6 OR WHIE SPEAKS T0 HEALTH EROUP More Persons Over 60 Suffer From Mental Diseases Than | Younger, He Says. | The proportion of persons more than 60 years old who are mentally diseased is far greater than that existing under | that age, Dr. William A. White, super- | intendent of St. Elizabeth’s Hospital, asserted last night in an address before the public health committee of the Board of Trade in the United States Chamber of Commerce Building | “If we live long enough practically all of us will experience some mental disorder.” he declared. Dr. White told of the history of the ! mental hygiene movement, which will culminate May 6, 1930, in an_interna- | tional congress to be held in Washing- | ton, just 26 years after the establish- ment of the first mental hygiene com- mittee. Dr. White recently was elected president of the congress. | Due to the great amount of mental | suffering throughout the world, there are many who prey on the sufferers, he said. but these men should be pun- | ished and not be confused with the bona fide trained physicians. Pifty-two per cent of the hospital beds in the United States are occupied by mental and nervous patients. John Shillady. administrative secretary of the congress. stated, emphasizing the jmportance of mental hygiene work. REPUBLICAN RIFT % OVER FARM RELIEF | THE SUNDAY STAR. WASHINGTON. D.

Willing to Hear Suggestions. Prior to the opening of the third day of general debate, Chairman Haw- Jey of the ways and means committee announced after a conference Wwith Representative Dickinson, Republican, | of Iowa, that the Republicans on the commiltee would hear any suggestions | from House members for changes in | the bill, and if found warranted, these | would be offered on the floor as com- mitlee amendments. Dickinson has been leading & move- | ment among Republicans from 10 West- ern States for an opportunity to offer amendments to the agricultural sched- | ule. He declared after the conferenc that the situation looked much brighter | for the farm States than it did a few days ago. An amendment rule will not be upon until some time this ‘week.
