BY the Associated Press.

BALTIMORE, Nov. 30.-Maj. Gen.
Paul r. Hawley, acting surgeon gen.
eral for the Veterans Administra-
ton, said yesterday that Maryland S
civil hospitals and the Veterans Ad-
ministration were considering plans
under which they would work to-
gether to provide medical care for
veterans.
Gen. Hawley, who was chief sur
geon in the European theater of
operations under Gen. Eisenhower,
spoke at the fifth annual meeting
of the Maryland-District of Colum-
bia Hospital Association here
He said there will be 10000 900
veterans of all wars in this Nation
with the completion of demobiliza-
ton and that the task of providing
them with adequate medical and
hospital care was too large for any
one Government agency"
Urges Closer Cooperation.
Another speaker, DR.. Ernest L.
Stebbins, commissioner of health
of New York City and newly ap-
/ pointed professor of public health
administration at the Johns Hopkins
School of Hygiene and Public
Health, said there exists IAN unnat-
ural and undesirable distinction be-
tween preventive and curative medi-
cine"
He recommended closer rela-
tionship between the hospitals and
public health services.
| DR.. Stebbins said increased de-
mand for hospital care has in some
| instances resulted in the lowering
of hospital standards and that few
institutions had assumed any great
social responsibility, especially In
the field of preventive medicine.
Differences in medical attention
between private hospitals and pub
! lie wards were discussed by Dr.
Joseph C. Doane. a past president
of the American Hospital Associa-
| tion and medical director of the
Jewish Hospital in Philadelphia.
British Plan Explained.
| DIR. Charles T. Maitland, senior
medical officer of England's Minis
try of Health. described the re-
gional hospital plan now under con-
sioeration in England, Scotland and
Wales.
The proposed regional plan calls
for all forms of hospital, medical
and surgical service to be supplied
within a given region which would
have at it's center a leading uni
versity or medical school, DR.. Matt
land said.
Patients would not be compelled
to enter regional hospitals, but
would be encouraged to do so, he
added. The Briton said the regional
proposal grew out of the organiza-
ton of British Hospitals for War.

HEDGES SAYS USES NOW E IN BETTER
 SERVICE POSITION

Although the U. S. Employment Service is now definitely back on a pre-war basis, it is now in position to give much better service to employers and employees alike than under war time restrictions.
 Such is the opinion of Alaska War Manpower Commission Director A. A, Hedges, who returned to his Juneau headquarters aboard the steamed North Sea after attending a meeting of regional WING officials at Seattle.
 MT. Hedges pointed out that USES offices are now able to carry on la Dor recruitment and job placement in any locality, whereas, during wartime, recruiting of workers for Alaska from many outside sources was barred
 So far, he said, nothing certain is known concerning the future status of the WING and the USES, except that the employment offices will continue to render job placing ser vice now on purely voluntary ba- sis

SEATTLE, Aug. 29.-Col. Armin F. Herold, Manager of the Seattle Chamber of Commere Aviation .oe~ partment called an emergency meet ing of the areas business and polit- ical leaders today to discuss what he said was a recommendation by Civil Aeronautics Board examiners that Seattle be "bypassed" in the estab- lishment of an airline to the Orient via Alaska.
 "They put one over on us," said Herold in reporting the examiners had favored a line through Canada from Chicago. Herold said city of ficials of Seattle and Tacoma and members of Gov. Mon c. Wallgren's Advisory Commission were among those invited and that he expected the group to ask that the Pacific Northwest be permitted to present additional testimony before the Q. A. B. make decision.
 T talked to an airline official in New York City by telephone and he told me Seattle is being put out of this because Chicago and New York want that Oriental air trade, " Herold said
 Col. w. c. Bickford, General Man ager of the Port of Seattle, said the examiners recommendation was ridiculous"
 Their talk about mail-order busi- ness from Alaska to the Middle West is Imaginable" he added.

from the varied sources of city income other than taxes. It is hoped that amount may be in creased this year-with the result that deeper whack may be taken at the deficit.
 Discounts on tax payments be- fore Sept. IS totaled about $2,500 last year, the mayor said, and a like amount to be subtracted from the tax total can be expected again this year, he added. Also, he pointed out, many taxpayers, still feeling their new assessments are unjust, will likely elect to pay only the amount of their 1944 tax and make an issue of the balance which would certainly leave the city in a hole this year if the rate margin were cut too close.
 The delay resulting from the lengthy equalization hearings may result in all tax bills not being out j, by the scheduled date, Sept. l City Clerk Jack Popejoy warned estimating that the job will take 1 week and a half to complete. A two per cent discount is allowed l by ordinance, on taxes paid before Sept. 15
