Patients Take Charge
SYDNEY, Aug. 25. Twenty-five Indonesian tuberculosis patients took possession of the Oranje Clinic in Sydney last night by breaking a glass panel in the office. When a suburban hospital was closed earlier in the week they refused t 0 go to the Queen Wilhelmina Hospital in Sydney because they said they feared they would not get proper attention there. They spent a day in a shed and were then given shelter in the Chinese Youth League’s premises. The police have taken no action and say that none will be taken unless th& Dutch authorities desire it.
