FOR ST. E[|zAbETH'S
DR.. White Asks More Funds
for Buildings to Relieve
0vercrowding.

Estimates providing for an appro-
priation Of about $5,000.00 for con-
struction Of buildings to relieve crowd
ed conditions at st. Elizabeth's Hos
pttal have been laid before the Blu
reau of the Budget by DIR. William A.
White, superintendent of the hospital,
after conference with Secretary of the
Interior Work.
The plans explained by DR.. White
call for construction Of nine new build
ings, to replace the temporary struc-
lures put up during the war. now
being used to the extent Of their
capacity. One thousand new beds
would be provided under the new
scheme. while 500 beds In temporary
buildings would be replaced in per-
manent structures.
OvercrOwding Apparent.
Overcrowding at st. Elizabeth's has
been apparent for years, augmented
by the great number of veterans of
the World War sent to the hospital
for psychtatric and psychopathic
treatment. More than 1000 Of the ap-
proximate $500 patients In the insti-
tuition are from the District of Co
lumbia. The recent annual report of
the Interior Department called atten-
ton to overcrowded conditions. A de-
u cdSc lIOih S1,oOo,UOO, the present
available amount, to $1,159, 900 Is pro-
vided for in the 1927 estimates for the
hospital, submitted to Congress three
days ago.
Although st. Elizabeth's Hospital Is
now the largest and best equipped of
its kind in the United States, Dr.
White explained he wishes to increase
It's bed capacity and replace the tenn
porary buildings. A resolution was
introduced in the Senate yesterday
by Senator Shipstead of Minnesota
providing for an investigation at the
hospital.
The inquiry would also touch on
that portion of a recent report of a
local grand jury which expressed the
belief that many persons are Illegally
confined there.
Figures Support Petition.
DIR. White supported his Budget
Bureau petition with figures showing
a total of 4464 patients in the hospi-
tai on November -, against 1926 on
June 80.
Secretary Work believes complete
decentralization Of the World War
patients not in the psyoopathic or
psychiatric wards of the hospital and
their transfer TO Veterans Bureau
hospitals should be effected as soon
as possible. making room for more
insane patients.
