 He reached over and stroked her forehead tenderly, brushing back the golden ringlets.

program" to afford better medical
care to persons of low income.
The letter from the president OF
the Medical Society, which here.
tofore has bitterly opposed group
health, was mailed last night and
received by Mr.. Kirkpatrick this
morning.
The missive outlined a tentative
plan whereby the Medical Society
and the Group Health organiza-
ton might work together, and DR..
Neill closed by saying he awaits
your reply with interest"
Commenting on the letter, Mr..
Kirkpatrick said:
Having just received DR..
Neill'S letter I have not yet had
time to study it in detail, After
having done this, and con-
conferred with others in the
Group Health organization, we
will reply to DR.. Neill."
$50 far I have not received
the letter, but merely read it
in the morning newspapers.
However, after I have received
the letter and had a chance to
study it, I most certainly will
reply to the proposal"
Officials of the Medical Society
said that the letter was mailed to
Mr.. Kirkpatrick yesterday.
While the medical society was
making this move toward peace,
members of the CHA met last
night in the Department of Labor
auditorium and bitterly assailed
the action of the doctors.
Charges that the medical 50
ciety has an economic strange
hold" on Washington hospitals
were made at the meeting by
Perry r. Taylor, business manager
Of the Rural Identification Ad-
ministration.
Outlining the work Of the asso-
citation, Kirkpatrick hurled def
at the doctors, saying:
I'm spite of the service our
staff has been able to render,
many of our members have
found it necessary to postpone
operations, by reason of the fact
that hospitals in the District
have refused to allow your sur.
geons to perform these opera.
tons.
I'VE have no objection to the
Medical Society, as such, or to
any Of its members expressing
their opinions Of our project.
But we serve notice on them
now that we will insist on our
rights as American citizens be
not interfered with, and will re-
sist to the end any action on the
part Of the society or it's men,
bers to deny us as residents of
this community what we are en-
titled to have"
The Medical Society several
weeks ago expelled from member
ship DR.. Mario Scandiffio, pediat-
rist who joined the staff of CHA
and has threatened to GUST any
other member who affiliateS with
group health movements. i
Under regulations of Washing
Ton hospitals, no doctor who is not
b member Of the medical society
IS permitted to operate or treat
patients in the hospital, except in
case of emergency.
In the letter to Kirkpatrick, DR..
Neill said he believed a program
could be worked out providing:
1. Adequate medical care for
persons of low income.
2. Free choice Of physician.
8. A system of regular monthly
in the nature of inSur-
ance premiums.
