Grace Hospital Is Out
Against Unified Control

New Haven. Jan. Is R-The
Grace hospital relief association
executive committee last night vot-
ed against the proposals of unified
control and merger of the Grace and
New Haven hospitals. The directors
recently submitted plan OF mers-
ing with the New Haven hospital
and at the meeting of the relief
association last night a unanimous
vote OF the sixty members turned
the proposal down.
Permission to request the Com
munity Chest to conduct a drive for
funds to pay off the debt Of the
Grace hospital. was also favored by
the committee. According to the
decision Of the committee any adop-
ton Of unified control would result
in actual merger of the two institu-
tons and would mean the loss of
opportunity for service as an open
hospital. Five reasons are given as
advantages Of remaining an open
hospital, among them being given
that it prevents patients from be-
coming material for medical ana
surgical instruction only"
