One Top Authority
Urged for Ga||inger',
Psychiatry Setup

Recognizing a need for ending
the confusion on authority in the
pSychiatric division Of Gallinger
Hospital, the city government or
ganizers advocate q simpliflca-
tion measure.
It would mean abolishing the
jobs Of DR.. Joseph L. Gilbert,
chief psychiatrist and alienist,
and DR.. Gerhart Gordon, chief
medical officer of the division.
In their stead, a new top job of
chief psychiatrist would be estab-
lished, with plain medical off,
Ger under him.
This rearrangement would cut
through the lines of divided and
questioned authority which have
prevailed for years. The Star
has consistently outlined the
need for correcting the situation.
Stebbing Wants New Official.
Schuyler Lowe, chief of the
city government reorganization
program, would not say today
which Of the two officials now
holding the Offices would gain
ascendency.
DR.. Philip A. E. Stebbing,
superintendent of Gallinger, de-
clared. however, that as far as
he is concerned it would be
neither.
II hope, if the reorganization
program goes through, to be
able to recruit a new man for
the job" DR.. Stebbing said. II
should hope that his pay grade
would be high enough to attract
the type of official that would
gain the respect of both DR.. Gill
bert and DR.. Gordon"
According to the reorganizers,
in their report to the Commits
sioners, considerable confusion
and controversy has existed for
years in the psychiatry division.
Concentrates Authority.
"The problem brought to light
is not new one, but one that
has existed for a considerable
period OF time without action
having been taken to resolve it,"
the reorganization report de-
clared.
BY designating a single clear
cut top job. the reorganizers
would vest in the chief psychia-
trist complete authority to be
responsible for medical and, ad-
ministrative practices concerned
with operation of the division.

Crime Bill Minimums
Face Morse Attack

The Districts big anti-crime
bill comes up for Senate action
today with Senator Morse, Inde-
pendent. of Oregon, slated to at
tack its provision for fixed mini
mum sentences for certain
crimes.
The bill was scheduled fol
consideration yesterday. Senator
Barrett, Republican, of Wyo-
ming, stayed in the chamber fol-
nearly six hours without lunch
on repeated assurances from the
leadership that the bill would
come up. It didn't. -
Senator Barrett, who heads
the Senate District judiciary
subcommittee. was expected 10
defend the bill as it now stands.
It differs from the House-passed
version in only one particular
the mandatory minimum sem
tences. The House bill provides
fixed sentences for certain
crimes on first and subsequent
offenses. The Senate bill limits
the mandatory sentences to re-
peaters.
Senator Morse informed the
Senate yesterday that he
planned to attack the manda-
tory minimum sentences. He
pointed to a pile of books when
he told the Senate he had a lot
Of data to present against fixed
sentences.
The bill makes some 70
changes in the law but the only
section remaining in controversy
Is the sentencing one.

10 Forgers in D. c.
Listed Among $50
Seized in Nation

Nineteen forgers were arrested
in the District during April and
May as part of a Nationwide
total of $50. Secret Service Chief
U. E. Baughman reported today.
Chief Baughman said most of
the forged Government checks
were cashed by retail merchants
who failed to insist on proper
Identification. He said the
number of arrests indicates an
increase in forgery activities and
warned merchants to be espe-
cially careful in securing identi-
f1cation.
A Government check is "aS
good as gold" Chief Baughman
said, provided it is in the hands
Of the person who is entitled to
it. A Government check with
a forged Endorsement is as
worthless as any forged COM
mercial or personal check, and
the storekeeper who cashes it is
the loser"

Further Efficiency
Studies Urged for
Health Department

Along with recommendations
for reshaping the present Health
Department, the Government re-
organizers urge future studies
for possible further improvement.
These include: ..
l. Cutting down the number
of clinics and other partially de-
centralized medical activities.
These are now to be found in
IS geographical locations, and
involve Is different specialized
medical services. If such a study
were to show feasibility of es-
tablishing health centers. savings
in the cost of maintaining scat
tered quarters and personnel
would be realized.
Consider Maximum Use.
In connection with the same
study. investigation should be
made to determine whether
maximum use is being made of
available medical personnel in
clinics. ..I ,.
2. Record and statistical pro-
cedure of the Health Depart
ment and the two hospitals
should be reviewed with the pur-
pose Of reducing the number of
forms now required and console
dating all figures pertinent to
operation Of the department.
3. Medico- social service work
should be examined to determine
whether a separate division for
this type of work should be
created.
Control Of Supplies.
4. Since mo Standardization Of
medical and surgical supplies and
equipment" now exists, the possi-
bility Of centralized control
should be considered.
S. Bed occupancy Of Gallinger
Hospital should be surveyed, on
the suspicion that "this hospital
now operates below the average
rate of occupancy achieved by
other hospitals of this type"
6. Maximum use of present
staff in all divisions likewise re-
quires scrutiny, according to the
reorganizers, who also call atten-
tion to certain staff deficiencies
in at least two categories.

West Germans Vote
Today on Rearming
Or Staying Neutral
Choices for 484-Member
Bundestoe to Decide
Attitude on Russia
By the Assoeiated Press

BONN, Germany, Sept. S.
Europe's most crucial election
campaign since World War II
ended tonight, leaving West
German voters to decide tomor-
row whether they rearm with
the West or seek neutrality in
the cold war.
The 33 million-strong elector-
ate will give its answer in voting
for a new 484-member Bundles
tag (Parliament's lower houSe)
With West Germany sthe big
prize in the EaSt-West Struggle,
the United States and Russia
have openly intervened in the
bitter campaign.
In a virtually unprecedented
move in recent American di-
plomacy, Secretary of State
John Foster Dulles gave a forth
right Endorsement to stern old
Chancellor Konrad Adenauer,
Christian Democratic leader, who
has headed a middle-road pro-
Western government for the past
four years.
MalenkOv Opposes Adenauer.
His Socialist foes Immediately
dubbed Mr.. Adenauer an Ameri-
can puppet and. hoped the
Dulles Endorsement would prove
a political kiss of DEATH"
The -77-year- Chancellor
wants to tie West Germany's
and vast industrial
resources to the free Western
world.
Soviet Premier Georgi Malen-
kov, determined to wreck Mr..
Adenauer's program of German
cooperation with the United
States and West Europe, called
for the Chancellor's defeat.
Mr.. Adenauer's main opposi-
tion is the strong Socialist Party
which wants to block any Ger
man alliance with the West and
pursue an independent German
policy in the cold war. Like Mr..
Adenauer, the Socialists are
staunchly anti Communist but
they are in favor of giving the
Russians a voice in determining
Germany's future role in inter-
national affairs.
They have placed the lure Of
a united Germany without re-
before the war-weary
German people.
The West Germans are over
whelmingly anti-C Communist and
Moscow's intervention in the
campaign fell flat. But FMf.
