Mental Doctors Try to Resign, Fired Instead
Thirteen of the 15 doctors at Georgia's 10,000 patient mental hospital attempted resignations and were dismissed. They had demanded resignations of State Welfare Director Jack Forrester and superintendent T. A. Dechman. Forrester ordered the doctors off hospital grounds within 24 hours and said replacements would come in. The governor declined to fire Forrester, but said he would remove him from Dechman's control. The doctors vowed they could not work with Dechman and accused officials of turning the hospital into a political dumping ground.
