Donohue Affirns
Support Of D. {.
Alcoholic Clinic

Commissioner F. Joseph Dono-
hue today assured friends of the
Districts Alcoholic Rehabilita-
ton Clinic he had no wish to
abandon that program.
Disturbed by a recent COM
ment of Mr.. Donohue that he
doubted whether the rehabili-
tation program had helped a
single person, members of the
clinics First Aid for Alcoholics
Committee visited him at the
District Building.
They feared the Commissioner
might seek to channel the ap-
preparation which supports the
clinic at Twenty-third and M
street NV. to a proposed 40-bed
alcoholic ward at Gallinger Hos
pital.
Program Badly Needed.
They told him that the re-
Mobilization program was the
eonly one of its kind in the Dis
trict, is doing good work and is
badly needed. Alcoholics need
more than just a drying up"
treatment, they pointed out.
= The members said that Alco-
holics Anonymous also is doing
good work and that there is a
place for all three-the clinic
AA and the hospital ward. They
cautioned that the proposed hos
pital ward should have an over
seer experienced in dealing with
alcoholics.
Mr.. Donohue agreed that all
three were needed. He said that
the alcoholic program should be
three-pronged, from a medical
psychiatric and religious stand
point. The program should be
interrelated, he said.
Since limited funds are avail
able, he added, the most effective
way of spending them should be
followed.
Backed by Camalier.
The committee members also
visited Commissioner Renah F.
Camalier, who said he would
fight any attempt to close the
clinic. He cited report of the
clinics operations from Feb
ruary 16, 1850. to September 80,
1852, indicating there were
LOTS voluntary patients and $50
referred by the courts.
Patients are not registered
until after they have attended
three sessions, the report pointed
out.
Only a little more than 80
per cent of the patients failed
according to the clinic. and even
these were considered to have
been helped.
Mr.. Camalier earlier had pro-
posed that the cost of liquor
licenses here be raised and the
money used to finance the pro-
posed Gallinger ward.

VeIde Declares Mail
Indicates Approval
ForChurch Red Probe

Chairman Velde of the House
Un-American Activities Com
mittee says his mail overwhelm-
ingly indicates approval of
search for Communists in re-
ligion, but that such an investi-
cation must necessarily be
delayed until some future date"
The Illinois Republican made
his statement in the House yes
terday after President Eisen-
hover took sharp issue with any
such probe and 43 Methodist
ministers in Washington as
sailed another committee men,
ber, Representative Jackson,
Republican, of California for a
speech attacking Bishop G.
Bromley Oman for his criticism
of the committee.
Mr.. Velde said that of 1,755
persons who have written him
concerning an investigation of
the churches. 1892 expressed
interest in, requested or even de-
manded" it. Only 81, he said,
expressed disapproval.
Says Staff Is Too Busy Now.
Mr.. Velde explained that his
committee staff is too busy with
other matters at the moment.
Also, he acknowledged, the in
vestigation could not be under
taken without approval by a
majority of the committee.
President Eisenhower told his
news conference yesterday that
no possible good could come from
an investigation of charges of
Communist influences in the
churches. He said that if
churches, with their testimony
for living God, are suspect in
their field to the point that in
Vestigation is needed, it would
be necessary to go a lot further
in looking into the disease of
communism.
The Methodist ministers said
Mr.. Jackson's speech attacking
Bishop Oman followed so close
ly a statement by the Bishop de-
manding that fair practices be
used by congressional investi-
eating groups "aS to make it ap-
pear that this is a reprisal
against him for raising his voice
in criticism"
This appears to be nothing
less than an organized attempt
to curb the traditional and con-
stitutional right of the church
to challenge trends and acts
that it deems dangerous to the
Christian way of life" they said.
