GARFIELD HOSPITAL
SANITATION UNDER

The contagious ward at Garfield
Hospital has come in for sharp crit

The criticism comes from Jerry
South, chief clerk OF the House OF

the subcommittee made public today
disclose that Mr.. South criticised the
sanitary conditions at the hospital Sc
verely. He told of his own observa-
lions while his child had scarlet fe-

South, mother Of the child, a boy of
eight, was in the contagious ward
with the lad, and the two remained
there forty days or more.
The subcommittee took a keen in
terest ia Mr.. South's experiences, and
asked him to testify. In fact, Chair

taken to the hospital on an inspection
