CROWDING CONTINUES
IN MENTAL HOSPITALS

SACRAMENTO, Oct. 26. up
Dora Shaw Heffner, state director
CT institutions. said Thursday that
overcrowding in the seven state
mental hospitals continued to in
crease in September and that segre-
cation CT children from adult pa
tients at Camarillo state hospital
was becoming impossible.
Mrs. Hcffner reported to Cover
nor Earl Warren that 25.170 patients
now reside in the institutions, and
said that an additional 1000 to 1900
probably will have to be accommo-
dated in present buildings before
new accommodations can be pro-
vided by a postwar building pro-
gram.

Coastins Along

we didn't get very far, it is true"
said Klawans, but there is the
chance we have laid the ground
work for something that may prove
beneficial to all in the future
Klawans said overtures were made
at the session for a consolidation
of the American league and the Pa
cific Coast league Immediately, to
finish out the end of the season in
a grandioSe style.
However, one or two dissenterS
halted the proceedings and it now
appears likely that both loops will
attempt to struggle out to the end
cf their schedules. with a view to a
financially successful year in 1945.
The major fly in the ointment of
oDerations. il would appear, is the
fact that there are five tyeS, fiveD
professional teams operating in the
Los Angeles area and four (uh huh,
fourn in the San Francisco bay
region.
The result is that teams in these
cities. which should be the MAIN
stays of the league, have been draw
ing crowds of from 1000 to $4,000,
instead of $4,000 to 10000, which
would be necessary to make things
hum in big-league fashion.
OF the cities where the leagues
are competing against each other,
it would appear that the San Fran
cisco Shippers, of the American
league, boasting Kenny Washing
ton. have the inside track in San
Francisco: the San Diego Bombers,
featuring Steve Bagarus, are tops
fer the Pacific Coast league IN the
border city: and the high-Scoring
HOLLYWOOD Rangers hold the edge
for the American loop in the city OF
