said they could not complain Of any
of these The general mess hall, which
seats approximately 600 of the ex-
service men patients and for whom
plates and other eating utensils had
been laid preparatory to the evening
meal, presented an appearance of con-
spicuous cleanliness The whole was
arranged in the order Of regular
army mess hall and the kitchens gave
no appearance of having been neg
lected.
An objection was raised by General
Wingate regarding the general mess
There was always danger Of contamina
tion when patients of varying ailments
were permitted to sit aide by side and
exchange eating utensils, he said. and
he stressed the need for cafeteria
system to supplant the present method
According to Colonel ]. O. Cobb, United
States Public Health Service officer in
charge of the hospital, q request has
already been made upon Surgeon Cen
eral Cumming for the installation of
the cafeteria. The cost, he told Senate r
Calder, would not be more than SIS, 04O.
L. was explained, however, that no COM
murlcable disease cases are allowed TO
use the general mess.
A visit to the special messes revealed
that glass-topped tables seating four
and five patients and enameled arm
chairs are supplied them that the
halls themselves are bright and airy
and that enough doors and windows
exist to enable these halls to be evac-
uated in less than ten minutes in case
OF fire or other emergency.
A shortage of doctors and nurses
was freely admitted by officers on the
administrative staff Of the hospital
There was fully so per cent shortage
OF nurses, it was said, but at no time
had any patient been obliged to go
without treatment. Sick call is held
IN each of the wards both morning and
q afternoon.
W. F. Ottarson. director Of Federal
vocational rehabilitation at the Fox
Hills Hospital, said that less than 300
OF the ex-service men there had sought
or even desired to take the educational
work offered them. The wards had
been literally combed for students. he
said
MI. Ottarson declares the complaints
against Colonel Cobb's administration
we're ridiculous that since Colonel
1obb took charge for the Public Health
service last October the hospital had
'een improved 200 per cent over the
conditions said to exist when the insti-
utlon was under control of the army
Ofilcers on the administrative staff
declared they would welcome any au-
horized investigation of conditions At
