Marking Rotary Anniversary

He commended RotarianS for
their efforts to keep alive the
spirit of volunteer service as a
bulwark against a "monolithic"
government. Without volunteer
service the tendency to allow
government to take over all
tasks" would be accelerated, he
said.
In the field of international
understanding. DR.. Trueblood
said, Rotarians have made sig
nificant contributions. The
worlds only hope for peace lies
in the continued building of
friendship between Nations and
an adherence to principles Of
justice and fair play.

ers on Saturday a week ago in
deciding to sponsor the $40 tax
cut.
Mr.. Humphrey also tangled
with Senator Douglas, Democrat
of Illinois, who is not member
of the committee. In the early
part of his testimony, he said
that Senator Douglas a year ago
had predicted a depression which
did not take place.
Later, Senator Douglas came
to the hearing and accused Mr..
Humphrey of getting his in
formation from reading the
publicity handouts of the Repub-
lican National Committee rather
than going by what I said on
the economic situation a year
ago."
Senator Douglas read some
statements he had made last
year and added:
IT never predicted a depres-
sion. 1t is time to nail that
canard once and for all. I
recommended a positive. con-
structive program to keep us
from sliding further eco
nomically."
Poor Called Chief Victims.
Mr.. Humphrey said that if the
tax cut is paid out Of borrowed
money requiring additional def
cit financing, (which Is all that
is in sight at this moment, it car
start us right back on the reckless
road of imitation with all its cruel
thievery Let us always re-
member that it is not the rich
who need protection against in
flation. 1t is the little folks who
suffer the most when imitation
takes hold in the land"
Mr.. Humphrey similarly op-
posed the tax cut. sponsored by
House Democratic leaders. when
it was before the House Ways
and Means Committee a week
ago. President Eisenhower
lashed the proposal as reaching
some sort of heights of fiscal
responsibility" But despite
their attacks, the House. by a
flve-vote margin, approved the
reduction.
Would Reverse Trend.
The Secretary declared the ia,
cut "is contrary to the public
interest because it means re.
versing the successful trend ol
the administration during the
past two years in cutting deficit.
and working towards a balanced
budget" and he added:
"This administration advo.

New Library Sought

ical literature in the world is

Going further, the task force
recommended that the Armed
Forces Medical Library at Sew

S.W. be:
/. Placed under and as a di-
vision of The Smithsonian Insti-
tuition, instead of the Depart
ment of Defense.
Q. Named the National Library

8. Given an adequate budget.
At present. according to the
task force, the Library, "serves
the future of medical research
intimately and widely" more
so. than any other medical
agency Of the Federal Govern
ment.
Building Need Overdue.
For over 80 years, the task
force said. the Library has been
in need Of a new building.
Since 1886, when it was started
by the then Surgeon General
of the Army, it has surpassed
its role as a library for service
medicine and has become ma
tional" in scope, the task force
says.
The library has expanded to
such a point that its collections
have spilled into leaky. drafty.
temporary buildings across Inde-
pendence avenue and even over
into Cleveland, Ohio. whore a
branch was established to house
the more ancient type or mav.-
rial the library collects.
There is no clear statutory
authority for the functions which
the library now serves" accord
ing to the task force. "The Ii
brary is ineffectively placed in
point of administration, made
quately housed, and too poorly
supported to permit effective
conduct Of its pertinent func-
tions.
Reorganization Urged.
To change the status of the
library the task force recon-
mended:
1--WE find that the status and
organization of the National Art
Gallery as an all but autono-
nous division Of the Smithson-
ian Institution supply a satisfac-
tory guide or model for the re-
organization Of the library into

Hoover Task Force Asks End
OF Federal Medical Chaos

commission was Representative
Holifield, Democrat. of Cali
fornia, who in a separate state
ment declared he objected to
certain" recommendations and
added:
THE repeated mention in the
report Of alleged waste in ex-
penditures for Government
medical facilities and services
should not make us lose sight of
the tragic waste Of human life
resulting from inadequate medi-
cal care"
Military Dependents Plan.
Another recommendation was
for development of a system of
Government aided voluntary
health insurance for dependents
of military personnel in the
United States-dependents who
now are eligible for free care
in military hospitals on "facili-
ties-abailable" basis. Although
the Government would help pay
for premiums. the system would
be expected to involve less
overhead expense" and also re-
lieve "the strain" on crtain hos
pitals.
In proposing health insurance
systems utilizing private plans
for all Federal civilian employees,
for dependents of military per-
sonnel and for certain personnel
now receiving care in Public
Health Service hospitals. the
commission made no reference
to how it felt about President
Eisenhower's proposal for Fed
'eral reinsurance" of private
health insurance plans.
However, the commissions task
force made clear its disapproval
Of the Eisenhower plan.
After mentioning the Eisen-
hover proposal, the task force
said in its report:
I'VE believe that medical and
hospital care programs should
not become a vehicle by which
the Federal government would
enter or regulate all or part of
the insurance industry. We be-
lieve rather that the govern
ment approach should be
through existing voluntary health
insurance systems, though con-
tribution to the purchase of in
surance from voluntary systems
rather than to have the Federal
government become a self in
surer."
Regional System Suggested.
Another recommendation
called for coordination of ad-
ministration of military hos
pitals of the three armed forces
on a regional basis-that is. a
system in which one or another
of the services would be given
responsibility for the care of
military patients of all three
services in specific geographic
area. For example. in one area,
the Army might have the re-
sponsibility: in another, the
Navy.
Under such a system, said the
commission, many small facili-
ties could be disposed of"
There is duplication and even
competition in the provision of
services by the Army, Navy and
Air Force" said the commission
Closings Recommended.
The commission said its task
force had recommended closing
two Air Force hospitals in the
San Francisco area (at Hamil-
ton Field and Camp Parks and
four Navy infirmaries in the area
(at Treasure Island, San Fran
cisco Shipyard, Alameda Air
Field and Moffett Field.
Also, that the task force had
recommended closing two army
hospitals in the Norfolk, Va.
area-at Fort Eustis and Fort
Monroe-and four Navy infirm-
aries at Ocean Naval Air Base,
Norfolk Retraining Command,
Norfolk Naval Base, and Little
Greek Amphibian Base.
| But the commission itself did
not specifically make such rec
concentrations.

conceded that a sizeabIe portion
Of the reduction vas provided for

trolled Congress before the Eisen-
hover administration took over.
Last Years Cut Discussed.
The Democrats asked Mr..
Humphrey to explain why the
administration advocated tax
reduction last year when the
Treasury also faced a deficit and
are opposed to it this year.
Last year we saved the

tary replied. 1T was just about

Mr.. Humphrey encountered
Democratic fire when at one
point he said the House Ways

orders" to rush through the pro-
vision for an income tax cut.
Senator Smathers commented
that he didn't know the Ways
