D. {. Hospitals Brand
Public Health
Plan as Dangerous

The representative OF Washing
tons hospitals today characterized
Federal Security Administrator
Ewing's sweeping 10-year health
plan as dangerous to public health
and to the Nation" because "its pur-
pose is to bind a great profession
in the intricacies of bureaucratic
red tape"
The program, proposing a COM
pulsory national health insurance
plan and vastly increased Govern
ment subsidies for more hospitals
and training facilities, has the COM
plete Endorsement of President Tru-
man. But it drew immediate fire
from the medical profession and
the Republican Congress.
In four-page statement, William
R. Castle, president of the Hospital
Council of the National Capital
Area. added hospital opposition and
charged that Mr.. EWing's figures
determining health and hospita,
needs "are largely guesswork.
Federal Aid Held Needed.
Mr.. Castle said he agreed that
there are not enough hospitals ano
the Government must stand at least
partial expense of future hospital
construction.
1T is not true that the Govern
ment must underWrite and 'subsidize
a significant portion of maintenance
cost" he added. THE monet that
happens. the Government will
strangle hospital administration with
rules and regulations When
a man is sick or injured, there is
not time to fill in dozens of forms"
The nursing shortage is critical,
Mr. Castle said, but young women
seem to prefer work which gives
more liberty. Unless We lapse into
totalitarianism. the Government
cannot conscript nurses or any one
else in peace time"
Compulsory Insurance Opposed.
Challenging Mr.. EWing's state
ments taht voluntary medical pre-
payment plans cannot reach enough
people to serve its purpose, Mr..
Castle said compulsory insurance
never is satisfactory, and it imposes
a tremendous burden on the tax
payers"
The Ewing report, he concluded,
contains many wise suggestions.
Because the report is plausible it
may be politically useful, but plausi-
bility is not necessarily truth"

Immediate Rise
lin Milk Prices.
|Averted Here
Producers Meeting
FoiIs to Act Despite
Cent Baltimore Boost
By MolcoIm lomborne. Jr.

A milk price increase for WASH
ington has been averted, at least
temporarily, is was learned today.
The good news for consumers fol-
lows a meeting of directors of the
Maryland and Virginia Milk Pro-
ducers' Association here yesterday.
An association official told The
Star afterward that no action was
taken on an increase, but he added
that I'VE don't know what might
happen next time"
The directors are not scheduled
to meet again for a month, but the
association bylaws provide for the
calling of special meetings.
Increased in Baltimore.
Retail milk prices rose cent q
quart in Baltimore on Wednesday,
following a producer price increase
ordered August 26 by the Maryland
Cooperative Milk Producers, Inc.
It was predicted by a coop
spokesman at that time that milk
prices would rise soon in surround.
ing markets.
The Washington group apparently
decided to hold of at this time on
raising its prices.
While association officials de.
clined further comment, it is be-
lived they are disturbed, among
other things, by a drop in sales in
the event home delivered milk here
goes above an average of q cents
quart.
Bumper Crops q Factor.
Bumper corn and other grain
crops this year promise to ease
dairy farmers production costs,
High feed prices have been cited
on numerous occasions in the past
as one of the reasons for an in
crease.
The Baltimore increase places
farmers producing for the Washing
ton market in a tough spot. Nor
mally the Baltimore price is As to
81 cents per 100 pounds below the
Washington rate, but with the Sep
tember l rise, producers supplying
Baltimore are averaging Q better
return.
Another factor is that some farm
ers in the Baltimore milkshed who
have District Health Department
permits and have been shipping here
now f1nd it more advantageous to
supply Baltimore.
