REVIVAL Of FIGHT
OVER GLENN DALE
USE IS INDICATED
Agitation on Number of Beds
Vacant There Is Seen
Stirring Dispute.
RUTLAND TO DISCUSS
PUTTING ADULTS THERE
Placing of Grown Persons in
Sanatorium Barred Last Fall
After Battle.

Revival of the controversy over the
proposal of Health Officer George C.
Rutland for the disqualification of
adults in the children's building at
the tuberculosis Sanatorium at
Glenn Dale. Md, was indicated to-
day at the District Building as a re-
suit of agitation over the number of
vacant beds at the institution.
DR.. Rutland said he would confer
losis Advisory Committee, headed by
Dr. William Charles White, on the
general situation of tuberculosis treat
ment and said he would bring up the
question of placement of additional
adults at the Glenn Dale Sanatorium
Last fall the Commissioners direct
ed the health officer not to place
adults in the children's building un-
less a situation arose which would
warrant such plan. This rule was
adopted after public agitation arose
over the shifting of group of adults
to the children's building.
Officials Criticized.
Complaint over the empty beds at
the children's building at Glenn Dale
and at the Health School. near Thir-
teenth and Upshur streets NV. was
voiced Monday by Mrs. Ernest R.
Grant, managing director Of the Dis
trict tuberculosis Association. She
suggested that health and school off,
cials were not effective enough in
case-f1nding work among children and
that all available beds would be filled
If this were done.
Dr. Rutland today "emphatically
denied that the Health Department
had been neglecting the situation as ii
affected children, but he insisted again
that it was not necessary to send to
the sanatorium all children loosely
classed as tubercular. He has indi-
Gated many times that he believes it
is more important to hospitalize adults
with active cases of tuberculosis who
may spread the disease among many
with whom they come into contact.
DR.. Rutland suggests it might be
well to amend the law dealing with
the placing of children at the Health
School, because, he argued, children
placed there now are definitely labeled
as tubercular and that this builds up
objections by parents to having their
children sent to the school.
Objection to School.
DR.. Ruhland said that Clinical
cases of childhood tuberculosis should
be placed at the sanatorium and not
the Health School He said the lat
ter institution should be for children
who show tuberculine reactions, but
may not have active symptoms of the
disease and for those having back
ground association with persons having
active cases of tuberculosis.
The health officer was advised by
DR.. Joseph A. Murphy, school medical
inspector, that not more than one
quarter of the children recommended
for placement in the school are allowed
by their parents to be assigned there on
the ground they would be labeled "tu-
bercular"

W.P. A. REPAIRS
HELP GAL[|NGER
Shifts of Patients to Ease
0verCroWding Permitted
by Renovations.

Child and convalescent adult pa
tients at Gallinger Hospital were be-
ing shifted today in buildings reno.
waited by w. P A. labor in what was
described as "makeshift" attempt tc
relieve overcrowding in the adult
wards and provide safe housing for the
children.
The shifts involve moving child pa
tients from 90-year-old building tc
ward on the second floor of the
psychopathic administration building
formerly occupied by convalescent ma
ternity patients, transfer Of male con.
valescents to the present children's
ward and utilization of the present
male annex as an eye, ear, nose ano
throat department.
Development of a home delivery
service by the Health Department has
decreased the number of hospital ma
ternity cases sufficiently to make room
for all of them in the obStetrical
ward of the main medical building,
DR.. Edgar A. Bocock, Gallinger super
intendent, explained.
Doubles Room.
This makes the quarters on the Sec
ond floor of the psychopathic admin
istration building-entirely separate
from the buildings housing psyche
pathic patients-Where maternity
cases had been housed for their last
week in the hospital, available for
use as a childrens ward.
The shift will provide more than
twice as much room for male con-
valescent patients as heretofore and
serve as an alternative for proposed
reopening of the old Upshur Street
tuberculosis Hospital for this purpose,
DR.. Bocock said. It was planned after
Congress turned down the original
Health Department proposal and the
United States Public Health Service
urged resumption of use of the Up
shur street building for tuberculosis
patients.
Approximately so W. P. A. painters,
carpenters and mechanics are at work
on the alterations necessary to carry
out the housing shift program, DR..
Bocock said. He estimated their work
should be completed and the transfer
of patients carried out within month.
Much of recent criticism Of con-
ditions at Gallinger was directed at
the building being used for children.
Its antiquated construction made the
fire hazard particularly dangerous for
them. The building into which the
children are being transferred is COM
paratively modern and fireproof.
Child Quarters Cut.
There will be room for only about so
child patients in the new quarters, as
compared to $50 in the old building
Opening Of the new eye. ear. nose and
throat annex will take care of the diff
ferential since many of the child patti
ents require this type of attention, DR..
Bocock explained.
Most Of the equipment necessary to
ut out the reconditioned wards already
is available, DR.. Bocock said.
He emphasized that the population
shifts under way were undertaken only
as temporary, partial solution" te
the problems of overcrowding and in
adequate facilities at Gallinger, in an
effort to make the best possible use OF
present facilities pending construction
OF new buildings, as recommended by
the United States Public Health Serv.
