"In the case of the Marion hospital, we did compel them to improve their service, to add to the personnel and to make for better conditions general ly. They have done It and there is an improvement.” Pay for Each Patient "We pay them an allowance for each patient.” he explained. “We did spend some money there to provide for this service, but now we pay in accordance with the number of patients.” Other officials of the Veterans Bureau insisted that Dr. William

Mac Lake, commandant, had a "perfect right” to 'refuse permission of investigators to look into conditions at the hospital although they added that “had they been in his place” they would have invited an inquiry’.

"Every patient is invited to tell anything he desires to tell and our men get all the information they can.” POLICE GET NEW TIRE Colored Man Runs When Police Approach.
