COMMENTS ON MENTAL
HOSPITAL CARE

"The Worst Story Ever Told" If
you have read the piece in the "Balti-
more Sunday Sun" paper about Mary
lands tax supported Mental Hos
pital," we should not feel so proud of
our state but bow our heads in shame
of such conditions existing in the U.
S. A., and to think the curse rests on
Maryland. This certainly should be
no oversight to our officers in power
in our State This account of condi-
lions is not fictitious but the truth
cannot be otherwise. With money be-
ing used in our State for things not
nearly as important, why cannot this
be cared for in a satisfactory manner.
A disgrace like this surely needs to be
taken in hand at once and more money
spent for nurses, doctors and comfort
for the suffering ones placed in such
Hellish places as these. Many have
dear friends and relatives there and
cannot rest until conditions have
changed.
One whose interest is in suffering
humanity.

national debt. He proposed to do this
| by imposing four billion more new
taxes on income and corporations. 1t
is already clear that Congress will
mot impose anywhere near that
amount of new taxes. But even if it
gave him what he asks, it would not
be enough because Mr.. Trupan's
ether recommendations would in
crease the national debt instead of
decreasing it. Also they would make
the already precariously balanced
budget hopelessly unbalanced. And
here is a President fully equipped
with the knowledge that the Federal
bureaucracy is so vast, wasteful and
costly that it no longer functions
with even a semblance of efficiency,
yet presents a program that newt
ably must add greatly to its size,
cost, waste and inefficiency
Considering these things, there
are only two tenable views to take
of Mr. Truman, neither of them COM
plimentary: % You can believe that
he is honestly convinced the pro-
posals he asks Congress to enact are
sound enough and right but not smart
enough to know that even a part of
them would completely nullify his
recommendation as to debt and bud
get; or (2) you can believe that he
is sufficiently clearheaded to know
the fiscal danger involved in his pro-
gram but was compelled to present
it by the promises made to the special
groups during his campaign and has
no real expectation that much of it
will go through.

the president, in his present "honey-
moon" period and with all the 'liber-

will be saddIed permanently with
previously heavy burdens, steadily
increasing with the years to the back

vent this from happening. Nothing

Chief among them, of course, is the

Since it's submission this program

some, eulogized as liberal" by 9TH
ers. Actually, as now revealed, it is
wholly political in its conception,
primarily designed for the gullible

one reason or another is so COM
mitted to the direction in which the
country is being taken as to be indif
ferent to the consequences.
1t is not a question of the merits
or desirability of the Truman re-
quests. There is room for debate
about these Federalized medicine;
Federalized public education; FEEDER
allied housing aid; expansion of So
cial security; extension of river val

Federalized power lines for extension
of rural elcctrification; new ware
houses for crop storage; immediate
action on the st. Lawrence water
way; creation of numerous new
boards and commissions for va
rety of things, cts. There are two
sides to these projects, ample scope
for honest difference of opinion. But
there is no room for difference of
opinion about the fundamental fact
that at this time and in the way pro-
posed, Mr.. Truman's program can
not be put through without approach

ragically affect not only every man,
woman and child in this country but
in most of the world This exceed

that event the so-called "social revo-
luton" would indeed be inescapable
and the United States no longer en-
titled to boast of its fundamental
freedom or economic soundness.
If a situation like this can have a
humorous side, it is furnished by the
plight into which this Truman pro-
gram has placed those publicity avid
Republican senators who call them
selves undetermined" and are-so
they say-striving to "vitalize" their
party along Constructive" and "pro-
gressive" lines The Truman program
leaves them appalled, at its cost and
Inconsistencies. Nevertheless, h Y
discover that most of the things for
which he asks were recommended in
the Republican platform, and to save
their souls they cannot think of
single constructive" or liberal"
idea that Mr.. Truman has left out.
Also, they now find that Senator
Taft, whom for long time they
have been denouncing as reaction
ary," introduced last year three of
the bills which Mr. Truman now
urges on the subjects of Federal
health, Federal education and FEEDER
al housing. 1t is not inaccurate to de-
scribe the state of mind of these
modern" Republicans as confused
They do not know whether to follow
Mr.. Truman, in which there is no
nourishment for their party or them
selves, or whether to confess that
they have no criticism of the Taft
leadership which will stand up.
