Board weighs fate of mental hospital head
WICHITA FALLS Jan 2 UP The State Board for Hospitals and Special Schools will decide next Monday whether Dr E F Dean will continue as superintendent of Wichita Falls State Hospital. Dean, suspended after visitors found him under the influence of intoxicants, faced staff shortages and a troubled personal life including a recent divorce and a brother’s death. Supporters praise his reforms and patient care, while officials note his instability and falsified records for a patient escape. The board may fire him but keep him on the payroll, with doctors’ salaries hard to fill at about $500 monthly.

Giant hydraulic presses to shape metal for aircraft
Dayton, Ohio. The Air Force announced plans to install two six story high hydraulic presses to forge entire wing sections in one operation, vastly increasing payload capacity and range. The machines, to be built by Loewy Hydropress Co., will take about 18 months to be ready and will exceed 50 000 tons capacity.
