Vets Hospital Outlook

WASHINGTON, Aug. 19- (NEA) Within the past few weeks the War Department has made series of announcements on it's hospital situation which at face value does not make sense.
 First, it is announced the closing of Ashford General Hospital formerly the old Greenbrier Hotel at White Sulphur Springs, Wa. The Army paid than three million dollars for this 6000-acre resort and put another couple million dollars into improvements Now 1t is offered for sale surplus It is of three big hotels taken by the War Department for hospitals during the of three Army general hospitals, as of Sept. 3O They are located at Birmingham Mass, Gales burg, Ill., and Springfield, Mo.
 Finally it announced that the Corps of Engineers had let contracts for veterans hospitals, at cost of 38 million dollars They are to be located at Wilmington, Seattle Shreveport Omaha Wilkes Barre, Fresno, and Big Springs, Tex
 This seems to be kicking the taxpayers around something awful, and maybe it is. Why build new vet hospitals when the Army general hospitals are being closed and sold surplus? But the War De- partment answers add up to make definite policy which justfable and it's worth going into for a complete picture of the vet situation today
 Many of the wartime general hospitals of temporary construction. They not freproof They good as permanent hospitals These temporary hospitals being turned over to the War Assets Administration for disposal surplus property fast as they're vacated.
 The National Housing Agency is getting most of them. It moves them in sections for temporary hous ing wherever possible. Otherwise it knocks them down and tries to salvage the lumber.
 More-permanent wartime hospital facilities are being turned to state and local governments. Massachusetts took over the Army hospital at Camp Miles Standish valued at million dollars. The state

displays of mob violence which and all other citi- zenS condemn.
 As I have stated. every resource at my eom- mand head of your Department of Justice has been ordered into action discover the perpetrators of the horrible crimes which have been committed. The same vigilance shall continue in all cases"
 The departments efforts, he said, will not stop there"
 The time has come when Congress may have pass legislation to insure all citizens the guar antees under the Constitution.
 When Congress returns, shall file report pointing out the facts and outlining the experience in these and in addition, pointing the weak nesses Of the present Federal statutes n the light of these incidents and the legislation to pro- tect every citizen in his civil rights"
 This puts the Attorney General record and on the spot. He will be held accountable by the public for his department doing everything it can now and pushing legislation in Congress.
 Other figures in the Government also are on the spot. Hitherto, Southern members of Congress have tlbustered against measures to extend the authority of the Federal government into the for various purposes, among them, to punish ynchers.
 The campaign for Federal ant-lynchng bill has diminished in recent years because of the almost complete disappearance of mob violence But now it has appeared again, and in horrible forms.
 The record hardly De ignored nor can the for strengthening the civil liberties statutes which the Attorney General says he will present to the next Congress.
 citizen is a citizen, whether he be white or black and whether he lives in Georgia Mississippi or Louisiana Illinois New York South Dakota California, anywhere else It is about time to recognize that The Constitution makes no exception for localities.

child, or the child alone, are obliged to remain in the hospital beyond the weeks period, (and this quite often happens the hospital costs mount accordingly.
 Unfortunately there was no repre- sentation of this point of view on the Blue Cross board of directors. Nobody it seems was strong enough to prevent this laying of an extra burden on mothers.
 Indeed the side of the might-be patients, the subscribers in general, was neither asked nor heard by the directors when they decided to de- value the Plan.
 The Blue Cross directors are not the chosen representatives of the subscribers whose funds they handle Responsible only to themselves and to the insurance commissioner, they have seen no need of considering the wishes of the very people the Plan has been set up to help
 Last Saturday, after being smoked out by the protests of organized labor in New Haven and in Water bury, the officers of the Blue Cross caused to be printed a newspaper story in which they presented a comparison of the old" and new" Blue Cross.
 It was reply such as one would expect from a closed corporation when it chooses to answer public criticism. The officers attempted to minimize the damage done, to play 1t down, by saying that only few persons had protested. They were silent on the hardships that will be worked on the subscribers by the changes.
 They were especially silent on the issue of making the plan truly representative organization, in which the subscribers would have some say in the affairs of the management.
 Blue Cross was designed for the working people and their families It has served them well, but it has not been perfect nor utopian. It is inn portant that it be strengthened rather than weakened to best serve the working people.
 Yet these very people have no vote, nor voice, nor direct representation nor democratic control of their" Blue Cross. The directors can, there fore, destroy the very intent and purpose of the plan from within indeed the proposed changes when compared to present Plan represents a trend in this very direction.
 Important it is, therefore, that the State Legislators amend the insur- ance laws in order to overcome the present shortcomings of the Plans setup and provide subscribers with a means of f-protection, direct voice in the management, and ade- quate representation on board of di- rectorS.

Civil Liberties

WESTINGHOUSE is becoming obvious that the Federal statutes for the protection civil liberties must be revised and strengthened.
 This is clear from the recent lynching atrocities in the South that have shocked the nation. And from the infringement of free voting rights by corrupt political machines which once more has been called to national attention by the outbreak in McMinn County, Tennessee, and by the traditional perform ance of Boss Ed H. Crump'S Memphis organization.
 In outstanding cases local officials again have guaranteed 10 them punish those guilty of viola tions all of which is the first duty of government without regard to locality
 The Justice Department here has been deuged With pleas for action from people who look their government to protect them. Some of these pleas investigations, both into lynchings and into allega tions of voting frauds, unoer civil liberties statutes It has been criticized for lack of results
 To all this officials reply that the civil liberties statutes, though seemingly broad have been so mar rowed by court interpretations that it is difficult to operate effectively under them
 Attorney General Tom Clark himself has taken official notice of the demands and the criticism He says his department is doing everything it in the way of investigation and prosecution. At the same time he pointed to the tenuouS nature Of the civil liberties statutes and suggested the need of further legislation to strengthen them. He will report the departments experience in operating under them and the weaknesses discovered in them when Congress reconyenes.
 That represents some progress
 AS Attorney General, I have caused to be ln- VeStigated all which might imply violations of the civil liberties statutes, he said ir Ohio speech
 Federal action in most of these cases hangs upon very thin thread of law It is like trying to fight modern atomic with civil war mlsket. However, we have been unsuccessful in halting
