1884 who should be working.
Each attendant handles more
than eight patients instead Of
the five recommended.
Ward attendants begin their
training at the rate of $1,000
q year, increased to $2.100
usually at the end Of about
six months. After flve years,
a ward attendant gets $3.50.
This is based on a 48-hour
week.
Nurses Poy
Nurses begin at $2.760 and
reach 1892 after four years.
The scale goes up for other
nursing positions to the top
level of $6.148 for a nursing
superintendent after four
years.
The question Of what 10 do

was taken under consideration
last week by the State Per-
sonnel Division. It will make
a survey Of Central State

year was 22.3 per cent.

swers there that will apply
to the other six institutions
these principal questions: %
Why is the turnover rate so
high? % Would salary in
creases help solve the prob
lem?
In the face of this, the

DR.. Barrett has said he
would like to use all the
money available to increase
salaries, If that is necessary to
attract more employees, even
if it means he can't get the
900 additional workers con-
templated by the General As
sembly.
But a decision will have to
wait until the State Personnel
Division completes its study.
Gov. Stanley has indicated he
would give the divisions
recommendations sympathetic
attention. Whether he will
raise salaries is another ques-
ton.

The legislators are satisfied
that it would be folly to

are not persuaded Of the need

Most of the new Prince

in many respects. They con-
tend that as long as there is

Consequently, since July /

The State Division Of Per-

the Virginia quota of TT

that each Of the 48 doctors

patients instead of "a recon-
mended by the APA.
In the field of nursing, Vir-

District
Trouble Due
From Foes of
lntegrution
BY Hector Mclean

The Districts Eisenhower
selected administration u try
Ing hard to evaluats the storm
signals run UP over the HOUSE
District Committee recently
by Representative James c.
Davis, Democrat. Of Georgia.
What they may mean in the
way Of political trouble for the
District over the next two years
is something they haven't yet
figured out.
Once again the trouble Is
over a racial issue: specifically,
the Commissioners order Of
last August 80 w!ping out seq
regation in the District Fire
Department.
Obviously, the order was
carefully timed TO avoid repe-
tition Of the congressional in
reference by which Mr.. Davis
and others blocked Q previous
attempt to integrate the de-
partment. It was issued only
after adjournment Of the 83d
Congress.
When the new Congress as
sembled. however. the ex-judge
from Stone Mountain, Ga. an
outspoken foe Of integration,
set out to try to upset the
order. Last February 8 he In
troduced a bill-HR 3753--to
rescind the Commissioners ac-
ton.
Its chances of passage are
nil, since Congress is-and has
been for several years-unable
TO legislate on racial questions.
This Is because neither side
has sufficient strength polit-
ically to put across its meas
ures.
At the same time, each side
has power enough to block any
moves by its opponents, al
though In the case Of FEPC
legislation 1t has been neces-
sary for the Southerners to re-
sort to the final weapon Of
f1libuster in the Senate.
Effect Of Stoiemote
It Is this fact Of congress
sional stalemate that has left
the courts and the administra-
ton free to act on issues which
Congress might otherwise make
IT'S sole concern.
Although numerous bills are
introduced to maintain or re-
establish racial segregation
where 1t has been wiped out by
the other two branches Of
Evening star., 1955-02-27

Government, they are almost
never heard from again.
This time. however. the situ-
alton is different. Mr.. Davis,
serving his fifth term in Con-
gress, is a veteran Of the House
District Committee, and, under
Democratic control of the
House, is chairman Of the
subcommittee on police and
fire department matters-to
which his bill was referred.
Within two weeks after in
Producing the measure he had
held two hearings on it, giving
aggrieved members of the Fire
Department a chance to ex-
plain publicly how unhappy
they are with integration.
Where Mr.. Davis can 60
from there, however, is uncer-
tain. Odds on getting his bill
through the House proper are
so long they'd make a book
makers eyes light up like Ro-
man candles.
Scont Chonce for Report
Even with heavy Southern
Democratic representation on
the District Committee, as a
matter of fact. the gentleman
from Georgia doesn't have
much chance of getting the
bill out of committee.
It's even q question whether
he can get 1t out Of the sub
committee.
For their part, the Commits
sioners certainly won't retreat
on the issue. in view of the
Presidents avowed dstermi-
nation to wipe out the last
vestige" Of segregation in the
District.
The question for them, then,
is to what extent can MIR. Da-
Wis and his supporters on the
House District Committee
hamstring the city's legislative
program during this Congress
if they want to go to such
an extent to retaliate over Fire
Department integration?
Fortunately for the Com
missioners. their legislative
program this year is not too
vital, although there are sew
eral items they'd like to have
chiefly, a revision Of the
Districts Civil Defense Act.
Critical problems, however,
could come in support - or
lack of it-for appropriation
of the full Federal payment
toward the cost Of running the
District during the fiscal year
1855.
The most serious squeeze,
though. could come when the
Commissioners try to get the
District Committees approval
of the tax increases, with per-
haps a boost in the Federal
payment, which are conceded
to be inevitable if Congress
raises the pay Of any District
employees.
Then it Is that the cost Of
Fire Department integration
may be measured in dollars
and cents.

Mental hospitals-tradition-

toward piling up . 81 million
surplus by the end Of the cur
rent biennium.
This b o situation that on
the face OF 1t looks extremely
healthy. The reverse Is true.
The outlook Il cause for
grave concern for DR.. Joseph
Z. Barrett, commissioner OF
mental hygiene, Arlington
State Senator Charles r. Fen
wick, who has led the move
ment In the General Assembly
to improve the lot Of mental
patients, and others who have
been fighting the hospital bat
tie for years.
They fear the picture may
mislead some lawmakers, when
they return to Richmond next
January, into thinking that
the 1854 Legislature appropri-
ated 81 million more than was
needed.
Nothing could bs further
from the truth.
The cold fact Is that the last
LEGISLATURE set up increases Of
about 81 million for each year
of the biennium. mainly for
additional employees. but more

in the seven mental inStitu-

Heovy Turnover
At Eastern State Hospital In
Williamsburg. for example. the
turnover was 61.1 per cent.
During the first half Of the

cent of employees already have
quit.
This means that they are
replaced with newer inexper-
fenced personnel and at
generally lower salaries for
beginners.
The extra funds set UP by
the Legislature were enough
to provide about 800 more
employees. but because Of the
rapid turnover a net gain
