Hatfield Wins WV Soldiers Hospital Funding After Push
In Washington on December 21 Senator Hatfield secured a $1.5 million boost to the $14 million House allocation for a West Virginia soldiers hospital. He backed a plan with allies including Mrs. Benjamin Hoover and Judge George W. MacClintic, lobbying the finance committee for a hearing and using West Virginia veterans groups to press the case. The outcome followed a tense process with limited House notice and a unanimous prior vote, and Hatfield warned of delaying the West Virginia project without recognition.
