SENATOR CHARLES JONES
RETURNS FROM CONVENTION
Senator Charles D. Jones re
turned yesterday from the Repub
lican convention and stated this
morning that unity is now the
controlling factor of the Republi
can party plans for the common
good of the Territory.
He stated that the platform
drawn was not done hastily and
much earnest effort went into its
making, however it is more or less
in skeleton form so that each Di
vision can work out its most
pressing problems.
On the subject of Statehood the
group were in unanimous agree
ment that the Statehood bill as it
now stands is not desirable.
He also stated that a full expose
will be made of the “corruption
which has gone on during the
Gruening administration.”
Mr. Jones said that the weather
was very warm in Fairbanks and
the snow practically gone in that
area.

of medical facilities being deve?
^ oped hero.
“A 400-bed tuberculosis hospi
tal, now being constructed by the
bureau of Indian affairs, a mili
tary hospital being planned for
Fort Richardson, as well as Prov
idence Hospital, a well-designed
general hospital, would be othe”
components of a major med'cal
center.”
While construction is under
l way on the A.N.S. hospital, mili
tary authorities commented that
no appropriation yet has been
made for the new station hospital
at Fort Richardson. An appropria
tion for $400,000 has been made
fo rdesigning the hospital, but ac
tual construction funds are not
expected to be forthcoming until
1952.
The committee found that of
the present general hospitals, the
Maynard-McDougall Hospital at
Nome would lend itself most read
ily to addition of a psychiatric
* unit.
“No other general hospital ap
peared to have space currently
available for such services. All
either are too overloaded, as
Providence hospital at Anchorage,
or of inadequate construction, or
both.”
Other possible locations for
acute treatment centers suggest
ed were in a contemplated addi
tion for St. Joseph’s hospital,
Fairbanks and Mt. Edgecumbe A.
N.S. hospital.
Other committee members in
cluded Dr. Dale C. Cameron, as
sistant director of the national in
stitute of mental health of the U.
S. public health service; Dr. C.
Earl Albrecht, Alaska commis
sioner of health; Dr. James Googe,
former A.N.S. medical director
and M. W. Goding of the interior
dept.
The report stated that the pres
ent method of detaining, com
mitting, transporting and treating
of Alaska residents who become
%nentally ill is highly unsatisfac
tory.
“It is archaic and utterly out of
line with present concepts and
methods of psychiatric treatment.
“No situation comparable to the
one which pertains with respect
to treatment ’of Alaska patients
exists elsewHere in the nation,”
he report concluded.
