Raleigh, Aug. 24 (AP)—No patients will be sent away from the state sanatorium for tuberculosis until Governor McLean has made a personal investigation of conditions there which were recently said to be such that 16 patients must leave in the immediate future and 20 others in the next six months to make way for cases on the waiting list presenting more hope of being cured.
In a statement last night on his return from a vacation, Governor McLean stated he was “very much surprised” to learn an emergency existed at the sanatorium and added “there must be some mistake about the matter.” Pending completion of a personal investigation, the Governor said he would at once request of the Board of Directors to refrain from dismissing any of the patients in question.
