Inadequate Staining
Grossly inadequate staining

havior with tranquilizing drugs.
Forty Of the 02S geriatric
patients receive group psyche
therapy twice q week. There is
no physical therapy available.
There is no occupational or
recreational personnel assigned
here.
In one ward of SO aged
patients, % need physical as
sistance in arising, walking,
dressing and eating. THE one
nurse and one aide who give
daily care to these patients are
unable to give tub baths to all

business would demand.
Their food intake is de-
pendent upon the gratuitous

ut Is our considered opinion
that atsleast so per cent of the

dent in the Geriatric Service
could adjust with equal (ol
perhaps better) ease in a we'll

The committee visited the
Geriatrics Service one night
at dinner time. "A number OF
patients, handicapped in one
way or another, were making
awkward attempts to feed
themselves, and were spilline
food on themselves and their
surroundings . Several pa

up to tables, had slipped into

He conceded, however, that

committee is guided by the
conviction that the st. Eliza
beths must be q prominent
rather than an average psy-
chiatric hospital.
In accordance with modern
concepts, a leading psychiatric
center must fulfill three card
inal functions: to give service
to the patient, to train profess
sional personnel. and to pro-
vide facilities for research"
A deficiency in one impairs
the levels Of the effectiveness
of the others, the group noted.
st. Elizabeths has a budget
Of about SIT million for the
current fiscal year, Of which
about $12.5 million is expected
to be paid for by the District.
Nearly $3.5 million will come
from direct Federal appropria-
tons and over 81 million from
other sources, including the
Veterans Administration and
other Federal agencies whose
beneficiaries are patients at the

Washington as an observer. but

Idea for Survey
The idea Of the survey came
from Or. Winfred Overholster.
superintendent of st. Eliza
beths, who presented 1t 10 the
Department Of Health, Educa-
tion and Welfare, under whose
jurisdiction the hospital comes.
The committee members were
selected by DR.. Overholser with
the approval Of HEW and the
District Commissioners. DR..
Overholser said yesterday the
committee was instructed to
''call the shots any way 1t saw
them" He added. and the COM
mittee confirmed. that visits to
the hospital were always made
with no advance notice.
The group 'in general" con-
Cured with estimates previ-
ously made by DR.. Overholser.
His study called for an increase
of personnel from the present
ceiling Of 2.775 to 4.546 ito

work and service demands"
The report blasted the ad-
mission service, declaring that
''it became apparent that pre-
ecribed procedures and super
visory conferences :. had been
largely abandoned because
physicians were overburdened
by a variety Of duties"
1t pointed out that although
some Of the patients were
treated with only recently in
troduced potent phenothiazine
derivatives (tranquilizers) no
observational records were kept
nor were progress notes writ
ten."
THE senior physician con-
ceded the fact that he had
been unable to induce resi-
dents to write progress notes
at the prescribed intervals. He
attributed his difficulties to
staff shortages as well as to
inadequate supervision.
The report cited difficulties
in diagnoses. Requests for
neurological examinations by
consultants wait UP to six
months. Laboratory studies
are often not complete and
available before therapy is
started.
There is only one physician
on duty between 5 pm. and
8 am. covering the entire in

termed the hospital grossly un-
derstafied and in need Of more
funds.
Mr.. Karrick declared that. II
understand and sympathize
with the natural enthusiasm Of
psychiatrists for any program Of
betterment. for they do not
have the same responsibility for
providing the necessary funds.
The Commissioner spoke on
the -Four Corners News pro-
gram over WRC-TV.
Doubts ANY Saving
Mr.. Karrick also discouraged
any idea of q District only
mental institution saying that
it would cost Washington just
as much II not more anyway.
He mentioned the new Bu-
reau Of Mental Health saying
that he doubted it would save
money or reduce the number

Asked about q section Of the
report which said many pa

age) section Of st. Elizabeths
could better be placed in a
well-run nursing home, the
Commissioner again expressed
doubts about the advisability
of the District establishing such

Day said Mr.. Mawyer had

and that 'she became awfuIly

Mrs. Colt Blamed
A different version Of the
relationship came, however,
from Mr.. Mawyer's sister, Mrs.
Margaret Mullican Of Durwood
Nd, who said 1t was his
mother-in-law and not his wife
who had the bitter feeling
against Mr.. Mawyer.
Mrs. Mullican said Mrs. Colt
opposed the marriage and
caused the young couple tc

pecting to have his wife and

Mayor Bendheim said Mrs

marriage. He said the marriage
was performed on February 8
during the four-month waiting
period for the final divorce from
his first wife, Peggy.

that Mr.. Mawyer and his wife
were estranged.
When the motorist, mrs.
Charlene Travis Of Is West

1:l2 am. she thought Mawyer
was q trafic victim.
Then. Or. John A. Sims,
State medical examiner, per-
formed an autopsy and found
the victim died Of a shooting.
DR.. Sims said the fatal bullet
entered Mr.. Mawyer's left
chest. glanced Of his second
right rib. passed through his
right lung and lodged under
his right shoulder. A second
bullet creased his stomach,
from left to right.
Describes Shooting
When police returned to the
Colt home in mid-morning
yesterday, Sergt. johnson said
Mrs. Colt gave this account:
She and her daughter, Kay,
were watching television and
preparing q bottle for Kay's
baby when Mrs. Colt heard q
noise in the back yard. She
thought 1t was an intruder and
fired three or four shots
through the back porch screen
window Eat the noise"
She heard footsteps running
away and figured she had
frightened on the intruder but
had not hit him.
Police recovered from Mrs.
Colt q rs caliber automatic
which. police said, matched the
slug recovered from the vic
TINS chest.
No neighbors reported hear
ing any shots fired. Mrs. Colts
husband; her other daughter.
14-year-old Day, and her son,
Roger, jr., were asleep.

to the story of the shoot

ing referred to the Medical
Service so late that their con-
dition became irreversible.
The committee. in speaking
Of the pharmacy, declared:
"With only two registered
pharmacists for the entire in
stitution (which has a total Of
over 1000 patients), q most
serious and potentially dam
gerous situation exists"
Eight sub-pharmacies have
been set up, each under the
control Of nursing supervisors.
"The pharmacists are greatly
concerned that they are unable
to inspect and supervise these
sub pharmacies. They recognize
that potentially dangerous
drugs are being dispensed by
people who by their training
and qualifications should not
have this responsibility"
The X-ray department is well
equipped. But, q file clerk is
needed to file films properly and
Il to set up q cross index for

The Social Service Depart
ment, because "the number Of
social workers is completely in
sufiicient" to meet the needs,
takes only urgent cases.
Lack Of Resource
There is a tragic lack of
resource for follow-up care and
psychotherapy for released pa
tients. The Family and Child
Welfare Agency has a waiting
list Of one year. and The Mental
Hygiene Clinic has accepted
three cases in the year past
only with the understanding
that no reports back to st.
Elizabeths would be called for. :"
There are 16 employees in the
Occupational Therapy Division
providing about 10 per cent of
the potential need for such
services.
Because the medical staff has
become SO begged down with
work that should be performed
by others. the committee noted
there is little time or incentive
for research.

One Major Setback :.
The Governor suffered one
serious setback. This was his
last chance to get through a
measure to reorganize the
lower court system in Balti-
more City. The bill that would
have called for a referendum
on the organization died in the
Senate. City Senators were
split down on the proposal.
The Governor also expressed
concern over "the distressing
reduction" made by the Legis-
lature in his recommendations
for public health and welfare
spending.
"All things considered, we
again have demonstrated the
vigor, force and feasibility Of
our democratic form of gov
ernment," the Governor said.
Yesterdays session, despite
an advance uneasiness. went
of without a hitch. Some
leaders had feared that sales
tax opponents would make a
last minute effort to throw a
monkey wrench into the re-
enactment session.
Squeaks Through
The sales tax bill, however,
squeaked through both houses.
The Senate first passed it by
a Is to IL vote, one vote more
than necessary for its passage.
A few minutes later, the
House got a real scare when the
electric voting board showed
the tally at So votes for the
bill. four short of the 81 con-
stitutional majority required.
The board, however, was left
running until five votes were
switched. The bill was enacted
by a So to 81 count.
No other measure ran into
difficulty.
The Legislature also appro-
priated up to SIS, 900 to pay the
costs Of the special session.
Gov. McKeldin, in his final
message to the Assembly, also
hailS4 its passage of the States
first anti-billboard measure.
