Criticism, Want More

Informal View. .

By CHARLES T. LUCEY Times Special ‘Writer

WASHINGTON, July 30.—Troubled in mind, critical of the conduct of the war, resenting what many

fighting back at criticism by public and press—this is the mood of a not-too-happy congress during the

§| election recess.

There is resentment over dictation of policies by the president— policies in theory determined by

production board and the office of price administration have been

ing. So, more recently, are the army and’ navy. Press and radio are blamed for calling down wrath on congress which—congressmen believe—should fall. elsewhere. This indignant feeling was typi-

senate session at which it was proposed that congressional machinery might be streamlined to give the legislative branch a more informed view of the whole war effort.

O’Mahoney Displeased

Senator O’Mahoney (D. Wyo.)

‘| pointedly told the senate that “the | [S92 leadership in the senate and house| |

constitutional status, that there are separate committees whose functions are narrow, that the only collective responsibility is in an informal steering committee which

‘| each party has.

“A steering committee,” . O'Mahoney said, meets.” . Senator Pepper proposed that each house have a small bi-parti-san “war committee” to provide a clear view of needed legislation and to “discover the shortcomings and see where the loopholes were and where the failures of administration lay.” :

Ky.) came a reminder that the senate military affairs committee two years ago called in rubber-company officials to point up the importance of rubber in war.

: Defends Congress Action

+ This brought from Senator O'Mahoney a ‘contention. that “practically: every advance made in the war effort has been initiated in congress, from the time the selective service act was passed “upon the recommendation nf members of the

lessly through ignorance, negli~ gence or lack of adequate care.” The maternal - death rate was cut from 67 per 10,000 live births in 1930, to 40 per 10,000 in 1939— when 9151 mothers died---but the committee thinks it can be reduced to half through full use of modern medical, nursing and hospital facilities. A The committee points out that in almost all major cities where adequate obstetrical facilities are readily - available, "the maternal death rates are well under the national average.

San Francisco has the lowest in the nation with 21 per 10,000 live births, while Chicago and Philadelphia are tied for second place with 23 per 10,000. Most other big cities had rates below 30. “This ‘suggests that, with equal care, the rate in smaller towns and rural areas could be cut from 40 to 30, or about 25 per cent,” a committee bulletin said. . “But there are reasons, too, for

considering even a greater reduction possible, In Chicago, for example, a committee of doctors recently studied the records of childbirth. deaths in the city’s homes or hospitals, and found that '40 of them, or about 45 per cent were ‘preventable.’ * :

In one modern Chicago maternity hospital, cnly 60 deaths: occurred in 33,000 live births, a rate of 18 per 10,000 live births, indicating the possibilities of proper treatment for reducing birth’ rates, Fifty of the deaths occurred in the hospital, the other 10 at home. Thirty- were recorded between 1931 and 1936 and only 16 between 1936 and 1941, reflecting improved obstetrical techniques and equipment. The committee believes the medical profession is fully aware of the problem and is making every effort to cope with it.
