STATE OFFERS
 NEW FACILITIES TO AID INSANE
California Builds Hospital As Model Institution
 For Nation
By JOHN ABBOTT

Sacramento, Cal, April 22-(UP) Fifty eight miles north of Los An geles, on a level stretch overlooking the Pacific Ocean, California has constructed what state officials be- lieve to be among the finest nistitu- tionS for treatment of the insane in the United States.
 The plant, Camarillo state hos pital, receives patients suffering from all types of insanity.
 WheE the siX-year building pro- gram is completed Camarillo will represent an investment of $8,OO0,- 900. It will house 5000 patients.
 Present qual-ers will accommo- date 2,400 patients. Additions will include female N1it (patients of both sexes currently are housed in tile finished building), a research building, medical unit and quar- ters fol aged, infirm and tubercu- louS mental cases.
 During the 1937-39 biennium the project will be materially ad- vanced through allocation of $2,757 ,000 in building funds.
 Spanish Style Architecture
 Because of moderate land costs ard climate favorable to the Spanish type of architecture, Camarillo is said to provide ad- vantages not found in most insti- tutionS for the insane.
 The present unit includes the series of low, red-roofed buildings usually associated with the Span- ish design. Each has it's enclosed patio or courtyard, offering exer- else facilities.
 Well have to recognize that California possesses unusual cli- matic features" declared Harry Lutgers, state director of institu- tions.
 This gives us a chance to per- init the patients exercise frequent ly, in an enclosed yard where they can be supervised. We have plenty of room on the grounds and for that reason we were generous with recreational fields
 Camarillo includes a central pa- tio covering seven acres, which serves as the principal playground Tennis, softball and badminton are more than merely decorative, Lutgens pointe dout.
 Buildings Quickly Cleared
 "In case of catastrophe we can get the patients out much faster, and the style of building insures adequate ventilation"
 To many disordered mind, the calm expanse Of the ocean will bring peace.
 The institution receives patients from Santa Barbara and Kern counties. and a limited number from Los Angeles county. Because of its setting, the application list is large but necessarily restricted
 All of the modern therapy con- sistent with sound medical prac- tice is employed at Camarillo in an effort to reclaim the men and Wo- men who have met something in life that has proved too much for their mental and physical makeup. | AS ir many other mental insti- tutions, needlework and painting classes for women and training in the crafts for men have caused many patients to lose their obses- sion in new found activity at Camarillo.
 The research unit will be the first of its kind in California.
 Lutgens criticized the old-fash- toned idea of high buildings with no provision for recreational activi- ties.

heard about and talked about was the bombing and sinking of the U. s. s. Panay and three American merchant ships; the smelling and bombing of three British river gum beats and several merchant ships on the Yangtze.
 "But these acts of deliberate war fare--for that is what they were-- really marked the end of White-- American and British dominance over third of the worlds people, and the definite triumph of Japan's long fight for the rulership of Asia and nearly one billion Asiatics.
 "The attacks on British and American war and merchant vessels were nothing less than cold-blood- ed, alculated actions, designed for two purposes: to destroy the remanants of white prestige in the Orient, and to demonstrate to all Asia that America and the British Empire are afraid to fight Japan"
 Marshall states that in keeping with his policy of humiliation" Japan allowed Americans to visit the Hongkew section of the Inter- national Settlement only at stated hours, and required that even then they must not smoke while passing Japanese sentry, but must bow to him and Good day!"
 "Even in the main settlement" he adds, which has been inter- national property for decades, American women are showed off the narrow sidewalks by strolling Japan ese soldiers and civilians, while mobs of Chinese look on and laugh"
 Marshall makes it clear that he does not believe the United States should fight either for it's rights or its commercial stake in Asia, the great body of American public opinion undoubtedly being against such course, and soundly so.
 "BuL on the other hand" he says, i've ought to stop talking about 'lIEkolding American rights in China first, because we haven't any left and, second, because the only way to win back former rights is by war. Being firmly against war, we must realize that, as Americans, we have fewer rights in Asia than the Japanese have on tho North American continent
 Taking up the territorial ques- tion, Marshall says that having been blasted out of China" the United States retains its few Oriental possessions, temporarily, by permission of the Japanese. He states that the Philippines could net be successfully defended and that Guam, Midway and Wake Islands, vital trans-Pacific airline bases, could be taken by Japan in 24 hours.
 Hawaii, however, he believes to be iinpregnable, and guarantee against American invasion by Asiatics, as no attacking fleet or army in transports would dare leave on it's flank or in it's rear the Hawaiian squadrons of the worlds fastest fighting planes.
 But today" Marshall says, and for as long as she is entangled in China, Japan's last wish is for war with America. Without the United States as great storehouse of cot ton, lumber, copper and oil Japan cannot operate an Oriental war. A war with us would wreck her within two months and she knows it. We must, for cash, furnish her the sinews not only for her Chinese conquests but for ironically enough blasting us completely out of China, morally and commercially

which does bedside nursing of any kind.
 The letter follows:
 Last fall, when the Visiting Nurse association appealed again in vain for funds from the city, for service properly chargeable to it, it was re- vealed that many people did not appreciate the fact that our asSo- ciation is the only health organi- zation in Waterbury that does home bedside nursing of any kind.
 In addition to this we conduct baby welfare stations, mothers classes, and maintain a nutritioniSt who teaches the importance of prop CT diet. However, our work is not yet complete, because we have not enough nurses and are obliged to neglect some of the opportunities for teaching families how to for mulate an acceptable plan for the protection of their own health.
 In 1927 we had 18 nurses 2 super visors, 1 director
 In 1887 we had 13 nurses, 1 super visor, l director.
 can assure you that all the money which we expend is for the development of a sound health pro- gram in Waterbury, Our able and devoted staff has shown encourag- ing results.
