Show Proper Care of Insane Veterans Is Demanded Knactmont of stale laws to facili- , t.r.e the commitment of insane World j war veterans, to veterans' bureau hos-pi.als hos-pi.als is being urged by the national rehabilitation committee of the American Amer-ican Legion at Washington. Members of the committee point out that proper Pare and possible cure of insane veterans is being prevented by well-meaning but misinformed relatives, rela-tives, who take the veterans under treatment from the hospitals before satisfactory improvement or cure has been accomplished. Under present laws the commanding officers of the hospitals have no right to prevent a patient's removal. The laws would allow legal commitment and would assure that everything possible would ht- done to bring about a cure, the Legion Le-gion ollicials maintain. |
