Blow to Hospital Training

The Commissioners no doubt were moved by
praiseworthy economy considerations in scing
$135,000 off the Districts 1852 budget for care of
INDECENT patients in private hospitals. There is
increasing evidence, however, that not enough
thought was given to the effect of the economy
on the hospitals concerned.
In at least one of the three hospitals which
would be cut off the indigent-care list-Provi-
dence-a serious disruption of training activities
would result. The Providence training program
has been built around the hospitals services to
INDECENT patients. Friends of the hospital have
registered strong protests against the inclusion
of Providence in the list of institutions to be
dropped from the list of hospitals receiving Dis
trict funds for care of indigents. Two other hos
pitalS Garfield and Episcopal, are said to be less
seriously affected by the economy move.
Health Director Seckinger, after study of
the situation, has recommended to the Commis
soners that the present list of eight private hos
pitalS approved for care of indigentS be main
tained without change. Dr. Seckinger confirmed
reports that the proposed reduction of the list
would interfere with the hospitals teaching and
training programs in such way as to imperil
their standing as training institutions. That
being the case, there is merit to the contention
that the slash in the INDECENT disqualification
budget was an unwise economy STEP

Dear Sir:

Dear Sir:
did it ever occur to you that we
have strange situation for the medical
annals of our generation?
mot knowing who could elaborate
best on this bit. I decided to place
it before my favorite philosopher.
1--WE have condition today wherein
a patient is too sick to get out of bed
to go to his doctor but on the other
hand he is not sick enough for the
doctor to come and see him.
Ergo: What to do?
Sincerely, E. r.
Newton street, NE"
This is one of the modern problems
caused by our eternal too-muchness Of
everything.
Consider the poor doctor.
He is run to DEATH as the country
saying has 1t.
Like the old woman in the shoe, he
has so many patients he doesn't know
what to do.
They call him day and night. Now
that, of course, is not new. The famous
country doctor went day and night, too
He did not have, however, so many
patients. Even a county wide practice
did not give him a fourth as many as
a successful city practitioner has today
It is this ceaseless demand for their
services that tend to get the modern
city doctors down.

while another will go out on calls. And
so on.
BY rotating the jobs as it were, no
one man is constantly on the go, day
after day, night after night, to the
final deteriment of his own life and
spirit.
This is strictly a modern city condi-
ton, and one which every patient must
do his best to comprehend.
The modern doctor wants to do as
much as he can, but the individual
patient is too often too willing to forget
about the other demands and to feel
that only his own count.
Modern medical practice must be
both back breaker and spirit breaker
It seems to be making demands no one
man can fill.
The patient has his problems. too. as
our correspondent note shows. What
to do, indeed? He should insist on
getting doctor to come to see him,
and if he cannot get the one of his
choice, to call on another. There is
no ethical reason why he should not,
if a doctor refuses to come. What may
be called the in-between patient. too
i'll to go to doctors Office, but not
sick enough for doctor to call, has his
own dilemma and one which will be-
come acute, if compulsory medicine is
every put into force. So keep after

ated, might lead to incidents even more unfortu-
nate than the one involving Mrs. Buck. In all
of the circumstances, however, it might have
been wiser for DR.. Corning to have followed some
other course in this case.
Even so, there is no basis for DR.. Davies
charge that the disciplinary action is comparable
to "the sort of thing that goes on in the Iron
Curtain countries" or for the ADA claim that
Dr. Corning has shown such disregard for free
dom of expression that he "disqualifies himself
from future association with impressionable stu
dents and American scholarship"
This kind of nonsense tends to hinder rather
than help in dealing with a difficult situation.

would calm down and seek rational rather than
an emotional approach to the problem.

Time to Calm Down

If faulty judgment was responsible for the re-
fusal to permit Mrs. Pearl Buck to address the
students of Cardozo High School, DR.. Corning
has no monopoly on that human failing. Some of
his critics seem determined to match him, or even
to 60 him one better.
In recent days the Superintendent of Schools
has been denounced by Dr. A. Powell Davies, pas
tor of All Souls Unitarian Church. and by the
Washington chapter of Americans for Democratic
Action
Their ire was aroused when DR.. Corning dis
ciplined two Cardozo officials who invited Mrs.
Buck to speak at the schools without obeying the
regulation which requires that such matters be
cleared with the superintendent in advance. The
disciplinary action took the form of reprimand
and notice that their efficiency ratings for the
year would be lowered.
This may or may not have been proper &C
ton to take. 1t certainly is clear that subordin-
ates in the school system cannot be permitted to

Your newspaper merits commenda
ton for your article on the front page.
March 8, concerning the case of the
harassed Federal employe in this new
decentralization program initiated by
the Bureau of the Budget. The article
was very well written, to the point. and
expressed the viewpoint of the average

the individual Federal employees con-
cerned have an opportunity to present
their case and the many problems which
confront them in such move.
Many thanks for devoting space to
this subject. I am sure that thousands
of Federal employees appreciate your in
terest in their welfare. 1t is hoped that
the Senators and members Of the House

This and That

Only the medical man himself can
have any idea how many of his calls
are needless. but a fair and honest
minded layman realizes that they must
be many.
For one thing, consider the psyche
logical side Of doctoring.
Every one knows that the very sight
and sound of a good doctor is en-
couraging.
Doctors know it, too.
They should realize, and mostly do,
that their very presence is soothing.
They want it to be that way. Being
human, however, they must at times
resent calls in which nothing but their
hearty good will is needed.
medicine may be what they need most.
To the doctor it at times must seem
to be just lot of stuff. At least, they
may feel that the patient could get
along without sight and sound of them,
in order to let them spend that much
time with a patient who needs the
other services, such as diagnosis. more
The pressure on our modern doctor
is terrific
Some of them, we understand, have
considered getting together, and run
ming their work on a sort of business

To the Editor of The Star:

w ITH reference to your editorial
w Wilson Is the Target" I want
to suggest there is no need for any
one to be the target. The failure of the
conferences on the problems of Labor
Management Mobilization and Stabili-
zation' was due to the absence of
practical formula which could protect
the economic rights of all concerned.
Yet such formula exists
The policy makers in the Government
could, I believe end the confusion and
strife, and increase the production Of
goods and services-yet lower living
costs-if they could find way to apply
nationally the formula developed within
the Lincoln Electric Co. of Cleveland,
Ohio, known as Incentive Manage
ment."
In SIS years of continuous manufac-
turing, the Lincoln Co. has not lost
one hour Of production through a mis-
understanding between worker and
management. In the past Is years (the
period during which the plan has been
in effect>, the individual productivity of
the workers has increased 12-fold, and
prices, in spite of tremendous increase
in cost of materials, have been main
tanned at 1910 levels. No imitation here!
This record not only commands our
respect and admiration, but also our
earnest examination into the reasons
why.
The Lincoln Co. is the worlds
largest manufacturer of arc-welding
equipment. AS the name Incentive
Management" implies, the company is
managed so that workers have an in
centive to work, and are made confident
that it is worthwhile to work
Incentives for workers are not new.
The one distinguishing characteristic Of
Lincoln's Incentive Management is a
sincere concern on the part of man
agement to do the right thing and let
consequences take care of themselves.
The sole Justification for the existence
Of the company is taken to be serving
the consumer with better products at
lower prices. All other concerns, private
and corporate, are secondary to this
one objective.
This positive, fundamentally right OBJ
jectiVe of Incentive Management creates
mutual confidence and mutual interest
between worker and management 1t
creates different attitude in men and
women toward their jobs.
In this light, incentive means reward
ing workers in pay and recognition
solely on the basis of how well each
individual applies his abilities to the
common effort to attain the company's

Moscow vs.. Rome

In waging war on the Vatican the puppet
Communist regime of Czechoslovakia apparently
is trying to be less crude and more cautious than
its counterpart in Hungary. At any rate, the in
dications are that Archbishop Beran, the Roman
Catholic primate of the country, is not going to
be tried" and imprisoned on trumped-up charges
of treason, as in the of Cardinal Mindszenty.
Instead, it seems that he is merely to be ban
ished" from Prague-and f1ned-for taking a
negative attitude" toward the Church laws"
that the Kremns stooges have decreed to make
clear to the devout that Stain Is next to godli-
ness and that one had better pay attention to
him. not to the Pope, on matters of faith and
morals.
Archbishop Beran's offense, of course, is that
he has refused to sell his soul to the Communists
and let them profane and def1le his church by
making 1t tool of the atheistic Kre:nlin. He
has sought to keep them from interfering with
the worship of God and from communicating the
haowed precincts of religion with their pecul-
iarly unholy brand of irreligion. So they have
"banished" him and named in his place pa
trotc and democratic" parish priest who seems
willing to play their game-an obscure Catholic
clergyman who presumably can be counted upon
not to upset efforts to undermine the Vatican in
Czechoslovakia for the greater honor and glory
of the Soviet Union.
Thus the war between Moscow and Rome
goes on, with Moscow resorting to any and every
means to destroy the one thing that must be
obliterated if totalitarian materialism is to sur
vive and if the Kremlin is to win mastery of the
world That one thing is mans belief in God
the religious force of the ages the spirit that ex
ats the individual over the state, the spark and
fire of faith in the proposition that people do not
begin or end here but are creatures with immor-
tai souls and with a high eternal destiny that is
governed not by bipeds like Stain but by an all
wise, all-just all-powerful, all-inf1nite Supreme
Being beyond the comprehension of our finite
minds The Soviet Communists cannot live with
such doctrine and hence the effort to wipe it
out.
Archbishop Beran-lke Cardinal Mndszenty,
and like a number of Protestant and Jewish
leaders as well-has come to grief behind the
Iron Curtain not because of himself but because
he represents in his person faith that is alb
Solutely irreconcilable with, and repugnant to,
what the Soviet tyranny stands for The war on

inevitable and basic part of the Soviet on the

God, cannot be conquered or enSlaved by the
goddess. The battle has just begun, and the

osovakia because Catholicism is predominant

One-Mun Team?

An Associated Press story in The Star,
on March S. noted that Adm. Robert
B. Carney Is being considered for the
job of Mediterranean commander for
the North Atlantic Pact nations, and
that the appointment sis likely to dis
please the British for the second time
in recent weeks"
It is true, of course, that all of the
Atlantic Pact countries, including the
United Kingdom, have smaller navieS
than has the United States. However,
it seems that we unnecessarily lay our
selves open to attack when we take on
all of the top jobs in the organization.
With General Eisenhower command
ing the North Atlantic Treaty OrganiZa-
tion land forces. Admiral Fechteler COM
manding the joint NATO sea forces,
Admiral Carney heading the Mediter-
ranean fleet, and the possibility that
an American general will be named to
head the combined air group, every mis-
take that the organization makes as a
group will be dumped squarely in the
lap of the United States. furthermore,
how can the other Atlantic Pact ma
tions be expected to participate whole
heartedly in the joint endeavor If they
are to be relegated in every instance
to subordinate roles?
Even if all the other Pact nations
were insistent that United States officers
occupy the top jobs. we should insist
as adamantly that there be an equitable
distribution of leadership.

to college sports program. where the

determined according to what each per-
son has contributed that year to the
success of the company. Merit rating
and regular earnings are the basis for
this share. Last year the incentive pay
ment divided among the 1000 workers
was approximately 81 million.
Stock of the company is owned by
persons working in the company More
than 10 per cent of the workers own
stock. An advisory board consisting of
elected representatives from each de-
partment meets twice each month with
the president to discuss the operations
of the company. A suggestion system
is operated to reward workers for ideas
for Improvement Basic wage rates are
adjusted up and down as the community
cost-of-living index varies.
None of these details is unique with
Lincoln. Success stems from the way
in which these common techniqueS are
employed, from the daily decisions and
actions of men on their jobs when the
atmosphere of operation is one of con-
f1dence rather than distrust.
That it is has been worthwhile to work,

the worlds highest paid industrial work.
ers Qast years average earning was $6,-
700), but also he is among the happiest.
He takes great pride in the result of his
work and the success of his team.
The plan has been worthwhile to the
stockholders, who have received uninter-
rupted dividends. And finally, the con-
sumer, the user of welding equipment,
has enjoyed prices so per cent lower than
those the user of comparable equipment
has had to pay.
In brief, everybody benefits from in
centive management. 1t doubles the pay
of the average skilled worker, and trebles
the pay of the national average for all
labor for equal hours of service. The
formula permits anti-infationary pricing
of products, yet yields adequate profits
to essential invested capital. What more
does labor, or management, or capital
have the right to ask?
I do not mean to suggest that all
features of the Lincoln Plan necessarily
could be applied Immediately on a ma
tional scale. Obviously, for instance,
ownership of great corporations exclu-
sively by employe stockholders is a long
way off. But the success of the expert
ment in Cleveland has been dependent
from that aspect of the plan-or on any
hard and fast formula, for that matter.
1t is largely a question of spirit and ap-
proach-the spirit and approach we need
if we are to find way out of our present
difficulties.

Hussein Ala has become Premier of Iran

Azerbaijan from Iran
Because of his fine work in that celebrated
crisis, Mr. Ali enjoys heroic reputation among
Iranians. That will be helpful to him in his

Lond Of Bridges

At the outset of the Korean War, in
the waning days of June, 1850, the
American forces and the South Korean
troops began one Of the most strategic
retreats in history. To hinder the pres
sing Red forces, the Allies destroyed
bridges behind them. Each day in the
paper, on the radio and by Aim on TV
was recorded the tremendous devasta-
ton done to towns and especially bridges
as we tactically retreated. Weeks later.
out of the Pusan beachhead, our troops
began the brilliant push toward North
Korea. To hinder the retreat of the
North Koreans, our planes bombed and
destroyed more bridges, and by the
dozens.
Daily, the papers and radio announced
the great number of bridges being de-
stroyed, In addition. to hinder our ad-
vances, the Reds destroyed any remain
ing standing bridges behind them!
Again, weeks later, after brief visit to
the Yalu River, the Reds, reinforced
with great numbers of Chinese Reds.
began the push back toward South
Korea. Again, the Allies blew up-what?
Bridges, of course, to hinder the Reds.
And Allied planes knocked out-what?
Bridges. naturally, before the advancing
Reds.
Now, after six months of destroying
and redestroying these bridges over the
same territory, the Allies are again
pushing back north. In this limited
offensive, I notice that our planes are
out each good day bombing bridges be-
fore the retreating Reds and the Reds
are blowing up, guess what? BY estima-
ton, based on reports via papers, radio
and TV. an average of three bridges per
day has been destroyed
Now, either Korea is incredibly
wealthy in bridges, or there exists a
construction firm of super bridge build
ers. In view of the lack of modern trans
portation, the eternally mud roads, ETC.,
I am curious to learn more about this
fabulous land of bridges.
