Mental Institutions
Still Substandard,
Gov. Tuck Informed
BY the Associated Press

| RICHMOND. Va, Nov. Sin a
160-page document, Charles j.
Duke, jr., and his State reorgani-
zation staff reported today to Gov.
Tuck that Virginia's mental insti-
tutions are still substandard" and
''undermanned."
Covering an examination OF
every phase of the mental pro-
gram in Virginia, the report sug-
gested the State should focus its
attention on the following items:
improvement of measures. to
prevent mental Illness; expansion
and improvement of staff; con-
struction Of required physical IA
cilities to prevent overcrcwding
and to provide for future in
creases; service aimed at helping
durable patients and those who
have tuberculosis and epilepsy:
correction and modernization of
laws on commitment and dis
charge; improvement in staff
services in the central Office of the
hospital system.
Must Reverse Trend.
eff there is to be a limit to the
mounting cost of caring for the
mentally ILL.," the report said, "it
must result from first halting. and
then reversing. the trend that has
seen the mental institutions popu-
lation increase, during the past
80 years, from two per 1000 popu-
lation to four per 1000 popula-
ton" 1t added:
fundamentally, the savings lie
in the performance of the basic
function of preserving, for a use
full place in society, those citizens
who can profit from treatment as
distinguished from those for
whom the State must provide con-
tinuing custodial care"
Because the institutions are
"still substandard" and under
manned" Mr.. Duke said, patients
are not being cured and dis
charged for lack of adequate
treatment; and patients who have
recovered frequently are not dis
charged promptly. The institu-
tions still will be inadequately
housed when construction now au-
thorized is completed"
Recommendations Listed.

Duke report were:
/. Expansion and Improvement
of the, prevention program by
kclinic facilities, educational in
struction, school programs, etc.

First Action Last Month.
Young Gov. Talmadge went
into action last month: For a
week before the opening session
of the Assembly. the Governor
summoned lawmakers to his office
to explain his program and the
necessity for it.

asked for a 2-cent increase each in
the taxes on beer and cigarettes,
a 1-cent rise in gasoline taxes
and an increase from 512 to a
total of 8 per cent in corporate
income taxes.
The Legislature tampered only

rected the State revenue COM
missioner to raise the State ware
house charge on liquor by execu-
tive order from SO to a total of 81
