Proposal 10 Exclude
Service Patients at
ST. Elizabeth S Hit

The phase of President Truman's
reorganization plan which would
bar military patients from ST. Eliza
beth's Hospital was attacked today
by the American Psychiatric Asso-
citation at a hearing before the
House Committee on Expenditures
of the Executive Departments.
DR.. Ross Chapman, a past presi-
dent, said the association Is deeply
disturbed" at the thought of discon-
tinuance of the hospital as teach
ing center.
He said the need for the institu-
ton exists more than ever "at this
time when the medical schools and
accredited teaching hospitals of the
country are struggling to meet the
demands of hundreds of physicians
in this medical field"
These applicants are in the main
recent medical officers of our armed
forces" he declared.
1T seems apparent that the pro-
posed reorganization of this fine
teaching hospital would bring a GER
tain generalization and reduction
of effectiveness when it's services
are desperately needed"
Through its accomplishments In
clinical medicine and research, land
its present splendid qualifications. "
DR.. Chapman said the hospital has
become IAN institution of national
significance"
DR.. Chapman said the association
feels that the proposed reorganiza-
ton can not have had the attention
and study of qualified physicians.
We have no evidence of medical
participation in the preparation of
either reorganization plans No. 2
or g."
Army patients were withdrawn
from ST. Elizabeth's at the begin
ming of the war, but increased num-
bers of Navy personnel have been
under treatment at the hospital
Large numbers of Navy medical
officers were trained at the institu-
ton for duty during the war as
psychiatrists.
DR.. Cloyd Heck Marvin, president
of George Washington University.
said earlier today that the reorgani-
cation would be "a step backward"
1T would virtually make ST Eliz-
abeths a District institution, and
reduce it to the level of not the
strongest type of State institution, -
he said
He added that he knew the hos
pital is equipped to do the job"
The reorganization would elm
mate the possibility of working over
the hospital from the standpoint of
"a Federal institution of great pow
er, and one that could give fine
leadership" Dr. Marvin said.

Many Hurt In Rail Wreck

WAUBAY, s. D. CP-A fast freight overshot a siding and rammed into the Milwaukee Rail roads Olympian last night, iniur- ing 61 of its. 450 Christmas hoIi- day travellers. Twenty were hos pitalized.
 The head-on collision occurred a mile east of Waubay, where the passenger train, eastbound for Chicago from Tacoma, Wash, had come to a virtual stop while wait ing for a clear track. The freight was scheduled to enter siding at that point but failed and rLrnbled on down the main line.
 Both locomotives were derailed. A baggage car and four freight cars were overturned. The baggage car was crumpled and Dr. Paris Pfister,. of Webster, S. D., said the fact that it absorbed most of the shock probably averted more seri- ous casualties among the Olym- pian's passengers.
 pr. PfiSter with two other phy- sicianS who answered calls for doctors and ambulanceS treated 50 passengers at the scene. Many were soldiers enroute home on Christ mas furlough from army posts in Washington. Injuries consisted of sprainS, cuts and bruises. Nine of the 20 requiring hospital treatment were members of the dining car crew. Some were cut by flying glass and china. Several others were burned when the impact threw them against stoves.
