NEW PLANT To
HOUSE MEN At
WALTER REED
Present Frame Structures in
Which Patents Are Confined
Held as Fire Traps by Forbes
SITUATION IS SURVEYED
Bureau disqualification Experts
to Submit Recommendations
to President in a Few Days

Removal of the $50 patients of
the Veterans Bureau at Walter
Reed to a new $1,500,000 hos
pital to be built in or near Wash
ington is under consideration by
officials of the Veterans Bureau,
it became known yesterday. A
survey of the local disqualification
situation is now being made
under the supervision Of Col.
Charles R. Forbes, director of
the bureau. He is expected to
make his report and recommenda-
tions to President Harding within
q few days.
CALLED FIRE-TRAP.
While no abandonment Of Walter
Reed General Hospital is contem-
plated. the erection of the new 500
bed plant will necessarily mean the
evacuation OF the frame wards and
additions to the army sanitarium. 1t
is pointed out by officials of the
bureau The frame sections com
prise about nine-tenths of the bed
capacity at Walter Reed.
In explaining his estimate of what
is necessary to provide adequate
disqualification for manned war vet
Grams. before a group of Baltimore
officials. Colonel Forbes voiced his
opposition to the cantonment type
of hospital
81 am absolutely opposed to the
present frame fire-traps at Walter
Reed and hope to have them re-
placed in the near future. was his
explanation of the stand he has
taken on the largest of the general
hospitals here. According to Of
fiefals at Walter Reed, the frame
additions now have a capacity of
more than 1000 beds The old
brick section of the hospital has 126
beds in il.
Haunted by the memory of the
fire at Walter Reed some time ago,
in which two veterans lost their
lives, the bureau director has more
than once demanded that the frame
additions be torn down and fire
proof wards erected in their stead.
CONGRESS MUST ACT.
There are now approximately 500
patients at Walter Reed, according
to the executive officer of that in
stitution. Three hundred and fifty
of this number are bureau charges
The rest come from various ranks
of the army.
Even though the former service
men are removed, 1t will still be
necessary to use the frame struc-
lures, unless Congress provides for
their razing. Whether any such
plan is being contemplated by the
War Department could not be
learned yesterday.
Earlv this week. in IN interview
with The Herald, Colonel Forbes said
he expected to complete the sur
vey of hospital needs here within
a short time. At that time. he
said. he expected that the buildings
to be erected will represent the most
modern hospital construction possi-
BILE. Colonel Forbes was quite sure
that the President would recon-
mend the necessary legislation.

SUES MELLON
FOR OLD PLACE
Clay Petitions District Su-
preme Court for Reinstate-
ment In Treasury. -.

William L. Clay, former CHIEF
clerk of the savings division OF the
Treasury Department. by his at.
torney, II. Mason Welch, has pc
titioned the Supreme Court of the
District of Columbia for the 10.
suance Of writ of rnandamus
against the Secretary Of the Treas
ury directing that he revoke his
order OF July s abolishing the posi-
ton Of chief clerk. savings division,
and reinstate. the petitioner therein,
he having held that office since
May, 1918.
In his petition he AYERS the order
Of the Secretary was, not q fair
exercise of the discretionary power
vested by law in the Secretary OF
the Treasury. but on the contrary
was an arbitrary action taken In
retaliation Of Clay's suit for libel
against Lew Wallace, jr., and
Charles H. Fulloway. growing out
OF a letter written to Senator Wads-
worth in reply to a letter sent to
the Treasury Department in Clay's
behalf.
The petition further alleges that
no charges OF inefficency have been
preferred and that the position
which the secretary purported to
abolish was Immediately filled by
the appointment or transfer of one
II. r. Sheppard, who 10 at the
present time performing the same
duties formerly performed by Clay.
In asking the court to issue the writ
the petitioner alleges that the order
Of the Secretary is not well founded
In law and is an attempt to circum-
vent and a ruse to evade the letter
and spirit of the civil service act,
the petitioner having been certified
to the Treasury Department by the
Civil Service Commission as a result
Of a competitive examination.
This case involves not only the
petitioners position, but incidentally
the right Of an administrative off,
cial OF the Federal Government to
abolish without sufficient cause a
Government office merely to oust
the incumbent and his right to i'm.
mediately fill ths vacancy by re.
creating the same office under, a
different name and filling 1t with q
new appointee.
