following reported assault by two

ing of August 49,
Washington police quoted the dead
mans son. Jesse, also a cab driver
of the same address, as saying his
father had contracted to carry two
men and couple to North Beach
An argument ensued when the pas
sengers suggested being driven to a
place where they could obtain drinks
and the couple left, Washington
police said.
Tive sons version was that. the
two male, passengers assaulted his
father on the Marlboro pike neal
Andrews Field and Mr.. Moore was
unconscious for about two hours be-
fore he drove home. He was ill the
next day and the son took him to
Gallinger Hospital. His death was

Doctors Sliding Scale

Speeiol Dispatch 10 The Sior

CAMP LET'S, Md, Sept. s.
Melvin Dollar, new executive direc-
tor of the Group Health Association
of Washington, told the Potomac
Cooperative Federation, in session
here, that "the emergency device
of a sliding scale of fees" applied
by both physicians and hospitals,
has long since been outgrown."
He termed this method of SELL
ing medical care the most thor
ough-going example of laissez-faire
economy"
Health is indeed the peoples
business" he declared. land the only
agency that represents all the people
is the Federal Government. Health
care is a matter of social concern,
for either directly or indirectly the
whole of society pays the bill for
sickness. If the bill is not paid
through subsidy of medical care it
Is paid through higher prices result
ing from the loss of productivity
among those who are sick"
Mr.. Dollar charged that private in
surance and even the Blue Cross
plans failed to deal with the, prob
lem of a well-planned and carefully
integrated health service. They also
fail, he said, ito solve the problem
of comprehensive medical care
Walter r. Volckhausen, secretary
of CHA, explained the CHA policy
Of extending its membership to nom
Federal employees in the District.
He told the conference that the
Group Health Association was the
only comprehensive prepaid con-
sumer-owned medical care program
available in the District. No one
derives ANY profit" he said, from
money spent by CHA members on
medical care
officials of CHA also welcomed
the creation of the new Cooperative
Health Association of the United
States as ''step in building an or
ganization of the people, who are
the consumers of medical care"

Tracing Mr.. Kemp's movements
from the time he left his home at
372 Thirty seventh place Sc, at q
pm. police encountered no difficulty
until they reached the point where
he left the tavern with two friends
at HAS pm. The friends were
questioned and released.
Sergt. Felber said he learned that
the trio went to a hamburger stand
after departing from the tavern
Mr.. Kemp then presumably took a
bus at 1890 am, but police have
been unable to find any Capital
Transit Co. employe who remembers
seeing him. Such a bus ride, DO
lice said, would take only IS min
utes, leaving a gap of nearly half
an hour to be accounted for until
the 24-year-old man was stabbed.
Sergt. Felber said robbery has been
practically ruled out as a motive
because Mr.. Kemp's pockets. con-
tanning only IL cents, were undis-
turbed.
At present, police believe the killer
may have been known to the slain
man because there were no signs
OF a struggle. Mr.. Kemp's clothing
was unmussed and neighbors heard
no commotion in the street at the
estimated time of the murder, police
said.
A detailed search of sewers and
wooded areas near the Kemp home
failed to reveal the murder weapon
yesterday but police said the search
would continue in the hope it may
have been discarded by the killer.

NEW CITY TRUCKS
DELIVERY SLATED
Drivers Leave Today To
Obtain Four Vehicles,
Bought For $4,000
X. B. ROBERTSON

Four city truck drivers will leave
Wilmington this morning for Detroit
to drive four Gar Wood load pack
er machines to this city for use
by the street cleaning department,
P. R. Benson. city manager, an
nounced yesterday afternoon.
These four load packers trucks,
which cost the city $40, 900, are I'm
derstood to be the latest word in
street cleaning equipment, in that
they can pack far heavier loads
of trash and garbage than the old
equipment now in use.
The bodies for these new gar
bage trucks r built by Gar
Wood company and they have just
been mounted on Dodge motor
trucks.
J. E. Gilmore, Jr., service ma
mayer for the city garage, and three
other men are going to Detroit to
drive the new machines to this
city, and they are expected to
reach Wilmington some time
Thursday.
The new trash trucks are equip
ped So that they may be loaded
directly from the rear, where a
trash and garbage packing device
takes up the trash and pushes it
forward in a compact manner,
thus making the trucks capacity
double that of the city's present
garbage trucks.
City Manager Berson said that
these new trucks would greatly
increase the efficiency of the street
cleaning department.
