SIDELIGHTS FROM
WASHINGTON

An Intelligent national effort to
do something about -preventing
and curing mental diseases, has
been long overdue. A few days a-
go the House passed a littlenoaic-
within the Public Health Service
of the National Institute in the
field of mental dlaeaae, and to a
program of co-operation with the
states and with public and private
hospitals 'and institutions.
The mentally ill have been con-
fined in publiq and private institu-
tions, but no determined and su-
stained great national effort has
evfer*been made to find the cure
for mental Illness and, to discover
methods of prevention. _ The em-
phasls should be upon a cure for-
^mental patients, and not merely
upon confinement in institutions
as too often has been the case in
the past.
Here are some of the striking
facts. More than one-half ,of all
hospital beds in America are oc-
cupied by mental patients. The
American people, through public
arid private channels, are spend-
ing about a quarter billion dollora
anhtiaiy care Tor mental p*"
tients, but only a, small fraction oif
that amount ia being spent for
research in the field of preven-
tion and cure." \ ..
During -World War II, 1?760,00Q
men were rejected for military
service because of mental illness. -
Members of the medical * profeaa-
ion have pointed out that medical
collegea in the past have placed
Inadequate emphaala on aubjecta
having to- do with mental lllneaa;
there Is a scarcity of speclallata
in this field of medical science.
The bill is endorsed by outstand
Ing members of th medical pro-
fession and by the American Med-
ical Aaaoeiation, the American Le-
gion and numerous organizations.
The Medical profession and those
of ua who oppoae to-called social--
ized medicine feel that the bill is
in keeping vftth' the best Ameri-
can medical" traditions.
It is felt that the Senate- will a-
gree with the Houae, pass the bill
and send it to the' President for
his approval. "T >-
