OF manacling patients has been
allowed to grow.
The elevator story is sympto-
matte of the whole situation in
the psychopathic division. The
elevators were installed when
the buildings were built. BY the
time they were nearly ready to
operate, the current was changed
and the elevators servicing the
psychopathic wards couldn't run.
Years passed. Finally money was
provided for the current change
but by that time the equipment
had deteriorated. There wasn't
enough money to- do the job SO
nothing was done. Nurses and
attendants continue to haul pa
tients, food and linens up three
flights of stairs and the sealed
elevators continue to occupy an
impressive amount of space. Un-
til yesterday, District officials
handling Gallinger's budget
weren't even aware the elevators
did not run.
For years, stating the division
has been a major problem.
Congress has approved funds
for the past two years to provide
two resident physicians and two
more psychiatrists. No doctors
will take the jobs. They don't
want to work under such condi-
tions. The vacancies remain un-
filled. Even DR.. Rutland, District
health officer, admits he would
not want to work there.
The medical schools have re-
fused in the past to send their
consultants and medical students
into the division. They have
said the procedures were made
quate for teaching purposes, the
practices too bad for their stu
dents to see. If they had taken
hand, as they have elsewhere
in the hospital, the patients
would get more adequate treat
ment.
Administration Held Poor.
More than one doctor familiar
with the tragic facts of CALM
gers psychopathic division feel
that one of the basic troubles is
poor administration by a man
who has had to devote at least
third of his time to court appear
ances.
:; They admire DR.. Gilbert for his
professional ability as a psychi-
ARTIST and concede he has devoted
long hours and endless loyalty
to a thankleSs job.
They are inclined to believe,
however, that all this may have
led him to assume too much re-
sponsibility for details instead Of
counting on teamwork.
The lack of money, the COM
munity's lack of interest, the re-
cent rapid increase in the num-
ber of patients, the necessity to
resort to makeshifts all have
harassed DR.. Gilbert.
But it is the patients who are
strapped t. their beds.

Russia Is Prepared
To Make Concessions
On Holy Land Issue
Soviet Delegate Willing
To Accept Most Of
Conodion Compromise
by the Assocjoted Press

LAKE SUCCESS, Nov. TO-
Soviet Delegate Semen K. Tsar-
apkin said today that Russia was
prepared to make concessions in
an effort to reach an agreement
with the United States on en-
forcement of the proposed par
tition of Palestine into separate
Arab and Jewish countries.
An official source meanwhile said
Russia had formally introduced a
new proposal at a closed meeting OF
working party composed of Rus
sian, American, Canadian and
Guatemalan delegates from: the
United Nations Assembly's "parti-
tion" subcommittee.
Mr.. Tsarapkin made his statement
of Russian willingness to compro-
mise as he entered the secret ses-
sion.
The Soviet delegate said Russia
would agree to most" Of the sug-
gestions for compromise submitted
last week end by Lester B. Pearson
of Canada.
Would Let Britain Stay.
Mr.. Pearson suggested that Britain
end her mandate over the Holy
Land January /, but continue to
administer Palestine until separate
Arab and Jewish regimes are estab-
lished.
Mr.. Tsarapkin indicated before
the meeting that Russia would not
object to Britain remaining a while
longer in Palestine. Previously the
Russians proposed that the mandate
end January l and that Britain
withdraw by April 80.
It was not known Immediately
whether the United States was pre-
pared to accept the Canadian COM
promise suggestions which also call
for a U. N. commission to be
elected by the 57-nation Genera
Assembly but directly responsible to
the 11-nation Security Council.
An American delegation spokes-
man said the United States posi-
ton was "by no means static" and
added that every effort would be
made to reach an agreement with
Russia today.
Canadian Approval Seen.
Mr.. Tsarapkin said he felt that
what he would propose regarding
the Canadian suggestions would
meet the approval Of the Canadian
and Guatemalan representatives.
The Canadian compromise sug-
gestions on which Russia said she
was prepared to make concessions
were based on three questions:
/. Will the United States and
Russia agree to terminate the Brit
ish mandate in Palestine January /?
2. Would the two powers agree to
have a commission of the General
Assembly named to take charge of
Palestine and make its report to
the Security Council?
8. Would they ask Britain to stay
on under the administration of the
United Nations to supervise law
and order?

Full Committee Votes
Contempt Citations fol
Ten Movie Witnesses
Will Ask Speaker Martin
To Certify Charges
To U. S. Attorney

The full House Committee on
Un-American Activities has ap-
proved it's subcommittee rec
concentrations to cite 10 Holly
wood personalities for contempt
of Congress and the recommen-
dations will reach Speaker Mar
tin this afternoon, Robert E
Stripping, the committees chief
investigator, said today.
In the absence of Congress the
Speaker can certify contempt cita-
tions to the United States Attorney
and the committee will ask him to
do so.
The 10 were recommended for
contempt citations during the final
stormy days of the committees in
quiry into Communist infiltration in
Hollywood last month.
Since the subcommittee recessed
it's hearings the full committee has
been polled to approve the recon-
mendations.
Named in the proposed contempt
citations are John Howard Law
son, Alvah Bessie, Herbert Biber-
man, Lester Cole, Edward Dmytryk,
Ring Lardner. jr.; Albert Maltz,
Samuel Ornitz, Adrian Scott and
Dalton Trumbo.
Through their attorneys, the 10
writer's, directors and producers have
asked Speaker Martin to refuse to
certify the contempt proceedings
and to give their counsel an oppor-
tunity to argue their case.
The citations were recommended
on the ground that the men refused
on the witness stand to answer the
question: Are you or have you
ever been a member of the Com
munist Party?"
The 10 witnesses contend that no
contempt was committed because
all appropriate questions were
answered.

3Laynnen TO Try
Chief Murphy
.At0wn Request
District Heads Grant
Surprise Petition;
Muher Is Prosecutor
By NewboId Noyes, Jr.

Fire Chief Clement Murphy
will go before a trial board of
three laymen, charged with de
moralizing" his department.
This became certain today as
Martin F. O'Donoghue, Chief Muir
phys attorney, formally asked the
Commissioners for such a public
hearing. The Commissioners i'm
mediately approved the request.
Mr.. ODonoghue sprung his sur
prise move after learning the city
heads already had made up their
minds to call Chief Murphy to ac-
count on the Generalization charge
made against him by Capt. Joseph
w. Conroy before a House District
Subcommittee last June II.
District Heads Act Quickly.
Mr.. O'Donoghue brought his let
ter to the District Building at 10
m. just as the Commissioners were
sitting down to one of their regular
bi-weekly meetings.
Things moved swiftly after that.
The city heads ordered their law de-
partment to proceed Immediately
with the preparation of formal
charges against Chief Murphy. Less
than 80 minutes after he had been
sworn in as Special Assistant Cor
poration Counsel, the case was as
signed to Daniel B. Maher. former
assistant United States attorney.
Secret Report Studied.
The Commissioners-who have
been studying secret report by the
corporation counsel's office, which
is said to back up the Conroy
charges - had announced earlier
they would give Chief Murphy a
chance to answer those charges be-
fore deciding about possible trial
board action.
They were understood, however, to
have concluded that-however well
the fire chief might answer those
charges in private-there was no al
ternative to proceeding officially
against him since any other action
would result in charge of white
washing" the case.
Mr.. ODonoghue said this morn
ing he had told Commissioner John
Russell Young weeks ago he would
be anxious for a public hearing on
the Csnroy charges, were it not for
the fact the corporation counSels
report contained material extran-
eous to these charges which might
injure persons in no way connected
with the Fire Department.
Mr.. Young is the Commissioner
who handles Fire Department mat
tiers.
Nothing to Fear, Attorney Says.
The fire chief has nothing to fear
from a thorough public airing OF
the charges, Mr.. O'Donoghue said.
He is guilty of demoralizing the
department only in the sense that
he has made it an efficient, hard
working organization, which has
made some people unhappy" Mr..
O'Donoghue added.
Three Laymen to Hear Case.
Chief Murphy will face the same
sort of trial board which last year
found Penal Supt. Howard Gill
guilty on charges of ineficiency.
Mr.. Gill subsequently was dismissed.
Since Chief Murphy would OUT
rank any Fire Department member
who could be called to serve on the
board, it will be composed of three
prominent local laymen.
The identity of the three men
has not yet been decided. 1t is

COMPLY WITH RULES OF
SCHOOL. VA TELLS VETS

The Veterans Administration
today cautioned veterans enter
ing schools and colleges this fall
under the G.. |. Bill that they
must comply with the regularly
prescribed standards and practic-
es of the educational institutions
during their period of enrolment.
Government-paid tuition to an
educational institution does not
place a veteran in special privi-
lege class, VA said.
Students veterans must abide
by all the rules and regulations
of the institutions where they are
enrolled. They must maintain sat
isfactory academic marks. Willful
misconduct or unsatisfactory pro-
gress are grounds for withdrawal
of subsistence and tuition pay
ments. In the past, cases of will
ful misconduct or unsatisfactory
progress have been egligible and
for the most part student veter-
ans have attained academic marks
equal to or above the non-veteran
students.
The government pays UP to $500
a year in tuition to enable vet
eran to continue his education
In addition, subsistence alloWan-
ces are paid to eligible veterans.
