Trapped Hartley

Rep. Fred A. Hartley R., MI
has changed his mind once more.
Last sum mer Hartley told
everybody who'd listen that he
was determined not to seek re-
election in 194e. At that time he
vigorously denied rumors that
the New Jersey subsidiary of the
Natl. Assn. of Manufacturers had
offered him fine job. because
OF his efforts in their behalf.
Then few weeks ago Hartley
said he could be drafted to run
again, and indicated it was mat
ter of Republican prestige.
But this week he announced he
has definitely decided to step
aside this fall.
The chairman of the House la
Dor committee recalled that ''it
is a matter of ecord that
treunced the combined organized
opposition of the CIO, AFL and
Pea in 1912, 1914, and 1916" +"
But Hartley's statement lacked
any prediction that he could beat
the combined AFL-CIO and lib
eral vote this fall.

Wet gains

During 1947, victories in local

population of 1880 in areas that
had previously been dry.
The advance against the prohi-

repeal that the drys had 10 s t

return to Volsteadism by the local

DR.. Sweeney took issue with DR..
Wortis on several points. Referring
to DR.. Wortis' finding that other
departments of the hospital get
more nursing care, DR.. Sweeney said
almost none of the departments gets
an adequate number of hours Of
nursing care. He said the psyche
pathic division has a full-tine So
cial worker. DR.. Wortis said only
part-time services were available.
The hospital superintendent, how
ever, joined with DR.. Wortis In
urging more personnel for the psy-

to insure better sterilization OF
dishes are being installed, cracked

municable diseases.
DR.. Sweeney also noted an i'm
provement in the serving of food.
The one elevator in operation, he
said, is being used to carry food to
the second floor of two of the con-
Meeting buildings and to the first
floor of q third connecting building.
Until recently, nurses and attend
ants carried all the food containers
up the stairs of the elevatorless
psychiatric buildings.
Courses Being Organized.
DR.. Sweeney also reported:
The full-time Protestant and
Catholic chaplains are being en-
couraged to devote more time to

patients.
Steps are being taken" to get
newspaper subscriptions to provide
newspapers on all the psychopathic
wards.
Courses Of study patterned after
those at st. Elizabeths Hospital are
being organized for personnel on
duty in the psychopathic division.

made a highly critical report on the
psychopathic division last month.
DR.. Sweeney, in his progress re-
port, noted that definite instruc-
lions have been issued to ban man
aching of patients without orders
from a physician, except In the
greatest emergency, and then .
physician must be reached imme-
diately to report the condition and
receive his approval in writing"
The hospital superintendent also
said instructions have been Issued
calling for periodic inspectionss.of
patients strapped to their. beds. !
DR.. Wortis had called attention
to the fact that patients at CALM
ger sometimes are put in re-
straints" by members Of the nurs-
ing staff without signed orders from
a physician and that restrained pa
tients should be examined at inter-
walls of not more than two hours to
make sure that the straps are
not impairing their circulation.
The New York psychiatrist also
emphasized that mechanical re-
straints should never be substi-
tute" for nurses and attendants.
On that score, DR.. Sweeney said
some of the continuous flow tubs
used for disturbed patients instead
of manacling them-will be put In
use beginning in the next few
days." as more nurses and attend
ants are trained in their use.
In forwarding the report, DR..
Rutland said some of the condi-
lions criticized by DR.. Wortis are
being corrected and others have
been delayed because of inadequate
budget and inability to get suitable
personnel.
