Urge Cancellation Of
All Contracts With
Hospitals

Washington, Get. 3T.-Cancel-
lation by the veterans bureau OF
contracts with all state, munici-
pal and private hospitals not es-
tablished prior to July 1, 1917,
and with all others found 20 be
unsuitable was included among
administrative reforms in veteran
relief activities recommended BY
the special senate committee in
vestigating the subject in a report
published today, the second COM
piled by the committee in its un-
completed task.
The committee recommended
an appropriation Of $16,400,OO0
for hospital construction and also
that all government hospitals, in
soldiers homes, not need
ed by the army or navy, be turn
ed over to the veterans bureau.
Asserting the government had
failed to obtain results "commen-
surate with the large expendf-
lures" in rehabilitation work, the
committee reported with deep re-
gret" the melancholy fact" that
out of total Of 256,O0O approved
applicants for vocational training
up to last July / only 5055 have
been rehabilitated, 108, 600 having
training up to that date.
Of the $4,000 eligible for training
without pay who have not enter
ed training, the committee found
that vast majority had not

The chief recommendation of

phase of the work was standardi-
sation OF training courses, while
permitting the applicant to select

ion.

and expenditures of |

HOSPITAL
STONE LAID

TWO hundred friends Of the Sa-
lem hospital association attended
the laying Of the cornerstone OF
the new building on Center street
yesterday.
In making his Introductory re-
marks, August Huckestein, chair
man OF the ceremonies. addressed
the representatives Of the SO diff
ferent organizations Of the city
stating:
vThe purpose Of getting yon
here Is ID let you see what IS be-
ing done so that you can carry
word back to your organizations,
and, in measure, scIi them OF the
great need OF their supporting
such an institution.
This Is indeed day for which
we should all be grateful as well
as thankful" said Mayor George
E. Halvorsen. In his speech on
behalf OF the people Of Salem. IT
Ii day we have all been looking
forward to-the laying Of the cor
merstone OF this institution"
DIR. w. B. Morse, speaking on
behalf OF the medical profession,
reviewed the situation in Salem
many years ago before any hos
pital facilities were to be had,
stating that the new hospital
would be fully equipped with all
modern equipment, with standard
ixed methods OF handling cases
and consultations between the
medical staff Of the institution
and those directly In charge OF pa
tient 80 that unnecessary work
would be avoided.
In making the principal address
or the day DR. b. u. Sleeves
brought out the Importance OF
having a modern hospital in this
city.
Every community OF import
ance IN this nation has Its hos
pital, each striving to maintain a
certain standard Of excellence. in
fact the progressivenes Of city
can be measured by the character
or the hospital II maintains. Wei
have not kept pace with other
communities In this regard. For
many years the hospital situation
has been reproach to our city.
Salem ranks high as one OF the
leading cities OF Oregon. II recog-
nizad as one OF the most beauti-
fiTi cities Of the United States. As
d center OF influence It's reputa-
tion has gone far. It Is rich In
historic tradition, it is the seat Of
a University, and from cultural
standpoint, Salem has exerted a
powerful influence over the entire
northwest.
'fAnd so 1t would seem that ev-
cry person calling Salem his home
would wish to have some share IN
this building. to own at least one
brlrk within its walls, TO have at
Ieaht some small sense OF proprie-
torship should 1t ever be his lot to
need that care which only a hos
pital can give"
''An investment in an institu-
Hon OF this kind will bring the
largest returns in practical re-
,ults. We believe the people OF
Salem realize this and we have
'aith that the money will be con-
ributed to complete and equip
his building so that visitors and
'trangers can be shown with pride I,
! hospital inferior In point OF cx-
'ellence TO none on the Pacific
Ioast."
Bert Sleeman Of Portland spoke .
10 behalf OF labor stating that /,
ahor was behind the hospital and
|tfered Its hearty cooperation.
The Salem band, led by Oscar
donated It's services
or the occasion and rendered two
elections.
