Anchorage Jail Labeled Fabulous Obscenity''

ANCHORAGE, (P)-A 350-bed mental hospital for Anchorage and a blast at the federal jail here as a fabulous obscenity" are items included in an interior de partment Investigating committee report.
 The hospital was recommended to serve this area as a component of major medical center.
 It was given top priority in a mental health program mapped for the Territory in a 25-page re- port which finally reached here Saturday by boat mail. It had been dated Feb. 10 and released in Washington, D. C., March IT.
 The committee, headed by Dr. Winfred OVerholSer, Superitend- ent of St. Elizabeth's hospital in Washington, D. C., labelled the Anchorage federal jail fabulous obscenity."
 "Our committee was aStounded to discover that sick persons, eS- pecially those who are charges of the government, are in this age placed in fire trap quarters as un- safe, unsanitary and generally de- moralizing as the present building maintained as a federal jail in Anchorage, the largest city in Alaska.
 ''Use of this fabulous obscenity as a place to house mental pa tients is nothing short of barbaric, despite efforts of the United States marshal's staff to render decently humane treatment. It must be said that this facility is fully as unsuitable for prisoners as for the mentally ill."
 The experts who prepared the report spent three weeks studying lldShC @ lilCiiCdI IiC1ilti ltOL Sllll- mer.
 They also recommended estab- liShment of a 50-bed treatment center at Mt. Edgecumbe health education center at Sitka, for cases from Southeastern Alaska on short term basis, and that an agreement be worked out with the Territorial government to take over and operate both facilities af- ter they are completed.
 In urging Anchorage as a To- cation for an Alaskan center for long term mental care, tke com mittee said the mental hospital would become coordinated part

News of the W Orid At A Glance ---
Saturday. April l, 1850 CBy The Associated Press

The Truman administrations three billion dollar foreign aid bill, which cleared the House after a week of battering, faced more rought handling today from both sides of Capitol Hill.
 The measure got through the House last night by a 287 to 86 vote after a week of OnSlaughts by Republicans and Southern Democrats. It now heads for the Senate.
 The overall purpose of the bill, which continues the Marshall Plan, is to provide economic aid to nations resisting communism and to hike their living standards so their citizens won't succumb to Red propaganda.
 The measure contained the con- troversial Point Four program intended to help ba k ward friendly nations get on their feet through technical assistance from the United States. However, funds for the program were cut almost in half. House leaders say they are sure the Senate will include the Point Four project in the bill.
