New Mental
Health Bureau
Psychiotric Service
To Druft District
Program Suggested
BY MIRIAM GUTENBERG

Health Officer Daniel L. Seek
niger today formally recon-
mended creation of a new
bureau of psychiatric services
to work out a comprehensive
mental health program for the
District.
DR.. Seckinger made the pro-
posal in a letter to Commits
sioner Renah F. Camalier. He
had earlier advised the Com
missioner that he was working
on a reorganization plan which
he expected to have ready by
June /.
The STAR in a recent survey
of the lack of adequate services
for emotionally disturbed chill
dren, pointed out that the Health
Departments psychiatric serv-
ices are now scattered through
the bureau of disease control
without central direction.
1t was also noted in the sur
vey that no effort has been made
by health officials to work out
cooperative arrangement with
the medical schools or with
other community agencies deal
ing with mental health.
Further Unification Asked
DR.. Seckinger, in his letter to
Commissioner Camalier, noted
that he had earlier proposed a
division of psychiatric services,
merging the division of legal
psychiatric services and the men,
tai health division. He said he
was now proposing further uni
fication by including the alco-
holic rehabilitation division.
He added that he was also
recommending that these sepa-
rate units be reorganized into a
bureau. This would give mental
health equal status with such
other Health Department bu-
reaus as disease control and
maternal and child health.
DR.. Seckinger wrote that the
change in the alcoholic rehabili-
tation program has been dis
cussed with the Commissioners
Advisory Committee on the
alcoholic clinic and with the
present chief of the alcoholic
rehabilitation division. who agree
that the proposed indignation is
desirable.
1T is believed" the health of
f1cer wrote, that the consolida-
ton of the various psychiatric
services into an organized pro-
gram is an essential preliminary
step to working out of a co-ordi-
mated program with District Gen.
eral Hospital.
Relationship to Be Developed
This will be followed by de-
veloping working relationship
with the medical schools, other
District agencies and the COM
munity.'
Commissioner Camalier said
he wanted to make a thorough
study of the proposal for a bu-
reau. He said he will call a meet
ing of representatives of the
medical schools. the Commission
ers' Health Advisory Committee.
the District Mental Health Asso-
citation and other community
leaders for their reactions.
Since a bureau would change
the structure of the Health De-
partment under reorganization.
it would have to be acted on by
the fuil beard Of Commissioners.

the field of race relations. He
also remarked that school Segre-
cation exists in fact although not
in law in many places in the
non-South and the problem is
not entirely in the South.
Mississippi Situation
In a discussion which followed,
Frederick Sullens, of the Jackson
(MissD Daily News, told the edi-
tors he was afraid many of them
do not realize Mississippi will not
obey the Supreme Court decision.
IF efforts are made to put
Negro children into white schools
there will be bloodshed," he said,
land the stain of that blood will
be on the white marble steps Of
the Supreme Court"
He said the court had not ruled
on the law but had legislated on
social problem in an opinion
written by "a man no one had
suspected Of being q jurist."
Chief Justice Warren wrote the
courts unanimous decision.
The basis of the Mississippi
opposition, he explained, Is that
desegregation would lead to
mixed marriages.
A. M. Piper Of the Council
Bluffs Qowa) Nonpareil re-
marked that he had never seen
a Negro at the ASNE conventions
and that beginning of desegre-
cation might be made there.
ASNE James s. Pope said most
Negro newspapers are weeklies
and he believed there had never
been an application for member
ship from a Negro editor.
Continuing their shop talk,
the editors heard a panel discus
sion on How must we change
to progress?"
William p. Steven, Minneap-
oils Star and Tribune. who pre-
sided. raised the question whether
newspapers are news starved"
He said that generally news
papers are printing less news to-
day than formerly because Of
more space given TO pictures,
features and other content. He
said 1t was up to the editors to
needle" their publishers for
more space for news.

Tunnel Project
Bridge Is Favored,
Budget Bureau Told

The District Commissioners
today recommended against
Budget Bureau support of pro-
posed legislation to substitute a
tunnel for the Constitution ave-
nue. bridge Congress already has
authorized.
The city heads report sent to
the Budget Bureau this morning.
was in response to bureau re-
quest for comment on proposed
tunnel legislation submitted by
the Interior Department.
Fear Additional Costs
1t was understood the Com
missioners' report commended the
bridge was authorized after long
study, while there is not full
agreement among experts on a
tunnels feasibility. City officials
also are concerned about taking
a risk that the District might be
saddled with additional costs.
The Interior proposal Is that
the Federal Government pick I'D
the tab for the difference be-
tween the cost of a bridge and a
tunnel, estimated at $28 million
The bridge and approaches were
authorized at a cost of SPAS mil
lion, to be paid by the District.
Generally, the District report
backs up previous positions taken
by city officials-that Congress
has authorized the bridge and
that the city is going to stand
pat on that mandate until Con-
gress tells it to do something diff
ferent.
Support for Tunnel
The Federal Fine Arts Com
mission has lined up with Inte-
rior officials in support of the
tunnel, contending that the
added Federal expense is war
ranted in order to get rid of a
bridge which would mar esthetic
values of the monumental Lin
coin Memorial area.
Representative Broyhill. Re-
publican, of Virginia, has told
the Budget Bureau he would not
support the tunnel move, and has
questioned that Congress would
be willing to spend $28 million
for the esthetic purpose.
District officials. meanwhile,
repeatedly are ready to let con-
tract to an engineering consult

required for he authorized

sands of hockey fans went on
a seven-hour rampage of de-
struction and footing last night
in the worst demonstration Mon

ISLANDERS. Their demonstration
continued long after a game at
the Forum between the Montreal
Canadiens and Detroit Red
Wings was called off at the end
of the first period. Detroit, lead
ing Al when the playing
stopped, was declared winner of
the contest. The victory put
the Red Wings in first place
by two points over the Cana

The mob went completely out

hundreds of police and f1remen.
The mob toppled some corner
