About 90 per cent of the pa-
from relief rolls over the state several years ago. Now, because of higher medical bills at. IU, relief agencies are sending their patients to private hospitals in local communities at less cost.
$18.50 a Day The cost per patient at IU is
running now about $18.50 a day. This is lower, school officials!
say, than some other medical
school hospitals. But relief agencies report they are getting care for much less at many local institutions. Also the paying patients of private doctors who have used the school’s hospitals . are becoming fewer. Not many private patients like to go there because most of the beds are in large wards of 20 each and they don’t like to be treated
TOKYO (Sunday), Dec. 23—A holiday armistice in Korea appeared almost impossible today,| but the United Nations still hoped | for an early “mercy” exchange of| sick and wounded prisoners of
war; now, with graduates limited to|] “medicine,” Dr. VanNuys said.
The United Nations appealed yesterday for a pre- .armistice| “mercy” exchange—possibly in-| cluding Maj. Gen. William F.| Dean. The Communist answer may come today. . A series of propaganda broad=gasts -elouded-the issues. ——=— A United Nations command broadcast accused the Communist truce negotiators of trying “to negotiate for a future war in| Korea,” and said the Reds prob-| ably would try to stall the con-| ference beyond the 30-day trial period for the cease-fire line. Means the Difference It said the Communist -demand to build airfields in North Korea during the armistice period meant the difference between peace and war. Peiping Radio charged that America’s “high handed attitude” in the negotiations had aroused opposition among - the British; Pyongyang Radio said the United Nations would only gain the enmity of the world if it insisted on its “absurd” plan for man-for-man prisoner exchange. United Press Correspondent Arnold Dibble repprted from the United Nations peace camp at Munsan that only a Christmas miracle could bring an armistice by the Dec. 27 deadline on expiration of the 30-day cease-fire line. But he said it was “possible” that battle-shattered war prisoners may come down the road to Panmunjom sometime close to the holiday season.

What can be done about it? The, only plans being talked! now bk school officials and pri-| vate doctors involve more money from the taxpayers or a cut in operating expenses some way.
School authorities and a legis-
doctors is to use more tax money to help pay part of the medical bills of relief agencies , , . if patients are sent to IU.
Relief agencies then could send more patients to IU hospitals because their share would be less. Relief agencies — Welfare Departments and township trustees —once were forced by law and court orders to send indigent patients to IU. THat law was changed in 1949 and relief agencies now may use local hospitals.
" New Hospitals
Many nearby cities had continued sending patients to IU because they had no hospitals. Since, many smaller cities have built their own institutions, reducing the flow of patients to the IU center. There are empty beds now in all of the school’s hospitals — Riley, Robert Long and Coleman. The Rotary Club wing of Riley Hospital, built 20 years ago to) treat rare diseases of children, had to be closed recently for lack | of patients.

STRAUSS SAYS:-ORDER
Regarding academic specialization and expanded research, Dr. VanNuys explained that the school’s. research facilities were “inadequate” five years ago. “In 1946 the school was spending only $11,000 a year on research, hardly enough to be called research,” he said. “Under the pressure of public demand from many sources, the research department has been increased to a budget of $288,000.” Regarding complaints that the operating costs of the school {were too high, the dean countered with figures showing “we jare running a cheap school.”
Cost Below Average “The cost per student is $2400 a year compared to $2800 listed las the average cost per student in other medical schools,” he said. “Some schools are running as high as $3800. Also, other medical schools in the country are having the same trouble getting enough patients. “The trend on this has been running about the same all over the country,” he said. Dr. Merrill Davis, Marion, chairman of a special committee appointed by the Legislature to study IU Medical School problems, said an expansion program will be necessary. “It is a physical impossibility to increase enrollment with the present floor space and the present faculty,” he said. “It will require a $2 million building pro-
