Maw said this week. The state welfare commission earlier in the week had discus.-ethe possibility of securing the site, buildings and facilities of the huge army general hospitai, and using it to house the American Fork training school, the state hospital now at Provo, and the state miners hospital. It was pointed out that the hospital, declared surplus by the army medical corps and not wanted by the Veterans administration, probably could be secured very reasonably, and possibly without cost, by the state. A 1,400-be- d surplus army hospital was sold to Missouri recently for $1.

The simplest procedure in areas covered by VA contact offices is for veterans desirinb treatment to personally contact the representatives there and let them handle the whole thing. In emergencies a member of the veterans family should immediately call the contact office This should for instructions. be done in all cases, regardless of the nature of the ailment, to insure that veterans get the benefits they are entitled o.

If Bushnell is secured by the state, it is planned that the state industrial school at Ogden be moved to the American Fork training school's present location. The condition of the buildings and facilities at the Ogden school long have been a major matter of state concern, and several of the buildings at Provo housing the state mental hospital have been condemned. Up to noon yesterday, Gov- ernor Maw had said nothing regarding his plans to call a special session of the legislature, but unless a special session is called the Bushnell matter cannot be placed on the November election ballot, and decision on the move must wait until the legislature acts in 1949. It was reported yesterday the governor had addressed letters to leadng health, labor, social and civic groups pointing out that the facilities at the state industrial school and several other slate institutions are inadethat a quate and suggesting transfer of one or more to Bushnell might prove to be desira- ble,. The letters urf.o that the groups appoint rpresentatives to a committee which would investigate the feasibility of such 3 jnpre possible.-- ' sup Governor Maw said he tiad asked the Veterans administration (which has first priority on the armys surplus hospitals, including Bushnell) to freeze' the hospital until the state could make a careful investigation of its facilities. Meanwhile, Earl Madsen, secretary of the Box Elder Chamber of Commerce, denied rumors in circulation that the heating plant at Bushnell would be a handicap to the state's obtaining and operating the plant. The rumor was to the effect that the entire heating plant of the hospital had to be operated full blast for efficiency, and that in order to heat any part of the large, rambling establishment, all parts of it must be heated. Bushnell is heated by five boilers, Madsen declared. The boilers operate separately and One apart from each other. can be operated, or the entire five. A series of valves make it simple to heat any portion of the hospital without wasting heat in any othPr part. Madsen said Bushnells heating system was the most efficient obtainable, and was one of the establishments many advantageous features.
