CAREFORDRUNKS OF Y SOUGHT Bill to Be Drafted Asking Funds to Treat Men Often Arrested. Legislation to permit lengthy con- finement and treatment of habitual drunks and narcotic addicts at the District Workhouse at Occoquan, Va., will be drafted by Corporation Coun- sel Prettyman at the request of Com- misisoner Hazen. The bill will go to Congress in January with request for adoption, under present plans. The plan was suggested some weeks ago by Commissioner Hazen after studying figures of the number of re- peaters who are sent to the work- house for intoxication. Some had been sent there as many as 50 times. The subject came up for discussion yesterday afternoon when Capt. M. M. Barnard, general superintendent of penal institutions, appeared before the Commissioners; Roland M. Brennan, secretary to the board, and Budget Officer Daniel J. Donovan, on esti- mates of the penal institutions for the next fiscal year. It was decided to ask for legisla- tion rather than to insert an item in the 1937 budget for the purpose. That would come later if Congress approves the plan. One or two dormitories would be erected on land at the Occoquan farm for housing the liquor and drug ad- dicts. What the cost would be, or how many would be the average num- ber of patients has not been esti- mated. One suggestion before the commis- sion is to have a medical board to pass | on patients to determine when they | are cured and ready for release, | VANCE M'CAULLEY DIES | FROM BULLET WOUND Yale Graduate of 1928 “Declared Suicide in New York Apartment.

Additions to the Children’s Tu- berculosis Sanatorium at Glenn Dale, ‘Md., which will approximately double the bed capacity of the institution, are expected to be completed about November 15 and ready for use early | in January. Word to this effect was given the Board of Public Welfare yesterday by Dr. Daniel Leo Finucane, superin- tendent, in his annual report. The present building was opened September 17 of last year, with 16 patients. A peak of 141 patients was reached last February. The rated ca- pacity is 160, but, after construction of additions was started, four wards again began to diet and fast to please her husband, but “Zreatly weakened,” according to the suit, she soon re- paired to a physician who prescribed a more nourishing diet. This. she said, she was compelled to eat surrep- titiously. | “Immediately thereafter the plain- tiff's condition improved materially,” the suit states.

Finally, with their | | 7-year-old daughter, she went to live | with her sister. She asks alimony and custody of | the child. I having facilities for 20 patients were closed. The additions consist of two wings to the main building, a wing to the Nurses’ Home and a sewage- disposal plant. They were made pos- sible by $400,000 appropriation last year. Work started last February 11. Dr. Finucane pleaded for establish- ment of a playground for children and an increase in personnel for the hospital, which, he said, now is in- adequate. His staff, he said, has worked overtime and make many racrifices, “but cannot keep up their present pace indefinitely.” Plans for playground facilities have been prepared and are being offered as & work relief project, Dr. Finucane revealed. Officials are asking a rec- reational director. The Variety Club of Washington was praised for pro- viding a sound motion picture ma- chine for recreation for the patients, — Fall Kills Socialite.
