Barrett Tries to Save TWo Projects I By GUY FRIDDELL Virginia's mental hygiene commissioner, today sought a reprieve for two facilities in danger of- getting the ax from the Stftte Capital Outlay Study Commission. Dr.

Joseph E. Barrett today asked the commission to restore to a proposed six-year building program for the States mental hospitals the requests for a $2,810,000 children's hospital and a $2,500,000 psychiatric training institute. "I told the commission that we still believed the children's hospital and the psychiatric institute were musts and should no longer be deferred, Dr. Barrett said as he came out of the closed commission meeting. He said that the members of thfe commission appeared to be interested in what he had to say about the two propjsed installations.

Captain G. M. Brydon, business manager of the State mental hospitals, said he was "optimistic after Dr. Barrett had made his four-hour pitch to the commission. State Tax Chief C.

II. Morris-sf tt, who Is chairman of the Cap! tal Outlay Study Commission, said that the question and an swer meeting had been "very fruitful but that the commission Nad made no decision on any of the projects requested by any of the mental hospitals: Also appearing with Dr. Bar rett before the board, was II. Minor Davis, vice-chairman of the State Hospital Board. I The study commission will devote the next two days to asking the heads of 20 State institutions how to cut down the 000 they have requested.

In new buildings for the next six years. 1 The commission expected to spend four hours today studying the building needs of the menta.r hospitals which originally had requested $117,000,000. nearly hall' the total of the requests of all the agencies. Dr. Barrett said before entering the meeting that after a conference with the commission he had redrawn his requests on the basis of three factors (1) fireproofing facilities for present nonfireproof buildings, additions needed to care for present overcrowding, and (3) new buildings to accommodate estimated increases in the hospital population through 1962.

On that basis the request for the mental hospitals was trimmed to $92,323,615 from $117,000,000. Police Hunt Perpetrators Of 2 Robberies Police were searching for the persons responsible for two week end robberies here. The thiefs made away with $2,500 in one of the thefts and $1 in the other. A grocer, Maurice Leader, partner in the 9-11 supermarket in the first block North Seventeenth lost the $2,500 early Saturday night as he was preparing to enter his parked car and drive to a bank, for a night deposit. Leader told police a man came from behind him.

struck him over the head and grabbed the canvas bag containing the money. He described the robber as a Negro. I $4,500 IN CHECKS Leader, 40, of 909 Sabot said the bag contained, also about $4,500 in checks, but they were marked "for deposit only. He said the loss was partly covered by Insurance. A second robber was less successful.

A 71-year-old night watchman, Melvin of 114 East Eleventh said he was attacked about 2:10 A. M. yesterday as he was making his rounds at the. Southern Steel and Stove Works, Sixth and Din-widdie Streets. 1 Sandridge was admitted to Medical College Hospital for multiple cuts and of the face and head and a fractured skull.

His condition was listed today as satisfactory. Chest Withdraws $10,000 Donation It may become necessary to raise the price of school lunches next semester to carry on the free lunch program in the public schools without the Community Chest's former appropriation! of $10,000 year. Superintendent Willett said today. On the other hand 'it may be advisable to try to raise funds for the program from other sources, he told a meeting of the Richmond Parent-Teacher Association. 'j Either decision must await in-' formation as fo what the city and Federal governments (art prepared 'to contribute toward the program during the next school year, he.

said. I As long as the city accepts Federal, funds for the lunch pro gram it is obligated to provide free or reduced lunches for marginal cases, he pointed out. i Now that the Community Chest has withdrawn its support of the program, the school can take over administration of the free lunch fund from the P-TA, Willett told the group. ADVISORY. GROUP At his suggestion the federation voted to create a committee to serve in an advisory capacity to the school board in administrating the entire school lunch program.

Willett urged the federation to try to build volume of sales for the school cafeterias. "If there is enough volume we may make sufficient money in the cafeterias to take care of the marginal group. needing free lunches, he said. He pointed out that the city so far has appropriated money to provide lunches for welfare cases. The budget for the entire free lunch program this school year is $28,000, he said.

Of this amount $10,000 comes from the Community Chest, which has decided to withdraw aid after this semester. Another $10,000 came from the city and was designed to care for puhlu assistance cases, while $8,000. came from profits of the cafeterias. TRY TO CUT COSTS Willett said the city was trying in every way to cut cafeteria costs in order to provide a larger profit. Aq increasing 'number of schools are operating with only assistant cafeteria managers, he said.

There will be some further consolidation of cafeterias in small schools he added. He said that relatively few Community Chesls throughout the nation arc supxrling free lunch programs. In some cities welfare departments arc handling it but in the greatest number the program is carried by the schools, he said. Student Here Admits Guilt In Defraud Case James Dale White, of Chester, 24-year-old son of missionary parents and a senior at Union Theological Seminary, pleaded guilty today to a charge of using the mails to defraud. Young White, dressed in a blue suit and white dress shirt, told Federal District Judge Sterling Hutcheson that he did not want an attorney to represent him, and then waived formal indictment.
