their stooges at the expense OF
the rank-and-file.
But their greed in this res
pect is not the most serious as
pect of compulsory unionism.
The affront to the dignity OF
the individual worker and his
basic rights as a free American
is even more deplorable.
When man is forced to join
a union and subject himself to
union discipline to make a liv-
ing for his family, he can mel
ther cry out in protest nor re-
sign when the self-appointed
and self-perpetuating leaders OF
the union betray his trust.
The consequences of such I'M
moral and un-American COM
pulsion have been placed on the
public record by several Con-
gressional Investigations, OF
which the Mcclellan Commit
tees is the latest.

FACING THE FACTS
w. A. Robinson

Getting hospital service is a
problem today. We are almost
never expecting it when the need
for hospital service strikes us.
Even when we have some warn
ing that someone in the fam
lily is going to need hoSpitaliza-
ton for an operation, it is usual
ly difficult in this area to find
a vacant hospital bed. Many
people who are forced for the
first time to seek hospital serv-
ice know nothing Of the lengthy
red tape necessary for a patient
to be admitted to any private
hospital. Unless a case is an
emergency-a real emergency
hospitals will not admit a case
unless doctor has made ar
rangementS for the patient.
One may not just walk up to
the door and say, II am sick"
and be admitted. Also only when
a patient gives evidence OF
enough hospital insurance to
cover most or all of the cost OF
disqualification or is of the fl
nancial status to assume reSpon-
Sibilitv for the estimated term
of disqualification, is a hospital
not reluctant to accept the case
and is likely to seek a polite way
of not admitting the patient.
One way, of course, is to plead
mo bed"
Many people, who have never
been hoSpitalized, somehow have
the idea that a hospital is a
place that accepts the sick with
out giving any consideration to
the patients ability to pay the
heavy cost of a stay in the hos
pital. That is true of the public
hospitals like the Maricopa
County Hospital, which exist to
give disqualification to persons
who are citizens and are unable
to pay for the service, but the
private hospitals, such as Good
Samaritan, st. JoSeph'S, and st.
Luke's, even though they have
strong church organizations be-
hind them, would have to close
their doors if they attempted
to do very much charity care.
A private hospital like Memorial
Hospital with no backing of
large religious institution MUST
pay it's way from the fees paid
by patients.
If we take a look behind the
scenes and see the terrific fl

nanciaI investment in such IA
cilitieS as: equipment for sur
gical and x-ray service, various
kinds of medical laboratories.
obstetrics, diet kitchens, laun-
dry and sterilization plants, and
special hospital furniture, we
get a little idea of the terrific
cost of just equipping hospital
plant. Then all about us in the
hospital we see the armies Of
nurses, orderlieS, technicians.
business office workers and 9TH
er clericals, interns and other
professional and technical en-
ployees and it is easily explain
able that the day to day costs
of a hospital make it a highly
expensive operation. Not so ap-
parent usually are some i'm
portant services such as the .
medical records library in which
are kept the complete records
of all cases from the moment
they are admitted to the hospital
until they leave.
Hospitals are required to meet
rigid standards. A hospital must
be kept in careful repair and
scrupulosly clean at all times
and there must be many en-
p1oyeeS for these purposes as.
well as for the work of keeping
the grounds and surroundings
pleasantly beautiful. Many of
the professional and technical
employees are quite high priced
people and the quality of all
employees must be high in
hospital where every employee
must carry out his individual
responsibility satisfactorily. All
Of which means that it takes a
lot of money to run a hospital
and this money must be avail,
able from minute to minute. AS
a matter of fact the cost OF
operating a hospital for one
year is often much more than
the total cost of the plant.
AS in all other services, the
cost of hospital ServiceS has
moved constantly upward as the
cost of living has scared.
People who live IN Phoenix
still face a serious shortage of
hospital beds especially for
emergency care as was evidenc-
ed by a recent food poisoning
incident when one hospital,
which has a reputation for new
