Late this fall residents of Wash
ington will get picture of trans
portation facilities in the central
area of the city after the war.
For several months now a joint
survey by the Public Roads Ad-
rninistration, the District Highway
Department and the Offlce of the
Vehicles and Traffic, in co-opera-
ton with other groups, has been
under way on general transporta-
t4on problems, primarily in the CEN
trail area. .e-
The survey may lead to the even
tual construction of street-car tun-
nels, but 1t is not believed that it
will recommend subways. Accord
ing to the definitions of Capt. H. C.
Whitehurst, director of highways
tunnels are for street cars and SUBJ
ways are for rapid transit system
as in New York City.
Continuation of Study.
Actually, the present study is q
continuation of the preliminary
Report on Highway, Parking and
Related Traffic Problems" of 194l
made by the same official agencies
Little was done aAout the central
area in that study.
I'm the past" explained Capt
Whitehurst, there have been q
nttmber of traffic. transit and other
surveys. In a majority of cases
they reached no conclusions until
the 1941 report-they were just data
on traffic, which got out of date
pretty fast No one ever attempted
to put the whole. transportation
problem together.
This survey is intended to link
them all together and to draw spe-
cific conclusions and recommends.
tiOns with the objective of improv-
ing traffic and transportation con.
ditions.'
Not only is the survey concerned
With transit problems, but the report
will deal with terminal facilities in
the hroadest senSe-in other words
Capt. Whitehurst said, it will in.
clude further parking study.
Consult With Others.
During the course of the survey
the Highway Department Vehicles
and Traffic Ofice and PRA has
been in consultation with the Capital
Transit Co., the National Capital
Pafk and Planning Commission, the
Pubic Buildings Administration and
PuhJic Utilities Commission. At the

the survey.

Navy Wounded at Bethesda
High in Praise Of Doctors
They Didn't Even Duck When Shells Burst;
ltWus Just Like q Sunday Picnic, Men Soy

The smiling, happy group OF
young Navy men brought back to
the United States on the hospital
ship Refuge and who now are pa
tients at the Bethesda Naval Hoe
pital just can't think up enough
words of praise for the Army and
Navy medical men-"medics" to the
boys In the service-who served
them In the Normandy invasion.
AL Of the IL officers and men
interviewed yesterday had some
good word for the NEEDLES. Typical
Of the comment was that Of l9-year-
old Edgar s. Hayman Of Dolyest6wn,
Pa, q third-class signalman who
wanted to be . professional baseball
player before be went into the Navy.
"Our medics did . swell Job.
When shells burst over them they
never even ducked-it was just like
they were attending Sunday
picnic," young HaymAn commented.
He received q shoulder wound from
. German S8-mtilimeter gun ON
June 7 while serving with . naval
beach battalion. He Is on the mend,
but figures that by the time he gets
out Of the service he will be too old
to play ball. He has his heart set
on law now.
Saved His Leg.
II can thank an Army medic for
saving my leg" Vincent Schettino,
q, Of East Boston, Mas, said. A
first-class seaman on . patrol craft,
he was wounded in the ankle by
shrapnel on June IL. A short time
later he was being operated on
aboard q LST on the French coast.
Ensign Sam II. Bryan. 2s, Of

the luckiest Of men. He wa
wounded In the knee on June 3 by

Il WAS picked up by q pharmacist,s
mate, taken below, given morphine
and splinted up-au in about 10
minutes" Ensign Bryan. declared.

Be Reody Next FoI
BY HAROLD b. ROGERS.

ASy AAh4SOAD 8SVNI6R0s
The District OF Columbia Medical
Society is planning to inausurate
twofold medical care program to
include voluntary sickness insurance
and diagnostic clinics.
The Society's committee on medical
care has been working on the
problem for months and Is expected
to submit to the society q detailed
report with specific recommends
tions by fall
While the general public already
Is offered opportunity here to meet
its hospital bills through q kind of
prepayment insurance operated by
Group Hospitalization, Inc, this
system does not meet doctors bills.
1t pays for certain hospital expenses
only.
Would Aid Public.
II the new medical care system of,
the medical society now under con-
sideration is put into effect it would
give the general public a chance to
use the prepayment system Of in
surance to meet doctors bills In
cases Of catastrophe surgical and
obstetrical illness In hospitals, :"
where some laboratory procedures
were involved.
The diagnostic clinics would be
established In connection with hos
pitfalls here. to which doctors could
refer patients of moderate means.
There would be available facilities
by specialists Of various 6ervices,
laboratory and X-ray procedures.
Staffs Of doctors would rotate their
services, s&
Omcials OF the local medical
society previously had studied
health service plans In Michigan
and in North Carolina and have
just returned from a detailed study
Of the diagnostic clinic at Johns
Hopkins University Hospital ct
Baltimore.
The Michigan Medical Service, at
Detroit, was studied some time ago
by DR.. Frank D. Costenbader,
chairman of the society's Committee
on Medical Care, and by Theodore
Wiprud. society secretary.
Nest Successful.
The Michigan service was char
acterized by the current issue Of the
Medical Society journal, Medical
Annals, as "the most successful
experiment In prepaid medicine,
sponsored by . medical organiza-
ton" For the first time, says the
Annals. ut Is in the black" This
service offers prepayment surgical,

care in hospitals, with certain
limits. tits now considering expan-
sion to include medical care in q
hospital.
The Hospital Saving Association
Of North Carolina, which was In
spected by local medical society ON
ciaH,; offers opportunity for patients
to pay certain hospital and doctors
bills on . single prepayment plan.
The Johns Hopkins Clinic was
studied early this week by Mr.. Wip-
rud and DR.. Harry r. Bowling,
chairman of the societys subcom-
mittee on diagnostic clinics.
Progress Reported.
Reporting definite progress in de-
veloping recommendations for the
new twofold plan here, Mr.. Wip-
rud said today that it was "very
important" to look into both the
benefits, and weaknesses Of differ

IF we live with things too much

Whitehurst said
In instructions to the consul
