ENJOYS to Russia

Eleanor Roosevelt, in a talk
recently before the Woman's
National Democratic Club,
suggested two "emissaries"
to negotiate with Russia's
Nikita Khrushchev. This
should not be construed, how
ever. as a whole-hearted in
dorsement of both nominees.
Adlai Stevenson. for example,
while he appears ideologically
oriented in many respects.
seems a bit too timorouS to
get in many words with the
top man in Moscow. Also,
judging by results of the last
two presidential elections. the
extent of Mr.. Stevenson's
personal influence on the
American "mainStream" is
probably not very impressive
to the Kremlin. Communist
leaders, it must be remem-
bered, are quite power
conscious"
And that is part Of the rea-
son why no one in America
can be deemed better suited
to negotiate" with Khru-
shchev than Mrs. RooSevelt's
other nominee-Walter Reu-
Their. Certainly Walter and
Nikita would understand each
other perfectly. There is nc
basic difference in the Uto-
plan ideologies they publicly
profess; neither is there var

unfair to Hospitals

The logic of your indignant
editorial, Unfair to Hos
pitals," was impeccable. AS
Rev. Thomas j. O'Donnell.
spokesman for our nonprofit
Washington Hospital Council,
grirnly warned a House appro-
priations subcommittee: 1t is
"unrealistic" to pay private
hospitals less than the cost of
hospitalizing indigents at the
municipal institution.
In the Nations only voteless
community. where Congress
and the President exercise
dictatorial control in matters
pertaining to health security
for the INDECENT, we should be
fair, not only to deficit-spend-
ing nonprof1t hospitals, but to
the bankrupt taxpayer. The
District has only one near
empty purse to finance both
nonprofit and tax-subsidized
hospitals, both serving iden-
tical health security needs.
When one fails, the other
must take over. This COM
munity of common interest
and responsibility In sharing
common burdens should be
recognized, The two systems
should avoid Implications of
function and ruinous competi-
ton for personnel and our
indivisible health security
dollar.
Nationwide, the identity of
common purpose between tax
subsidized and nonprofit hos
pital systems is both impress
sive and convincing. In 1856,
the American Hospital Asso-
citation reported that of l.
GOT ,692 hospital beds, 69.3 per
cent were under governmental
control. Governmental hos
pitfalls carry 1871 per cent of
the Nations daily patient
load of 1,355,792; spend 52.2
per cent of the total hospital
payroll and employ 47.2 per
cent of the personnel needed
to operate the Nations hos
pitfalls. Our nonprof1t hospitals
control 27.5 per cent Of hos
pital beds, spend 44.7 per cent
Of the Nations hospital pay
roll and employ 40 per cent
Of our inadequate pool Of
medical personnel. Together,
nonprofit enterprise and tax
subsidized health security,
both undeniably financed by
the same community purse,
control and operate 96.8 per
cent of the Nations hospital
beds, spend 96.9 per cent Of
the Nations hospital payroll
and employ 96.2 per cent Of
the Nations hospital per-
sonnet.
Instead of the costly folly Of
operating duplicated and COM
peting systems, serving a
common community purpose,
why not consolidate and CO.
ordinate them? Here in the
Capital, Congress can COM
mand this sensible unifica-
ton. And in doing it, Congress
will bring solvency to our
health security dollar.

born so years too soon. The

June II, 1908, reported: 1.-THE
Lemoine diamond case came
to a sensational end with an
unexpected climax this after

his famous formula for the
manufacture of diamonds is
a fantastic farce. Henry
Lemoine was taken into Gus

100 Years Ago

The streets of Washington
were not in the best of shape a
century ago. and on June ID,
1858. The Star took occasion
to complain about one stu
alton: within a quarter of
mile of the Capitol, in one of
the principal thoroughfares
of this Metropolis - Four
and-a half street-there is
considerable mud. How it
came there, or who is to
blame for its being there, is
more than we can say; but
there it is, as our sad expe-
rience can vouch for. 1t is
not surface mud. either. but
is contained in great deep
holes, thickly interspread
throughout the breadth of
the street from Pennsylvania
avenue to Maryland avenue.
It ought, to be remedied,
really. ;"
A look at some of the con-
siderations by Congress 100
years ago is a revelation of
how our Nation differed. Such
a list, appearing in The Star
on June 16. 1858, included:
San act to establish a land
office in New Mexico. d.
An act for the admission Of
Kansas into the Union. q,
A resolution authorizing
Lieutenant VIM. N. LETTERS to
accept a sword from Her
Majesty the Queen of Spain.
An act for the relief Of
the settlers on certain lands
in the State Of Illinois. :"
The illness Of a President
was not a matter Of detailed
discussion 100 years ago. The

ported: THE President (Bu-
