Analysis Due 10 Start
Of Hospitals Plan 10
Certify Chest Patient!

A Boston hospital consultant
was to arrive here today to begin
a "factual analysis" of the con-
troversial proposal that Washing.
tons hospitals take over most
functions of the Community Chest
Federation's Hospital Service
Agency.
The agency's chief job is to
certify patients for disqualification
under the federation's program
and to pay private hospitals for
treating them.
The Hospital Council of the
National Capital Area last Novem-
Der made known that the hos
pitals want to take over the JOB
Of certifying such patients for
Chest aid and to make part-pay
collections themselves from the
patients.
The Hospital Service Agency, In
turn, charged that some hospitals
already had "nullified" agree.
ments in effect between the hos.
pitals and the Chest by refusing
to accept HSA certifications.
No Reports on Progress.
Ever since, negotiations have
been under way between hospital
and Chest leaders, largely through
a special Chest committee headed
by Chester Morrill,. The commit
tee has announced no reports OF
progress.
1t is known, however. that hos
pitals feel they can handle the
certification and collection jobs
at a much smaller administrative
cost than could HSA-largely
through medical-Social service ac-
tivities already in existence at the
hospitals.
The Boston consultant. Robert
P. Lane. presumably will study
these facilities. all phases Of the
HSA activities and the relative
costs involved.
Mr.. Lane, who recently COM
pleted a health survey In Bos-
ton, will gather his factual data
this week and then prepare q
report to assist all three groups
concerned with Chest-supported
disqualification In reaching final
conclusions on this proposal" Mr..
Morrill's statement said. = . ~ 2
Refuses 10 Comment.
One hospital leader. asked to
comment on the development. said
he had been pledged not to go
beyond the press release" in dis
cuSsions.
The Chest federation also has
completed an analysis to deter
mine how many needy patients
whose hospital bills have been
paid partly by Chest funds In
the past-it can expect the Dis
trict government to care for in
the future.
Officials refused to comment on
its findings until the HSA con-
troversy is settled, but have indi-
Gated they expect disqualification
expenses paid by public contribu-
tions to be smaller as q result of
a recent Commissioners ruling
liberalizing the city's policy for
treating INDECENT patients.
The ruling said in effect that
the District can pay private hos
pitfalls for treating patients who
can afford to pay part of their
bills, but it limited the patients
to residents of the District who
are emergency victims.

 The damage to citrus and vege- table crops run into the millions of dollars-S3O, 100000 in Califor- nia alone.
 The livestock loss still is unde- termined and probably will not be known until spring. The job of saving the thousands of cattle and 1eep which were snowbound on the western rangelands by Jar1u- ary blizzards still is not finished. Neither is the huge task of bring ing relief to the thousands of ma rooned ranchers and Indians.
 Some communities in the west ern blizzard area were isolated for days-some for weeks.
 The federal government joined with he western blizzard States in the relief and rescue work. Planes and snow-moving equip ment moved in. Bulldozers and snow blows opened the snow locked highways and secondary roads. Planes carrying tons of hay flew over the isolated regions, dropping their cargo to the starv- ing livestock. Planes also took food and medical supplies to snowbound communities and In dian reservations.
 In Wyoming out of an estimated 775,OOO cattle and l,5OO,OOO sheep, the estimated losses run from 50,- 900 to 60,OOO cattle and l05,0OO to 10000 sheep.
