1 THE NASHVILLE TENNESSEAN Sunday Morning, September 1, 1940 HOSPITAL HELP FIGURES GIVEN What County Should Give Fixed at $107,000 By City Auditor Davidson Coun'v should spend $107,000 annually for out patient treatment and hospitalization of its medically indigent, if' it chose to make the same per capita contribution made by citizens of Nashville, It was estimated yesterday by City Auditor C. P. Moore. Moore, who has recently completed an audit of the affairs of city General Hospital, reported that per capita expenditures for the maintenance of Nashville General Hospital is $1.19 per year for each of the city's 167,415 citizens, or a total of $200,000. ESTIMATE "Using the basis in providGIVEN.
ing for the medically indigent who outside the with city its limits, David- of County population 89,996 outside the should spend about $107,000," Moore said. This sum could be provided through an additional tax levy of approximately four cents per $100, it was estimated. Moore said that if the county chose to contribute such an amount annually to the support of the General Hospital, it would be sufficient to amortization for money the city would have to borrow. to build an addition to accommodate the extra load of county patients, plus a substantial contribution toward operating expenses. Members of the board of commissioners of General Hospital are now having architects prepare estimates of the cost of a large addition to the hospital sufficient to care for the anticipated load increase for the next five or 10 years.
Tentative estimates place the cost of this addition and of improvements that will modernize the present surgical, clinical and other facilities of the hospital at approximately $500,000. City Auditor Moore said yesterday that the, city already has an investment $835,000 in the hospital buildings and equipment and an outstanding bonded indebtedness of $560,000. DAVIDSON PROVISIONS Davidson County now provides only $3,000 per year for hospitalization of its medically It also has allocated five beds in the hospital at the County Asylum for hospitalization of these indigents. This $3,000 contribution does not include the annual operating cost of the county's tuberculosis or its insane hospital, but such special hospitals do not offer the wide variety of out patient clinic treatment and hospitalization for general needs required by the mass of medically indigent. Mayor Thomas L.
Cummings said yesterday that the city is going to be forced to make a substantial payment out of its special equipment fund in the very near future to buy additional equipment to meet the increased demands on the facilities of General Hospital. He said that these demands have become pressing since Vanderbilt Hospital recently was forced for economic reasons to establish its schedule of minimum fees for clinic treatment and hospitalization.

G.O. P. Said Piqued by Willkie's Reliance on Independent Vote By HAROLD BRAYMAN Washington Correspondent NEW YORK, Aug. 24-One of the which organizational Wendell difficulties to eliminate while he is is is is is is is is in New York is the growth of jealousy among the three groups which are supporting him, the Republican Party, the Willkie Democrats and the Independent Willkie Clubs. ALL MOST IMPORTANT All three of these groups are very important, each in its own field.
If things do not work smoothly with the Republican Party and Willkie is elected, his effectiveness may be reduced. The Willkie Clubs, consisting largely of young people, many of whom have Democratic leanings, or are completely independent in politics, did perhaps more than anything else except personality and articulateness of Wendell Willkie to bring about his nomination. The Willkie Democratic organization likewise is extremely important, especially in the border states like Maryland, West Virginia, Tennessee, Kentucky, Missouri and NOTED GEORGIAN TO BE HONORED Tablets To Be Set Up in Home Of Stephens, Vice-President Of Confederacy ATLANTA, Aug. 31-INSThe memory of Alexander H.

AUSTIN PEAY STAFF TO BE UNCHANGED Assistant Librarian To Be Added to Faculty; School To Open Monday Oklahoma, and in the Southern States where Willkie has hopes. Willkie, so far, has been lavishing attention on the Willkie Democrats and the Oren Root group of Willkie Club organizers. This has piqued numerous members of the regular Republican organization who are unwilling to grant to the other groups the equality which Willkie seems determined to give.
This pique is noticeable among organization members who cannot possibly be classified as old guard Republicans, the group from which Willkie has studiously sought to divorce himself. There are Republican congressmen who feel they should be consulted more, Republican state chairmen who guessed wrong at Philadelphia and now think Willkie should come to them for advice, party workers who resent the Willkie clubs and the Willkie Democrats because they fear these people will have too much influence with Willkie if he is elected. TRYING TO STRAIGHTEN Willkie is trying to straighten them out and produce good feeling by seeing many of the party men who have had scant opportunity so far to talk to their candidate. Toexample, he saw Edwin F. Jaeckle, New York state chairman, who was a strong Dewey supporter in the pre-convention period.
Possibilities for jealousy are easily seen when it's realized that there are eight separate headquarters operating in New York City in behalf of the Willkie campaign. They are the Republican National Committee, Republican State Committee, the New York County Committee, the Associated Willkie Clubs, the Democrats for Willkie, the United Republican Finance Committee, an independent group headed by F. Trubee Davison; the Willkie Personal Headquarters and the just-organized Manhattan Committee for Willkie, an independent group. The three regular Republican organizations are somewhat disdainful of the other five which are classed by them as "the amateurs" and the amateurs are quite sure that they are the ones who will elect Mr. Willkie if he wins.
