Health Centers Urged
Over City to Treat
Tuberculosis
Dr. Coulter Asks
Funds to Set Up Clinics
Throughout District •
Establishment of health centers
throughout the city for the treat
ment and prevention of tubercu
losis was urged yesterday in an ad
dress by Dr. A. Barklie Coulter, di
rector of the Bureau for Tubercu
losis, District Health Department.
Dr. Coulter, speaking at the open
ing of the second week of the
Health Institute, sponsored by the
District W. P. A., urged adequate
appropriations for the control of
tuberculosis.
"It has been found necessary,”
continued Dr. Coulter,” to bring
clinic facilities to the patients rather
than the patient to the clinic, which
forcibly backs up the argument of
the District health officer for the
establishment of health centers at
strategic points throughout the city.”
The speaker said 850 cases of tu
berculosis were hospitalized last year.
Pointin out the increase In the
number of hospitalized over pre
vious years. Dr. Coulter added:
“We should not feel satisfied until
this program has reached a point
where all known cases are hospital
ized and where arrested cases are
under medical supervision.”
Elsewhere in his address he said
tuberculosis is demoralizing “from a
sociological and economic viewpoint”
and urged that the District profit
by “well-rounded programs," like
those established elsewhere for the
control of the disease.
Dr. Coulter spoke at the House
keeping Aid headquarters, 61 I
street N.W., where he will deliver
addresses on “Tuberculosis” at 9 a.m.
each day through Thursday. On
Friday, due to the increased at
tendance at the Health Institute
meetings. Dr. Coulter will speak in
the auditorium of the Public Health
Service.

Use of More Relief Funds
To Aid Farmer Urged
Chairman Jones of the House
Agriculture Committee yesterday
called for use of more relief money
to subsidize the distribution of sur
plus farm commodities, through
regular manufacturing and retail
channels, to low income groups.
“If a considerable portion of the
relief funds were used in this way,
more might be accomplished in the
way of employment than through
regular relief channels,'’ he said in
a formal statement.
Representative Jones proposed
this policy, continuation of Federal
loans to bolster farm prices, and a
system of Government payments to
farmers for soil-building crops and
practices on a definite percentage of
the tilled acres of each farm, as
“essentials" of future farm pro
grams.
The system of payments which he
proposed, he said, would permit the
farmer to plant crops he chose on
the percentage of his tilled acreage
not covered by soil conservation
programs.
Representative Jones said the ad
ministrations farm program should
be continued, but that it should be
changed and simplified.

Koosevelt Signs Bill
To End Special Coins
By the Associated Press.
President Roosevelt yesterday
signed legislation which congression
al committees said would "stop a
racket in the issuance of com
memorative coins "
The act prohibits further issuance
and coinage of special coins author
ized by Congress prior to March 1
1939.
Treasury officials complained that
this coin legislation "encourages
traffic in commemorative coins tor
private profit, increases the pos
sibilities of counterfeiting and in
general detracts from the purpose
for which money is used.”
Congress was told that coin deal
ers and celebration committees often
induced mints to coin numerous dil-,
ferent issues with resulting loud pro
tests from coin collectors.

Auto Railer Company
Seeks to Abandon
Virginia Line
Inability to Make
Operating Expenses
Cited Before I. C. C.
Pleading inability to make oper
ating expenses despite rigid econo
my, the Arlington & Fairfax Auto
Railroad Co. today asked permis
sion of the Interstate Commerce
Commission to abandon service in
nearby Virginia.
Two routes are named in the ap
plication: Rosslyn, Arlington and
Fairfax Court House, via Clarendon,
East Falls Church and Vienna and
Rosslyn to Green Valley.
The company was the successor to
the old Arlington & Fairfax Co., an
electric line, and operates auto
railers.
The I. C. C. said recently the
line could increase fares to bolster
declining revenues, but at the same
time application of competitors for
a similar increase Was turned down,
and the Arlington & Fairfax, con
sequently, was not able, because of
the competitive situation, to take
advantage of the raise.
Counsel for the auto railroad com
pany explained the line is in de
fault on all its obligations, includ
ing those for equipment, and is
faced with the necessity of “doing
something to clear the books." What
course will be taken depends, it
was stated, on the action of the I
C. C.

Security Legislation
Hailed by Altmeyer
The changes in the social security
law approved by Congress in the
final days of the session constitute
"the most important piece of legis
lation this Congress or any Con
gress since I have been here has
passed,” Arthur J. Altmeyer, chair
man of the Social Security Board,
said yesterday at a press confer
ence. He said that in effect it was
a group insurance policy for 45,
000,000 persons.
Mr. Altmeyer said that his or
ganization planned soon to under
take a study of expansion so that
it will be ready on January 1, 1940,
to adjudicate the hundreds of thou
sands of old-age pension claims
which will be presented.
He reported that within the week
his board will have prepared a
question-and-answer quiz as a sim
ple explainer of the significance of
the new law.
The chief change in the law, Mr.
Altmeyer said, was that it turned
the old-age insurance into a system
of Insurance for the aged and their
survivors. The survivors of young
workers also are benefited.
Japan’s materials mobilization law,
a result of the war in China, has
put 88,305 small and medium-sized
business and industrial concerns out
of existence.

“Tom, it’s certainly a relief to get all of our bills
paid and to have only one remittance each month
to the Morris Plan Bank. ”
“Yes, and not only that, but by making the loan
to pay all those bills we protected our credit at
the stores and reduced our monthly outlay as
well, because the monthly remittance to the Bank
is not nearly as much as the total we were paying
each month to the various stores. ”
