Kingswood Hospital
Opened; Will Care
for Mentally Sick
Kingswood Hospital, the first
private hospital especially built
and planned for acute intensive
care and treatment of adult psychi-
atric patients in metropolitan De-
troit, was dedicated by Dr. William
R. Keast, president of Wayne State
University, Sunday.
Kingswood Hospital is located
on Eight Mile Road between Wyo-
ming and Meyers Roads. Five of
Detroit's largest general hospitals
are approximately two miles from
Kingswood.
"It is our intention and hope,"
states Dr. Philip N. Brown, medi-
cal director, "to help meet the
growing need for short-term, in-
tensive care in the mental health
field, and our emphasis will be
on psychotherapeutic and environ-
mental techniques to care for the
mentally and emotionally ill."
A feature of Kingswood is its
"open" staff. A psychiatrist whose
credentials have been approved by
a credentials committee composed
of distinguished Detroit psychia-
trists may admit a patient.
Sixty psychiatrists, among them
some of the most eminent in
Michigan, make up the hospital's
active and courtesy staffs.
The 100-bed adult nursing wing,
administration and therapy build-
ing, now open, are the first of an
eight-unit complex which, when
completed, will cost over
$5,000,000.
Financing of the Kingswood
Hospital Complex is underwritten
by the Detroit Bank and Trust.
Volk and London are the archi-
tects, and the contractor is Harry
Shefman, Inc.
Dr. Brown, former medical su-
perintendent of Northville State
Hospital and former assistant su-
perintendent of Ypsilanti State
Hospital, is the new hospital's
medical director.
Marvin J. Lawrence, recently
administrator of the 500-bed gen-
eral hospital division of Wayne
County General Hospital, and a
Fellow of the American College
of Hospital Administrators, is
Kingswood's administrator.
The Kingswood Hospital board
includes Morris Brenner, David
Brenner, Dr. Robert I. Gans, Dr.
Sanford M. Izner, Dr. Leonard H.
Lerner, Leslie R. Schmier, Harry
Shefman, Dr. Bert P. Solomon,
and Dr. Lawrence L. Stocker.
At the dedication of the new
hospital, two $2,500 fellowship
grants in psychiatry were pre-
sented to the departments of
psychiatry of Wayne State Uni-
versity and the University of
Michigan. Schmier presented the
Kingswood Hospital Fellowship
Grants in Psychiatry to Dr.
Jacques S. Gottlieb, chairman of
Wayne's department of psychi-
atry, and to Dr. Moses M. Froh-
lich, professor of psychiatry of
the U of M.
Schmier stated that the grants
were given as an indication of the
interest of the hospital in further-
ing undergraduate education in
psychiatry and in the belief they
will assist worthy students in the
field.
Predict Israeli Pound in '70
to Be Six Pounds to Dollar
JERUSALEM (ZINS) — Profes-
sors of economics at the Hebrew
University voiced the view that a
devaluation of the Israeli pound is
inevitable. They proposed that the
devaluation should be in terms of
six pounds per dollar, but that this
decision should be put into effect
in the year 1970.
At the same time the professors
proposed the liquidation of all gov-
ehnment subsidies to production.
Economic circles in Israel are con-
vinced that the government will
be compelled to carry out the de-
valuation before 1970.

PARIS (ZINS) — In the years
1958-1964, Israel purchased from
France goods and weapons for the
sum of $400,000,000, it was dis-
closed here.
Israel is France's best customer,
not only among the Middle Eastern
countries but among the Asians as
well. In 1964 Israel purchased in
France more goods than Japan,
India, Persia, Lebanon, Egypt and
Turkey.
Israel's purchases have enabled
France to increase its gold reserve
by 10 per cent, the paper empha-
sizes.
