Government May Take Over Charlotte Sanatorium For Free Venereal Disease Clinic
Raleigh April 20 Dr Carl V Reynolds state health officer said federal government indicated it would seize the Charlotte Sanatorium as a venereal disease hospital offering free treatment to patients of both races. Federal funding would cover about 150000 dollars yearly, with local personnel partly needed. If supervising facilities improve, judges might send infected patients for treatment but primary aim is voluntary care to combat disease. Reynolds noted only eleven such hospitals exist in the United States. Charlotte’s eligibility gained momentum after Col Warner Gates Morris Field warned the area could be declared forbidden over venereal disease conditions. The Reynolds Foundation annual 12500 dollar venereal disease grant for Charlotte has been withdrawn due to nonparticipation in the merit system, though renewal is hoped. One venereal disease specialist remained.
