Duncan, the new represent ative from Oregon's fourth district, describes the Veter ans Administration briefing as the best received since he became a member of Con gress. Understand Reasons "I can understand fully the reasons why you prefer to lo cate your hospitals close to medical schools," the con gressman's letter reads in part. "But I understand that you have a facility encompassing a few beds at the Roaeburg Psychiatric institution. I find it difficult to understand why in view of the number of doc tors which are stationed at Camp White, the number of residents at the domiciliary and the exceptionally high quality of the medical profes sion in the city of Medford, you do not reactivate the sur gery arid the wards so as to take care of at least the ail ments of the residents of the domiciliary at White City. "I think the only specialty not represented in the prac tice of medicine in Medford is neurology," Duncan's let ter continues. Two Neurologists "I know that they have at least two neurologists there and am advised that there is only a minimal need for a neurologist if neurosurgeons are in practice. I also know that there is at Camp White a ward and a surgery or pos sibly two which, . perhaps, would require some moderni zation to bring it up to 1963 standards, but which furnish the nucleus at least for a well equipped unit which might very well eliminate the need for constantly forwarding pa tients to Portland by air and ambulance." The Oregon congress man makes it clear that he is not "pressing the administration to inaugurate a veterans hos pital in Medford if there Is no need for one," but that he "does hope that the adminis tration will examine the need carefully since there are no facilities between San Fran cisco and Portland to care for veterans who need hospitali zation." "If there is a need, how ever, be it for a general hos pital or for facilities such as I have mentioned, then I think that the facilities at Camp White offer a splendid oppor tunity for the Veterans Ad ministration at minimum cost to the federal government," Duncan noted.
