That means, he ex- plained, that no action win be talk on on judicial appointments, post rnasterships, and others.
 "Of course, there may Do excep- tons but no decisions as to what kind has been reached,v he said.
 How about cabinet appoint ments?" he was asked.
 "We would not do anything to emberrass the president" he said.

tioners and agencies which more closely approximates the medical requirements of tho people.
 4. Current expenditures for medical care, in rural and semi- rural areas. arc insufficient to in- sure. even approximately adequate service, to support necccssary fak cilities, or to provide satisfactory remuneration to the practitioners.
 .. Many practitioners, particu- larly well-trained recent gradu- ates. should have opportunities to earn larger net incomes than they now receive. Incomes of gen. eral practitioners and of special ists should be more nearly equal than nt present. The opportunity and incentive for "fee-splitting'' should be removed.
 6. Better control over the quail ity Of medical service is needed, and opportunities should be pro- vided for improving quality as rapidly in the future as 1t has been in the past. Improvement of the quality of service would in- clude: elimination of practice by unqualified. "cult"l practitioners; control over practice of secondary practitioners (like midwivcs, chir- opodists and optometrists); re- gtriction of practice of specialties to-those with special training and ability; moro opportunity for post graduate study for physicians, particularly rural practitioners; more opportunity for physicians to exchange experiences and to as- sist each other; better control, through supervision and further education. over the work of cer- tain physicians and dentists who even though fisregulprly licensed arc not competent for many functions.
 z. There should be moro ef. fective control over the number and type of practitioners trained, and their training should be ad- JuSted to prepare them to serve tho "trne" needs of the people.
 8. There is q need for rcduc- ton of waste in many directions, such as the money spent on uri- necessary medication. on services of poorly qualified or utterly un- qualified "cultists," and wastes due to idle time of practitioners, high overhead" of private medical and Mental practice, unused hospital accommodations, and the sending Of patients from place to place for medical service.

 III.
 The committee recommends the extension of all basic public health services - whether pro- vided by governmental or non- governmental agencies---so that they will be available to the en. tire population according to its needs. Primarily this extension requireS increased financial sup port for official health depart lnerts and full-time trained health officers and members of their staffs whose tenure iss de- pendent only Upon professional and administrative competence.
 HI.
 Tho committee recommends that the costs of medical care to be placed on q group pay- fnent basis, through the use of insurance, through the use of taxation, or through the use of both these methods. This is not meant to preclude the con- tinuations of medical service pro- vlded on an individual fec basis for those who prefer the pres ent method. Cash benefits, 1. C.. compensation for wage- Joss due to illness, if and when pro- vided, should be separate. and distinct from medical services.
 NV.
 The committee recommends { that the study, evaluation, and coordination of medical service beconsidered important func- tions for every state and lo- cal community, that tNngencies 1be- formed to exercise these fpnc- tons. and that the coordination of rural with urban services re. ceive special attention.
 V.
 The committee makes the fof- lowing recommendation in the field of professional education: (a) That the training Of physi- clans give increasing emphasis to the teaching. of health and the prevention of disease; that more effective efforts be made to provide trained health officers; that the social aspects of medical practice Do given lgreater atten- ton; that Bpecialtfeg be restrict- ed, to thos0 specially qualified; and that postgraduate education- af opportunities be- increased; (b) that dcntal students bo given q broador educational background; Gel. that pharmaceutical educn- tilon place more strens on the pharniacist's responsibliities and opportunities for public ecrvices .(d) that nurnin8 educatioH be

In spite of the large volume of free work done by hos- pitals, helath departments, and individual practitioners, and in spite of the sliding scale of charg- es, 1t appears that each year near ly one-half of the individuals in the lowest income group receive no professional medical Or dental attention of any kind. curative or preventive,
