Unnamed Witness Tells Sen.
! ators Of DepiorabIe Hos
pitaI Conditions.

Testimony given yesterday AFTER
noon before the Senate committee IN
vestigating government agencies
dealing with the veterans OF tho
world war was to the effect that
former service men were improperly
cared for and actually i'll treated at
government and contract hospitals.
The name Of the witness. tuber-
cular patent. who developed the dis
ease in the Army, was withheld by
the committee. The witness told the
committee that he received no COM
pensation for six months after Ming
his claim. although prevented by
hemorrhages from doing theatrical
work. in which he was engaged be-
fore entering the Army.
He described conditions In hospi-
tails at Greeneville, S. c.; Liberty. N.
Y; Phoenix and Tucson, Ariz.; Pres
colt, Ariz., and Los Angeles and Mon
rovia, Calf. charging that facilities
for the proper treatment OF tuoercu-
losis patients were inadequate, the
physicians and nurses unsympathetic
and in many instances inefficient, the
food Door and conditions insanitary
When the contract hospital at
Liberty. N. Y. was destroyed oy nIe;
the patients lost their clothing and
other personal property. the witness
said, adding that all efforts OF the
men to recover from the government
had failed.
Local Hospital Given Credit.
The Casualty Hospital, Washington.
was the only hospital visited by the
witness. which he considered properly
equipped and managed.
He told of a contract physician in
California who upon payment by pa
tients of thirty dollars a month in
addition to the allowance made him
by the government, gave proper pri-
vate treatment to patients, but who
otherwise placed the men in a board
ing house. where he paid twelve dol
lars a week for each patient. collect
ing from the government, $24.65 for
each. ....
Former service men under hospital
treatment are afraid to complain, the
witness stated. because If they do they
will enther be compelled to leave the
hospital or be classed as mental pa
tients and be sent to an insane asy-
lum.

MUST CUT WASTE
TO MEET:EUR0PE'
L. W. Wallace Tells City Club
How to Keep Up Purchas-
ing Power.

American industrial management
must make a big improvement in
eliminating industrial wastes if it is
to meet the low-cost competition of
Europe and keep up the purchasing
power of the American public, L. w.
Wallace, executive secretary of the
American Engineering Council. told
the City Clubs luncheon forum yes
terday.
Fortunately, the opportunity to
make such Improvement is strikingly
present Mr.. Wallace added. The re-
key industries has shown, he. said.
that enormous wastes can be ;elimi-
mated by better management and by
taking advantage of the technical
knowledge now. available.
"Manufaeture,s am. dU in interrelsted in.
knowledge of each others require
ments. The paper manufacturer
knows little of the needs of paper
users: there is no cooperation be-
tween the woolen mills and the
clothing manufacturers who use their
product"
Overcapaclty a Cause.
Overcapacity of productive equip
ment to meet the needs of the market
was found to be another great cause
Of waste. Mr.. Wallace said The
printing industry. he asserted. had
a productive capacity of twice it's
annual output; other industries could
increase their production by half if
their entire productive capacity were
used.
Another great waste. he said. came
from the speculation of manufac-
turers in raw materials. I'VE do not
say the manufacturer must not spec
ulate," he said, but we do know
that great wastes are caused when
he unloads his losses on the public"
The need of better technical edu-
cation for employees also was found
so important, the speaker said. that
the councils findings had been turned
over to the National Reserch Coun-
Gil, with a request that it develop
a comprehensive plan for industrial
education.
Must Cut Waste.
american industry must pull itself
together and cut out these great
wastes if we are not to have recur-
ring and increasing social unrest, and
IL we are to meet European compe-
tition with low-coSt labor without
lowering the, purchasing power of
the American people"
John Walsh, chairman, asserted.
following Mr.. Wallace's talk, that 1t
was one of the most important given
at the clubs forum in more than
year. Mr.. Wallace was given a.vote
of thanks.

HARDING SAYS
 VISIT ALASKA
 DREAM OF LIFE

SEATTLE, Jan. 22.-J. L. McPher- son, secretary of the Alaska bureau of the Chamber of Commerce, on his return form Washington to confer with officials on Alaskan affairs, stopped at Marion, o. and called on President-elect Warren G. Harding From members of the senator's staff MT. McPherson learned it is unlikely that the next president will come to the Pacific coast this winter, as was intimated in press advices from San Francisco,
 Senator Harding said to Mir. Nc Pherson, Tt has been a dream of mine to visit Alaska" after MT. Me Pherson: Tt has been a dream of album of Alaskan views in behalf of the Alaska bureau of the chamber of commerce.
 Tt was an inspiration to see the democracy of MT. Harding and his home," said MT. McPherson. His home Is not palatial; it is a very comfortable, American residence and there are hundreds of the same type to be found in any American com- munity. It reminds one of many of the older homes in Seattle. The day was there I found many men, prominent in the nations political life, waiting to see Mir. Harding, who came and went in the temporary Of flee rooms in an adjacent residence. It was wonderful to note the fine re- gard with which MT. Harding is held by his townspeople, who regard him as distinctly Marionite and a fellow of their own ideals"
 Marion, he said, has become a sort of mecca and each day there are i'm. portant conferences held there, with the next president trying to see all those who have engagements with him.
 There is much interest displayed in Washington, D. C., by men from vari- ous sections interested in the pro- posed emergency tariff measure re- garding the fate of this bill but the general sentiment is that the desired legislation will not become a law, said McPherson.
 When at the national capital, MT McPherson was impressed by mem- bers of congress with the determine tion to cut down appropriations and when appropriationsSare finally made it will be found that they have been cut materially.

PANACEA FOR MORAL ILLSOF
 GREAT CITIES

RUSKIN, Fla, Jan. 22 (by Associ- ated Press) IA panacea for the moral ills of great cities is offered by the Women's Twentieth Century Club of this town. The club adopted the fol- lowing resolution:
 Whereas, the confessions of a New York attorney, who likens his move ments in New York society to a gold fish swimming in circles in a glass jar and getting no place; and
 Whereas, the indictment against our criminal system by the retiring states attorney of Chicago, as re. ported in the public press of Decem. Der 6 and ', warns us of the menace of human values of great city where wealth accumulates and moral handi- caps decay;
 Therefore, the undersigned urge every public prosecutor to install in his office a department to prevent crime and put in charge of this de- partment an assistant whose efforts will be devoted in getting all races, creeds and organizations of men and women to cooperate in helping all moral handicaps to obey the law and keep out of jail"
