Thomas of Macon as its new president. Thomas won a close vote in a contest for the position with H. H. Perry of Albany. Thomas 53, has served as Secretary the past 14 years. Elected without opposition were: Cullen Ward, Atlanta, vice presi dent; T. A. Jacobs, Talbotton, sec retary; and Judge J. W. Parker of Atlanta to another term as treas urer. The lawyers heard a suggestion from Dr. I. H. McKinnon, superin tendent of the Milledgeville State Hospital that judges recognize the difficult in identifying young of fenders as persons suffering from mental disorders. The science of psychiatry is be ing increasingly recognized, he said, but it often takes exhaustive testing by an expert to pinpoint an offender’s difficulties to disorders which may have arisen from child hood. McKinnon said the Milledgeville detention section for offenders is unusual among state mental insti tutions, but he has found it chal lenging. He said the hospital is recog nized as too big and too far from centers of teaching to be doing a good job and plans are under study to break it down into six hospital of 2,000 patients each. McKinnon warned that once a person has been in the hospital for 18 months he becomes forgotten by his family and friends and is like ly to be left there. He said patients respond more readily when treated in familiar surroundings close to home.
