railroad gate keeper At silver Spring.
Nd. was refused admission 10 Walter
Reed Hospital after being struck By
a train and fatally injured, col.
Charles +. Mason, commanding ofhcer
Al the hospital, today gave The Times
the following signed statement with
reference to the policy OF the hospital
in giving emergency treatment to In
3ured civilians;
~whiie your story Of the Daymude
incident concerning the Walter Reed
Hospital sin the main correct. yet II
conveys the erroneous impression that
injured civilians are denied emerg-
sncy treatment in this Institution.
Always Admitted.
'.As a matter OF fact, such cases
are always admitted and are given
every possible assistance. The very
regrettable failure to do so in this
instance was due to the failure on
the part OF the noncomunissioned Of
ficer in charge to obey the hospital
regulations which govern in such
cases. Such failure could not possibly
have been provided against.
Ines medical OI1icer whose duty IL
is TO accept patients is on duty at
this hospital at all hours OF the day
and night The medical officer was
here at the time the call was received,
and he should have been notified by
the noncommissioned officer In
charge, as the hospital regulations
provide
1T was also the duty OF the non
commissioned officer in charge to
have reported anything unusual that
had occurred on his signed report of
the following morning. but this he
failed TO do, and nothing was known
of the incident by the officials OF the
hospital until about 10 o'clock a m.
when inquiry was made by a member
OF The Times stan regarding the mat
ter.
IL desired. I will gladly furnish
the names and addresses OF 2 mum
Der OF civilians who have been In
3ured in the vicinity and admitted to
the hospital without question. They.
I think, will testify as to the treat
nnent that was accorded them No
such cases have been refused.
