amendment was passed by the
Senate.
In the conference yesterday the
Senate conferees receded and the
private enterprises proviso was
stricken from the bill.
Settlement of the controversy,
raised in the Senate, now will clear
the way for building about 80 or
rs units of garden-type two-story
apartments on the grounds of the
institute, officials said.
Opening Set for January 1, 1853.
Albert Siepert, executive officer
|of the institute characterized the
Congressional action as "just a
settlement" of the controversy.
The Federal agency would have
been willing to handle the project
either by Government or private
construction, he said.
With the funds available, about
| 81 ,025, 900. the housing. will pro-
vide for only about one-fourth of
ithe quarters needed for personnel
operating the big new Clinical
Center. but this first installment
will accommodate the key per-
sonnel. The center is expected to
open January l, 1858, for pa
tients. More funds for additional
quarters are to be requested.
The million dollar fund had
been impounded by the Bureau of
the Budget last year, when con-
struction had been postponed. But
with Congress now laying down
the policy for Federal construc-
ton, instead Of by private enter
prise on the Government reserva-
tion, the tied-up money is ex-
pected to be made available.
The Congressional action was
welcomed as a victory" today by
William j. Barnhard, head of a
citizens committee which fought
the move to give the job to private
enterprise.
Savings for Taxpayers Seen.
I'VE are very much pleased, =
he declared. This will save
money for the taxpayers and ease
the housing problem of NH. 1t
also shows the power of organ
lied citizens when they get to-
gether and place their petitions
before Congress"
Mr.. Barnhard and a committee
of representatives from 10 COM
munities near the National Insti-
tutes contended that privately
owned living quarters for the in
stitutes' staff would cost the tax
payers more money in the long
run.
/ They said the Government will
have to spend $4,000 a year to
maintain the buildings if they are
Federally constructed and operated
But if they were to be privately
/ owned the Government would

less the world situation is more
threatening than 1t is now.
Senator Douglas. who presided
over a subcommittee which con-
sidered ethics in Government at
the last session, said events in
recent months have demonstrated
the need for Congress to take three
steps, namely:
/. Adopt a code of ethics cover
ing practices which would not be
criminal offenses, but would call
for dismissal from Government
service. He said the code also
should punish private individuals
who seek favors from Govern
ment employees, by depriving them
of Government contracts or the
right to practice before Govern
ment departments.
| 2. Require all members Of Con-
gress and Government officials who
earn $4,000 or more a year to
file annual sworn statements show
ing all sources of income,
3. Fix a limit on the totals that
may be spent for candidates and
political parties In an election.
Recent inquiries have convinced
members Of the Senate Elections
Subcommittee that present limi-
ItationS are ineffective.

Truman Statement on Health

tive action on these issues have
met enthusiastic support from
some quarters and bitter opposi-
ton from others. AS a result, our
people are confused about the
proper course of action on sub
Ijects so vitality important to their
welfare. On a number Of occa-
sions have stated that I would
be happy to consider suggestions
which were better than the meas
ures I have indorsed to bring the
continuing achievements of med
ical progress to all our people.
But such counter-proposals have
not been forthcoming.
I have. therefore, established
the Presidents Commission on the
Health Needs of the Nation to
study the facts and to present it's
recommendations for safeguarding
and improving the health of the
Nation. Since we need the advice
Of all viewpoints, the commission
contains both professional and lay
members. 1t will make a search
ing inquiry into the facts and give
us the benefit of objective and
constructive thinking on these
problems which are of vital con-
Icern to every American.
Interim Reports Planned.
The commission is authorized to
present interim reports on it's find
ings, so that we shall have the
benefit Of its timely studies within
the next IL months. To aid in it's
deliberations within this period,
the commission will have avail
able number of studies in the
health field Of governmental agen-
cies, Congressional committees,
and other public and private
groups. Moreover, I have asked
the commission to give its imme-
diate attention to an evaluation Of
the most recent information on
subjects currently pending before
the Congress and requiring con-
sideration in the next session,
such as aid to medical education
and aid to local public health
units.
We must dedicate ourselves to
the continuing search for what is
best for the Nation in solving our
health problems. I am certain
that the Presidents Commission
on the Health Needs of the Nation
will make an invaluable contribu-
tion toward preserving one Of our
most precious assets, the health
Of all Of our people.
