FORD HOSPITAL DOORS OPEN
Detroit institution to Admit Disabled
War Veterans Who Are In Need
of Attention.

A personal plea from Alvin Owsley,
national commander Of the American
Legion, to Henry Ford has resulted In
disqualification for 300 disabled war
veterans of Michigan.
Ford has agreed to throw open the
doors of his big hospital in Detroit to
every disabled ex-service man and
woman in the state, following Com
mander Owsley's statement of the
hopeless fight the Michigan veterans
were making because the government
failed to simplify the formal proceed
ure through which applicants for hos
pitalization are forced to go and which
has resulted in long delay in obtaining
relief for the war fighters.
After hearing the Legion heads ap-
peal, Mr. Ford Immediately instructed
the superintendent of the Henry Ford
hospital to receive at once any man In
need of hospital treatment who could
produce proof of war service. The
Ford hospital covers 20 acres in the
heart of Detroit 1t was used as United
States general hospital No. 36 during
and after the war.
