FEDERAL SURVEY
OF MILLEDGEVILLE
HOSPITAL OPENS
By C. E. GREGORY
A scientific survey of the Mill
edgeville State Hospital by the
United States Public Health Serv
ice already is under way, Governor
Arnall announced Thursday.
The Governor conferred Wednes
day afternoon with Dr. Samuel W.
Hamilton, chief psychiatrist of the
United States Public Health Service
and director of mental institutions,
shortly after the arrival of Dr. Ham
ilton in Georgia.
Dr. Hamilton told the Governor
that he would spend as much time
as is necessary in the investigation
of the state hospital, but hoped to
complete his work in 10 days or
two weeks, before going to the State
School for Mental Defectives in
Richmond County for a similar sur
vey.
The noted psychiatrist also told
the Governor that the United States
Public Health Servioe has made
numerous surveys of the Milledge
ville institution during the past 27
years, but that last one was eight
years ago. At that time anew build
ing program was recommended. It
was carried out during the Rivers
administration six years ago.
Dr. Hamilton said he planned to
spend a day or two in Atlanta con
sulting physicians and psychiatrists
here about their impressions of the
state hospital, to get a background
viewpoint before visiting Milledge
ville, but he planned to go there
Friday or Saturday to take up his
investigation.
Governor Arnall told Dr. Hamil
ton that he desired a complete in
vestigation and a factual report on f
the state hospital.
“If the report recommends im
provements that we can not afford
to undertake as a whole at this
time, we will at least get a good
start on them,” the Governor said.
“I am anxious to place the Milledge
ville State Hospital higuer up on
the list of state institutions for the
