Palestine Issue Facing New Envoy
The Palestine dispute complicates the start of Lewis W. Douglas as the new U S ambassador to Britain. A White House statement rebukes Bevin for linking Truman’s 1945 Palestine stance to domestic politics and affirms America’s long standing interest in Palestine amid Anglo American tensions. Douglas resigns from Mutual Life to prepare for London duties as Britain faces economic strain and the stalled ambassadorial vacancy since Harriman’s recall.

Hospital care and water treatment woes spill into view
The report notes that hospital care costs the state about ten dollars and demands a physician, graduate nurse, and attendants. It describes water treatment wards where disturbed patients lie in tubs for eight hours with soothing temperatures, and grimly details overcrowded wards with 40 beds for 85 plus patients and as many as 19 or 20 per room.
Conditions in Ward Facilities Highlight Malnutrition and Overcrowding
Descriptions depict beds laid on floors with no sheets in many wards. Patients crowd together on mattresses in endless masses with poor cleanliness and inadequate clothing. Mentally deficient children ward shows chronic understaffing and cramped beds, revealing overall facility failure to meet rehabilitation standards.
