too late:

tant superintendent of St. Eliza

would mean that each Of the
councils area boards would have
the volunteer services of psy-
chiatrists, psychologists, psy-
chiatric social workers, pedia-
tricians and sociologiSts.
District General Hospitals psy-
chiatric division has just decided
to set aside unit for emotion
ally disturbed girls. The division
is now working closely with the
Welfare Department to provide
diagnosis and short-term treat
ment for welfare charges. The
new psychiatric building will
have a children's ward.

The Health Departments Bu-
reau of Maternal and Child
Health and school officials have
started talking about giving the
schools some psychiatric advice
after July when a psychiatrist
may become available to the Blu

Health.
And, finally, there is the crea-
ton of a Mental Hygiene Di-
vision, as announced by Com
missioner Camalier. Whether
this division will provide the
central direction to tie all these
projects together in a concerted
program for the 5000 children

mo" Votes Spreads
The mo" votes on the re-
nomination of Mr.. Stevenson
came from 16 States and one
other territorial division. Seven
were from States of the "Solid
South" and 10 from the North
and West.
OF the nine undecided votes"
on Mr.. Stevenson, 4 came from
the South. and s from other
states.
Wide Range Of Comment
Comments Of those respond
ing to the QUESTIONABLE covered
a wide field. One Democratic
leader expressed a rather widely
held opinion. He wrote:
Unlike the Republican Party
that is clinging to one faint hope
in 1856, the Democrats have an
abundance of winning candi-
dates for the presidency"
This mans preference at the
moment was Mr.. Stevenson.
Several comments, however.
were to the effect that a new
national ticket should be pre-
sented by the Democratic Party
next year. For example: II don't
think a defeated candidate for
President can be elected If NOM
mated second time"
Another:
II think an entirely new
ticket, both the head and Vice
President, advisable. History
shows defeated nominees seldom,
if ever, are winners. Bryan and
Dewey are examples"
One party leader. pointing out
that circumstances in the future
could easily change the political
situation, wrote: II think it has
been rather evident for the past
six months that Adlai Stevenson
has been shying away from seek
ing the Democratic nomination
in 1856. At the moment my
preference is Senator Richard
B. Russell Of Georgia"
Hesitancy Hurts Stevenson
Still another, with a different
view of the situation. wrote:
"Adlai is the outstanding Dem
ocrat, but his hesitancy is against
him-also his defeat In 1852.
To me one of the first require
ment in running for any Office
is to want to serve and to put
heart and soul into it,. No one
can play hard to get for a
position so prominent as Presi-
dent of the United States. In
spite of this--as the old lady
said when she sat on a cane
bottomed chair, I do feel a draft
and I am a loyal Democrat"
One of the Democrats, who did
not wish to make a decision re-
garding candidates at this time,
wrote: "As the matter stands
today, it is my opinion that Adlia
Stevenson is the best man the
Democrats have as a candidate.
I am not committed to him, how
ever, and want to be in a posi-
ton to support a better candidate
if one should come along. The
same applies to Senator Spark
man. In my opinion the DEM
ocratic Party Is going to come

Of the transcript from last

meant by reorganization?
Mr.. Camalier: That comes
in under the proposed re-
organization, the establish
ment or creation of that
department.
Star Reporter: And what
prompted this reorganiza-
ton?

up with the strongest possible
candidates for the 1856 election,
but my crystal ball does not re-
veal the names at this early
date"
Kefauver Praised
A party leader who preferred
Senator Kefauver to Mr.. Steven
son for the presidential nomina-
ton had this to say: Gov.
Stevenson is one Of the most
brilliant spokesman for the
Observation-Disclosures cause that
we have produced in a long
time. But somehow, 1t doesn't
translate into votes. 100000
people wrote him after the 1852
election to tell him how much
they admired him. and to ex-
plain why they voted for Eisen-
hower.) Senator Kefapver Is
articulate for party principles
and programs and in addition
has q more than Is year ma
tional record of aggressive and
effective support for them. And
he is the best vote getter we
have in the party"
An important party leader
wrote: 81 am inclined to the
opinion that it is still too early
for political leaders to take a
stand for or against any candi-
date for the presidency next
year. Averell Hartman will
make an impressive record in
New York State. and If he feels
his obligations to the people of
this whole country outweigh his
obligations to the people of New
York and should become a can
didate, I would support him"
Situation Still Fluid
A veteran party leader from
the far West, who voted for the
denomination of Mr.. Stevenson
in 1852, still had the following
comments: Lots of water must
flow over the dam between now
and the summer of Sc. It may
well determine whether Ike's
popularity is still up there (where
it has been). That, in turn, will
doubtless have much to do with
Democratic selections.
Definitely. a feeling exists
among these Democratic lead
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1955-04-10

ers that the political situation
is fluid. and that changing cir
cumstances and conditions may
make for the selection Of par
ticular candidates. A strong
supporter of Mr.. Stevenson
wrote: IF the convention were
held today. I would vote for
Stevenson. How I vote in Sc,
II I have one. will depend on
conditions and circumstances"
Another wrote that If Mr..
Stevenson should marry again
1t might affect his availability.
And still another said: "As
you know. we have a very COM
plicated and delicate situation
in the South. I definitely feel
I must watch developments be-
fore being ready to make COM
ments." -.
This leader, however, gave Mr..
Stevenson as his preference can
didate for the presidential NOM
nation today.

which recommended that he
needed 24-hour treatment. that
he should be Excused" from
school and taken out Of his
home. The school did excuse him,
but wrote to the Welfare De-
partment's protective services
unit that this was IAN urgent
case" He was now out Of school
and running the streets, where
he was picked up for stealing.
He went through the Juve-
nile Court. which has its own
clinic. He was committed to the
Welfare Department. Eighteen
months later, his father pleaded
with school authorities to re-
admit the boy. School officials
investigated and found that the
boy was in the Industrial Home
School, that he had had no psy-
chiatric treatment, that his be-
havior was just as it had been
when he was attending school
only worse. So school authori-
ties notified Juvenile Court they
could not take him back and
added: 1--WE trust that treatment
may be found for this unfort-
innate boy"
Co-ordinated Effort Needed
Every person interviewed by
The Star emphasized the city's
failure to come to grips with the
problem presented by these
children. They were all aware
that the city has no money to
throw around, but they insisted
a COMMUNICATIVE plan under
central direction, winning CO.
operation from the medical
schools and psychiatrists in pri-
vate practice, would at least be
a start in meeting the needs.
Proof that volunteers will come
forward because Of the need,
that community groups will sup
port these services and that
community planning does pay off
did crop up in The Stars sur
vey. For instance:
The Eastern Branch Kiwanis
Club pays $1,000 to support a
psychiatric service for the chill
dren Of Anacostia High School,
two junior high schools and six
elementary schools in the area.
Twenty-eight volunteers, includ-
ing nine psychiatrists, four
psychiatric social workers, four
clinical psychologists, four
nurses. three stenographers and
four consultants in child psychia-
try and neurology; serve the
clinic.
PTAs Back Clinic
A smaller clinic for diagnosis
only is now operating in Mac
farland Junior High School and
serves nine other schools. Vol
unteers here include a psychia-
trist, two clinical psychologists,
two psychiatric social workers,
and nurses from schools in the
area that have nurses. Ex-
penses are paid by 10 Parent

Offers q difficult obstacle"
Nevertheless he said, "the
public should be aware that all
Of us, interested In this pressing
problem, affecting as it does, a
group Of our children, are ex-
ploring ways to obtain interim
relief to the situation"
Services Scattered.
In addition to the lack of a
treatment center for children in
need of long-term psychiatric
care. The Star survey pointed up
these other inadequacies, most
of which had also been noted in
the 1852 mental health survey:
Despite the fact that most
cities have a mental health de-
partment or bureau. the various
psychiatric services of the Dis
trict's Health Department are
scattered through the Bureau of
Disease Control. Getting these
services collected In. one division
presumably separate from dis
ease controls the reorganiza-
ton to which Commissioner
Camalier referred.
Despite the fact that through
out the country more patients
are hospitalized for mental i'll
ness than for all other illnesses
combined. there is no co-ordi-
mated. centrally-diyected pro-
gram here for combating mental
illness.
Medical Tie-up Lacking
The city is spending more than
$40 million q year to pay for
patients in st. Elizabeths Hos
pital but less than $4,000 q year
to keep emotionally disturbed
children from becoming mem
tally i'll adults.
Although the medical schools
are a prime source Of staff, none
of the Districts public PSYCHE
atric services except District Gen.
eral Hospitals psychiatric divi-
sion has any tie-up with a medi-
cal school.
There is no psychiatric team
coming into the schools on q
city-wide basis to guide teachers
in spotting true emotional dis
turbances, screening out children
whose behavior has nothing to
do with mental problems and
dealing with children who could
be Strengthened out by an under
standing teacher.
AS a result, clinic psychiatrists
report much Of their time is spent
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1955-04-10

on children who don't need psy-
chiatric help, school officials are
aware they are overlooking some
seriously disturbed children who
are too quiet to attract attention
and teachers get no help at all in
learning how to deal With chill
dren who go berserk in the class
room.
Regularly, the schools, health
and welfare departments put in
requests for more psychiatric
and psychological help but the
separate requests-lacking the
impact of combined planning
get nowhere.
The Welfare Department must
provide psychological tests be-
fore a child can be placed in
adoption. Intelligence and SIM
liar tests are also required by
some private institutions before
they will accept a child. Lack
ing q psychologist to make the
tests, welfare must pay pri-
vate center at the rate of $3.50
to $40 a child. Last year. this
cost the Welfare Department
SLABS. The department has
asked without success for its
own psychologist, not only to
make these tests but to provide
such other services as vocational
counselling.
The school system also has
asked for two clinical psychol-
ogists to strengthen its research
department, which currently has
more than 1000 children watt
ing to be tested for a variety
Of problems spotted in the school
rooms. 1t will probably be next
year before the research depart
ment reaches some of these chill
dren.
The Star survey showed that
in the patchwork of clinics that
has sprung UP because Of the
need to help these children,
some children get attention from
several clinics while others never
get the treatment they need.
Repeatedly, officials confided
that they can get children at
least diagnosed if they can pre-
sent a sufficiently dire picture of
emergency and put their request
on the basis of a personal favor.
On the other hand, several
clinic officials admitted that be-
cause of the pressures they try
to take care of too many chill
dren in too little time, or devote
an hour week to a child who
obviously needs "a hours a day
of special attention.
