The Won Papen government has
reduced all social welfare services
such as unemployment insurance,
old age, accident, health insurance,
etc. by so per cent. Nevertheless,
the payments of the workers to
these funds must continue as be-

HOOVER SUPPORTS
HEALTH PROGRAM
President, Favors Public Unit
in Every County in the
United States.

Setting up of a county health unit
in every county In the United States
and Government encouragement Of q
program to reduce contagious diseases
were supported by President Hoover
last night in a brief address before the
American Public Health Association.
Mr.. Hoover said that after his ex-
perience in the Mississippi flood area
he had called conferences out of which
evolved the idea of the most effective
means of strengthening the Public
Health Service in harmony with the
spirit of our American institutions"
by this mean the idea Of the coun-
ty health unit" the President contin-
ued. Every county In the United
States should set up for itself as its
minimum health organization a unit
consisting Of DOCTOR a sanitary engt-
neer and trained nurse"
A plea that the Public Health Service
be maintained at the height of efficiency
during the depression was made by DR..
Louis I. Dublin, president Of the asso-
ciaticn, in his annual address. He
warned of "the grave risk Of wrecking
the public health organization which
has been built up over many years.
Unless we are very careful we may
through these attempts at false econ
omy let loose forces which will under
mine our very capacity for speedy eco
nomic recovery.
"Once our defenses are weakened, in
creased sickness and death would make
economic recovery all the more difficult
If governmental economy Is necessary,
there are many other types of activity
less vital that should be curtailed first
not one that threatens life itself"

BY the ASsociateS Press.
The Interstate Commerce Commission
today scored the situation in scme East
ern cities where railroads maintain
rival terminals fer buying and selling
produce.
The commission has made no gen.
eral investigation because of the eX-
pense but did have a survey in Buffalo.
N. Y, where the Erie and Nickel Plate
maintain one produce terminal and the
New York Central another.
1t also dealt briefly In the statement
with the situation at Baltimore. The
commission said Of the Erie and Nickel
Plate project: In all. it appears that
the Erie and Nickel Plate have directly
or indirectly expended jointly we'll over
$4,000. 900 excluding obligations assumed
such as mortgages, in the development
Of the Niagara Frontier Food Terminal"
The expenditures by the New York
Central have amounted to over 81, ,700,-
900. the commission said.
The warfare between the Erie-Nickel
Plate and the New York Central, which
was precipitated by the construction of
the new produce terminals, had other
wasteful and unwholesome results.
"One was the payment by the car
riers of many loss and dNnage claims
on produce shipments without proper
investigation and often in all probable
ity without adequate justification.

I'm order to prevent real economy"
declared Dr. Simeon E. Leland, pro-
fessor of economics of the University
of Chicago, many administrators have
met the demand for expenditure re-
duction by quickly cutting all salaries
and budget allowances proportional
amount. This technique has left the
political machine in its original relative
position. 1t has the same number of
men on the payroll; the salary scales
remain in the same relation; and the
sources of graft and waste remain,
although perhaps in reduced amounts. p"
That policy, he warned, could pro-
duce only low mora'e among employees,
and lead to corrup ion and sabotage.
THE proper method of cutting" he
said, lis one which attempts to weigh
the relative Importance of different
services, and eliminates or reduces
services in the order in which they
have least social utility"

Clements and r. E. Gruner, chairman

The "amazement," Clements said, was
expressed over Gov. Roosevelt's con-
demnation when he, himself, was

HOOver's Address on Health
Program of Reducing Contagious Disease With Gov
eT:rnuent Encouragement Adyocated as
Measure of Economy.

President Hoover's address last night
to the American Public Health Associa-
ton follows:
Fifteen years ago, almost to the day,
I had the pleasure Of addressing the
American Public Health Asso cation.
You were gathered here then as you are
now, to exchange ideas and information
in your professional work as oficial
guardians of the public health. At that
time, IS years ago, had just come from
observing at first hand in Begun and
other war areas, the acute problems OF
public health produced by violent dis
cesses of the life CT nations. In my re-
marks upon that occasion I discussed
some of these problems as I had OBJ
served them during that experience.
Difficult as conditions were for the civil
populations of all the nations In the
war area, they would have been In
finitely more difficult had it not been
for the modern organization Of protec-
tive health services and the scientinc
understanding Of sanitary measures
necessary to prevent and check such
epidemics Of communicable Cisease as
had always, in earlier wars, swept over
the nations.
NV next major contact with your
body vas during the Mississ- ppi River
flood in 1927. In travelling over the
region affected by those floods, from
the lower Ohio River Valley to the
mouth of the Mississippi and organizlr g
the measures of the Federal Govern
ment to overcome that ca'amity by
rescue from flood and re-establishment
of a million of our people In their
homes, it was obvious that SANITATION
and health control were imperative 70
prevent the outbreak Of devastating cpl
denies. In this emergency the puoLc
health agencies and the allied groups
were indispensable. and l took 'i,e
liberty of mobilizing the energies OF
vour members. They rose to the situa-
tion and by their skill and promptness
srevented a very serious loss OF lie.
Health Units Established.
As a result of this experience IN the
flood area, later called meeting OF
public health officials and suggesIeu
the development of stronger health
service. Out of the conferences wnicn
were called as an outgroWtn OF this
meeting. there evolved the ioea OF tne
most effective means Of strengthening
the Public Health Service in harmony
with the spirit of our American insti.
t,itions. Bv this mean the idea OF
the county health unit. That is: that
every county in the United States
should set up for itself, as its minimum
health organization, a unit consisting
Of a doctor, a sanitary engineer and a
trained nurse. These units were estao-
lished in 100 counties in the flood area,
and the extraordinarily successful re-
suits of their work confirmed the wis
dom of the plan. The public heaitn

in these counties for 10 months after
the flood was so much better than 1t
had been in the 18 months before the
disaster as to prove an object lessen in
what could be done by organized public
health work.
BY every means within my reach I
have ever since promoted the idea OF
establishing these units in every one
Of our 5000 counties in the United
States. have frequently helped the
voluntary cooperating groups to raise
the funds for such units by public sub
scription. and many times, through
conferences and in other ways. have as
sisted in promoting legislation in the
States by which State governments
have supplemented these funds on the
familiar basis Of duplicating from the
State treasury the sums raised locally
by the county or municipal govern
ments. have gone farther than that.
Although I am generally opposed to
Federal subsidies to the States, yet I
have regarded contagion as one inter-
state question and have recommended
Federal contributions to such a uni
versal service.
Favors U. S. Encouragement.
I am in favor, as a constructive
measure of public economy, of pro-
gram to be carried out en- such wise
lines to reduce contagious disease with
Government encouragement. If COM
municable diseases could be reduced by
even one-third, such reduction would
repay the country more than a
thousand-fcld its cost by its saving of
the present losses in productive time of
workers and its saving of the present
loses to school funds by absences from
classes. That is the sheer economies
Of it. But far beyond that there would
be the wealth of gain in human COM
fort and human happiness.
Still beyond that there Is the gain
Of definite community action looking to
the protection Of the home-the CO.
work Of social wellbeing, with all its
women Of a further security to their
families against the menace of con-
tagion and i'll health.
And even beyond that in importance
there Is the wellbeing Of the future
generations of oyr children, the build
ing up Of safeguards around the home
and the health Of the parents and Of
the growing family, which will con-
tribute to the production of healthier
and more virile race and to the pres
ervation not only of the treasures of
childhood as a whcle but also to the
preservation of those precious excep-
tional children whose birth cannot be
predicted of any class or moment and
from whom comes the leadership CT our
democracy. to which they rise through
the free channels of opportunity in our
country
