Hearing Set on Bill
For Direct Entrance
To St. E|izabeths

A hearing on the Miller bill to
permit chronic mental patients to
20 directly to st. Elizabeths Hospital
will be held by the House District
Subcommittee on Health at 10 am.
Friday.
Representative Miller, Republican,
of Nebraska, subcommittee chair
man, who introduced the measure
yesterday, said he hopes for early
action to get the bill reported to
the full House District Committee
at its next regular session.
Meeting Today Cancelled.
The House District Committee had
scheduled a meeting for this morn
ing, but this was Cancelled. The
committee decided to wait until
more measures come up from SUBJ
committees, so that the most i'm
portant pending local legislation can
be acted on at once. No date has
been fixed for the next session.
The Miller bill would provide for
some patients to bypass Galilngel
Hospital and enter st. Elizabeths
directly. The measure was developed
after conferences among District
officials, who agreed on the bill as
the best means to divert some OF the
patients from Gallinger's over
crowded, understaffed, psychopathic
division.
Amends 1889 Act.
The bill would amend the Mental
Health Act OF 1899. 1t would
authorize the court to order deten'
ton in st. Elizabeths OF persons
believed to be of unsound mind
The court would act on the basis o1
a petition and two aff1davits.
Meanwhile, an effort will be made
to get a rule from the House Rules
Committee for special House con-
sideration of bill to authorize
the Defense Homes Corp. to turn
over to Howard University two resi-
dence halls built to house wal
workers.
The bill was passed over without
prejudice yesterday on an obJection
| from the floor, when it was calico
up on the calendar. The residence
halls are known as the Lucy D1ggs
Slowe and George Washington
Carver residence halls.
