Six Hospitals In Area Accredited The Jay counity hospital, the Clinic hospital at Bluffton, and Lutheran, Parkview, St. Joseph and Irene Byron in Fort Wayne, are the only area hospitals on the list of 3.000 in the nation which are accredited by the joint commission of accreditation. About 54.4% of the 6,000 hospitals of 25 more beds are now accredited by the joint board. Accreditations is a badge of recognition which a hospital can display to show that it conforms to high standards of patient care. Hospitals must voluntarily submit to a survey of facilities and patient care. To quality, the hospital must have a safe physical plant free from fire hazards: careful supervision and review by the medical staff of the patient care rendered in the hospital; special study by the medical staff of all unusual or complicated cases: adequate med3ical records; ethical practices; investigation of all tissue removed at operation; proper nursing care; proper administrative and medical staff organization. Omission of a hospital from the list does not necessarily mean that it does not meet all the standards, as only those hospitals which request a survey are visited. The Adams county memorial hospital is presently preparing to meet the standards required for certification. Both U.S., Russia Develop Nerve Gas WASHINGTON (UPI) — Both the United States and Russia are developing nerve gas capable of paralyzing a city’s entire population for hours, according to Pentagon officials. Assistant Army Secretary Finn J. Larsen and Lt. Gen Arthur J. Trudeau, Army chief of research and development, gave the testimony to the Senate Armed Services Committee last January. It was made public Sunday night. Larsen, civilian head of the research program, said the nerve gas makes its victims incapable of realizing what they are doing for several hours. Once the effect wears off, he said, there is no permanent injury. The Army official said the government had information indicating that Russia probably has a large stockpile of the gas. He said the United States had made considerable progress on the gas and was capable of delivering it to target with vehicles ranging from a rocket to a dronecarried tank. A nerve gas victim, Larsen said, becomes “disoriented” and “really does not know accurately what he is doing.”, James H. Woods Is President Os Class UPLAND, Ind. — James H.

Wells county sheriff Raymond Durr arrested Closson for driving under the influence.
