Veterans Groups Seek Hospital For Domiciliary Facility Acting on the assumption that the state of Oregon has aban doned the idea of acquiring Camp White army hospital for a mental institution, the state De partment of Veterans' Affairs advisory committee Is gathering forces In an effort to turn the hospital into a Veterans Admin istration domiciliary facility for war veterans of the northwest, Committee Chairman John Wal ker Jones of Milwauklc has dis closed. Jones said that the advisory committee in its recent quarter ly meeting passed a resolution urging "the governor of Oregon, other state officials and the press to join with veteran organiza tions In a concerted effort to ac quire the Camp White army hos pital at Medford for a veterans' domiciliary home." The seven-man group, compos ed of veteran organization mem bers and one public member ap pointed by the governor to over see Department of Veterans' Af fairs policy, took this move im mediately after the recent at torney general opinion ruling out the possibility of the state's ac quiring the hospital. Members stressed the fact that there have been no veteran do miciliary facilities in the north west since before World War II, and that Oregon years ago turn ed Its own veterans' home in Roseburg over to the Veterans Administration, which Is still us ing It as a hospital. Other proponents already have been able to get a bill into con gress which would establish Camp White as a veterans' do miciliary home with hospital fa cilities. The efofrts of all Influ ential groups In Oregon will be needed to secure passage of this bill. Jones declared. Other advisory committee members concurring In the res olution were Robert W. Bryant, Roland VV. Davis, Ray Dorris, Carl F. Freilinger and Harry V. Reed.
