Providence Hospital
Move Opposed by Unit
Opposition to the proposed moving
of Providence Hospital was voiced
last night at the Anacostia Citizen’s
Association.
It had been suggested that the
hospital be removed from its pres
ent location, Second and D streets
SB., to the Catholic University area,
on ground owned by the Catholc
Sisters College.
The association said Providence
Hospital is the most convenient one
to their section. David Sachs, Law
rence Perry and William Benhoff,
president of the association, were
appointed as a committee to inves
tigate the matter.
The hospital has been in its pres
ent location since 1881, when it was
founded by the Catholic Sisters of
Charity to attend Civil War cas
ualties.
Mr. Benhoff appointed Mrs. L. Jr
Burton, Herman Wilier and Fred W.
Traband as a nominating committee.

One of the few educational ex
hibits was one arranged for the
Baltimore Housing Authority by a
former Washingtonian, Oliver C.

Now executive director of the
Baltimore public housing agency, Mr.
Winston formerly was in charge of
the Washington area office of the
Federal Public Housing Authority.
He arrived here two months ago to
take over his new job and still hasn't
found a place to live. His predics
ment recently was good for a couple
of humorous newspaper articles
based on the paradox of a “housing
official" being unable to find a house.
Mr. Winston said he is commuting
