PARIS, Dec. 4.-Over vehement
Russian objections. the United
Nations Special Political Commit
tee today voted to ask representa-
tives of East and West Germany
to take part in its debates on all
German elections.
Russia's Jacob Malik had told
the committee earlier that the
question of German elections was
none of the United Nations busi-

not favor extending an invitation
to the Germans to take part in

The West German government

Clinic for District

Sought by Seekinger

A medical clinic, somewhat
along the lines Of the Police and
Fire Clinic, for all District Gov
ernment employees. is one of the
plans DR.. Daniel L. Seckinger,
director of public health, was ex-
pected to suggest to the Commits
sioners today as part of the re-
organization of the District gov
ernment. proposed by Brig. Gen.
Bernard L. Robinson, Engineer
Commissioner.
The Police and Fire Departments
care for the illnesses that occur
In their respective services, but
this type of service has not been
made generally available to other
District government employees, DR..
Seckinger said. This kind of
health program. if extended to all
employees of the District, also
should include dental services, Dr.
Seckinger feels.
Several heads of District depart
ments said they favor DR.. Seek
inger'S plan. although many of
them doubted that the necessary
funds to run such clinic or
clinics would be appropriated by
Congress.
Undecided on Number.
DR.. Seckinger said he has not
decided whether there should be-
clinics in different sections of the
city or one general clinic.
DR.. Seckinger said, under his
plan, preventive medicine would
cut down long illnesses. 1t also
would do away with malingering
on the part of employees, because
a physician or a nurse would be
sent to his home when he re-
ported he was out sick.
William A. Xanten, superintend-
ent of the Division of Sanitation,
said he thinks Dr. Seckinger
plan is a good one. He said he
would like to include a program
OF medical inspection for all en-
ployes before they enter the Dis
trict service. Most per-diem en-
ployes do not now take such ex-
aminationS.
Traffic Director George E.
Keneipp said the plan looks good,
but he would have to give it more
study before he gave it final ap-
proval. He said he fears the ex-
pense of administering the clinic
would be too great for the District
to undertake.
Clemmer Favors Plan.
Donald Clemmer. director of
the Department of Corrections,
considers it good idea. He said
his department now has clinics
In the institutions and has found
them to be satisfactory.
DR.. Seckinger said the plan to-
establish a clinic for District en-
ployes had been suggested by sew
eral department heads, particu-
learly by Ronald M. Brennan,
District purchasing officer, who
has advocated a retirement clinic.
Mr.. Brennan suggests that a re-
tirement clinic can be set upI
within the District organization
without the expenditure of addi-
tional public funds.
1--WE have officials within the
District government who are
qualified to inaugurate and pursue
such a program" Mr.. Brennan
said. "The program would in-
clude medical, psychiatric and
employe relations and vocational
counsellors, he said.
The plan would prepare those
to be retired over a two-year
period. to take up some kind of
a hobby of aitvity to facilitate the
readjustment from life of activ-
ity to one of leisure. The plan
would be on a voluntary basis,
and no employe about to be re-
tired would have to go into it.
