SOLDIERS DOCTORS
. SEVERELY SCORED
Senate Committee Hears OF
lnefficiency and Indifference
at Hospitals.

Criticism of conditions at govern
ment hospitals caring for veterans OF
the world war, made at the hearing
yesterday afternoon before Senate
committee investigating all govern
ment agencies dealing with the vet
Grams. included the alleged inability OF
government physicians to diagnose
cases properly. Conditions at govern
ment hospitals in Perryville. Md. and
Fort Thomas, KY. and the treatment
of mental cases at an insane asylum
in PhoeniXville. AriZ., were attacked
and charges of bureaucracy in wash
ington were made.
Charles c. Maine of Binghamton'
N Y. who said he represented other
patients at the Perryville hospital. de-
clared the hospital was located in
swamp, that sanitary conditions were
not satisfactory. that medicine was
not supplied unless requested. and
that the nervous and shell shock
patients who. he said, constituted the
majority under treatment. were
thrown into hysteria by the firing OF
heavy guns at the government prov
ing grounds at Aberdeen.
Saying he had failed to obtain
proper medical treatment in govern
nent hospitals, Joseph Z. McElroy of
GAINESVILLE. Ohio. declared he had ex-
pended over $4,000 in an effort to re-
cover from shell shock. He asserted
there was a force of seventy doctors,
nurses and other government en-
ployes at Fort Thomas. KY. where 1O4
patients are under treatment. Gov
ernment insane patients at Phoenix
Ariz., were not isolated. he said, but
were brought into contact with IN
sane criminals.
Cases were presented to the COM
mittee to emphasize alleged under
rating by the war risk insurance
bureau. it being charged that inef-
ficiency and indifference on the part
of the government physicians was
the cause Of much of it.
