Semiprivate rooms which were $5 and $5.50 were increased to $6 a day, and ward prices from $4 and $4.50 a day to a flat $5. Children's Hospital was said by Miss Mattie Ciibson superintendent, to be contemplating raises, cush ioned to have least possible effect on the most needy. Providence Hospital officials said there had been no change in rates but that it appeared they would be "forced to ” before long. Casualty Considers Raise. At Casualty Hospital it was said that it “very possible” that there would be a change in rates soon. i At Episcopal Eye, Ear and Throat Hospital no recent changes have been made and it was said “we hope we won’t have to." At Arlington Hospital it was said no change had been made in rates. Homeopathic Hospital officials said no raises in charges for hospital rooms had been made "as yet.” Suburban Hospital (Montgomery County) officials said there was an increase in rates there April 15, but ■one since. Emergency Hospital increase con templated immediately. GHI to Improve Service. Mr. Himes said Group Hospitali zation, Inc., had begun a study of ways and means to improve benefits offered its members. He said it was hoped a plan could be worked out which would be ac ceptable to the hospitals and would provide greater facilities for GHI members, yet result in either no additional or at best a small added charge to members. The GHI president said he had been cognizant for some time that hospital operating costs were rising. "We are the trustees for the hospital users, not the hospitals,” he said. “However, we intend to arrive at a solution which will be equitable to both.” Raises Called Imperative. William R. Castle, head of the newly formed National Capital Area Hospital Council, and who is also president of Garfield Hospital, said it was practically imperative that hospitals of the area raise their charges. He, as did all other hos pital officials interviewed, said other costs had also risen. The hospitals without endowments or govern mental aid, Mr. Castle said, were in a particularly difficult financial position because of the raising of nurses’ salaries and other added costs. Hospitals have had a general in formal agreement to raise wages of nurses, it was learned. Mr. Castle said that in the future it was earnestly hoped that, through the council which he heads, uniform policies as to charges and other practices could be established.
