The reporting scientists noted that if they hadn't the opportunity to work closely with the inmates, they might haye stayed in the hospital "in definitely." As for the 29 others of th O 55: They had been in the hos pital for so long they had no "motivation" for giving up its security for the uncertainties of the outside. In other words, they were doing all right where they were, and didn't want to take chances. Facilities are Inadequate The report of Drs. Frederick Phillips and Sophia Belle May of Spring Grove State Hospital, Baltimore, Md., to the American Psychiatric Association drama tized the contention of all ment al scientists that American pub lic facilities for treating" the mentally ill are extremely in adequate. The 72 chronic mental patients In the study were all well enough to be employed in var ious jobs around the hospital. They were transferred from wards to a convalescent cottage on the grounds. The original idea was to get inmate-workers under one roof ir? order to study the hospital's work program. But this was quicltly broad ened into a study of the pa tients themselves and efforts to make them more "socially ac tive" with the view of discharg ing them. Of the 72 men, over hslf ' Aad been in the hospital longer than 10 years and 71 per cent had been in longer than five. Their ages ranged from 18 to 81 but 47 per cent were over 30. Lack f Details One of the first developments waa the lack of detailed hos pital records of those chronic patients. The charts of 26 of them had not been taken from the files of the central record room in three years. "The longer the patient was in the hospital, the less likely was the staff to know much about him," the scientists reported. They reported that the "impli cations" of this were "startling." "Fifty-five of 72 patients, or 76 per cent, no longer required hospitalization," they said, and then remarked: "How much more could exisiting hospital fa cilities achieve for the 24 per cent still requiring hospitaliza tion if time and energy were not expended on the other 76 per cent?" t f f " ' i f rf if SPEAKER The Rev.

Washington (W The west ern states topped the rest of the nation is the rate of their popu lation growth by more than two ot one between 1950 and July, 1956, the Census Bureau reports. The Po p u 1 a t ion Reference Bureau, in a separate study, said the steady pace of U. S. popula tion growth was a good sign in the cold war battle for techni cal supremacy, Birth Rate About Equal It said an overrapid rise in population would put this coun try at a disadvantage with Rus sia in this respect. The birth rate of the two countries is about equal it said, and neither faces the prospect of runaway popula tion that is plaguing many eco nomically underdeveloped na tions. The Census Bureau report said the U. S. population jump ed from 150,697,361 in April, 1950, to 168,174.000 in July 1, 1956. It estimated present popu lation at 172,400,000. The 11 Rocky Mountain and Pacific Coast states registered a combined growth rate of 23 per cent compared with the na tional average of 11 per cent. Nevada, the smallest popula ted state in the union, had the largest percentage of increase of 60.1. Its residents totalled 256, 000. Next was Arizona with 44.9 per cent; Florida, 40.2 per cent; Delaware, 31.4 per cent; and California 27.2 per cent. Largest Numerical Growth California showed the largest numerical growth, its popula tion jumping by 2,885,000 to 13 471,000, to consolidate its stand ing as the second largest state in the union. It still trails New York, whose population rose by 996,000 to a total of 15,826,000, a gain of 6.7 per cent from its 1950 total. Besides California, other states to show gains of more than a million in the six-year period were Texas, 1,233,000; Michigan, 1,208,000; Ohio, 1, 125,000 and Florida, 1,114,000. Koffa Injunction Upheld by Court Washington (IP) The U.S. Court of Appeals today upheld a lower court injunction barring James R. Hoffa from taking of fice as Teamsters Union presi dent preceding trial of charges that his election was rigged. The appellate court slightly changed the order issued Oct. 23 by U. S. District Judge F. Dick inson Letts. But it said Letts' ban on Hoffa and other newly elected officers was a "proper exercise of judicial authority." Letts had ordered the union to take no action or spend any money in violation of the 1952 teamsters' constitution. The appeals court ordered the union to overn its affairs by the 1952 constitution and said no amendments made at the union's recent Miami Beach convention should be put into effect pending the trial.
