Washington August 31 The Senate crime investigating committee urged that additional hospitals may be needed for drug addiction treatment. It noted the Public Health Service Hospital at Lexington Kentucky and facilities at Fort Worth Texas may be inadequate to serve voluntary noncriminal patients especially women and younger addicts who should be kept separate from older, hardened offenders.
