modations Not Expected
To Be Enough

RALEIGH, July 26-UH-Though
the state plans eventually to house
5000 mental patients in the new
Camp Butner hospital, some in
sane persons will still be kept in
iails. the State Hospitals Board OF
control indicated today.
Camp Butner hampered by a
shortage of nurses, doctors and at
tendants, cannot Immediately
handle many more patients than
it now has, general superintendent
David yong said.
The board said Camp Butner in
the next three months would ad-
nit so or 80 patients now on he
emergency waiting lists Of the
Morganton and Raleigh hospitals.
Many on those lists are now held
in jails because the crowded hos
pitfalls cannot admit them.
DR.. Young said the Raleigh and
Morganton hospitals had non
emergency waiting lists Of about
so patients, and the number was
steadily increasing.
The board indicated that even
if it were able to clear out all in
sane persons now held in jails, 4
new crop would appear.

Upham said.
The ALSO, 900 commercial truck
drivers make up the second 1arg-
est occupational group, a recent
report from the Automobile Manu-,

are exceeded in number only by
farmers.
The INDUSTRY provides employ
