FREE MEDICINE | BILL PRESENTED

10 Senators Back Plea for Mother-Child Care.

WASHINGTON, July 26 (U. P.. —A non-partisan grfbup of 10 sénators today introduced a bill to provide Yree medical service for the nation’s mothers. and children. The measure, authorizing the appropriation of $100,000,000 for the first year of operation, would provide free maternity care including pre-natal and post-natal service to “all mothers who elect to participate” in the program. It would provide free medicak care

“tor children under 21 when they are

sick; p*eventive maternal and child health work; school health services; Jee dental care for children, and for ‘dependent, neglected or delinquent children. The measure was introduced by Senators Claude Pepper (D. Fla), '|David 1, Walsh (D. .Mass.), Elpert |D. Thomas (D. Utah), Lister Hill (D. Ala), Dennis Chavez (D. N. M.), James M. Tunnell (D. Del), Joseph J. Guffey (D. Pa), Robert M. LaFollette (P. Wis.), George .D.. Aiken (R. Vt.), and Wayne. R. Morse (R. Ore.). States to Participate Pepper, spokesman for the group, said in introducing the measure that its passage would result in savings: the lives of “many. of the 7000 motliers who now die annually in childbirth and of many of the 118,000 reaching the age of one year.” In considering the bill, he said, congress must ask itself whether this nation should provide scientific care for its mothers and children regardless of their family income—or whether it should be content . with present -conditions “under which some mothers and childern get the best care available anywhere in the world while others get little or attention.” The program would be set up by the various states and financed by both state and federal funds. Within 10 years each state wishing to participate would have to set up adequate facilities to carry out the provisions of the bill
