According to the army, an air
mail letter takes about eight days
on the average, To get to soldier
in Korea after it leaves San Fran
cisco. Two days more may have
been needed to get that letter to
San Francisco II it came from
some place IN the eastern part of
the L. S. The army thinks this ism It
too bad, considering that many of
the q. Is are shifting around IN
active fighting and that full day
is lost when the international date
line Is crossed west of Hawaii.
But letters sent by regular mail
are something else again. These
take AN average of 20 days out of

have To wait until IA surface ship Is
available and this may not be
exactly the fastest one in the
world. And the transportation
from mailing point to San Fran
cisco by tram may need up TO
five more days. The moral Is
that Nom and Sugar and Uncle
Fred should always use airmail
to Joe out in Korea.
The army says it doesn't have
enough space in planes in view of
the supplies urgently needed at the
front, to use westbound planes for
letters not sent air mail. During
World War ii this problem OF
space Tor mail was met in part by
micro-filming letters that lent
themselves to that process. The
army says it now has microfilm-
ing under study for mail in

apeake Bay, it was originally
established and even now is
primarily neuro psychiatric
hospital. But four years ago. a.
general medical and surgical serv-
ice was made available. 1t has
been built up to a high state of
efficiency with the aid of consult
ants from the John Hopkins and
University of Maryland Medical
Schools in Baltimore.
Resisted by Patients.
But while there are almost
always beds and other accomoda-
tions there for patients from this
area who are unable to get into
the always-crowded Mount Alto
Hospital, there is resistance
shown by veterans when told they
could receive immediate treatment
at Perry Point, instead of getting
on a long waiting list for Mount
Alto. The conditions here have
been aggravated by the with
drawal of beds formerly available
at the Naval Medical Hospital at
Bethesda and the Walter Reed
sometime after the Korean
troubles started.
This resistance comes from the
fact that the institution is more
generally known as a neuro-psy-
|chiatric hospital, and its general
medical and surgical activities
are little known. Veterans ex-
press fear that if they accept
treatment there and it becomes
known that they were at Perry
Point. their acquaintances might
give them a suspicious eye.
But DR.. Peter A. PETER, man.
ager Of the institution. and who
has been largely responsible for
building up the general medical
and surgical service says that
veterans will find the best service
of its kind there. He further
points out that the new neuro-
Ipsychiatric activities and the
medical services are entirely
separate. Although located on
the same reservation. they are
separate and distinct activities,
each occupying separate build
ings.
One Of Largest in Set-Up.
Many patients, 1t was reported,
who were argued almost against
their wills to accept treatment
there. have left with a feeling of
surprise and satisfaction with the
treatment they received, and
have been profuse in their thanks
for having been urged to accept
treatment there.
Perry Point is one Of the largest
institutions In the Veterans Ad-
ministration hospital set-up. 1t
has a total of 1910 beds, of which
$50 are for general medical and
surgical patients. 1t has 1913
employees. of which 113 are nurses
and $50 nurses aides. 1t has %
full-time staff doctors and 80
residents. 1t has a training pro-
gram for both neuro-psychiatric |
and general medical and surgical
physicians, under the direction
of the Deans Committee of Balti-
more.
