He continues: “In. our view the time for finesse and drawing-room politeness has passed; the Iacts| must be stated bluntly. The American people are not yet ready - for the step into outright war. because they are not yet fully awake to the extreme perils with: which both our democracies- are beset. “It is for the Amerifan people, and no-one else, to determine if, how, and when they will enter the war.

Indiana Institutions Lag in Training Methods, Mental Hygiene Group Told.

Indiana . was urged today. to “turn its back on selfish exploiters” and to develop the teaching and training in its mental hospitals “at least to the level Where 3 stood 35 years ago.” The appeal was: ‘made by: Dr. Samuel W. Hamilton, Mental Hospital Adviser to the U. S. Public

22d annual conference of the Indiana Society for Mentai Hygiene, opening - two-day sessions in Me Claypoo} Hotel. Recommending , that ‘physicians should be encouraged to study, Dr Hamilton said that only 10 of the Indiana hospital physicians are members of the American Psychiatric Association and that only three have won the diploma of the American Board of Psychiatry. ° He said that only one Indiana institution had an adequate medical library and that patients of some institutions - die - because of lack of surgery when excellent surgery is available to other persons in the same. community. Dental service, he said, ranges from very poor to not quite adequate in: some institutions and he said that only two of the institutions have a “decen} cause of death record” obtained through post mortem examinations. % He charged that there. was “very little” use of physiotherapy made in Indiana institutions for the mentally ill and that in some institutions patients’ clothing did not protect them against snow or light

by Neis at the police station later,

Patrolman Neis asked him what he was doing. . “I like to be alone; I like to read a newspaper,” he said. Hermandez told him to come along and pointed out an easier route-——a main suspension cable which has hand rails. ‘ Neis started down, Hermandez following a. few paces up. ~ They had proceeded a short way, feeling their way step by step in the semi-darkness, when Hermandez stopped and said he was going to
