Fear COP Congress

Ralcigh. Nov. Standardization that
passage Of the Halliburton hospital

no appropriation. and that the pros

OF speculation as to the fate of the
iar-reach!Ee medical care program
IN North Carolina.
Most OF the thinking and nearly
all of the high tension publicity di-
rccted toward the State program has
occn hypnthccated upon the propo-
Sltion that the Federal government
would bear Onc-third of the cost Of
hospital and health center construc-
ton.
One staunch advocate of the en-
rcnton reads an the old dirt road

lack IF Federal aid in no way lessons

impair prospects for meeting il
North Carolina has been counting
on something in excess of five mil
lion dollars Federal aid during the
next few years. There is still some
hope of getting substantial help, but
participation may have TO be revis-
cd.
Political observers base predictions
of GOODNESS on part of a Republican
congress to the proposition on the fact
that the need for hospitals is greater
in the South than in other sections.
"a larger share of the expected Fed
cral appropriation would have come
10 the South. Since this section has
lost many powerful places in Cong
rcss by reason Of the political up
heavcl. but continued its solid front
in voting. il is not believed Rcpub-
lican leaders will feel very kindly to-
ward the section.
So far there has been no indication
of sponsors letting up in advocacy
of the State program: if anything,
they have intensified efforts TO get
full popular support for it,
