Whitfield Investigation Opens

The long overdue investigation of conditions at the
Whitfield mental institution seems to be underway at last
and with the full weight of Governor Wright behind it.
The general legislative investigating committee was
called into session in jackson yesterday by Governor
Wright to undertake the investigation and the governor
personally appeared with the committee when it opened
its session Thursday morning.
The charges grew out of an investigation of conditions
at the hospital by Rep. Hayden Campbell of Kinds county,
who charged maadministration by members of the staff
and extreme brutality in treatment of patients by attend
ants at the institution.
The charges were SO serious that Rep. Campbell asked
a Rankin county grand jury to investigate the deaths of
two patients one of whom he charged was covered with
bruises from the top of her head to the bottom of her feet
and her neck was broken"
The grand jury is at present conducting an investiga-
ton into these deaths. Other charges of brutality are
rampant and in most instances backed up by written and
sworn testimony in the hands of Rep. Campbell.
Senator Watson, member of the legislative committee,
said Wednesday that more than 100 employees had been
dismissed at the hospital since Rep. Campbell started his
investigation. This means one of two things. Either the
hospital administration is taking punitive action against
employees who might have testified as to conditions at
the institution, or an attempt is being made to clean up
the situation before the investigation gets under way.
Rep. Campbell deserves the sincere thanks of all Mis-
sississippians for pressing his personal investigation SO
vigorously as to bring about a full scale hearings on con-
ditions at the institution.
We don't know what the outcome of the investigation
will be. We do know that no member of the institution
staff has publicly answered Rep. Campbells extremely SER
ious charges, which, if not true, would then seem to us to
be libelous.
The legislative committee should carry through
its investigation OF Rep. Campbells charges without fear
or political favor. A complete report of the investigation
should then be given the people of Mississippi. If Rep.
C~ampbellis charges are true, then those persons responsible
should be indicted and prosecuted to the full extent of the
law, and Governor Wright should undertake a wholesale
house cleaning to rectfy the situation once and for all.
IT the charges are not true, then the names of those per-
sons involved should be publicly cleared.

Voters Should Grant Pay Raise

P~ascagoula voters will be asked to pass judgment on
an increase in pay for the mayor and two city commission
es at an election to be held Saturday, January 22nd.
Judging the matter impartially, we believe that for a
number of reasons the increased pay should be granted.
Handling of the citys affairs and finances is big bus
mess and requires careful, adequate and competent adj
ministraton. We do not mean to imply that the city has
not received this in the past, nor will be denied it in the
future if the pay raise is not granted. We do say emphatic
ally, however, that the present pay is entirely out of pro-
portion to the duties and responsibilities of the office.
An ordinance has been adopted which will make the
office of mayor a full time job. That of the two city COM
misSoners already requires their full time and energies,
Pascagoula, we believe, merits this of it's elected officials
and should be willing to pay for it.
These, and other factors, should be carefully consider
ed by the voters in making up their minds on the ques-
ton. The decision should be made on the merits of the
question alone, and whether the voter is willing to pay
for the qualifications that he demands of his officials.
We believe the pay raise is deserved and further hope
that the voters will grant it.
The Chronicle-star combined with the Moss Point advertiser., 1949-01-14

same time the claim is made
that dredging each year is in
adequate to accommodate the
commerce" We take il that this
means that one dredging each
year is inadequate for mainte-
nance of the channel at project
depth. If this is true, then main
tenance at Gulfport certainly
must be a problem. Our own
22-foot project depth has pref
ty well held its own with main
tenance dredging one every
two or three years. Incidental
ly, our own 81 foot channel will
be completed in early spring
(paid for with our own money!
and we then will rightfully be :.
Mississippi's only port adequate
to handle all types of modern
deep water shipping.
.
Inc proposed Warehouse at
-Pascagoula to be paid for by a
$250,00 0 Port Commission bond
issue will be the final factor
in the port development pro-
gram. Coupled with the reclaim
alton of more than 100 acres of
land for industrial sites on the
west bank of the river, Missis-
sippi's deep water port cant
help but go ahead. We predict
that within a matter of two to
three years oil tankerS will be
loading here from a pipeline
tapping our states developing
oil fields. An abundance of pro-
teeted industrial sites, ware
housing, a protected river port,
a nine mile, easily maintained
channel to deep Gulf water,
coupled with a 31-foot channel
that will accommodate any
shipping but the largest type
of oil tankers all point to the
brightest future Jackson coun-
ty has visioned in many a year.
. n
The most outstanding factor
in the whole program is that it
has been accomplished by Jack
son countians themselves, with
out asking Uncle Sam to foot
the bill. 1t shows a determina-
ton and conviction that is a
healthy sign in these days of
federal handouts. II underlines
the fact that Jackson countians
believe in themselves and their
natural resources. and are will
ing to lay their money on the
line to back up their beliefs and
convictions. 1t is this spirit that
developed America and made
it great, and may the Lord help
us if we ever lose it.

members of the trial jury took
the witness stand and testified

County Hastens Eeetrifieation Of Lower Keys;
Residents Urged TO Participate In REA Plan

One Of the greatest needs Of
Monroe county may soon be .
thing Of the past! Monroe County
commissioners last night voted
unanimously to hasten arrange
ments and plans demanded BY
the Rural Identification Admins
istration before constructing .
power plant and lines on the
lower keys.
The commissioners authorized
Ross Sawyer, Jr, to solicit mem
berships, easements from all resi-
dents of the lower keys.
One Of the requirements of the
REA is that there must be three
customers to mile. Also that q
SIS membership fee must accom-
pany all applications from rural
home owners.
Both Sawyer and Henry Hud-
gins are confident that all re-
quirements viii be met easily.
Hudgins asked The Citizen to call
the public's attention to the vast
possibilities of the lower keys, il
Identification is successful.
Hudgins reminded local resi-
dents that most all residents Of
the lower keys trade in Key West
solely. So therefore, electrified
ton Of the lower keys is also a
great opportunity for the Island
City.
When asked by Citizen re-
porter, the effect of eleetrifica-
ton of the lower keys, Hudgins
answered promptly 1t will
mean great land boom"
So important is this project
that many owners Of diesel plants
on the keys have gladly stated
their intention to 60 along with
the plan, even though they will
not personally be benefited from
the rural identification.
Hudgins. deeply interested in
RE, has offered to donate a por-
ton Of his holdings to house the
proposed power plant, If the REA
can use his land, they are more
than welcome to it, Hudgins stat
ed From Boca Chica to the toll
