Doctors Debate
Health Plan

In the first public debate on the
subject, printed in the current
issue of American Druggist Maya
zine, DR.. Fishbein's statements are
denied by Oscar Ewing, Federal
Security Administrator, who in
sists that the program "is no more
socialistic than fire insurance"
To the question: "Why does the
Truman Administration want to
change the present system of medi-
cal care?" Ewing answers, Meth
er the Administration nor any of
us want to change the present
system We want to change
for the better-the method of pay
ing for medical care because
for over half of our population
the cost of medical care is COM
pletely beyond the reach of their
pocketbooks."
According to Ewing, the plan
ultimately would meet dental
charges, cost of eye glasses and
hearing aid devices and of pre-
scribed drugs. 1t would permit
patients to select their own doctors
and allow doctors to reject pa
tents they didn't care to take.
Costs would be met by payroll de-
auctions.
DR.. Morris Fishbein, editor of
the Journal of the American Medi-
cal association, has charged that
the National Health Insurance
plan coming up for consideration
in Congress is a clumsily-veiled
attempt to put over socialized
medicine.
Dr. Fishbein states fatty that
Compulsory sickness insurance
would quite certainly lower the
quality O. medical care in the
United States" Mr.. Ewing, on the
contrary. says medical care will be
improved because patients will be
free TO call on the doctor early in
disease, when the Doctors work is
most useful"
Mr.. Ewing states that some doc
tors oppose National Health In
surance because they edo not un-
derstand or do not want to under
stand" its proposals while DR..
Fishbein claims that "most doc
tors oppose the plan, because
they are convinced it would be
detrimental to the peoples health"

n Tn a letter addressed to Drew
h Pearson, radio commentator, and
released to the press, Alex Hancock,
county comptroller asserts that in
his opinion "the county has
been seriously injured in the past
Is or 20 years in both financial
standing and governmental effec-
tiveness by poor publicity" and by
the apparent willingness of many
of it's newer citizens to believe any
thing but the truth" The letter in
part follows:
Dear Mr. Pearson:
Publicity received by the govern
ment of Montgomery County has
seemed to me to be generally UNI
favorable rather than favorable.
Therefore, am reluctant to critl-
CHE your column as it happeared in
the Boston Sunday Herald of Janu-
airy 2, and which you subsequently
Transcribed for Station WGAY for
the reason that | must admit that
your statements seem to show our
County in favorable light. In the
interest of truth, however, con-
slider it advisable to inform you
that some of the information given
is not correct and l hope that this
was result of misunderstanding
and that your source of informa-
ton did not Intentionally lead you
astray. For instance you state
Zone of the first things new Coun-
N Supervisor Irving McNayr dis
covered was that the County was
paying two hundred thousand dol
lars extra per year for gasoline.
The waste came through buying
at retail rates from political
friends. Now the County fuels its
trucks with wholesale gasoline
bought at 1876 cents a gallon in
stead of 1856 cents"
Since Montgomery County has
never been called upon to spend as
much as two hundred thousand
dollars a year for gasoline, it is
difficult to see how any contract
could save that amount. Further
more the County does not save ten
cents per gallon by purchasing
wholesale as would be indicated by
your figures. Since the ruling
several years ago by the Fedora
government that counties could de
s. duct Federal gasoline tax from
payments only when purchases
were made directly from the OF
company, most of the County's
purchases have been so made anc
the Federal tax deducted. Only

The nursing situation in Mont
gomery County Health Depart
ment was little brighter in 1913,
according to executives of the de-
partment. In the early part of the
year it seemed impossible to fill the
two vacancies on the staff. A news
paper advertisement in May pro-
duced several applicants and three
fine nurses were placed on the
staff.
Later Mrs. Virginia Maxwell
who is on leave for study and Mrs,
Carolyn Rawlings whoiis on matepl
nifty leave were replaced. Qualified
nurses are needed for the two
supervisory positions now vacant,
one left vacant by Mrs. Florence
Garrett, Maternity and Child
Hygiene Supersivor who is on
leave for study and the other, the
Hospital Nurse Supervisor which
position was created to investigate
hospitals and nursing homes for
licensure.
The employment of two full time
ianitors has relieved the nurses of
many "non-nurse" activities in the
Health Centers. The purchasing of
four county cars made it possible
to employ three nurses who could
not have taken the positions other
wise and to replace worn out car
for one nurse who was not finan-
cially able to replace it.
New nurses employed in 1913
are: Mrs. Lois Scoville, Colesville
area; Miss Lisolette Ursell, Poto-
mac area; Mrs. Lily Borregard,
Damascus area; Mrs. Evelyn Tor
renee, Rockville area. and Mrs.
Marie Sample, Glen Echo-Cabin
John area.
In spite of the more rosy picture
in the nursing division of the
Health Department in 1913, the de-
partment still lacks ten nurses to

MOOSE HUNTERS FAIL TO FIND ONE
 BRING BACK BEAR

A foursome that oiten hunts to- gether-two father-and-s teams returned this week from fine moose hunt-but no moose. Judge George w. Folta and Dick, Mark Jensen of Douglas and John are the hunters.
 Those who know about Judge Folta's affinity to another animal will have guessed the rest, with out further reading.
 Of course, they brought back a bear!
 Having returned to their base, planning to break up their Chilkat River camp, the four had been long asleep when, about 4.30 a.m., Judge Folta awakened to the sound of heavy body moving between the bunk tent and the other, where all the grub was.
 Silently, the judge went to the doorway and pulled aside the folds of mosquito netting-for real un- yelling!
 There, about eight or ten feet away was dark shadow sort of floating" which, from the light splotches in the fur, Folta realized was bear.
 With the gun which Dick hao remembered to. take into the tent Mark Jensen got the grizzly, a med ium- sized one.
 Good thing he didn't walk 1T on us any of the three days we were higher up," commented Hi! Honor. We had only tarps over us up there"
 The hunters report this is a poo, moose season in the Chilkat Rivel area. They saw no moose, and only very few tracks. Signs were o moose moving, so the prospect! would be slim, they say, as there is little chance of bagging any ol the big fellows when they do no finger for feeding. The hunter heard of only one moose being taken, before they returned iron their five-day trip, and all othel parties in the region had lief similarly discouraged.
 But we had the finest weather and the finest camp!" said Judg' Folta.
 1 AND that grizzly.
