Board Head Disagrees With HEW Over Civil Rights Act
RICHMOND The chairman of the State Hospital Board said the board’s response to HEW on Civil Rights Act compliance is final and that further action lies with the federal department. Dr Ira L Hancock asserted the policy of freedom of choice remains and denied any racial admission discrimination, noting whites go to white hospitals and blacks to colored ones. He suggested HEW wants mass patient transfers, but argued mental patients are not like schoolchildren and would suffer from coercion. He added that losing federal funds for resident training and food programs would not hurt the board or patients.
