All Saints Episcopal Church in Anchorage was the scene of a beautiful candlelight ceremony on February 5 when Miss Marilyn Janice Macek, daughter of MT. and Mrs. George Macek of Anch- orage, and formerly of Palmer, became the bride of William B. Ashland, IT,, son of MT. and Mrs. William B. Ashland of New York City. The double ring ceremony was performed by Rev. Albert J. Sayres.

Whether we look at health

dividual-at problems Of re-
search, prevention or treatment
Of diseaye we find that supplies
Of trained personnel are crit

The administrations leeisla-
tive program for this year
therefore contains proposals ad-
dressed to crucial areas Of per-
sonnel shortages. These par-'
ticnlar areas, moreover, hold the
key to other possible advances
and improvements in health
programs.
Two proposals are aimed at
shortages In nurse personnel:
First. ] recommend q five-year
program OF grants to State vo-
cational education agencies for
training practical nurses. Sec

of Public Health Service opera

PUBLIC HEALTH PROGRAMS,
The Public Health Service, the
Children's Bureau of the Social
Security Administration. and the
Food and Drug Administration
are skilled and vigilant guar

three of these agencies should
be strengthened, and the pro-
grams of the Public Health Serv-
ice and the Children's Bureau
for aiding State health activities
made more responsive to changes
in State and local health needs.
To this end, ] urge the Congress

j that follow are designed to meet
this three-fold deficiency.
MEETING THE COSTS lOF
MEDICAL CARE.
For most Americans, insurance
private, voluntary insurance
provides a sound and effective
method, of meeting unexpected
hazards which may pe beyond
the capacity of the individual To
bear. Risk sharing through group
action is in the best tradition
of vigorous and imaginative
American enterprise.
! The Government should CO.
operate with, and encourage. pri-
vate carriers in the Improvement
of health insurance. Moreover
a great many people who are
not now covered can be given
its protection. particularly in
rural areas where group enroll
ment is at present diff1cult.
Existing health insurance can
also be improved by expanding
the scope of the benefits pro-
vided. Not all private expendi-
lures for medical care can or
should be covered by insurance;
nevertheless, many policies Of
fered today are too limited in
scope. They are principally for
hospitali2ed illness and for rela-
lively short periods of time.
I recommend, consequently,
the establishment of a Federal
health reinsurance service to en-
courage private health insurance
organizations in Offering broader
benefits to insured individuals
and families and coverage to
more people.
In addition, to improve medi-
cal care for the aged, the blind,
dependent children, and the per-
manently and totally disabled
who are public assistance re-
cipiepts. ! recommend the au-
thorization of limited Federal
grants to match State and local
expenditures.
Reinsurance. The purpose of
the reinsurance proposal is to
furnish a system for broad shar-
ing among health insurance or!
ganizations of the risks of ex-
perimentation. A system of this
sort will give an incentive to the
improvement Of existing insure
ance plans. It will encourage
private, voluntary health insur-
ance organizations to provide
better protection - particularly
against expensive. illness-for
those who now are insured
against some Of the financial
hazards of illness, Reinsurance
will also help to stimulate ex-
tension of private voluntary
health insurance plans to mill
lions of additional people who
do not now have, but who could
afford to purchase. health in
surance.
The Department of Health,
Education and Welfare has been
working with specialists from
the insurance industry. with ex-
perts from the health profess
sions and with many other in
terested citizens in its effort to
perfect a sound reinsurance

Charge Against Shuberts.
The Government complaint in,
the theater case charged the
Shubert interests engagd for
many vars in conspiracy in
restraint of interstate trade IN
the production. booking and pres
entation Of legitimate attrac-
tions: and that they conspired
to monopolise the booking of
the attractions throughout the
United States and their presen-
tation in ten leading cities.
Justice Warren stressed that
the high court was not deciding
today whether the Shubert in
terests had violated the Sher-
man act or--if they have-what
relief would be appropriate" to
the Government.
I'VE hold only" he said, "that
the allegations of the complaint
state a cause Of action and that
the Government is entitled to
an opportunity to prove those
allegations" thy a trial in the
district court in New York;.
The Government said the
Shubert interests operate or
take part in the operation of
approximately 40 theaters in
eight States. It said they own
or operate approximately so per
cent of all the legitimate
theaters in New York City.
The immediate practical effect
OF the theater decision Is ex-
pected to be negligible. The past
few years have seen a relaxing
of the rigid booking control of
both New York and road" the
aters. including the National and
Shuhert houses in Washington.
One factor in this is believed
to have been, the filing of the
Government action against the
Shubert organization and its
booking affiliate, the United
Booking Office. Others were the
death of Lee ~Shubert last year
and the creation of the League
of New York Theaters. a COM

The tert Of President Eisen-
hower's message to Congress
outlining his health program
f0IlolDs.
To the Congress of the United
States:
Because the strength of our
Nation Is in its people, their good
health is a, proper national con-
cern: healthy Americans live
more rewarding, more productive
land happier lives. Fortunately,
the, Nation continues its advance
in lettering the health of all its
people.
Deaths from infectious diseases
have diminished. During the
past year, important progress
has been made in dealing with
such diseases as rheumatic fever,
high blood pressure, polionye-
litis and tuberculosis. Intensified
research has produced more
knowledge than ever before
about the scourges Of heart dis
ease and cancer.
The 83d Congress, during the
last legislative session, supported
dramatic new strides in voca-
tional rehabilitation. BY 1859.
consequently, we should be re-
storing to useful lives most per-
sons who become disabled and
who can be rehahilitated and re-
turned to employment, In hui
man terms. this viii be a heart
warming achievement.
The 1854 amendments to the
Hospital Survey and Construc-
ton Act opened another new
chapter in the national drive for
better health. Under these
amendments, further provision
was made to help build health
care facilities for the chronicallv
III; to aid in the construction OF
nursing and convalescent homes:
to provide for more 'diagnostic
and treatment centers for
patients who do not need hos.
pital care, and to help make
centers available for the re-
Mobilization of the disabled.
These achievements represent
a major gain for the immediate
and future welfare of countless
Americans-in the health of both
mind and body. Recent advances
do not, however, represent our
full capacity to wage war on
illness and disability through
out the land.
THE IMMEDIATE NEEDS.
AS a Nation. we are doing
less than now lies within our
power to reduce the impact of
disease. Many of our fellow
Americans cannot afford to pay
the costs of medical care when
it is needed. and they are not
protected by adequate health in
surance. Too frequently the To-
cal hospitals, clinics, or, nursing
homes required for the preven-
tion, diagnosis and treatment OF
disease either do not exist or
are badly out of date. Finally
there are critical shortages of
the trained personnel required
to study, prevent, treat and con-
troll disease.

2. Increased budgetary sup-
port for training activities which
are now authorized, so as to in
crease the number Of qualified
personnel available for care of
mental patients; and
3. Authorization of q new pro-
gram of mental health project
grants. Such projects would aim
at improving the quality of care
in mental institutions and the
administration of the institutions

search out ways of reducing the

cases as possible.

dition Of life. This incalculable
burden not only causes poverty
and distress, and impedes eco

Q fertile field for the spread Of

Organization should be raised.

ton may be increased.
These recommendations to the
Congress represent q broad and
co-ordinated offensive against
many of the problems which
must be solved II we are to have
better health for a stronger
America. All the proposals rec
ognize the primacy Of local and
State responsibility for the
health Of the community. They

During his prepared statement,
Mr.. Stevens cited changing

vances in the art of warfare. Mr..
Kilday wanted to know if such
advances would make possible a
smaller Army.
MFR. Stevens said new weapons
have not been fully evaluated

The question later was put to
Gen. Ridgway and he gave his
judgment that the need would
be for more rather than less men.
Representative Cole, Republic

be argued that the Army is Just

STIMULATING THE
CONSTRUCTION OF HEALTH
FACILITIES.
Many communities in the
United States today lack the
hospitals. clinics, nursing homes.
and other modern technical fa-
cilities required for the protec-
ton Of the peoples health. In
other communities. structures
are antiquated or otherwise de-
ficient in construction or equip
mert.
Present methods of financing
are not always satisfactory in
meeting this problem. Many
sponsors and operators are un-
able to qualify for grants under
the recently extended Hospital
Survey and Construction Act.
Sponsors Of health facilities often
find 1t difficult to obtain private
capital for construction.
In other fields. Government
insured loans have consistently
helped produce the new con-
struction required in the urgent
national interests. The tested
procedures developed by such
