PLAN FOR U.S, | HEALTH PROJECT

More Important Problems Face Government, Editor Of A. M. A. Declares.

WASHINGTON, July 20 (U. P)

—Dr. Morris Fishbein, spokesman for the American Medical Association, bitterly criticized proposals for a national health program and proposed that the Government first solve other problems ‘more important” than medical care. Dr. Fishbein, editor of the Jour1 of the Medical Associatino and mes columnist, told the National Health Conference he is becoming “more bewildered and amazed ai he manner of approach” it is taking toward problems of national hygiene, President Roosevelt's committee to co.ordinate health and welfare

activities recommended to the con- |

ference a national program to spend $850,000,000 annually for national health Dr. Fishbein termed the arrangements to procure an expression from the medical profession and the people regarding a “far-reach-ing, economy-shaking, tremendous national program” of national health as “peculiar.”

“I maintain and will continue to maintain that the first problem of the Government is to other pressing national facing us today,” he said. He listed the major problems as unemployment and the necessity for providing food, clothing and shelter for the underprivileged. Apparently referring

to the

A. M. A’s contention that a na-| lower the |

tional probram might quality of medical care, Dr. Fishbein said: “Why do great public officials in the city of Washington leave Wasiington with its magnificant medical

institutions and go half-way across | kind of |

the country to get the medical care they want?

“There is a difference in quality

of medical care in different parts of the world, and unless you can give all the people good medical care you can not temporize with an inferior and unsatisfactory quality of medical service.”

(It was believed Dr. Fishbein was

referring particularly to James Roosevelt, the President's eldest son, who recently was a patient at the Mayo clinic in Rochester, Minn.).

The maximum cost to Federal, State and local governments of the first three features of the five-point plan is estimated at $850,000,000 every year for 10 years.

After Secret Eye Operation

Mollyann Dykhoff, 21-month-old child whose right eye was removed

to stop growth of retinal glioma, a |

malignant eye tumor, today had "a { 90 per cent chance for complete re- | covery, specialists said. The operation was secretly July Dr. H. C. Wurster, an eye surgeon. It was revealed last night by Mr. and Mrs. Wililam Dykhoff, the parents, who exhibited their laughing baby to newsmen. Only after a conference of 10 South Bend specialists was the rare operation permitted. They agreed tl.e eve had to be removed to save the girl's life Several months ago in Chicago, a similar operation was performed successfully on Helaine Colan.

Members of the queen’s court include Melva Payne, Fairmount; Alta Mae Shultz, Marion; Maverna Rhodes, Shelbyville; Mary Tully, Franklin; Joan Bomalaski, Jasper; | Helen Emly, St. Paul; Maybelle Rainwater, Morgantown, and Evelyn | Edwards of Knox.

More Hospital Beds

Second point in the plan provides for 360.000 hospital beds, in addition to those already in existence, In general, tuberculosis, and mental hospitals and in rural and urban areas, and for the construction of 500 health and diagnostic centers in areas inaccessible to hospitals. These new hospitals and clinics would require financial assistance for the first three years of operation. Averaged over a 10-year period, the total cost is estimated at $146,050,000, half of this to come from Federal funds. The third point is for providing sare to the medically needy. Start- | ing with $50,000,000 the first year, this part of the program, it is cuggested, should be gradually expanded till it reaches the estimated level fo $400,000,000 which would be | needed to provide minimum care. | The Federal Government would meet one-half the annual costs. Fourth point is for reducing the burdens of sickness among selfsupporting persons. Suggested method of financing would be either by general taxation or special tax as- | sessments, or specific insurance con- [ tributions from potential beneficiaries, or both. No estimate of costs of this has yet been given. The role of the Federal Government, the committee states, “should be principally that of giving financial and technical aid to the States” for development of their own programs. Fifth and final point of the plan | recommends providing insurance against the loss of wages during | sickness. Details and costs of this part of the plan have not yet been announced.

$200,000,000 annually, half of this |

to be borne by the Federal Government. Along with this expansion,

the committee recommends expand- |

ing maternal and child health servjces. with the object of «available to all mothers and children of all income groups and in all parts of the United States minimum medical services essential for the reduction of our needlessly high maternal mortality rates and death rates among newborn infants, and for the prevention in childhood of diseases and conditions leading to

PLANNING BOARD REVIVAL LIKELY

County Surveyor Requests $7500 for Its Operation; Need Is Cited.

The Marion County Planning Board, inactive for nearly four years due to lack of funds, will be revived Jan, 1, if a special budget appropriation is approved by the

Tax Adjustment Board. Surveyor Herbert Bloemker today submitted to the County Auditor a budget request including a $7500 item for operation of a planning board next year. “Lack of proper planning in the past has impaired the county's drainage system seriously and failure of board rulings on erection of new buildings in subdivisions is causing dissatisfaction in suburban areas,” Mr. Bloemker said. The Planning Board would be composed of the county engineer, county agricultural agent, city engineer and two citizen members.
