porated in hospitals either going

burg and Warrenton. Senator
Fenwick said, co-ordinated with
Maryland hospital building. Still
another alternative is joint spon-
sorship of one central institu-
ton or a string Of regional
clinics, he said.
CARE OF AGED
Life spans steadily are in
creasing, Senator Fenwick noted,
and neeessitate long-range PLAN
ming for care of the aged and
Iinf1rm. Now nursing homes
carry the burden of such care.
But the District. for example.
may not legally pay more than
500 month to the home for any
one person. DR.. Finucane said
standards were hard to maintain
for the price.
In the offing are plans for D. C.
General Hospital space to give
the aged medical treatment.
Their living quarters may he
found in the future public hous-
ing projects expected to be built
in the adjoining region within
the next decade.
Senator Fenwick said he
thought Northern Virginia and
Maryland counties could get to-
gether on one or several institu-
tons for the aged. with District
aid. But pooled public nursing
STATS might work throughout
the region. he suggested.
INDECENT Treatment
The District pays more than
81 million annually to private
hospitals that contract for care
of INDECENT patients referred to
them by the municipality. Some
surrounding counties have con-
ltractual arrangements with hos
pitfalls for such treatment.
Senator Fenwick said. and others
do not.
Also, Virginia and Maryland
jurisdictions divide such costs
differently between the State
and local units.
Senator Fenwick urged more
uniformity and CO = ordinated
efforts to eventually get the pay
ments from the patients
themselves. rather than the
governing body. +"
POLIO
The area now. except for Mary
land. is out Of polio serum. The
Senator suggested that uniform.
ity of incubation techniques
such as placing orders together
or using the same kind of sy-
ringes. might give the separate
jurisdictions better service from
suppliers.
Considerable progress toward
co-ordinating NEGOTIATIONS was
reported by DR.. Finucane ir

ficers from the District and sur
rounding counties and cities.
