WHAT ABOUT THE FUTURE7

Only IS of the - hospitals which operate
Michigan Hospital Service their public
ice organization have given notice of intention to
withdraw One other is quoted S having the same
intention, but notice this effect has yet been
received. These 8 hospitals contain only 2,643 OF
the 1852 beds in Mchgan's Blue Cross Psrtioi-
pating institutions
We deeply regret the evidence that false counsel
has induced these hospitals undertake precptate
and -considered action. We believe that II
all of these hospitals entertain the desire
serve the public, without thought of personal
institutional gain, that motivates the bulk of Mchi
gans nonprofit hospitals In this instance believe
that these Is institutions have been seriously mis-
guided, and hope that upon reflection they will
their responsibility TO share in the operation
and regulation of Michigan Hospital Service. This
organz alton is a nonprof service established by the
hospitals for the service of the people II would be
unfortunate for any bloc of hospitals profess it's
permanent inability work with the other hospitals
for such worthy purpose.
Nevertheless, these 10 hospitals have entered
into with Michigan Hospital Service sub
scribers They cannot withdraw from this contract
except upon sir months notice. The Is hospitals
which have given notice of Withdrawal have advised
that they will perform their obligations under this
contract during the siX-month period Michigan
Hospital Service will do everything possible pro-
teet the interests of its subscribers.

Furthermore a special committee selected by
the hospitals themselves discussing the whole prob
lem of hospital with Michigan Hospital Serv-
ice. This committee includes representation of the
IS withdrawing hospitals. Michigan Hospital Service
has willingly agreed that it would undertake any
revisions in payments hospitals worked by this
committee and endorsed by the majority of the par

China Truce Extension
Fais 10 Clear Talks
OF Pessimistic Air
BY the Associated Press

NANKING, June %. China's
peace-seeking committee of three
met today in an atmosphere OF pes
simism unrelieved by extension OF
the Manchurian truce to June 80.
1t was generally expected that the
committee-of which Gen. George C
Marshall is the neutral member
might reach agreement on some
points. But the mutual distrust
strongly voiced in Chinese Com
munist and government quarters
dampened hopes of a general settle
ment of China's internal strife.
They were further dampened by
word from Changchun that the
American branch of executive
(truce) headquarters had been fatty
refused permission to send cease
fire teams into eight Communist
held areas of Central and Northern
Manchuria.

Tom Masterson, in q dispatch from
the Manchurian capital, said the
Red commander at Harbin also re-
jected executive headquarters re-
quest to permit the dispatch of
American observers into the Com
munist areas.
Mr.. Masterson said the headquart-
ers delegation, led by American Col
Raymond Tour-Tillot of Lindsay
Calf, which flew to Harbin Friday

banqueted. Gen. Lin was firm, how
ever, in his rejection of the delega-
tions requests. and Col. Tour I1llot' s

Gen. Lin was reported to have
told Col. Tour -Tillot he would not
