Dissatisfied with the atUtudo of the

general has officially notified ,he Health
Department that that Commonwealth
would refuse 10 receive John Early, the

nouncement comes today from Acting
Health Officer Mclean thdt ne viii inn
medtateiy submit the legal questions IN
volved TO the Corporation Counsel of the
District
The official correspondence between
the District and the North Carolina
health authorities was made public this
afternoon. and discloses tEat North
Carolina is determined JhGu Early shall
remain ward OF the District
Dr. Mclean, In advising Commissioner
Macfarland of this decision and IN sig
Eifying his intention 10 ask ald from
Corporation Counsel Thomas. states that
it will probably cost the District $500
per year, for many years, il Early re-
mains in Washington.
McLean's Recommendation.
His recommendation is as follows.
Il shall refer the legal questions in
volved TO the Corporation Counsel, IN
order that we NAV have his advice. On
the face of the papers the North caro-
lima authorities seem unwilling TO take
care of a North Carolina citizen who
had the leproSy before he ieft North
Carolina to make "A brief visit 10 " ash-
Ington, of course with the intention TO
return 10 his own dOmicile.
There appears TO be no reason why
the District Of Columbia should be al
the expense, which may amount 10
s.. 500 q year for Early's lifetime, posi-
blv many years 10 come, 10 keep TINS
North Carolina citizen in quarantine.
Mr. Early states that he is Fpertectly
Con1fOrtabls and prefers 70 remain
where he is, and the Health Department
will, OF course. have to maintain the
quarantine until something else can be
done But, in my Judgment, ne .s NOT
pronerlv a charge upon the District OF
Columbia.
