Holmes Man Member
Special Committee On
Vets Hospital Care
State Hospital Group
Asks For Coordination
On Federal Program

Acting in cooperation with the
American Hospital Association,
7. T. Grantham, Jackson, Presi-
dent of the Mississippi State
Hospital Association, appointed a
special committee to deal with
the problem of hospital care for
veterans Particular emphasis
and attention is to be paid to two
problems (a) the wisdom of ex.
banding the Veterans Admins
tration hospital system, (b) i'm
, proving the criterion used in
providing hospital care to vete-
rams with non-service connected
disabilities.
The members of this committee
are John w. Gill, business man.
| ager, Mercy Hospital-Street
Memorial, Vicksburg, chairman;
H. A. Scott, business manager.
Wathall Hospital, Tylertown; and
Walter D. Smith, administrator,
Holmes County Community Hos
pital, Lexington. This committee
will represent the Association
and act as liaison group in all
dealings with interested veterans
organization within the state.
The following recommended
tons as submitted by this spe
cial committee have been adopt
ed by the Board of Directors as
representing the view point of
the Mississippi State Hospital As
ISOLATION concerning hospital care
for veterans:
CD The Veterans Administra-
ton Hospital planning be coor-
dinated with other Federal pro-
grams, including the Hill-Burton
Program, to which the Federal
government contributes. There is
definite need for coordination
which may we'll afford overlap
ping in the provision of facilities
and possibly certain of this could
be eliminated through closer CO.
operation and coordination.
(2) There is definite need for
legal means to investigate the
financial status of veterans apply
ing for non-service connected aid.
At the present time, there is no
such legal means or formal pro
gram.
(3) There then shall be need
for compliance with the defini-
tons which determine the eligi-
bility of veterans with nom
service connected disabilities who
require and request hospitaliza-
ton and which determination
may then be made on basis of
carrying out the area developed in
point 2. In the past, there seems
to have been certain abuses of
the privilege extended to nom
service connected cases and nc
positive steps have been taken tc
correct the situation. Veterans or
carnations have recognized GER
tam abuses and have expressed
desire to cooperate in the de-
velopment of means to elimi-
nate these.

Chancellor Pyle was GER
tainly speaking the truth
when he said a newspaper,
any newspaper, does not be-
long to those who own it. II
belongs to the public-which
is every person who reads it.
Because of that reason it is
Of the utmost importance that
any newspaper serving any
community, large or small
makes certain it is fair to the
public-to all its readers.
1t is important that its
columns be kept open to an
sides of any public question
and that those who oppose its
editorial policy have ample
opportunity to make their
views known to the public.
In the seventeen years that
we have edited a community
policy we have consistently
and rigidly followed those
principles-as all our readers
can testify.
We want our readers to feel
that the paper belongs to
them-that it is here to serve
them and the community's
needs-and that it will never
falter on a job that needs to
be done.
We believe our readers do
feel that way.

The interest of practically
every person in the state of
Mississippi has been aroused
over the fight between the
two newspapers in Jackson.
Chancellor Pyle has issued,
as we expected, the temporary
injunction sought by Major
Fred Sullen of the Jackson
Daily News and his group re-
straining the Hederman in
terests of the Cfarion-Ledger
from purchasing 20 shares OF
stock of the corporation own
ing both newspapers. The
stock mentioned was to have
been purchased by the Heder-
mans for the sum of $3.50, 900
from Majors daughter and
would have given them con-
troll of the corporation-hence
control over the Jackson Daily
News.
Chancellor Pyle in issuing
the INDUCTION said:
THE litigation possesses fac
tors of extreme Importance to
the community and state"
He continued: The two pa
pers of Jackson are not, as
many think, the property en-
tirely of the stockholders, but
they are the quasi-property OF
the good people of jackson
and Mississippi"
The hearing on a permanent
injunction to halt the sale of
the controlling stock will pro-
badly come up in September
in the Chancdllor's court.
Regardless of the final out
come of the court hearing the
TWO papers will be compelled
to dissolve the corporation and
remain independent of each
other completely if they want
to retain any public conf
dence.
The public has never under
stood the reason for their mer-
ger anyway.
