l0-Cent Slash

OCKVILLE Md, June 81.

ing the coming fiscal year, re-
mained unsigned here today as

Opposition to a continuance Of
the prevailing $1.50 rate was led
by Commissioner Clay Plummer,
appointed by Gov Harry w Nice
about three months ago to finish
out the unexpired term of Com
missioner Charles E. King. Plum
mer favors a 10-cent reduction.
Plummer declared today he had
recommended reductions in con-
templated expenditures amount
ing to more than $105,00 which
would permit the 10-cent cut. His
stand caused Commissioners Rob
ert Hagner ard Richard S. Lans-
dale, Democratic organization
members of the board, to state
they wished to make a further
study Of the budget before signing.
karin CONFIDENT
Commissioner Karn said that a.
rate Of less than $1.50 would not
raise sufficient funds to conduct
county affairs during the next 12I
months unless additional funds
were procured through a bond
issue which he vigorously opposed.
He said, however, that he felt con-
fident that the required three sig
natures would be obtained in suf-
ficient time.

BACKS HOSPITAL
INSURANCE PLANS
National Association Says
Multiple Fee System Is
Too Costly.
BY the Associated Press.

0S lie hhsoCAlcu IIeSS.
CHICAGO. June 27.-The American
Hospital Association today came out
in defense of hospital insurance plans
under which at least 1900, 900 Amer
leans are protected.
The insurance system. affordins
subscribers three weeks annual hos
pitalization, If needed, has been op-
posed by the American Medical Asso-
ciation and various groups within the
profession.
These groups include x-ray men,
anesthetists and pathologists who wish
to have their services removed as
benefits Of the hospital plans. They
demand the privilege of charging in
surance patients separate fee for
their services. on the same basis as
other medical or surgical specialists.
Adoption Of such policy, the Hos
pital Association contends, only logi-
cally would result in similar treatment
Of all hospital patients. multiple fee
system going into effect generally.
The association, in a statement OF
principles published in the July issue
Of its official organ, said:
Provision of medical services in
hospitals is part of the responsibility
Of the hospital. and is consistent with
the rights, privileges and obligations
Of hospital staff physicians under
their medical licensure. The per-
formance of diagnostic and therapeutic
procedures by staff members consti-
tutes the practice of medicine in hos
pitfalls. 1t is not the practice of medi-
cine by hospitals"
Robert E. Nef, association president.
said a multiple fee system as would
result from discontinuance of the
present system of hospitals employing
and paying X-ray men and other
specialized physicians would lower
the quality of medical care, diminish
hospital efficiency and increase costs
