WAR VETERANS' HOSPITAL PLAN STRIKES SNAG House and Senate Deadlock Over Locations of Institutions. By Scripps-Hoicard Net espaper Alliance . WASHINGTON. Mtfrch 4.—Provisions for additional hospital facilities for World war veterans in twenty states is endangered seriously today because of a deadlock between house and senate. Unless differences are compromised by noon Wednesday, a construction program involving a minimum of 6,000 beds will be delayed for a year. The house, after prolonged investigation, passed a hospitalization bill appropriating $12,500,000 for additional facilities and stipulating where these institutions shall be located. When the measure reached the senate, the finance committee raised the cost to $20,800,000, but struck out definite allocation of hospitals. When the measure went to conference, spokesmen for the two branches were unable to harmonize their differences. Representatives refuse to strike out the definite locality provision and senators refused to accept it. Senators contend that this smacks of congressional log-rolling, but Mrs. Edith Mourse Rogers, representative from Masasehusetts, chairman of the house conferees, reports “there is not a particle of truth in this.” “We have located hospitals, after an exhaustive hearing, upon the recommendation of General Hines, head of the veterans’ administration,” she said. “If our plan is followed, the hospitals will be constructed speedily and where needed.*’ The proposed r.jw hospitals are slated for Cincinnati, Pittsburgh and Coatesville, Pa.; Chautauqua county, New York; Vermont; Augusta, Ga.; South Carolina, Tuscaloosa, Ala.; Gulfport, Miss.; Chillicothe, O.; Camp Custer, Mich.; St. Cloud, Minn.; Iowa; South Dakota; California; Belford and Rutland, Mass; Boise, Idaho; Helena, Mont.; Waco, Tex.; Arkansas, Nevada and Wyoming.
