INVESTIGATION OF
SANATORIUM IS
! BEING SOUGHT
Government Health Officials Asked
to. Have Inspection Made of
Pierce Hospital.

Am a. result of complaints that have
fbeen mad as to food and-housing
conditions alleged to prevail at the
Tierce sanatorium, on Terwllllger
boulevard, where - an average of 44
returned service men, tubercular pa
tients, are cared for at the expense
of the government, it ia probable
that Investigators will be sent out
from Jhe United. States public health
ervice, and make an Investigation
and report. The government allow
ance for the care of the patients ia
S4 a day.
The matter came to public notice a
few days ago. when a committee from
the Association of Fathers of Soldiers
and Sailors, generally known as the
"Daddies' club " was appointed to make
Investigation of reports that had come
to that organization of alleged Improper
conditions at the sanltoriuro. Tins com
mittee is composed of I. B. Baketel,
president of the association ; George K.
Funk, city auditor; John A.,Mears. at
torney, and W. B. Patterson, assistant
secretary. ".
r. 8. AUTHORITIES NOTIFIED
The result was that a letter was sent
by Baketel to Major Richard I Waugh,
assistant surgeon in charge of the local
United States public health service of
fice, detailing certain alleged Improper
conditions at the sanatorium, and ask-,
; ing him to take steps to have them reme
died. He then forwarded this letter,
with his recommendations, to the sur
geon general of the United States public
health service, i
Major Waugh stated - Saturday night
; that while there is no question that there
should be better sanitary facilities at
the sanatorium, he believes the returned
service men are being handled as well
as existing conditions will permit, and
that betterments will come as soon as
an adequate water supply can be piped
to the institution.
T have frequently visited the sana
torium and have talked with the pa
tients." said Major Waugh, : "and I may
say that whatever ritlcism is to be
made should be directed probably more
to the public health service than to the
managers of the sanatorium, for the
reason that the tendency has been con
stantly to urge upon the institution the
taking in of more patients. -SANATORIUM
CROWDED
'The fact Is that the average of for
mer survice men under treatment there
has been 44 while I believe there Is am
ple accommodation for 16 less than this
number. The result has been that there
has been a ruh for the use of the limit
ed sanitary facilities, the toilets and
hatha This can be obviated by thought
fulness among the patients themselves,
i "As to the food, I believe that while
it is not of great variety; it is wholesome
and as good as the average of such
institutions, j
I have forwarded the complaints to
my superiors, and have recommended
that, in view of the seriousness of the
charges made, an ' Inspection should be
had, and have suggested-that the men
sent for this purpose,- if the department
decided to make an Investigation, should
be men who have had practical experi
ence in the handling of tuberculosis
cam pa
"It is only a natural thing that men
whose homes are in Portland and vicinity
would, much prefer - to be in a sana
inrinm h.ni than to be sent ' away to
California or elsewhere. The result has
been that the public health service
authorities have tried to carry out this
wish, and that more men have been
sent out to the sanatorium than could
be given- complete accommodations un
der existing conditions."
Dr. K. A. Pierce, proprietor of the
sanatorium. declared Saturday night
that the charges are ridiculous and that
federal inspectors who have made offi
cial visits to the Institution have report
ad favorably on an extension of the
work to include vocational training. He
addressed, a telegram - to Hugh Van
Valin of the United States public health
service at Seattle Saturday night asking
.that a public health service official con
versant with 'tuberculosis hospitals be
: sent here at once to investigate.
