Hospital Board
Stresses Needs
AtGa||inger
Urges Congress
Be Made Aware
Of Deficiencies
By BAINBRIDGE CRIST.

The Board of Hospital Visitors to-
day urged the Commissioners to
bring forcibly to the attention Of
Congress the needs of Gallinger Mu-
nicipal Hospital for new buildings
and facilities and additional per-
sonnel to overcome criticism that
has been leveled at the institution.
Gallinger was described as one of
the greatest hospitals of its kind in
the country from the standpoint of
size, number of patients treated and
the good it accomplishes.
The main recommendations of
the board, headed by Renah F. Ca
mailer, were: To provide adequate
personnel at salaries sufficient to
attract competent employees, new
laundry facilities, immediate oper-
alton of the new kitchen, new labor
atory facilities a new pediatric
building, and renovation and en-
largement of the psychiatric and
tuberculosis wards.
preparation bill. did provide funds
for new laboratory and pediatric
buildings.
Report Covers Other Places.
The report covered Glenn Dale
Sanatorium and the Upshur Street
Hospital as we'll as Gallinger. The
board praised the work of the "un-
derstaffed" institutions and pleaded
throughout the report for more per-
sonnel at the municipal hospitals.
At Gallinger, the report said, the
nurses were performing a task un-
equalled in any other hospital. 1t
said while under normal conditions
Gallinger might be criticized, the
shortage OF personnel and facili-
ties accounted for present deficien-
cies.
The board said the isolation ward
was gloomy and generally depress-
ing, and in practically every ward
the clothing of patients was hang
ing on hooks, nails or clothes trees,
because of the lack of closets. They
also reported lack of adequate IA
cilities in the rheumatic fever ward
and crippled children's building.
Mixing Patients Deplored.
The report deplored certain in
stances where children were being
treated in the same wards with
adults. some of whom were senile
or had traces of insanity.
AS for Upshur Street Hospital,
the board urged that the Commits
sioners make this a rehabilitation
center for tuberculosis patients and
that eventually there should oe a
modern building for such a center.
Concerning Glenn Dale the board
urged that the Commissioners seek
new beds for the patients and
claimed that the mattresses are
too short.
The board found the inadequate"
personnel was doing the best it
could and the buildings need thor
ough renovation. 1t was pointed
out the buildings have not been
repaired or renovated for eight
years, and that when conditions
permit equipment and furnishings
should be replaced throughout the
hospital.
A separate storage building, to
cost between 100000 and 100000,
was recommended at Glenn Dale in
order to provide more adequate
storage of food and other goods.

Justice and Christianity
'"This courageous editor-senator
lost his fight in the senate last
week; his argument was as--shouted
down by a voice vote adopting the
proposal. But the defeat was tenn
porary.
ut was temporary because a
man like McGinty can't always be
shouted down on this issue. He is
no wild-eyed Yankee reformer tell
ing Georgians what to do; he is
himself a Georgian, living his life
and doing his work among us, and
he can't be dismissed contemptu-
ously as 'nigger-lover.' He is past
president of the Georgia Press as
sociation by which he was award
ed a trophy for the editorial quot
ed from above as the most coura-
geous editorial of the year. And
he knows the true meaning of
American democracy because his
son died for it in this war.
Besides, McGinty is funda-
mentally and eternally right on
this question. We can't continue in
Georgia to sound the praises of
democracy in sonorous phrases
and at the same time cynically
deny civil and political rights to a
third Of our population. A major
ity of the people Of this state now
know that McGinty is right and in
a year or two the politicians also
will wake up and find it out.
"The Macon News salutes Roy
McGinty for the keenness of his in
telligence, the forwardness of his
vision and the steadfastness of his
courage. More power to him, ano
more of his kind and stature, are
the best wishes that any Georgian
can have for Georgia"

Said the News: 'Last week the
lone figure of a man stood in the
Georgia senate and fought good
fight that he knew from the be-
ginning was hopeless.
"The knowledge that he was de-
feated before he began to fight did
not deter him, because he knew
he was right and because he pos
sessed to the utmost the courage
of his convictions.
"The man was State Sen. J. Roy
McGinty of Calhoun, Gordon coun-
ty, Georgia, owner and editor of
the Calhoun Times, one of the best
weekly newspapers in Georgia.
'"The fight was on a proposal
to eliminate from the state consti-
tuition all reference to primary
elections so that the decision of the
supreme court of the United States
in the Texas primary case will not
apply to this state and Negroes
can still be debarred from partici-
patton in Georgia primaries.
"Mr. McGinty's vain but coura-
geous fight against this prejudice
inspired proposal was no sudden
flareup. He is recognized as lib
eral in all his thinking on public
questions; was one of the authors
I'of the recent poll tax repeal bill.
And his stand on the primary
measure arose out of a considered
conviction of right and wrong.
"Last summer, when he was
running for the senate and knew
it would cost him votes, he pub
lished an editorial in his papers
urging that Negroes ought to be
allowed to vote in Georgia pri-
maries, in which he stated the
faith that was in him in these
noble words:
In my opinion it is neither
justice nor democracy to require
of the Negro all the obligations of
citizenship and deny him the
rights of citizenship. Let us try
