HOSPITALS EXTEND
INSURANCE PLAN
10000, 600 to Be on List for
Medical Care by 1910,
Director Predicts.
BY HOWARD w. BLAKESLEE,
Associated Press Science Editor.

CHICAGO, oct. 25.-Ten million
Americans will have hospital insur-
snce by 1s42 at the present rate OF
growth of this new adjunct to medical
care.
This prediction was made today at
the opening OF the American College
of Surgeons annual meeting by c.
Rufus Rorem of Chicago, director Of
the Committee on Hospitals of the
American Hospital Association.
But, he said, on present trends the
100000 will be mostly in eastern
seaboard cities and In the industrial
population as far west as Ohio. Ex-
tension of hospital insurance to rural
communities, he said, must wait on
some effective way Of enrolling sub
scribers and collecting fees"
1,250,OOO Now Paying.
At present, he said, there are a
| million and quarter Americans who
pay monthly from so to 80 cents each
| for hospital insurance, which ranges
from free services of various sorts to
reductions in private room rents in
| hospitals.
Most of these are in 35 flon-profit-
making associations which allow the
patient choice of the hospital he wishes
| to enter. None of these associations,
he added, has yet failed. There are
in addition, 35 single-hospital asso-
Citations, and some of these he reported
have failed.
New York City has the largest num-
| Der of persons with hospital insurance.
100000. Second are st. Paul and
Minneapolis with 10000; then Roch-
ester N. Y, 10000; Cleveland, 10000;
Washington. 10000, and Chapel Hill
and Durham. N. c., each $4,000.
II was explained that North Caro-
lima has two plans for hospital insur-
ance. The headquarters for one is at
Durham and for the other at Chapel
| Hill and both have the same number
Of subscribers, $4,000 each, which are
credited to the respective cities.
Service Given $4,000.
To date under these plans which
started four years ago $4,000 persons
have received hospital service. The
insured are now going into hospitals
at the rate of 10000 a month
Results Of this medical experiment
we're:
l. 1t has not disturbed the personal
relationship between patient and doc
tor which the medical profession con-
siders invaluable.
Q. 1t has had good effects in speed
ing recovery of patients who. with
out the insurance, would not have
gone to hospital.
8. There has been no let-down in
the quality of medical care to the in
sured.
4. Some doctors think the insurance
has helped patients pay fees more
promptly and none has found fees
| delayed.
Mr.. Rorem concluded that there il
little probability that the present
systems of hospital insurance will be
expanded to include fees of physicians
and surgeons. He predicted State
| supervision of hospital insurance, and
said this move may lead to including
maternity service as public health
measure.

bers jumped from an automobile that

! of them held up the cab driver, Harry
Schulman, and the others opened the
door to the tonneau, announcing:
This is a stick-up."
One of the robbers went into the
apartment building where he held
John O'Connor, the mailman, against
q wall while his companion snatched
the jewels from the two women.
Mrs. Shapiro said she lost two 0ia-
mond clips, three rings and a brace
let. From Mrs. Herman the bandits
took three bracelets, wrist watch
and a ring.
