Medical Doctors Win
| In Senate Version Of
D. {. 0pfometry Bill

| Medical doctors have scored
an initial victory over optome-
trists in the Capitol Hill battle
over the District optometry law.
In rewriting a bill regulating
| the practice Of optometry here.
the Senate District Business
! subcommittee yesterday &C
| cepted all of the major recon-
mendations made by the District
! Medical Society.
! The subcommittee refused to
| designate optometry as a pro-
fession-one of the key objec-
tives of the new bill. Further
more, the subcommittee rede-
fined the term "optometry" as
advocated by the medical doc
tors.
The Senators also went along
with the doctors advice and
eliminated a controversial pro-
vision applying to the work done
by nurses and technicians.
Members of the subcommittee
are Senator Payne. Republican.
of Maine: Senator Barrett, Re-
publican. of Wyoming, and Sem
ator Burke, Democrat. of Ohio.
Hailed by DIR. Dryden.
DR.. James Spencer Dryden.
head of the ophthalmology Sec
ton of the District Medical So
ciety, hailed the revisionS an
nounced by Chairman Payne.
"These provisions" he said,
put the situation in the best
light ever. The subcommittee is
| to be congratulated for taking
view that's going to help the
public"
| Evart F. Warren. an optome-
/ trist. decried the subcommittee
action. He said optometry has
been recognized as a profession
in AZ States. He considered it
strange that a group in Con-
gress should take another view.
The revised bill still includes
a ban on advertising prices for
optometric services. This provi-
sion has been opposed by the
Washington Publishers Associa-
ton and others. In testimony
early this month, the publishers
commended the ban would cause
the prices of glasses to rise. with
adverse effect upon low income
groups
Dangerous Precedent Seen.
Speaking for the publishers.
Attorney Peyton Evans said the
bill would broaden the powers
of the Board of Optometry in
a number of questionable re-
spects. He said it would set a
dangerous precedent.
The revised bill defines the
term "optometry" as "the SCI
ence devoted to the examination
of the human eye for the pur-
pose of prescribing. providing,
finishing, adapting and employ
ing of lenses. prisms and contact
lenses for the aid. correction or
relief of the human eye"
This omits any reference to
visual training, which the OPP
tometrists wanted included but
the physicians opposed. Visual
training, called orthoptics. per-
tains to eye muscle exercises.

ut is a challenging and a
necessary thing" he said today.
The motivation on the part of
the schools is a sense of public
responsibility, as we'll as an op-
portunity for a student training
program. The Health Depart
ment and the universities have
been trying to get this going
for years."
He pointed out that Howard
University Medical School ulti-
mately may get in on the same
program.
Aside from the practical bene-
fit to patients and schools, DR..
Schultz said, District taxpayers
stand to save by the deal. Every
patient treated at District Gen
eral means nearly SIS a day less
that will have to be paid into
st. EliZabeths. A total of $500
patients is foreSeen in the next
fiscal year.
The only out-of-pocket cost to
the District under the coming
new setup is DR.. Schultz's $4,000
yearly salary. The present med
ical staff of five in the depart
ment will remain unchanged.
The university consultants will
be cost-free to the city. Space
is more than adequate" in the
present psychiatric building, &C
cording to DR.. Schultz, and no
additional shock treat TIM n
equipment is needed.
Plays Down Shock.
On that point, DR.. Schultz
emphasized that the most en-
lightened treatment methods are
dynamic psychiatry - getting
through to people"-rather than
insulin or electric therapy. The
shock methods, he said, are for
emergency use.
Among his plans, DR.. Schultz
hopes to establish a stable out
patient psychiatric clinic at the
hospital. This would compile
ment the university out-patient
services.
The new psychiatry chief, fur
thermore, is sold on that part
of the pending overall public
works improvement program that
provides for more than So million

building on the hospital reser-
