VETERANS NEGLECTED
Harding Told That Some Institutions
Ar? Making Profit of Them.
Asserting that the more than 8.000
mentully disabled former pervice men
now placed in state, institutions were
victims of such *&rosp peglect' indifference
and profiteering" as constituted
a "black reproach on the honor
of the nation," tjie disabled American
veterans of the World War, in a memorial
presented this week to President
Harding urged immediate action by
tlte government looking to the treatment
of all such cases in federal institutions.
Neglect of these cases in state institutions,
the memorial said, is committing
to permanent insanity many
of the victims, ^vho by timely treatment
probably could be cured.
Describing the condition of "contract"
cases of this class in the institutions
of the state of Ohio as typical
of those in "practically every
( state,'' the memorlul asserted the govI
ernment had "farmed out tl^e insane
I ex-service men of Ohio to state asy
lums which ate notoriously overcrowded,
under manned and inadequately
equipped to treat and core for
them," while 't has not provided one
federal institution for this purpose in
the state.
"For example." the memorial said,
"in the Longview asylum of Hamilton
county, Ohio, there are 42 gallant soldiers
who broke down mentally under
the stress of war, although Longview
is so overcrowded that 240 of the inmates
sleep on the floor like cattle
every night."
?Of the 250 mentally disabled, placed
j in all the institutions of the state, of
1 whom, it was said, physicians believe
ihalf might be cured by treatment, not
? one the memorial asserted was receiving
"medical treatment of any kind for
| their mental diseases and curable
(cases are being daily doomed to per!
manent insanity."
None of the institutions It was
further asserted degrade their tubercular
patients. An average profit of
( $200 on each patient out of the $547.50
