C. PITNER REPORTS Only Solution to Confine Patients to Those in Need of Treatment. A net saving of $14,028.37 dur ing the first six months of 1935 from operation of the abattoir at the Milledgeville State Hospital was reported by the State Board of Control at its meeting Friday in Atlanta, W. C. Pitner, member of the board from the Tenth dis trict, revealed today. The abattoir began operation the first of the year and the fig ures annouwnced showed 'the amount of money saved as compared with the same length of time when the meat supplies for the State Hos pital were purchased. Mr. Pitner algo rgvealed that all of the other state institutions under the Board of Control are in good financial shape with the ex ception of the State Hospital. The hospital is operating under a deficit due to the fact that there are 6,315 patients in the hospital and 813 others on furlough, mak ing a total of 7,128 patients, and the fact that food prices have shown enormous increases. [(Cited as an example of the increase in food prices is that meat, which formerly cost from 4 to 5 cents per pound, has risen to 19 cents per pound. All other food prices have risen in proportiom, EERET LA - Mospital Crowded ] Another hindrance to the hos pital operating without a deficit' is the fact that it is crowded to capacity, handling far more pa tients than it was ever intended to care for, ¥ o] It seems that many of the pa tients at the hospital are really only feeble-minded and that hos pitalization will do them no good and that in some cases the pa tients really should be in some nursing home or home for the aged. Cases of this type, it was pointed out, are not suicidal, vio lent or homicidal in nature and as long as they remain in the hos pital, they are making it impos sible to take care of patients who would gain real benefits from hos pitalization.

WIMBLEDON, ENG.,—{(#)—En gland won the coveted Davis Cup— Emblematic of the world’s tennise supremacy—for the third straight time today when the new doubles combination of George Patrick Hughes and .C.

The victory gave England the neces—i sary third win in the five match series. ‘ The Britons' victory was the final crushing blow to America's hope of recapturing the cup lost' to France in 1927. The first blow was delivered Saturday when H. W. (Bunny) Austin pulled out a five set victory over Allison in a singles match in which the veteran Texan wag favored. England then went two up as the celebrated Fred J. Perry con quered the young and formidable Don Budge of California, in 4 sets, which saw the Pacific coast phenom force the world’s amateur champion to play his best game at times. The veteran team of ‘Allison and Van Ryvn, winners of the all- England doubles title in the past, was highly favored to take Hughes and Tuckey, mainly because the Britons had never played together before in Cup competition. Instead they found out quickly they were up against a formidable pair.

MINOR MATTERS UP Senator Vandenburg Calls Tax Plan Hoox; Seeks’ Postponement. WASHINGTON. —(#)—Congress swung back into thg work routine today, with taxes and lobbying the prime subjects for discussion. Committee work furnished the big news for the time being, for the senate and house were busy on minor or regional legislation.

In addition, the laborite news paper said, there would be 63 new flotilla. leader destroyers, 21 new submarines and three new aircraft carriers, Sir Bolton Eyres-Monsell, first Lord of the Admiralty, had told the house of commons that publi cation of the program would “be against the interests of the public and the peace of the world.” The Herald, however, gaid it was disclosing ‘“‘the admiralty’s fa mous ‘hush-hush’ plan which al ready has been communicated to 'the admiralties of the United States, France, Germany, Italy and IJapan." ) EXPRESS INTEREST WIASHINGTON, —@#)— Navy quarters today expressed interest in a London Daily Herald article which said Britain plans to buiid almost a complete new battle fleet'by 1942 at a cost of $7650,000,000. Some naval men gaid they were reluctant to believe the British admiralty planned such a move. It was said that it would mean the danger of a world-wide building race would be increased. The suggestion was made that perhaps the craft referred to in the London newspaper are paper ships which might be used to bargain with other naval power at some future conference on limitation of sea armaments.
