OVERCROWDING PSYCHIATKIC STATE HOSPITALS DUE TO
 TOO MANY COMMITMENTS
Everett, Mass, June ', 1945.

Editor, Waterbury Democrat
 Recently George E. Beyerl of New town published short contrib pleading for a better system of classification in our State HoSpi-
 tals. The sore spot, the disgrace of our public psychiatric hospitals, has been the ease with which all types of queer behavior have been dumped in together with little or no effort made to properly segre- gate the different types. Some hos pitals have made an effort to do something but because of the crim- inal overcrowding of these places little has been accomplished.
 Let us read the words of Dr. For rest c. Tyson, superintendent of Maine State hospital, who hits the nail square upon it's head when he points out that with proper atten- tion to commitments all this over crowding would be unnecessary each State has sufficient hospital capacity for the ACTUALLY PSY- CHOTIC patient. THERE ARE LOTS OF PATIENTS IN STATE HOSPITALS IN ALL SAFES THAT SHOULD BE CARED FOR OUT SIDE My contention is that the State should pass in judgment Oil these cases before they are committed. This would elim- mate overcroWding of our inStitu-
 tions with cases that were or iginally not included as possible in- mates
 In Dr. Tyson's strong words We have the root of the whole trouble with the preesnt disgusting system Of overcrowding. Many of these commitments are unnecessary and these harmless eccentrics and neg lected old folks wanted out of the way by designing relatives would be cared for in their own communi- ties with the communities none the worse off because of their presence. Some pSychiatristS seem to have mania for shutting everybody up and keeping them shut up as long as possible. The only State hos pital head in the country who ever made sincere attempt to empty his institution of patients was Dr. Harold Francis Norton, recently de- posed by a certain clique of psy- chiatrists as head of Boston State

sired to see anyone who would speak to her of what was to come. That would be but a waste of time,' she replied, I have always been ready. Let us praise God to- gether for what has been. He has been very good to me in giving me my work, my friends. and my faith. At the end of the day I go gladly to Him for rest and shelter She went away as though but starting upon a journey which, beginning in darkness, would proceed through light. She would hold my hand, she said, till those who had gone before gave her greetings
 There is a great difference in the way people face death. Some die in cringing fear. But there are others who can face the approach of death with quiet joy. At the end of the day. they ''go gladly to Him for rest and shelter
 And they who take such an atti- tude do not do so because they possess placid natures, but because

than it's allocation when food is scarce.
 The new plan being worked on by WFA may mean a little more sugar in the home-and will also mean the saving of numerous small businesses which depend upon sugar. Although OPA has talked of cutting industrial sugar users to 45 or 50 per cent of their normal consumption, it has sec retly been afraid it would have to cut them to only 35 per cent. However, the new War Food plan will mean 50 per cent or better for industrial sugar users.

There will always be new contracts to negotiate and sign, new griev- ances and some strikes to settle, some difficult labor leader like the heads of the Machinists' Local Union No. 68, who have caused the Navy to take over and operate 101 manufacturing plants in this area.
 But it is claimed that member ship raiding and the Harry Bridges type of CIO vs A. F. of L., warfare, which had this port in constant turmoil from 1884 to 1889, has de- f1nitely been ended. The annual report of the Employers Council, just made public, showed only 12 strikes in San Francisco in 1914 and eight in 1943, as against 75 in 1941, 64 in 1940 and 59 in 1899 - drop of over 80 per cent, while the na- tional figures were rising 100 per cent from 2,500 in 1940 to 5000 in 1914.
 PLAN CONCEIVED BY
 ROGER LATHAM
 If any one thing can be given credit for this improved labor rela- tions picture in San Francisco, it is this practice of collective bargain ing for employers through the En- ployers' Council. The plan was or iginally conceived by Roger Lap ham, chairman of the American Hawaiian Steamship Company, now mayor of San Francisco. Before the Council took over in 1889 as suc- cessor to a despised and mistrusted Industrial Association, the practice of the union business agents was to Whipsaw employers into wage in creases. First they would make de- mandS on one group. say the whole sale grocers. When they had signed new contract, it would be used as a precedent for similar demands on wholesale druggists. Then dry goods wholesalers, steel warehouses, ship operators and so on till it was time to begin again with the grocers.
 To end this vicious circle, the en- ployers simply decided to sWipe a leaf from the union book and do little collective bargaining of their own. Through the now famous 'WoolWorth hot car" incident in 1887, which was loaded by a super intendent and a foreman and moved from warehouse to warehouse to force strike and showdown, the San Francisco district Wholesalers Association was able to negotiate a master contract covering 40OO en- ployes of 182 firms WlipsaWing came to an end
 In over-simplified form. this is the formula the Employers Council has used in collective bargaining for master contracts. Bridges water front war was ended when the A. F. of L. Teamsters' Union trucked workers through CIO picket lines Then the teamsters' stranglehold on farm-market trucking was broken by collective action with the farm CTS
 COPIED IN OTHER CITIES
 The San Francisco plan has also been copied in such cities as Denver, Salt Lake City, Kansas City, but it Is not claimed to be the perfect so- lution for all labor troubles It might not work so well in one-in- dustry centers like Detroit, or in towns which have predominantly manufacturing San Francisco is a distribution center and the En- ployers' Council idea was planned to meet conditions peculiar to this locality. Once established and proved, it has met the acceptance Of union leaders because it works towards the organized labor objec- tive of collective bargaining for wider agreements in master con- tracts.

Selected Poem
AMERICAN VISIONS (Harry Kemp in The New York Times)

He said I ought to see America: Her spaces where the Early Wonder reigns; Her mountains forests, fields; her rivers. plains; Conceive Her. the pioneers first saw What slept in Her-with the same star touched
 awe!
 Yet did their thoughts forsee what cities grew To giants, stridng up from sky to sky? Her ways of shining speed whose blurred wheels fly? Later, the laundering notes that specked the Blue When Her intrepid sons took wings, and flew? Her Voices in moment spanning space? Or all the future glories of Her Race? Who can forsee the evokementS of the rod Of magc-yet-to-be, or foreknow God?

San Francisco, June - Five years of collective action by en- ployers to meet the challenge of col lective bargaining by labor unions have proved so successful in the San Francisco area that today Herbert G. Storie, vice president and ex- ecutive director of the San Fran cisco Employees Council, says it doesn't make any difference whe-

To bring food rations more in line with purchasing power of housewives, hotel, and restaurant rations are to be cut dur ing July and August, it is stated. The OPA plans to report on this shortly. Looks like the already depleted plats du jour will be still more depleted and whatever cut you get for the main course it will be a bit thinner which some will opine is still bolony.

during which the latter opened up on Truman's appointment of Judge Lewis Schwellenbach as Secretary of Labor.
 I'm worried about that, Mir. President" Thomas said. T understand Schwellenbach is Dave Beck's man." Beck is head of the Teamsters Union in Seattle and a powerful AFL leader.)
 Don't you worry about SchwellenbachS representing anybody but me-" shot back the President. Anyone who's in my Cabinet speaks for me. If he doesn't, he'll got out on his ear"
 We'll" replied Thomas. q just wanted to make sure that the A. F. of L. isn't running the country"
 No one, from either the A. F. of L. or the CIO or the Ma tional Association of Manufac- turers - or even the Auto Work CTS Union - is going to tell me how to run the country" was Truman's quick rejOinder. RECONVERSION MESS
 Thomas then made an impas- stoned appeal to the President for swift action on the reconversion front. He pointed out that tens of thousands of auto and air craft workers are being fired daily.
 My boys aren't going to stand for much of that. MT. Presi- dent" said Thomas. They're going to blame you and the Ad- ministration unless something's done in hurry"
 'I realize that" Truman re- piled. But you've got to re- member that no man ever came to the White House at more unfortunate time than I did. I've got a million things to do and I'm trying to get to them just as fast as I can."
 Finally Truman asked Thomas to write him a detailed recom- mendation for reconversion.
 "Will you read it if I send it in." Thomas asked, Cor will it just go to some clerk?"
 The President promised to look it over carefully himself.
 Just as Thomas was about to leave the Presidents office, he turned to Truman and said:-
 I'm no Communist, MT. Presi- dent, but don't like the mess Stettinius has got us into. ROOse- welt always was able to keep a good balance between Russia, Britain and ourselves. But now this bird has got us into the position where we're a kite on the tail of the British lion."
 You can't blame Stettinius for that" replied Truman. "The situation after the Presidents death was so confused that we had to get strengthened out in a hurry. I don't like it any more than you do. There wasn't enough preparation for the Con- ference. But you and your boys can be sure l am going to get it strengthened Out.'
 WALLACE SWINGS RIGHT
 Big business representatives, once worried over Henry Wallace, are smiling broadly about his new Committee to Study Patents. They have managed to put one of the ablest defenders of the old patent system in the position of writing the vitally important patent re- port for Wallace.
 He is Houston Kenyon, attorney for Standard Oil of New Jersey, which withheld synthetic rubber patents from the American public before the war, and which is now engaged in a lawsuit with the U. s. Government to recover 1000 alleged Nazi patents seized from Standard by the Alien Property Custodian.
 The special committee was set up by Secretary Wallace at the suggestion of President Truman, who strongly criticized monopolis- tic patents and the misuse" of they possess within their hearts the deep certainties of religious faith.
