"A Dissroce to Washington
By Miriom Ottenberq

1t takes a long time to get
something done in the Dis
= trict.
Take Gallinger Hospitals
psychopathic division.
Y In November. 1947, The Star
showed in a series of articles
that treatment of mentally Ill
at Gallinger was disgrace
to Washington"
The District Medical Society,
the Public Health Service. the
District Commissioners. the
Health Department and con-
sultant brought here from New
York concurred.
The road to Galllnger's psy-
chopathic division was paved
with good intentions. Now.
nearly 18 months later, here
is what has been done-and
what hasn't been done:
The Star found patients
manacled to their beds 18
months ago. Last week, leather
straps - euphuistically called
mechanical restraints"-were
still in use.
Seclusi0n Rooms Provided.
Hospital authorities assured
the Commissioner that strap
ping of patients could be aban-
doned If seclusion rooms were
made usable. If continuous tubs
for soothing baths were re-
paired and If more trained per-
sonnet were provided.
Congress voted $4,000 to
make the seclusion rooms
usable by removing dangerous
radiators and ventilating the
rooms through forced air vents.
The President signed an urgent
deficiency appropriation with
this item on March 4, 1948.
The hospital picked the 20
rooms it had chosen for seolud-
ing disturbed patients. The
work was finally completed on
January 4, 1949.
But the seclusion rooms have
not been used.
The most disturbed patients
are located in the south build
ing Of the psychopathic divi-
sion. For some reason the
seclusion room repairs were
made In the east and west
buildings and not In the south
building.
Evening star., 1949-04-24
"A Diseroee to Washington
The Walls Have Been Painted
But GoI|ineer Hospitals Mental Patients Still Are
MonocIed- SecIusion Rooms Unused

Asked why the seclusion
rooms were not in use, Gal
linger Supt. A. r. Sweeney said
he had been told by DR.. Joseph
L. Gilbert. head of the
psychopathic division. that he
doesn't have enough staff. DR..
Sweeney said DR.. Gilbert told
him an attendant would have
to stay with each patient in a
seclusion room.
A psychiatrist at another
hospital said usual practice was
for one attendant to keep a
regular check, through peep
holes, on a number Of seclusion
rooms. This psychiatrist said
If there we're an attendant for
every patient in a seclusion
room, 1t would not be necessary
to have seclusion rooms.
The continuous tubs were
put into working order at con-
siderable outlay for plumbing
and fixtures. But they are rare
ly used. Insufficient staff was
the explanation for that. too.
When a reporter raised a
question about the tubs last
week, DR.. Sweeney told DR.. Gil
bert the attendant. VINO ac-
companies the men to the phy-
siotherapy rooms. should stay
to guard them in the tubs. This
new solution to the problem
Of staff came after the tubs
had heen ready for operation
but unused for over a year.
Elevators Still Do Not Run.
Then, there is the long. long
story of the elevators. Con-
gress appropriated $50,00o over
! year ago to put them in
working order SO food and
stretcher patients would not
have to be carried up two or
three flights Of stairs. The
elevators still. do not run. They
are nov expected to be COM
pleted BY early August.
Recently. the hospital dis
covered the projected elevator
in the south building, where
new patients are admitted. will
not be big enough for a stretch
er. But any increase in the
elevators size would mean ma
jor building changes, so no
thing is going to be done about
that.

Dr.. Bunche Selected
As Acheson' S Adviser
For Near East, Africa
Nomination to Be Mode
After Congress Approves
More Department Aides
By Gornett D. Homer

DR.. Ralph Bunche. who has
played q major role in bringing
peace to Palestine as United Ma
tions mediator there, has been
selected for appointment as As
sistant Secretary of State for Near
Eastern and African Affairs. 1t
was learned yesterday.
Present plans are for President
Truman to send his nomination
to the Senate after Congress ap-
proves legislation authorizing ad-
ditional assistant secretary posi-
tions in the State Department.
This may take several weeks.
Senate confirmation Of the ex-
pected nomination would give the
44-year-old grandson of q slave
and former Howard University
professor one Of the highest Gov
ernment positions ever attained
by Negro.
Called Logical Choice.
DR.. Bunche's entire career, cap
ped by his U. N. assignment in
which he won the confidence OF
both Arabs and Jews in the strife
torn Holy Land. makes logical
choice for the job of principal
adviser to Secretary Of State Ache
son on affairs in that part Of the
world. department officials say.
As q professor and research
worker, DR.. Bunche devoted years
to the study of the problems OF
backward areas Of the world
and became known as an out
standing authority on colonial and
other dependent peoples. He was
associate. chief Of the State De-
,partment's Division of Dependent
Area Affairs before going to the
q. N. in 1916 as director Of its
Trusteeship Division.
The job now slated for him In
the State Department is one Of
four new assistant secretary posts
planned under q reorganization
program to divide responsibility
under Secretary Acl1eson. for
handling relations with the rest
Of the world on . geographical
area basis. There will be an ~
sistant secretary for Europe. for
Latin America and for the Far
East In addition to the Near East
and Africa.
