VETERAN CLINIC
REPORTED.DUE
To Be MOVED .
Ire Of Legion Men Stirred by
Transfer Plan Laid to
General Hines

Transfer of the regional
clinic of the Veterans Bureau
to Mount Alto Hospital is re-
ported to have been ordered
by Gen. Frank T. Hines, Adj
ministrator of Veterans At
fairs.
The clinic is now at Fifteenth
and Vermont Avenue Northwest,
where between 500 and 1000 per.
sons are treated daily. Removal
of it to Mount Alto Hospital, 1t
is declared, would deprive most
of that number of regular atten-
ton.
Officials of the bureau deny
such a. change is contemplated,
but from authentic sources comes
the report that General Hines,
without consulting doctors in
charge of the various units Of
the clinic, has decided upon the
transfer.
An Expensive Change
The change, it is said, would
incur considerable expenditure
and would prevent many disabled
veterans and other ex-service
workers. employed downtown,
from their regular attention at
the clinic.
Those objecting to the move
point out that such persons
would be unable to obtain leave
from their offices to go every
day to the 1900 block of Wiscon-
sin Avenue Northwest, where
Mount Alto Hospital is located.
Facilities for the treatment Of
such a large number Of patients
at the hospital are reported
lacking. The number of cases
now being attended there require
the attention of the staff and
use of the facilities, it is said,
The hospital is already crowded.
Vet Groups Opposed
Equipment in the Vermont Ave
nue. building would have to be
transferred at large cost, doctors
say.
Doctors in charge of unit say
thaS many who would be de-
prived of treatment daily will
have their health jeopardized by
the transfer.
Persons treated at the regional
clinic are those who were dis
abled because of service in the
war or whose later condition,
which affects their working ca.
pacity, was caused by such ser.
vice. These include soldiers,
sailors, nurses, and others who
were in the World War.
The American Legion and the
Veterans of Foreign Wars are
said strenuously to oppose
change.

PAIR ACQUITTED
BUT REMAIN
SUSPENDED
Both Present at Harker Beat
ing Laid to Mostyn, LafIin,
Testimony in Court

Policemen William c. GrOoms
and w. T. Burroughs, Of the
First precinct, may be ordered
by the District Commission ers
to face a Police Trial Board
as the result of the "third de-
gree" charges of James H.
Harkcr.
The two were acquitted yester-
day by a District Supreme Court
jury, which at the same time
found Policemen James A.
Mostyn and William R. Laflin
guilty of assault on Harker.
The policemen were suspended
in August. The suspension order
was approved by the Commission
ers.
Up To Commissioners
AS a result of this action, the
city heads now have the final
say as to whether the man will
face a departmental trial or oe
restored to the force. ..
It is believed the Commission
ers will order Grooms and Bur
roughs before the trial board
since testimony at the. trial was
to the effect that they were in
the same room and saw Mostyn
and Laflin beat Harker.
From this testimony, charges
of conduct prejudicial to the de-
partment may be drawn. The
conviction of Mostyn and Laflin,
if sustained. calls for their auto
matte dismissal from the police
force.
Sc "Weak" Cases
Meanwhile Corporation Counsel
William w. Bride and his as
sistant, Chester H Gray, are put
ting the finishing touches on a
report dealing with Sc other cases
of police brutality reported by
the Department of Justice.
In all of these cases, the Fed
eral department reported there
was insufficient evidence to war
rant asking indictments. 1t is
known that virtually all of these
cases are weak" and it is be-
lieved that few if any will be
made the basis for departmental
trials.

Members Withhold Donations
Pending Outcome OF Row
With Chest Chiefs

With the American Legion
on the verge of withdrawing
from the Community Chest,
Legionnaires employed in Gov
ernment departments are de-
laving their contributions to
the Chest pending the outcome
of the row.
Should the Legion withdraw, it
Is planned for the veterans organi-
zation to stage it's own fund drive
for relief work parallel with that
of the Chest. In that event Legion
members will naturally wish to
turn over their subscriptions to the
Legion rather than to the Chest.
Proposed by McGrath
The suggestion that Legion men,
bers withhold their donations
pending settlement of the row was
offered before a meeting of the ex-
ecutive committee of the District
department of the Legion Tuesday
night by w. H. McGrath, junior
vice commander of the depart
ment.
McGrath also attacked the al
legged coercion of Government en-
ployes in the matter of gifts to the
Chest, branding such action legal
lied hijacking" and calling on the
Legion to fight it.
Showdown Tomorrow.
The Legion-C Chest row is due to
reach a showdown tomorrow, when
a committee from the Legion, in
cluding past commanders, will pre-
sent to the executive committee of
the Chest the decision of the Le-
gion to withdraw if the Chest con-
tinueS to insist that the Legion
unite with the Disabled American
Veterans of the World War in re-
lief work.
Chest officials have announced
they will withhold funds from the
Legion until this is done.
