ST. LOUIS, Dec. 2.-Very soon
now you can go to American health
resorts where you have an unofficial
guarantee of the American Med
ical Association that the place is
good for you.
The first sign of this new move in
American health is shown here to-
day in an exhibit at the winter
meeting of the association.
It is proposed to give medical
approval to ITO American health
resorts and spas, or as many Of them
that want it and can qualify, just
the same as the majority of Amer
ican hospitals are now approved for
quality of service.
Four Resorts Approved.
Four resorts have been approved
and are listed in the new exhibit
Nineteen others are listed where
approval will be given as soon as
formalitieS are finished.
The exhibit shows what you really
get at health resort, from the
doctors point of view. Air, mineral
waters and baths are rated good but
not important compared with rest.
What does you the most good is
sleep without drugs. And relaxa-
tions, baths, messages, sweats and
other things are arranged so that
you are sure to be sleepy afterward,
Qualifications for approval are:
ITO be located where special climate
and other natural healing agents
are found, to have a physician as
medical director, to have a plant
suitable to administer physical
treatments and with the natural
agents, mineral waters and peloids." +"

the United Nations.

cial experts who are to draft a
formula for solving the Berlin
currency tangle scheduled meeting
within "a hours of the groups crea-
ton by former Security Council
President Juan Bramuglia.
At the same time a high French
official warned that something
new" will be needed to end the
Russian-Western power rift over the
blockaded former German capital
The official said a mere formula
to end currency problems would not
be enough to cope with the division
Of Berlin into rival governments.
DR.. Bramuglia, who has led me-
diation efforts by the six neutral
nations of the Council, instructed
the committee to draft Berlin cur
rency regulations acceptable to both
sides before the end of December. .

The doctor in charge must be a
member of his county medical So
ciety, which is the official badge of
ethical medicine, and also makes
him member of the American Med
ical Association. The A. M. A. plans
to prevent exaggerated claims and
dangerous treatments. The exhibit

Gil on Physical Medicine of the
American Medical Association. The
exhibit shows resorts in all except
13 States.
The governing body Of A. M. A.,
its house of delegates, set up a ma
tional enrolment agency yesterday
in the newest move of organized
medicine to counter proposed Fed
eral health care. This body will try
to spread prepaid medical care, by
group practice and other private
means, so that more and more peo-
pie can get this reduced cost care
no matter where they live or where
they go in this country.
This agency will not try to con-
soiidate all the groups, but proposes
to let each community and State de-
velop its own. and then to try to CO.
ordinate them for national service.
The four approved resorts are the
Saratoga Spa, Saratoga Springs,
N. Y; the Baker. Mineral Wells,
Tex; the Majestic, Marlin, Tex,
and the Homestead. Hot Springs, Va.
The resorts mentioned which are
not yet inspected or accepted but
which have a physician in charge Of

| Palestine Arabs Seek
To Join Trans-Jordan,
Abdu|Iah s Envoy Says
BY the Assoeiotsd Press

LONDON, Dec. "A group of
Palestine Arabs has asked King
Abdullah of Trans-Jordan to
rules over a proposed union Of
his kingdom and Arab Palestine,
the Trans-Jordan legation said
today.
Delegates or representatives
from three purely Arab Palestine
districts-Ramallah, Jerusalem and
Hebron-have approached Abdul
lah and asked him to be their
king" a legation spokesman an
nounced. There has been no reply
from Abdullah."
The proposal was made at a con-
ference yesterday in Arab-occupied
Jericho, the biblical city north Of
the Dead Sea, under the presidency
of Sheik Mohamed Jabari. The
conference was called "the general
Palestine congress"
Denies Proclamation Reports.
The legation spokesman denied
Middle East reports that King
Abduliah, whose British = trained
Arab Legion holds part Of the Arab
section Of Palestine, had already
been proclaimed king of union
of Palestine and Trans-Jordan.
A dispatch last night from Am
man, Abdullah's capital, said Sheik
Jabari had told Abdullah of
proposals by the congress and
asked him, in the name of all
Palestinians, to take steps for uni
fication by the two. countries.
Abdullah, enthroned as king Of
Trans-Jordan under an agree
ment with Britain in 1916, was
quoted as replying:
IT have many times said that ]
and my armies are at the disposal
of Palestinians. I will carry on the
responsibility you are putting now
on my shoulders. I will commune
cate your congress proposals to my
cabinet and other Arab states cabi-
nets and I am sure all will do their
best for your welfare"
Proposals Not Stated.
Just what the congress proposals
were, the Amman dispatch did not
say. However, the kings statement
suggested all would be subject to
oficial decisions of the whole Arab
group-Trans-Jordan. Egypt, Syria,
Lebanon, 1raq, Saudi Arabia and
the Yemen.
A tangled political, and military
situation arising from the Arab
Jewish war forms the background
Abdullah, 66, long has advocated
the formation of one large Arab
nation-which he would call Greater
Syria - by uniting Trans-Jordan.
Syria, Lebanon, Palestine and 1raq.
However, he angrily denied less
than six months ago a furry OF re-
ports that he favored future union
of Palestine and Trans-Jordan. He
told an interviewer June 13 II will
not take any decision concerning the
future of Palestine which will not
be in complete agreement with all
the Arab states"
