- Description:
- The document discusses concerns raised by Mr. Bill Hampton, News Editor of the Antlers American, regarding the Shawnee Indian Sanatorium in Oklahoma. There are concerns about the reduction in bed capacity and the possible closure of the men's building at the sanatorium. The Public Health Service assures that no Indian patients with tuberculosis have been turned away and that surplus beds are available in other facilities. Plans are being considered to consolidate patients into one building for better efficiency. Congressman Carl Albert is investigating the situation and working with officials to address the concerns raised.
