Finds Public Confused on His Program

By United Press WASHINGTON, Dec, 29—President Truman today created a commission to study the nation’s health needs and directed it to look over his own proposals which Congressiso fap has ignored.

He named 15, prominent lay and profeXjyMonal persons to undertake thé study which could he ended in a year or sooner. None of its members comes from Indiana. " To head the new commission, Mr. Truman named Dr, Paul B, Magnuson, noted Chicago orthopedic surgeon who was ousted this year as Veterans Administrator Medical Director after a

controversy with VA Chief Carl]

R. Gray Jr. Some of the studies which the .commission will -undertake include Mr. Truman's . proposals which are opposed by the Amerjcan Medical Association.

The AMA raised millions of

dollars to fight the proposals, and was certain to fight them again in the next session of Congress should Mr. Truman use any of the commission’s interim reports to plug for them.

His Own Answer

In a way it was the President’s own answer to his request to the medical profession to come up with a better national health plan, if it could, than the ones he has proposed. : The group wis formally named “The President's Commission On The Health Needs Of The Nation.” ‘Mr. Truman asked it for recommendations ’ for safeguard-| ing and improving the health of] the nation. His own recommendations for| “construction action,” had received enthusiastic support nd bitter opposition, “As a result, our people are confused about the proper course of action on subjects so vitally important to their welfare,” he » Said. 2

But the biggest factor is the continuing drive by Indianapolis Red Cross to secure blood for plasma for the armed forces.

More and more often, hospitals seeking blood to replace that used by patients are told by potential or—past donors that, “I've just given to the Red Cgoss, have to wait awhile.”

He directed the commission to inquire into and study the following:

And you can't tell when you're going to need it—you just have to have it available.”

SEVEN—The adequacy of private and public programs designed to provide ways to pay for medical care, EIGHT—How much the government should contfibute to local governments for health purposes. Points 7 and 8 are sticking points with Congress and much of the organized American medical profession. Mr. Truman in thé past, has proposed ‘a compulsory national health program. It never got anywhere. Last sumifer, with his approval, a new plan ‘was offered —to give free hospital care to every person 65 years of age and older on the social security rolls. His plan would require no new taxes, and it would also give free hospitalization to widows and dependent children entitled to the social security benefits.

Boys Overcome

Two small boys were overcome by carbon monoxide gas last night while riding in the back seat of their father’s car. William F. Bolton, 1633 E. 18th St. was driving into town on Massachusetts Ave. when he noticed the boys, Arthur, 11 and Charles, 9, were apparently unconscious. He stopped the car, got the beys out in the fresh air and called police. The boys had recovered by the time the police emergency squad arrived. Investigation showed the fumes came from a defective exhaust pipe. »

Dr. Max A. Bahr, retiring superintendent of Central State, admitted Council rules are being violated. “We don't. care what they do at the Council. We make our-own rules our here,” he emphasized.

They're His Rules

When told rules for Central State published by him on Dec. 1 of this year also are being violated, Dr, Bahr said: “We know how to. handle these patients. We are doing the best we can.” ‘The handcuffed and tied patients are those under “custodial care” in the Men’s Infirmary at the hospital. One patient, a former prize fighter, has been kept cuffed and tied for at least four months except for washing, an attendant told The Times. He is one of four patients kept under “restraint” while in seclusion—a room by himself. Mental Health Council still in effect state: “Restraint should never be applied to a patient who is in seclusion.” Rules established by Dr. Bahr for Central State say: “Any patient becoming violently excited may be placed in a room and the supervisor at once notified. No restraint should be put on or removed except by order of a physician.”

Shows No Order Joseph Leonard, supervisor of the ward where the “restrained” patients are kept, was unable lo show any order in writing or to recall what doctor gave verbal orders for the “restraint.” Arthur G. Lofton, executive secretary of the Council, said the orders should be written and be renewed every 24 hours. Hospital attendants as well as Dr. Bahr and members of the
