years before any additional construc-
tion is even considered. Dedicated peo-
ple have been actively working for this
new building since 1938. Mr. President,
that is 23 years to get where we are
today. So let us act with foresight when
we pass this bill. Let us build a hospital
sufficiently large to last a few years be-
fore becoming critically overcrowded. In
short, let us do the job right.
Again, I want to say how pleased I
am about the House's action. The bill's
sponsor, Mrs. GRZZN of Oregon, should
be highly commended for her excellent
leadership, both in committee and on
the floor. She and her colleagues on
the Education and Labor Committee
have made a fine contribution, and they
should be congratulated.
My bill must now be considered by
the Labor and Public Welfare Commit-
tee. I do not know the committee work
schedule at this time, but I sincerely
hope this proposed legislation can be
taken up by the committee in time for
full Senate action this session. The
committee has passed this general bill
before?in 1958?and I know the able
chairman, the Senator from Alabama.
recognizes the importance of this bill in
1981. The hospital has had 3 more years
to deteriorate.
I believe it will take about 5 years
following this authorization to actually
acquire a new, working hospital. Since
this is the case, I sincerely hope Senate
action will be possible this session.
Mr. President, I ask unanimous con-
sent that news stories on Freedmen's
Hospital printed in the Washington Post
and Times ,Herald and the 'Washington
Evening Star be printed in the Rzcoan.
There being no objections, the articles
were ordered to be Printed in the Rec-

CILITY WOULD COOT UNITIED STAINS ADOUT
$10 MILLIoN
(By Morton Mintz)
The House passed and sent to the Senate
yesterday a bill to replace Freedmen's Hos-
pital with a new 600-bed institution costing
$9 to $10 million.
The bill passed on a rolicall vote of 821 to
61 after a floor debate that ranged into the
question of what impact the new hospital
would have on segregation of Negro physi-
cians and patients throughout the District.
A companion bill has been introduced in
the Senate by Senator Hosirar H. Hosaraiter,
Democrat, of Minnesota.
During the House debate the need to re-
place Freedmen's was not challenged.
Freedmen's was established by the Federal
Government at the close of the Civil War to
care for sick and destitute Negroes who
poured into Washington.
CALLED A DUMP
It. main building was built 53 years ago.
It has been termed a dump by, among others,
Abraham A. Ribiooff, Secretary of Health,
Education, and Welfare, who backed the leg-
islation. ?
The provision of the bill which evoked
considerable questioning. would convert
Freedmen's Into a medical school for How-
ard University.
Representative EDITH GUSH, Democrat, of
Oregon, the bill's sponsor, said the overrid-
ing consideration is that Howard, which has
trained about half the Nation's Negro phy-
slcians, have its oWn teaching hospital. She
said this would provide ''better administra-
tion, better care, and better training."
And, she added, the 437-bed Freedmen's
Is the only community hospital in the Unit-
ed States run by the Federal Government.
She told the House that her bill protects
fully the salaries, retirement, and other
rights which Freedman's employees have
under civil service.
emasariassine CHASTE.
Representative ALMS'S' a Qom Republi-
can, of Minnesota, said that the administra-
tion wants to transfer Freedmen's becalm it
is embarrassed to be the owner of a Segre-
gated institution.
Representative Cavities I. G000sia., Re-
publican, of New York, said that only about
80 of the eity's 270 Negro physicians have
courtesy privileges in District hospitals other
than Freedmen's.
He said he ii fearful that the transfer
would perpetuate the "pattern of discrimi-
nation" against Negro physicians.
Mrs. Oases and Representative James
RooalevELT, Democrat, of California. dis-
agreed. saying that Howard, which is feder-
ally financed, is integrated. "This will help,"
RoOstVELT said of the transfer. "Howard
University has made every effort not tO be a
segregated institution."
Many of the votes opposing the bill were
east by southern Democrats, including
Chairman Jonas L. Mcdamt.aw, Democrat, of
South Carolina, of the House District Com-
mittee and some committee members.

8SNATS GETS BILL To More Fareaumes--Ar-
ra0Vat ETTSCTSD Arran HOUSE PAIS=
Mittatree, 821 TO 81
(By John Iforalway)
Freedmen's Hospital, frequently described
as a dump and plagued by the joint direc-
tion of the Federal Government and a pri-
vate Institution, today seemed on the brink
of becoming a major contributor to the ad-
vance of local medicine.
After a long, hard fight of more than 3
years, the House yesterday passed and sent
to the Senate a bill which authorises the
transfer of the hospital to Upward Univer-
sity. The vote was 821 to 61.
Passage also is expected in the Senate.
Senator Hoursawr, Democrat, of IlInneliOte,
has introduced a similar bill, to be screened
by the Senate Education and Labor Gain-
mitts?.
The transfer was recommended by a spe-
cial study commission est up in 1055 under
former Health, Education, and Welfare Sec-
retary Oveta Culp Hobby. The commission
recommended that to assure hospital disci-
pline, effective coordination and control of
good business management, the hospital's
ownership and supervision should be vested
in Howard.
BALK= ST SIAPLOTKIN
But the Federal employees of the hospital
objected to the transfer, largely on the
grounds they would lose their civil service
benefita. Their argument Impressed Mem-
bers of Congress and the transfer never took
place.
This year. however, Representative Gainex,
Democrat, of Oregon, was convinced Federal
employees would lose little In the transfer,
guided the bill through the HODS. Educa-
tion Committee and saw it pass the House
yesterday.
In yesterday's Nouse debate on the bill.
Mrs. Gassn assured Members that hospital
emploYees would not have their malarial re-
duced, they would continue their civil serv-
ice retirement pregnuns and they would
retain seniority rights now enjoyed With
service to the hospital.
AUTH0a1Z.ES NEW HOSPITAL
Even frugal Representative GiOse, Re-
publican, of Iowa. had no objection to the
bill, which authorizes a new 500-bed hospi-
tal to replace facilities most recently de-
scribed by Welfare Secretary Ribicoff as In
the dump category.
As Mrs. Clams pointed out yesterday.
Freedmen's is the only community hospital
operated by the Federal Government.
This came about as a result of a flood of
freed slaves who arrived in Washington
shortly after the Civil War. Its purpose at
that time was to care for sick and destitute
Negroes..
Sines that time, It. control has passed
among the old War Department, the Interior
Department, the District government, the
Federal Security Agency, and finally the De-
partment of Health. Education, and Wel-
fare.
As Mrs. Gams put it yesterday, the bill
gives the Government an opportunity to get
out of the business of operating what was
largely a private hospital.
She denied the assertion by Representa-
tive Qom Republican, of Minnesota, that
the sole purpose of the bill was to free the
Federal Government from the embarrass-
ment of operating a segregated hospital for
Negroes.
Mrs. Giterze said the hospital is not seg-
regated and that it needs new facilities
desperately.
ROLE OF MILITARY OFFICERS
IN PUBLIC FORUMS
Mr. THURMOND, Mr. President, I
note with some interest the comments of
the President in his news conference
today with regard to the role of military
officers 'in public forums. I sincerely
regret to see that the President appar-
ently expressed himself as favorable to
the modification of the 1958 National
Security Council directive which estab-
lished the policy whereby military lead-
ers and facilities are to be used in the
efforts to inform their personnel and the
public on the menace of the cold war.
I ask unanimous consent that the text of
the Associated Press and United Press
International reports of the President's
press conference on this matter be
printed in the Ramie at this point in
my remarks.
There being no objection, the reports
were ordered to be printed hi the Recorta,
as follows:
Kennedy was asked about the controversy
Which grew from a memo that Senator PM.-
smarm sent to Secretary of Defense Mc-
Namara protesting the role of military
officers in public forums, which the Senator
said had distorted their declared objective of
educating Americans on the Communist
nionane.
The. President said the Constitution wisely
keeps the military out of politica. A problem
will always exist, he went on, in enabling
military men to express their views on great
problem while keeping them out of political
Ill, and maintaining civilian control over
the Armed Forces. But he said the National
Security Council should clarify the direcUve
on which the military serviced; have based
their educational programs.
President Kennedy odd today the chief
objective of a Defense Department directive
about public statements by military cdteers
is to prevent the exploitation of service
leaders.
Kennedy toldhhi news conference, in re-
sponse to questions, that he believes that
Senator Iectaanner performed a negro!. sere-
