Suspended Sentence
To Free Jailed Veteran
For VA Mental Care
By George Beveridqe

A World War II veteran serving a
term in the Alexander jail was to re-
ceive a suspended sentence this
afternoon, so he can undergo treat
ment for mental illness at Veter-
ans Administrator hospital.
VA officials, it was learned, asked
the court last Friday to release
the man, identified as an Alexan-
dria resident who lost a leg during
the war, so he could be treated at
the veterans neuropsychiatric hos
pital at Perry Point, Md. But he
had to be kept in jail until bed
could be found for him at the over
crowded hospital, the agency said.
The incident came to light yester-
day, when John L. Golob, national
commander of the Disabled Ameri-
can Veterans, told reporters at a
news conference that a mentally i'll
veteran is being held in a prison
near Washington" because VA
could not find a bed for him.
Similar Cases Reported.
Mr.. Golob, who would not name
the veteran or the prison, had COM
mented that wholly inadequate"
numbers of beds in veterans hos
pitfalls in certain localities are Fore
ing detention of a number of men,
tally sick veterans in jails until beds
can be found for them.
DR.. Robert H. Lowry, chief medi-
cal officer. at the VA Washington
regional office, refused to identify
the case here or name the Jail where
the man is being held. officials
said laws forbid them to name in
dividuals in such cases as a pro-
lection of veterans personal rights.
A spokesman for DR.. Lowry, how
ever, said "a judge in the court
where the veteran is being held
has agreed to suspend the mans
sentence, if he is hospitalized.
A check of nearby courts revealed
the veteran was sentenced by Judge
Marion D. West of the Alexandria
Juvenile and Domestic Relations
Court. He was arrested October 30,
police said, and charged with assault
and disorderly conduct.
Formerly Before Court.
Judge West, who identified the
man as an amputee, said he had
agreed to suspend the veterans
sentence at a hearing this afternoon.
The VA will transport him immedi-
ately to Perry Point, he said. This
was confirmed by VA.
The judge said the same veteran
was before his court on similar
charges several months ago. No
sentence was imposed, he said, on
an understanding with VA that the
veteran would be kept under med
ical care until he is adjudged cured
by doctors.
VA refused to comment on the
previous incident, but pointed out
the agency does not have power to
keep any mentally i'll patients under
treatment without their consent, I'M
less the patients are committed
legally to institutions.
DR.. Lowry said cases of mentally
sick patients being restrained in
Jail until hospital beds could be
found have happened here before,
but mot for longer than a night
or a day."
The agency, he said, has been
barred from sending veterans to St.
Elizabeths-only hospital in the city
that accepted such cases in the past.
Off1cials said Mount Alto Veterans
Hospital here started work last year
on an 18-bed locked ward for mental
patients, but that it has not yet been
6niched

PRESIDENT WESLEY SPEAKS

Emphasized by Educator
DR.. Charles H. Wesley president
of the Wherefore College of Ed

the graduating class of seventy
five at the Bowling Green state
university commencement exer-
cises, Bowling Green, Ohio, that
new frontiers are not g~eographi-
cal, but industrial, mechanical,
and scientific. Industrialization
was made more complex by the
approach of an atomic age" the
speaker said. DR.. Frank j. Prout,
Bowling Green state university,
president, introduced DR.. Wesley
who spoke on the subject New
Frontiers in Modern Life
External chanes in life, Dr.. Wes-
ley continued, have affected the
internal life of man by expanding
his intelligence, his concepts of
freedom, ad the need for the i'm
provement of human relations.
The qualities needed today for the
crossing of these new frontiers,
Wesley claimed, were similar to
those which were used by the
frontiers, of Americas past. These
qualities were the affirmative
mind, a continually adequate pre-
paration and the pioneer spirit.
This leadership, the Wherefore
ducator declared, would largely
dtermine whether atomic energy
would be used for good or evil
and whether the scientific age
would make it possible for
peoples to live together in peace
and brotherhood, or in war and
hatred.

North Bethesda Pool
Expected in 1948

The North Bethesda Recreation
Center (Ayrlawn Farms probably
will be chosen as one of six sites for
outdoor swimming pools to be built
by the Maryland National Capital
Park and Planning Commission dur
ing 1948, Park Commissioner e.
Brooke Lee has told Mrs. David
H. Stowe, chairman of the Citizens
Committee for the center.
Mr.. Lee said it was his feeling that
such swimming pools should be
built as outdoor pools for warm
weather only. The comparative low
construction cost was cited as the
main reason.
"The need of the people in this
climate seems to be for swimming as
a sport for relief from hot weather
during the summer months" he
added.
The Citizens Committee had sug-
gested changes in the location of a
number of tennis courts. Since no
tennis courts are scheduled for con-
struction until 1948, the commission
will have ample time to study the
committees suggestions, Mr.. Lee
said.
He assured the committee that the

seating capacity, heating and struc-
tural support.

WARSAW, Aug. 1.-THE Poles

American slogan Germany must
be saved from chaos"
"Why?"
Poles are. warmhearted, busy peo-
pie who are making perhaps the
most energetic effort to recover in
Europe, next to Italy. But, when
you start talking to Pole about
hunger in the Ruhr, or tuberculosis
in Berlin, you suddenly get the
feeling that you have lost your
audience.
The Pole doesn't get worked up
like the Czech or the Frenchman,
seeing rival industrial plant being
built up with dollars. But pecu-
liar, vague expression comes over
his face.
He Just Doesn't Care.
You finally grasp that this blank
expression simply means he does not
care. If the entire German nation
were to slip into the bowels Of the
earth, the Pole would be calmly and
heartily glad.
For some time, American spokes-
