suffering. BY the prompt applica-
ton of known and accepted methods
of treatment, for example, the an
nual toll of maternal deaths could
be cut in half; the lives Of at least
5000 newborn infants could be
saved each year. and hundreds of
thousands Of physically handicapped
children could be restored to normal
life.
In measuring the need for health
services, reliance on national aver
ages will often conceal rather than
reveal the true state of affairs.
There are tremendous variations
among different localities and in
come groups, in the extent of avail
able Care, physicians and hospitals.
The very areas and population
groups that need the care and serv-
ices most are lowest in the economic
scale, and actually receive them
least of all. A majority of the
2,000, 900 babies born each year, for
example, are born in families having
incomes below $1,000 a year. In
view of our declining population
growth, it Is a matter Of grave
concern that the areas and income
groups making the greatest con-
tribution to the national birth rate
cannot afford and do not receive
adequate medical care for mother
and child.
Affects Millions of Earners.
The needs I have been describing
are by no means confined to those
at the relief level. Tens Of millions
of families in the lower and middle
income groups-farmers, factory
hands and white-collar workers.
are unable to meet the high and
unpredictable cost of serious illness.
These families, making up the bulk
of the population, ask only that
some economic mechanism be de-
vised to enable them to pay their
own way.
In addition to these deficiencies
in care and services, there is COM
pletely lacking any systematic pro-
lection of the individual against loss
of income in times of sickness.
American workers are losing about
one billion dollars year through
disability not arising out of their
employment. If only temporarily
disabled, the wage Garner finds his
income cut off precisely at the time
when medical bills make their great
est drain on his meager resources.
If permanently disabled, he finds
himself thrown upon the human
scrapheap, unemployed and unem-
playable. In either event, whether
sickness lasts for a week or a life
time, he has no recourse whatever
to unemployment or compensation
benefits in the prime of life, or to
retirement benefits when he reaches
the age of IS.

Chest. cannot urge too strongly
that you give generously and with
Va full heart toward the support of
these voluntary organizations, which
have made such splendid record
Of community service. Between them
and the public authorities there
has always existed spirit Of
partnership. Toward the care Of
needy patients, the voluntary hos
pitals now receive from State and
local government aggregate contri-
buttons at least equal to the aggre-
gate gifts received from private
philanthropic sources. The Federal
Government makes the fullest pos
sible use of their facilities, in the
care of crippled children under the
Social Security Act.
The national health program is
framed in that spirit. Where quail
fled hospital facilities are available
for needy patients, our first objec-
tive is to encourage their use, by CO.
operating with the States in extend
ing the necessary financial help
No new hospital construction will
be aided except upon definite
showing, through impartial State
and local surveys, that existing
facilities, private as well as public,
are inadequate to meet the clearly
demonstrated need. The localities
must also show they can maintain
any new facilities according to sound
financial. medical and personnel
standards. nave pledged, and the
Senate committee is agreed, TO
clarity the intent of the bill in these
respects. Every encouragement will
be given to the continued and vigor-
GUS activity of the voluntary hos
pitals as an essential part Of the
national health program.

less be repeated, that we cannot
afford to make any expenditures

health security Of the American
people. do not agree and believe

been reinforced by the awakened
strength of free people.
And so today, amid the strife and
confusion of the Old World, the
ramparts we watch must embrace all
the instruments for economic and
human adjustment we have 50 re-
Gently and so carefully forged-labor
standards and market standards,
soil, forest and water conservation,
slum clearance, unemployment in
surance, security in old age. The
protection and advancement Of these
instruments are as essential to our
democratic life as the safety Of our
geographical frontiers.
None Of these economic problems,
which have engaged our earnest at
tention in the years since 1888, was
created by the great depression. All
Of them were in some measure part
of the price we pay for the material
benefits of a machine age. All Of
them had been aggravated by long
neglect. And in each instance, our
task was to substitute systematic
safeguards for haphazard relief, to
find ways of preventing the UNDER
lying causes rather than dealing
with the results after they had
gotten out of hand.
A national health program raises
the same challenging issues, in a
field of human need that extends
into every home in the land. We
cannot boast of attaining social
security so long as that program
remains on our list Of unfinished
business.
Needs Dwarf Accomplishments.
In the last few years, under the
impetus of Federal health programs
guided by the Childrens Bureau
and the Public Health Service, we
have seen greater advances in pub
lie health work than in any similar
period of our history But the
record of impartial surveys, and the
testimony Of reliable experts bear
witness, that the medical needs
which remain uncared for, dwarf
what has already been accomplished.
More than half the counties in
the United States have no full-time
trained public health officer; hun
dreds of counties are without
public health nurses, and only
fortunate few have maternal
and child health personnel suffl-
cient to meet their needs under pro-
fessional standards of adequacy.
The combined Federal, State and
local preventive health measures are
utterly inadequate to cope with
fundamental health problems affect
ing the welfare of millions of our
citizens, such as maternal and child
care, venereal disease, pneumonia,
tuberculosis and occupational dis
eases. Yet these are the fields
where comparatively small expendi-
lures now will yield the greatest
savings in human life and human

Gray Tells Of Talks
With Two u. 5. Officials
BY the Associated Press

BY the Associated Press.
Ben Grey. public relations expert,
who recently figured as mystery
man" in the Securities and Exchange
Commissions investigation of Asso-
coated Gas & Electric Co., told today
of talking with two administration
officials about how much money the
utility concern would be willing to
spend on new construction.
Mr.. Gray said the two were Frank
r. McNinch, chairman of the Fed
eral Communications Commission
and former chief of the Power Com
mission, and Ben Cohen, Govern
ment attorney. He said his appoint
ment with Mr.. McNinch had been
made for him through the White
House"
Mr.. Grey testified at hearing be-
fore Trial Examiner William Swift
of the S. E. C. His name first en-
tered the inquiry some weeks age
when it was brought out that AS
sociated Gas & Electric had paid
him $55,000 in 1887 for services
which were at that time undesig-
mated.
The witness said he spent an hour
with Chairman McNinch and told
him how much money Associated
Gas would be willing to spend In
new construction if jeopardy tax
liens against the system could be
temporarily lifted so the company
could refund obligations.
He said some of these converse
tions with Mr.. McNinch were held
after he was no longer on the AS
sociated Gas pay roll.
