- Chest X-Ray Objectives
Some Reasons for Cooperating Toward the Success
Of This Wholesale Community Project
By Thomas G.. Buchanan

Widely feared, and as widely misunderstood.
tuberculosis is the Districts NTH ranking cause
Of death.
Today, and for six months hereafter, the
entire adult population Of Metropolitan WASH
ington is being asked to help stamp it out.
The District Health Department, the United
States Public Health Service and the District
Tuberculosis Association offer all citizens free
chest x-rays that will either set their minds at
rest or. at the worst, give them chance to
seek treatment before It's too late.
The health authorities hope to get COM
plete picture Of the tuberculosis problem here
the first ever obtained in a city Of this size.
When they know its proportions they say, it
will be possible to draw up plans for successfully
combating the disease.
Reading Of plans to bring mobile x-ray
equipment within easy access of the most re-
mote suburbs, 80 that all may take part In the
survey, the citizen may recall recent press
accounts Of shortages Of hospital beds and
attendants In the municipal institutions for
tuberculosis.
With hundreds OF known cases Of tubercu-
losis waiting for months for hospital treatment,
he may well ask, what purpose can be served
by spending time and money to detect other
unfortunates?
Is it merely matter of putting this misery
on paper, in the hope that when the size OF
the health problem is known, the community
may be reused to demand more hospital facili-
ties for tuberculosis?
That, alone, would probably justify the sur
vey In many minds. But 1t isn't the only reason
for the study. To understand the problem
requires some knowledge Of the nature Of the
disease.
Key Of Treatment is Rest.
When tuberculosis germs attack the lungs,
nature tries to stop their invasion by seal
ing of the site Of each infection in a web
like "tubercle." At nrst the tubercle is
delicate, rips apart ut the slightest pull. Later
1t may become tough enough to stop the
spread Of tuberculosis damage to other parts
Of the lung.
The key to successful treatment of tuber-
culosis Is, therefore, rest. The work OF the
lung can be greatly reduced by avoidance
Of any unnecessary exertion. man who
runs hard must take so deep breaths .
minute; walking, he needs only Is, and If he
lies fiat in bed, as little as 10 shallow breaths
in the same time. Doctors can collapse q
patients lung II necessary, to give 1t COM
plete rest.
But tuberculosis is an insidious malady, not
easily detected in its early stages. You can't
rely on your own home diagnosis of It's
symptoms The only safe way Is to get an
x-ray at frequent intervals.
Conceding the Importance to the individual
Of learning of his condition in time to get
the rest so vital to his recovery, it remains
to be shown that the community as = whole
will benefit from an accurate appraisal Of
its tuberculosis problem, even though it lacks
hospital beds to care for all the cases already
known.

Mon Tomorrow

A New York anthropologist is of the
opinion that human beings will be bit
queer looking 100000 years from now. He
thinks they will have small faces, huge
round heads, bigger brains and four-toed
feet This probably will come as inter-
esting news to people who like to let their
imaginations wander ages and ages ahead
of their time, but most of us will be dis
posed to greet it with monumentally
indifferent so what?"
After all, walking through an upended
world on our weary five-toed feet, with
our careworn 1948 faces, our multishaped
aching heads and our medium-size be-
wildered brains, we can hardly be expected
to get excited over what our descendants
are likely to look like in the year 501948

Time to Get Down to Cases

Only three weeks remain before JOINT
hsarinps are scheduled to commence on
the Auchincloss home rule legislation.
I'm to this time the legislation has been
described In terms Of the basic principles
To be followed. Now 1t has been expressed
in the precise language of the Identical
bills drawn for introduction In House and
Senate today.
It behooyes community organizations to
besin the serious study Of this legislation,
for study is required to support testimony
before the joint hearings beginning on
February 2.
It Is unnecessary to speculate on the
uossibilities of favorable action at this
session on the Auchincloss plan. But the
thorough preparation of the legislation by
Mr.. Auchincloss' subcommittee, the COM
mendable decision for joint hearings, the
nature OF the proposals for home rule and
the generally sympathetic attitude OF con-
sressional leaders, make for better pros
pects than in many years.
We need discussion and understanding
Of legislation which may effect profound
changes In local government and the LIE
Of the community The hearings will afford
the best opportunity, not merely for
expressions relating to the principles but
TO details of the bill itself. Unless there
IL public understanding and active interest
manifested in perfecting the legislation we
are apt to be unready for the involved
changes In local government that would
follow congressional approval.
Up to this time there has been hesi-
fancy to express detailed criticism OF the
Auchincloss plan for fear OF criticism OF
its guiding principle government. The
time for such hesitancy is past. If Con-
xress Is now inclined, Is an increasing
number Of its members seem to be, Tor
considered experiment In representative
local government under the unique condi-
lions prevailing in this Federal city, the
community must share the responsibility
OF Congress in making sure that the
experiment Is going to succeed.
Any subsequent suggestions made by

b directed to that objective.

In Terms of On Old Legacy

There is sentimental as well as very
practical appropriateness in the resolution
adopted by the Executive Committee OF the
Washington Chapter of the American In
stitute of Architects on the White House
balcony controversy.
The committee "disapproves as matter
of principle any action by the President or
any Government agency tending to ignore
recommendations" Of the Commission OF
Fine Arts The commission has unani-
mously disapproved the balcony, to be
added to the south portico because 1t
permanently changes the south facade
of an historic structure.
Before he left Office the late Theodore
Roosevelt wrote to the then president OF the
American Institute of Architects letter
in which he said that ". If had 1t in
my power as leave office, would like to
leave as legacy to -. the American Insti-
tute of Architects the duty OF preserving q
perpetual eye of guardianship over the
White House to see that it is kept un-
marred and unchanged from this time on. !"
The Washington chapter has lived up
to the spirit of that trust and more than
once has added its influential voice in
protest over unWise changes in the White
House. Since the first Roosevelt's day. sub
sequent Presidents strengthened the hand
of the Fine Arts Commission, as discussed
in Horace Peaselee's letter today, in guard
ing against the sometimes whimsical de-
sires of White House tenants.
1t is difficult to believe that the Presi
dent, on careful consideration of the i'm
plications Of such decision on his part,
will ignore the recommendations of the
Fine Arts Commission and proceed to,
make change in White House architec-
ture in the very year which is to determine
his own continued occupancy of the man
sion.

and Washington are alike careful to avoid
q formal splitting Of Germany in the
political sense. And In this they are
seconded by much Of German public
opinion. The aim will be to make Bizonia
an economically "going concern"
OF course, all this is bitterly opposed by
Moscow. and is regarded by France with
misgivings. 1t is expected that Moscow
viii set up in its zone parliament" with
the avowed aim OF reconstituting German
political unity-of course, under Russian
control That will appeal to German
national sentiment and may complicate
the situation in Bizonia But Washington
and London feel obliged to limit them
selves to the economic field.

Bizonku's 'Ersutz' Government

The new regime now in process OF estao-
Hshment In the combined area OF western
Germany under American and British
military occupation Is as unprecedented as
the entire situation OF the former German
Reich is anomalous 1t is obviously an
attempt to choose the lesser OF two evils
The root dificulty runs back TO the
nature Of the Allied conquest Of Germany
which destroyed not merely the Hitler
regime. but the German state as well.
Since the Naxi capitulation there has been
no Germany" In the juridical sense, but
only q mass of people inhabiting territory
without sovereignty and with no we'll
defined frontiers. AL effective authority
rests in the military governments OF the
occ-pying powers who have divided the
former Reich into four zones, with a
central iaison in Berlin, the former capi-
ul, likewise divided into four segments.
Whom the victorious big Three" (Amer-
ica Britain and Russia) met In Berlin IN
the spring Of 1s45 they made the Potsdam
Agreement, with which France was sub
sequently associated. This agreement en-
visssed the eventual restoration OF
German sovereignty and, in the interim,
provided that Germany was to be treated
"A an economic unit. Unfortunately, that
psoyision has remained a dead letter,
owing not only to Moscow's desire to
dominate all Of Germany, but also to
frances opposition to restoration OF
German political unity and the French
desire to internationalize the Ruhr, Ger
many's economic heart. The upshot has
been German economic paralysis which
prevents recovery Of any kind.
This has thrown . tremendous burden
upon America and Britain, which will
henceforth be mainly borne by the United
States owing to Britain's financial strin-
sency. For the past year, the American
and British zones have been increasingly
co-ordinated economically, and this fusion
process has been accelerated by the failure
Of the four occupying powers to agree at
the recent London Conference of Foreign
Ministers.
What is now being attempted is the
capitalization of this process into what is
best described as an economic govern
msnt" of Bizonia, run by native Germans
though under the ultimate authority of
the two occupying powers. It will have
many of the prerogatives normally asso-
ciated with sovereignty, such as the powers
to tax, to issue money and to enforce its
decisions. There will be an economic
council standing above the local substates
or "Laender" already set up in the Amer
lean and British zones. There will also
be a two-house legislative body, bizonal
bank empowered to issue currency and a
bizonal high court to review and interpret
the acts and decisions of the executive
and legislatiYe branches. Lastly, this en-
tire setup will probably be authenticated
by an occupation statute to be known as
q charter. However, the new regime will
have no political powers, in the strict sense
of the term, and will thus not form a
sgovernment" It's ofiicial title will be the
sisonal Eco9omic Administration London

Scarcity of Rural Doctors

In awarding a gold medal to Doctor
Archer C. Sudan of Kremmling, Colorado,
as an "outstanding family doctor" the
American Medical Association has directed
attention to>a major public-welfare prob
lem-the scarcity of physicians in rural
communities. And Doctor Sudan, in &C
cepting the award, has stressed one OF
the principal reasons for this shortage.
It is not so much shortage OF doctors,
he told his medical colleagues, as a short
age of modern hospital and clinic facilities
needed to attract physicians to rural areas.
Doctor Sudan knows by experience what
1t means to be a country doctor. The
town of Kremmling has about six hundred
inhabitants. It is in Sparsely settled
Rocky Mountain section of Grand County.
He is literally on duty twenty four hours
day
Is 1t any wonder that State health
authorities are manifesting growing con-
Germ over the reluctance of young doctors
to establish themselves in such remote
communities? Doctor Sudan places the
blame not on the medical school grad
yates, but on the communities which have
not kept pace with other sections in offer
ing inducements to the young practitioner.
Many small towns and cities have awak-
ened to their responsibilities, he said, and
are building hospitals with local, State
and Federal funds. AS these modern medi-
cal facilities become available, more and
more doctors will agree to go into rural re-
gions. Federal aid is available on match
ing basis under the Hill-Burton Act, and
many towns have taken advantage of this
financial assistance. More will make use
of this opportunity to improve the health
of their citizens when there is wider
realization of the incentive which nearby
hospital facilities have for physicians con-
templating careers as country doctors
Evening star., 1948-01-12

The answer Is that according to generally
accepted public health theory. not all cases
Of tuberculosis need to be hospitalized
But every active case, every individual whose
condition offers q continuous threat OF In
lection to those with whom he comes In
frequent contact, needs to be isolated as soon
as possible II the disease is to be kept from
spreading.
This isolation can be effected in hospital
II hospital beds are lacking it can be carried
out in the home, with proper medica,
supervision.
Priorities In Hospitalization.
Given the shortage Of hospital beds which
prevails in the District, = priority must be
established for their use. The order Of ad-
mittance recommended by the United States
Public Health Service was outlined last year
by Dr. Herman E. Hilleboe, then Assistant
Surgeon General, who represented the Federal
agency in negotiations leading up to the Dis
trtct survey.
First, he said. hospitalize the active, con-
tagious cases which still can be arrested by
proper medical treatment. THE minimA case
with laboratory and other evidence Of active
disease should be given equal opportunity with
the advanced remediable disease 10 that pro-
II the sanatorium is already flled, said DR.
Hilleboe transfer the advanced cases that are
not benefting from treatment, to make room
for patients with = chance Of recovery.
Next hospitalize the hopeless cases, If beds
are available. An isolation ward Of general
hospital may be used for this purpose. When
official said place the remaining hopeless pa
ior,fc ho hact Y,oScih1o isO1atiOY n.
nique In their homes.
There remains q large category Of tuber-
culosis victims not yet accounted for-those
who do not need to be hospitalized.
When such persons occupy hospital beds, 1t
Is doubly wasteful-a loss of income and normal
social contacts to themselves, . loss OF badly
needed hospital facilities to the community.
DR.. Francis J. Weber, chief Of the, Tuber-
culosis Control Division Of the UsFHs, re-
Gently predicted that in . mass survey Of n
large city like Washington, 10 per cent Of the
new cases discovered would be in an early
stage, and most Of these would be nonin-
fectious.
Such cases, he pointed out, 'can be cared
for by private physicians and public clinics,
assisted by public health nurses and medical
social workers Under the physicians 8
care, needless distress and tragedy can be
avoided"
If present facilities are fully utilized and If
newly discovered cases are given realistic dis
position" DR.. Weber concluded, "the increased
case load Of tuberculosis will not present q
grave problem to the community"
The purpose Of the city-wide tuberculosis
survey may thus be summarized: To give the
individual better chance to fight the disease,
and to help the community make the best
use OF It's medical facilities to prevent tuber-
culoSis from spreading
