i ,;1 I ! 11' ii ! PAGE TWELVE Hospital Bill Defeated , By Senate By Isabel Childs City Editor. The Statesman By a vote of 18-13, the senate Wednesday killed a bill to refer to the people a plan to build a 100 bed psychopathic hospital in Mult nomah County. Two of those votes, taken fol "lowing more than an hour's de bate, , were last-minute change overs. That of Sen. W. E. Burke, Yamhill, was apparently adjusted to make up for. a slip of the ton gue, and after Burke's "no" had given the! opponents of the meas ure a majority, Sen. -Thomas Ma honey, Multnomah county, chang ed his so that later in the day he might serve notice he would today ask for reconsideration. Proponents declared the hospi tal is needed in the county where half the state's population is gath ered because of growing - indicar tions that much of the so-called crime committed there is the re sult of mental confusion. Consid erable money which might be ex pended in penal institutions would be saved the state by establish ment of a hospital for treatment of such cases, they maintained. ' The only means left open for i building of such hospital outside of Marion county or away from the Pendleton hospital is by re ferring the question to the people nd such reference would have to mention the proposed location, they contended. The opposition declared that when such a hospital is built, ad mitting it will probably be -needed in Multnomah county, it should be part of a planned building pro gram and might well be a division of the state's medical center (the U. of O. medical school) in Port land. This would require no reference to the voters, but eventually would " have to go through the ways and means committee of the legislature, which Sen. Walter J. Pearson, the debated bill's spon sor, declared had been purposely avoided with this measure.

UP) Award on a navy contract for 8 aircraft escort carriers to the Vancouver shipyard will not make any difference in the; predicted decline of employment In the Portland - Vancouver area, the war manpower commission said today.
