AS for the psychiatric units in
general hospitals, the survey found
Washington distinctly behind" the
standards set by progressive cities
of similar size throughout the coun-
try. This was cited as an example
of the failure of these hospitals to
keep abreast of the times. The sur
vey noted, however, that both

The survey found that the District

President Halls Role
OF Religious Freedom
by the Associoted Press

NEW YORK, May l8.-President
Truman said today that American
religious freedom has a vital con-
tribution to make to the unity of
world peoples"
The Presidents statement was
contained in message read bv
John Foster Dulles at a conference
OF the national Laymen's Commit
tee OF the Presbyterian Restoration
Fund, which seeks to raise $27,OOO,-
900 for the benefit of ministers and
missions in war-ravaged nations.
The Presidents message said in
part:
The atomic bomb destroyed self
ish nationalism and the last de-
tense OF isolationism more COM
pletely than it razed an enemy
city. 1t ended one age and began
another; the new and unpredictable
age OF the soul.
There must be fulfilled in that
age. II man is to survive, the proph-
esy OF the acts of the Apostles
God that made the world and all
thlngs therein hath made of
one blood all nations of men for
to dwell on all the face of the
earth

our American religious freedom has
vital contribution to make. What
We have here achieved among diff
lefent races, colors and faiths points

patients in question with the docu-
ments. after which the papers are
usually dropped on the bed or on the
floor as the case may be-
TO those of the unfortunate
recipients whose minds are not al
ready vacant or too disturbed for
comprehension, an opportunity is
now afforded to read from these
documents in proper legal form the
nature of the charges, who of their
relatives or friends made them, and
the decision of the court with re-
spect to the disposition of their
case"
Declaring that this situation was
loaded with irony" the survey
found that this final totally un-
necessary and inhumane act of the
law represents little less than the
climax of a tragic fallacy that today
Is offensive to both common sense
and common decency."
The best modern laws governing
admission to mental hospitals are
designed to give patients access to
these hospitals in the same way
they are admitted to general hos
pltals-without delay, without pref
udlce to their social or legal rights
as citizens. and with every possible
consideration for the feelings of the
patient and his family, the survey
pointed out.
Could Halve Present Expense.
Later in the survey, in advocating
a broader preventive mental hy-
giene program here, the experts
who made the survey declared that
only about half the money spent
here annually to support the "un-
necessary and obstructive legal ma
chlnery' for commitment to men
tai hospitals would be required to
operate a preventive mental hv-
glene program of demonstrable
value in the District.
At its first overall recommendation
the survey urged the Metropolitan
Health Council to appoint a strong
committee, representative of the
medical and legal professions and
of the public, to carry on a vigorous
campaign for abolition of the
archaic legal machinery" for COM
mltments and its replacement by
slmplif1ed admission laws to make
1t easier for mental patients to get
treatment.
The survey made these other
recommendations:
l. Prompt consideration should be
given to the reconstruction or re-
placement of antiquated buildings
at st. Elizabeth's Hospital. The
survey found some of the buildings
date from the 1906.
2. The psychiatric service at Gal
linger should be freed from its
present pre-occupation with purely
legalistic problems" and should de-
velop modern program of construc-
tive psychiatric treatment facilities.
Psychiatric Units Urged.
3. Efforts should be made to
stimulate the establishment of
properly equipped and stated psy-
chiatric units in all general hos
pitfalls of the District which have a
capacity of more than 100 beds.
4. The clinical staff of the Wash
lngton Institute of Mental Hygiene
should be enlarged and its salary
scales increased. The survey warned
that one of the most certain ways
of reducing this organization from

the country is to continue the pres

St. Elizabeth's IndOrsed.
The only thorough-going indorse-
ment in the survey went to st. Eliza
beth's Hospital. Declaring that the
hospital has played a significant role
in the progress of American psychia
try, the survey expressed the hope
that it will continue to provide a
type of example and stimulus greatly
needed by mental hospitals through
out the country.
With respect to other bed facilities
for the mentally i'll here, the survey
found that only one of the three
private mental hospitals is stated

treatment of acute cases, that the

Laws Held at Fault.
The survey quoted a 1888 report
which stated that the laws, policies
and procedures OF admission to Dis
trlct mental hospitals are seem
lngly devised to make it as difficult
as possible for a mentally ill per-
son to obtain treatment"
That report, written by DR.. Gro
yer A. kempf, blamed the "parsi-
monlous attitude to insure payment
OF costs of treatment before admis-
sion to public hospital and the
intolerance of the legal profession
TO any interference with its peroga
tive for the difficulties here.
lhe survey noted that mandatory
trial by jury has been abolished
since DR.. Kempf's report, but added
that this gesture toward modernity
stopped so far short of providing
substitute procedures adequate to
modern concepts of mental illness
that the above statement remains
fully applicable to the situation
that persists today"
OF the five possible procedures
Tor admittance to Gallinger's psy-
chiatric unit or St. Elizabeth's, the
survey contended, the four most
commonly used involve "conspicu-
Gus police and court participation"
while the flfth-voluntary admis-
sion to st. 'Elizabeth's-is prac-
tlcally never used
Reviewing the police machinery

tlent into Gallinger, the survey de-
clared that continued care is OBJ
tainable only upon legal commit
ment by District Court on the basis

mission on Mental Health.

The present functioning of the
Commission is marked by "an ad-
mirable degree of wisdom and COM
mon sense" the survey conceded,
but it objected to this persistent
exercise of court prerogative" as
legal fiction no longer compatible
WASA1 LAONC1A llllllhll1S.
Pointing out that the psychiatrists
who have studied the patient are
deliberately excluded" from the
commissions hearings, the survey
declared:
In progressive States and COM
munities, such proceedings have long
been considered as outmoded, time
consuming, costly, unreliable and
even dangerous at times to the best
interests of either the patient or the
public safety.
The operation of such a commits
sion in the District today constitutes
not only needless waste of munich
pal government funds, but real OBJ
stacle to the development of institu-
tional psychiatry of the desired
caliber at Gallinger Hospital"
Such procedures, the survey added,
constitute barrier to the recoghi-
ton by the public law of what men,
tai illness really is-not a legal but
medical problem to be handled pri-
marily by physicians.
Commitment Procedures Hit.

The survey found the two pri-
vately operated institutions were
also making worthwhile contribu-
tions to the specific problems to
which they are addressed" but
made this comment on the four
operated by the Board of Public
Welfare:

tions may even serve to increase

signed to solve"
Contending that mental hygiene
should enter into much OF the work
OF the criminal courts, the survey
declared that some progress had
been made-notably in the estab-
lishment of full-time psychiatric
service connected with the Juvenile
| Court.

Generally, however, the survey
declared that the law, lawyers

from the island republic for his
work in the advancement of Cuban

''You Cubans unfortunately have

boys and our boys to jump contract
obligations that they owe organized
baseball" he said at Tropical
stadium before an exhibition game
between Washington and the Bos-
ton Red Sox.
"This menace must and can be
done away. Your first step in doing
so is to prohibit any players who
are ineligible or who nave jumped
contracts with organized baseball
from playing baseball in your win
ter league. feel sure if this stand
is taken by the Cuban people that
il won't be long until the Mexican
outlaw league will 60 out Of exis-
tence."
Griffith expressed hope that Cuba
would continue baseball as its ma
tional sport. He said that the new
Havana team in the Florida Inter.
national league would establish a
foundation in organized bal lin this
country.
eff you people decide you want
to adopt the game as a national
sport it would become your duty to
set up regulations to forever keep
clean the playing of the game. You
unfortunately have a battle on
your hands," Griffith concluded.
