Hospital delay in choosing VA hospital site in south
Washington reported that the Veterans Administration plans to set a rate and delay final decisions for the new veterans hospital serving middle Tennessee and northern Alabama. The VA says no poll of neuro-psychiatric cases was conducted in the two states, though engineer C A Whyte has surveyed over 49 sites. Whyte’s report will go to the Federal Board of Hospitalization, which will then report its findings after review. President Roosevelt was referenced in the text but unclear in context.
