Barrett Seeks Means
For Hospital Tests
.0f Dazed Persons

Police Supt. Robert J. Barrett will
propose to the Commissioners to-
morrow that special hospital faclli-
ties be provided for examination of
apparently i'll or dazed persons be-
fore they are booked at precinct
stations.
A conference has been arranged
for 10 am. with DR.. George c..
Ruhland. District health officer, and
DR.. Alvin Sweeney, superintendent
OF Gallinger Hospital, in attendance.
Maj. Barrett did not mention
specifically the case of John For
rest Bunch. who died in Gallinger
Hospital, August 4, six days after his
arrest for drunkenness, or of Charles
Kermit Chapman, who died in first
precinct cell this morning, but said
he had been disturbed by several
such incidents recently.
Two Plans Proposed.
He hoped the Commissioner either
would arrange for small hospital
within the Police Department or
provide ward at Gallinger, the
superintendent said.
There have been too many cases
of arrests of apparently intoxicated
persons, who later become Ill and
sometimes die of something not
related to their drinking" Maj.
Barrett said
"'ThiS coIlld be ovnided if u,o Sopd
such dazed. unconscious or appar-
emily helpless people to the hospital
first and leave them there several
hours for observation. If they later
prove to be all right physically, they
then can be removed to a precinct
station and booked"
Maj. Barrett's interest in the plan
was emphasized by his willingness
to furnish guards for the ward, thus
from the departments
One of the superinten-
dents aims has been to put as many
officers as possible on active duty.
Other Cities Cited.
He said other cities. expressly New
York, have adopted the system with
good results.
Maj. Barrett expressed sympathy
for the fate of persons arrested for
drunkenness and Immediately jailed
because they have alcohol on their
breath. Many of these people are
not drunk at all, but require hos
pital attention, he said.
"Cometimes they have been lying
in the open for long time and
are suffering from exposure" he
he added. 1T is not fair to them and
it is not fair to the arresting officer
or the police department that they
Immediately go to jail"

What was the controversy over
the Washington Housing Association
as = member of the Washington
Community Chest?
The primary purpose of this
agency, added to Chest membership
in 1898, was to work for better
housing for low-income families,
whether by improving old slum- Like
dwellings or advocating new ones
to replace them.
AS time went on, real estate in
terests felt strongly the association.
in its zeal to find better low-cost
housing, allied itself openly with
public housing" Actually, it was
not for or against either public
or private housing.
Periodically, groups whose antag-
snism was strong, challenged the
Associations membership in the

presented duly to the Chests Board
Of Trustees, which makes the de-
