16 The Boston Globe Saturday, January 28, 1967 Special Commission Eyes New Target: State's Treatment of Retarded Children "1 sion, also headed by Sen. Leslie B. Cutler, Needham Republican, filed a report with the Legislature Thursday. The report called for drastic changes in what the commission described as "archaic, confusing and rigid" laws pertaining to the commitment of individuals to the state institutions. The recommendations concern all 125 sections of tht statute dealing with the Department of Mental Health.

A major proposal is for the appointment of assistant attorneys general who would serve as legal counsel for anyone committed to a state institution. Cawley said the decision to widen the investigation into state homes for retarded children was prompted by charges that Christmas gifts and clothing purchased by parents for their retarded children disappeared "within days" at some state institutions. a neighbor company and could not conceal her indignation when she learned that at least 20 of the 100 parents in attendance reported the loss of clothing. She quoted one mother as saying she discovered her child unclothed in a room where the temperature was under 50 degrees. "All the parents said the only time they turn the heat up at Fernald School in Wav-erly is when they know state inspectors or visitors are coming," Mrs.

Westerman said. One mother reported that her child's head had been "split open" by an attendant who used a flashlight in one state institution. The child was said to be "very high strung," but not seriously retarded and is at the institution because the mother must work and cannot provide the necessary care. The father is in Vietnam. By RICHARD J.

CONNOLLY SUtf Reporter A new investigation, aimed at state institutions caring for retarded children, will be launched Monday by a special legislative commission on mental health. State Rep. Robert L. Caw-ley, a West Roxbury Democrat and chairman of the commission, said the probe will be started during an inspection of the Fernald School Monday or Tuesday. He said an attempt would be made to check conditions at the Wrentham State School and the Paul A.

Dever School in Taunton early next week. Then, possibly Wednesday, the commission is expected to conduct a public hearing at the State House. State officials, leaders in the field of mental health and the parents of patients will be invited, Cawley said. After a three-year study in a related field, the commis The legislator said he was "alarmed" by reports that parents have declined to identify themselves and speak publicly about the missing items in fear of retaliation against their children. "We're going into these institutions again and find out what's going on," Cawley said.

Cawley mapped the new move after learning that parents complained that their children who were "half naked" before Christmas were found "naked again" after being provided with clothing gifts. The disclosures were made by Mrs. Phyllis Westerman of Lynnfield who said she attended a meeting earlier this week of the Massachusetts Assn. for Retarded Children in Woburn. Mrs.

Westerman said she went to the meeting to keep Station to make an emergency landing. Crew, Capt A. D. Hamilton, Sgt C. H.

After five days at Taunton State Hospital, he was transferred to Bridge- water as "dangerous." Subsequently the charges were dropped. When Randall, still at Bridgewater, voluntarily sought to be transferred to a mental hospital as a civil commitment, a court order committed him back to Bridgewater.

This city agency investigates homes to see if they conform the state sanitary code. The bill filed by Ames asks that the special commission consist of three members of the Senate, four members of the House, the attorney general or his designee, three persons appointed by the governor and two by the mayor. Ames specifies that he specifically wants to study procedures for issuing building permits, the consistency of inspections and the detection of unauthorized whom I have extremely high regard. "But there are instances of which I have become aware people going around and building something without getting the proper approval." The question is, according Ames, does the city have enough inspectors to stop these actions? Ames, one of the most respected legislators at the State House, said an addition a building on Commonwealth av. triggered the investigation.

"The fellow built a structure without a permit, and-thermore it abutted on someone else's property." This is the type of action that occurs far too often in Boston, he maintained.

Pizziferri charged Friday at a court hearing which could lead to the transferring of up to 160 inmates from Bridgewater. The hospital is operated totally by the Dept.

of Corrections, which even hires the personnel, Pizziferri said. The only powers the Dept. of Mental Health, which supervises the state's mental hospitals, has there, he added, concerns medical aspects of confinement. He said also that the statutes which enumerate the institutions being operated by the Dept. of Mental Health do not place Bridgewater in the category of mental hospitals.

Therefore, he concluded, mental patients at Bridge-water are being deprived of treatment equal to that available at the state's civil mental hospitals. Pizziferri seeks to have Frederick Randall. 30, of Rehoboth transferred from Bridgewater to a civil mental hospital on the ground that he has no criminal charge or sentence over hini and should not be treated as a criminal. of L.A Races LIVE-IN COLOR FROM FLORIDA WKBG-TVGH 56 SAT. 4:30 P.M.
