Three years ago the Rockefeller Foundation instituted survey of the nations 10000 private nonproft health agencies The results just published reveal picture of un and duplicated effort well excellent accomplish ment.
 The report casts reflection upon the 300,000 board members and the many voluntary workers who last year collected almost 900 for the relief of suffering the eradication of disease and the creation of healthier nation Rather it suggests that widely varying efficiency of organization among various agencies has brought about great discrepancy between the incidence of disease and the money available for treatment.
 For example the National Foundation for Infantile Paralysis collected 900 in 1945 while the American Heart Association collected $100,000.
 The report suggests two remedies: central agency to give coordinaed leadership to the whole national health movement and local health councils representing all com muny agencies which would ntegrate health planning and raising and distribution of funds in the light of local needs
