Head Of St. Elizabeth s
Says Truman Order
Cuts Hospital S Status

President Truman's order reor-
ganizing branches of the Govern
ment has taken military patients
away from st. Elizabeth's Hospital,
but prospects are that the institu-
ton may assume large role in the
forthcoming expansion of the Fed
eral Governments program to han
die psychiatric cases.
The Presidents order directed
the Army, Navy and Veterans Ad-
ministration to take care of their
own patients instead Of sending
them to st. Elizabeth's. It also
abolished the official Board Of Visit
ors, which has existed since estab-
lishment Of the institution in 1855.
The hospital was founded to take
care Of mentally i'll military pa
tients.
DR.. Winfred Overholser, superin-
tendent, expressed disappointment
over the Presidents order, saying he
feared it might temporarily reduce
the institution almost to the status
Of a city hospital for the insane.
Although the order gave "over-
crowding" Of st. Elizabeth's as one
OF the reasons for withdrawing mill
tary patients, DR.. Overholser said
that now it was not so overcrowded,
and had facilities for expansion of
bed capacity if personnel can be
obtained. It was heavily loaded
during the war, he said.
The more optimistic forecast for
the future of St Elizabeth's came
from a Federal Security Agency off,
cial, who pointed to the Govern
ment's increased interest in prob
lens Of the mentally-ill, and moves
already under way to enlarge the
Governments responsibility in this
direction.

WV Security Group
Opens Convention

The National Security Committee
of the Veterans of Foreign Wars,
opening two-day meeting at the
Hotel Statler today, prepared to
consider unif1cation of the armed
forces, universal training, control of
atomic energy and permanent over
seas bases.
Foster HALEY, member of the
Editorial Board of the New York
Times, speaking at luncheon meet
ing, warned: I'm today's world there
is respect only for the strong and
if we hope for peace we can achieve
our aspirations only by being able
always to protect ourselves and the
weak everywhere who look to us for
protection.
Security can be achieved only
If we continue to develop weapons
and train the men to use them"
Mr.. HALEY recalled that twice In
Is years we have had to arm in q
hurry to help restore peace after a
war not of our making" and said
that I'VE must not repeat our er-
rors." He agreed with Gen. George
c. Marshall that security rests on
three legs-a strong Army and Navy
which can be maintained only by
some method of selective service and
a unified department.; a trained re-
serve which can best be provided by
UNIVERSAL military training of young
men and continued research and de-
velopment of weapons.
"As men who have seen war" de-
clared Mr.. HALEY, veterans are the
most violent partisans of all in eff
forts to prevent future conflicts"
Mr.. Haley told the assembly that
"the WV could perform no better
service than convincing all Ameri-
cans of that"
At tonight's dinner, prominent
congressional, military and civilian
leaders will be guests.
