CARE DISCUSSED

AT SYMPOSIUM,

Fishbein Leader of Attack;

Mencken Calls Hospitals :

‘Antisocial’ Agents.

(O=her Stories, Page 10)

DURHAM, N. C., Oct. 14 (U. P.).— Physicians attending Duke University’s symposium on medical problems differed sharply today after hearing the question of “socialized medicine” discussed by three members of their own profession. Dr. Morris Fishbein, editor of the Journal of the American Medical

Association, led the attack on group medical care, declaring that “social experimentation in the field of medicine may temporarily inhibit progress by destroying individual initiative and the stimulus to new discovery.” ” Dr. John P., Peters of Yale University Medical School said the demand for reorganization of medical services has arisen “partly from a general awakening of social selfconsciousness in the nation, hastened by the depression; but more from a feeling that in the field of health the potentialities for betterment are greater and more immediately exploitable than they are in any other field of social service.” Third speaker was Dr. Wingate Johnson of Winston-Salem, N. C, past president of the North Carolina Medical Society, who familiarized the group of 500 physicians attending the medical symposium with both sides of the question.

Fears Lower Quality

“Socialized medicine would distribute the cost of medical care and accrue a fixed income for doctors,” Dr. Johnson said. “They could make earlier diagnosis and raise the quality of medical service. If this were true all doctors would favor it. “But most doctors oppose socialized medicine because the cost would be three to four billions annually and bureaucratic control would be inevitable. The quality of medicine would be lowered. It was tried in Europe and failed and the effect on the morale of doctors was disastrous. It would harm the people, too, by increasing the number of malingerers and neurotics and also would increase the number of work days lost because of sickness.” Dr. Peters said he was “rightly Jealous lest the quality of medicine be neglected, lest standards may not be safeguarded,” but the “allocation of health responsibilities between local, state and Federal branches of the Government is a subject for thoughtful consideration and planning, not political ballyhoo or class prejudice ., , . none will or can be excluded.”

Mencken Calls Hospitals ‘Antisocial’

By Science Service BALTIMORE, Oct. 14—To Henry L. Mencken, hospitals ‘are the nation’s most “brutally antisocial” agencies because they are so “beautifully organized and efficiently managed” ti:at they save and perpetuate the lives of habitual paupers, feeble-minded, defectives, alcoholics, syphilitics and their progeny. i Sterilization of the unfit, Mr.

Mencken suggested, would solve the medical care problem discussed last

night at a Duke University sym-|

posium. Mr. Mencken, scheduled to speak there, was unable to attend. Mr. Mencken recently suggested “in a lunatic moment” that $100 be offered to every male “dole-bird” who would consent to be sterilized. But letters from his public suggested $25 or even $2 would be enough. “The health of the public is a concern of government,” said Mr. Mencken. “No argument is needed to prove that. Equally obviously, we

can't let poor people suffer without

decent care. But where in the Constitution, or in the Holy Scriptures, or even in the works of Karl Marx will you find any mandate to plant deliberately a vast annual crop of them, and then manure it with the

hard-earned money of honest

folks?”

Group Medical cal Aid Backed by Druggists

CHICAGO, Oct. 14 (U. P.).—The National Association of Retail Druggists adopted a resolution at the closing session of its 40th annual convention last night pledging cooperation in devising suitable plans to make medical care available to citizens in all income brackets. The resolution called for utilization of existing agencies in a contemplated group medical plan and urged the retention of free choice of physician, dentist, pharmacist and niurse by the patient as an essential feature in any system to be adopted.

Offers Group Health At $2 Per Month

WASHINGTON, Oct. 14 (U. P.).—

announced today the most extensive group health plan ever attempted in the United States. In North and South Dakota the FSA will offer medical protection for $2 per month per family. Approximately 77,000 families, limited to those receiving aid from the FSA, will be eligible. Under a pooling arrangement, which the administration described as “a form of voluntary insurance,” families will pay $2 per month for complete emergency facilities of physicians, dentists and hospitals. The money will be paid to special state corporations, which in turn will pay medical bills of participating families.

PLAYWRIGHT HALTS DIVORCE, KILLS SELF

RENO, Nev, Oct. 14 (U.P.).— Playwright John W. Schuler, who wrote “An American Trilogy,” left instructions for his attorney to drop divorce proceedings and hanged himself to a hotel room transom. Coroner Harry Dunseath said the 39-year-old author had a letter from Mrs. Schuler in which she agreed to sign divorce papers. The letter was written on U. S. Navy Department stationery.
