Governor Asked to Protest
On Behalf of War Vets;
Obligation Cited by
Senator Fisher.
State Senator Walter S. Fisher
of Douglas county announced this
morning that he is communicating
with Governor Charles H. Martin
urging the governor to make Imme
diate protest on behalf of the vet
erans of the state of Oregon against
the ordered conversion of the u.
S. veterans administration facility
here Into an institution for neuro
psychiatry cases.
The governor will be asked to re
quest the veterans administration
to modify Its order and provide ad
ditional facilities, rather than make
a conversion of present units.
Senator Fisher's plan Is based
on the fact that veterans of south
ern Oregon and northern Califor
nia, now provided with hospital
and domiciliary service by the In
stitution at Roseburg, will be left
without needed car or resources
in emergencies.
Obligation Implied.
The fact that the stnte of Ore
gon formerly maintained domicil
iary and hospital service for its
veterans, and deeded the state In
stitution to the federal government
as a part of the two million dollar
facility here, Implies an obligation
on the part of the federal govern
ment to maintain hospital and bar
racks units at Roseburg, Senator
Fisher contends.
While N-P facilities In connec
tion with the Institution at Rose
burg are desirable. Fisher said.
they should be added to the pres
ent institution, with existing ser
vices remaining unchanged.
Fisher is preparing, ho said, to
draw up briefs, setting forth datn,
relative to the need for continua
