State Hospitals Make Definite Gains
In Treatment Of8, 500 Feeble Minded

pital section of Camp Sutton for
use of certain older chronic pa.
tients, in order to relieve the Sc
we're overcrowding in the other
hospitals and also to permit the
admission Of new cases. Groups
of patients were admitted at Camp
Sutton from October IS on until
the present total is 200.
At the present time, htere isa
great need for more space, particu.
larly to take care of more feeble.
minded children, as the waiting list
at Caswell Training school is lar
ger than at the state hospitals.
Although there. has been consid-
cradle difficulty in getting more
doctors for the state hospitals, other
personnel have been appointed.
Social service work was begun the
preceding year and, with some
changes in personnel, has continued
at the state hospital in Raleigh. A
social service worker was appoint
ed at Morganton and efforts are
being made to secure one for the
hospital at Goldsboro. This will
improve the relationship with fami'
lies of patients, will give better
case histories and follow-up or
patients sent home. Occupational
therapists have recently been ap-
pointed at Morganton and Rale; gh
and a recreational therapist has
been appointed at Caswell. A elm.
ieal psychologist has also been ap-
pointed to the staff at Raleigh, with
the plan that he will do some work
in the other two hoSpitals.

OF observation before a person is
finally committed. The distribu.
ton Of the members of the board
of control was also changed, lead
ing to the appointment of a new
board. Some of the former mem
bers were reappointed on the pres
ent board. In addition, a medical
advisory committee was appointed,
including pr m n EN- doctors
throughout the state. The new
board of control assumed authority
in April of this year.
During the first part of the year,
the superintendent of the state hos.
p!tals at Raleigh and Morganton
resigned and acting superintend-
ent DR.. R. G. Blackwelder was ap-
pointed at Raleigh, and DR.. L. G.
Beall at Morganton. They, despite
limited personnel, have taken
charge and done good job. The
shortage of doctors has been Sc
we're and it has been impossible to
add to the staff of doctors of the
state hospitals, as few psychia-
trists have yet been released by
the armed forces.
Since the creation of a unified
board of control in 1943, the po-
sition of general superintendent of
mental hygiene had been vacant.
The present board, acting upon
names recommended by the medi-
cal advisory committee, selected
in June general superintendent,
and in August the writer returned
in that capacity to his native state.
One of the most important
events Of the year was the lease,
from the Army, of the station hos

The 1915 General Assembly pro-

these have been greatly offset by
increased expenses, this action i'm.

DEGAS, by Camille Nauclair,
adapted by Lillian Day; ROU-

published by Hyperion Press,
distributed by Duel, Sloan &
Pearce; each $3).
Consisting of about 40 pages
of reproductions. some eight or II
of them in color. and short, au'
thoritative text, these books appear
handily just in time for last-min'
ute gifts.
But they're more than handsome
volumes for a library table. The
subjects are two important paint
ers and one sculptor, Degas and
Rouault representative of a new
creative era and Rodin of an old
one. The texts, though sharply
condensed, describe the place OF
each man in the art of our time
and the reproductions, which are
identified as to title, medium, size
and provenance, are an aid to the
student and a delight to the art
lover.
Jewell clearly faced the most
difficult task in writing about
Rouault still alive and in his
middle 70's. Degas and Rodin have
won general acceptance. In the
nearly three decades since they
died, they have fallen neatly into
a fixed position in art histories.
The painters laundresses, dancers,
nudes and racetrack scenes,
though sometimes brutally frank,
are recognized as an aspect Of
beauty, and the painter himself
has become something of the same
tart legendary figure as Whistler.
Tue sculptor, so utterly lifelike
that he never perturbed the lay
public as French modernists have
done, is beginning in fact to lose

Mr.. Reuther's Proposal

In the current issue OF Common Sense, Victor
G. Reuther proposes that labor form politi-
cal party to work for replacement of private
ownership of monopolistic INDUSTRIES by
forms of social ownership" He doesn't say
1t that simply. But after building up fine
pseudo-Marxian bonfire, that proposal, neither
new nor Startling, is all that remains in the
ennbers.
The writer is brother of Walter Reuther,
vice president of the UAW-CIO, and is himself
IN officer of that union. We do not know how
authoritstively he speaks for his union or labor
generally. But, in any case, he may have to
arm himself with dictionary and some ref
erence sources before pursuing his battle with
the status quo much farther.
Mr.. Reuther begins by saying, in almost so
many words, that American labor won the
war, nalitarily as well as industrially. Some
one will probably challenge that statement,
30 we will 60 on to his reference, in dispars G.
ing quotation marks, to ''normalcy,'' ''free
enterprise and ''the American way as enc.
mics of the Four Freedoms, and his irnplica.
ton that they contain the roots of fascism.
If Mr.. Reuther has dipped even super
hcially into the history of fascism, he must
know that it is not business-controlled state
but a state control of business and every.
thing else. And he must know that free enter.
prise doesn't thrive any better in fascist soil
than free labor.
The author says that 'the profit-takins
power of monopolistic free enterprise is the
bottleneck preventing full production and full
employment His sole proof for that statement
is to quote the lump wartime increase il
profits Of 1000 industrial corporations-before
taxes!
Mr. Reuther should know that even hi
dullest readers might suspect that argumen
