Lack of money isn't the main
reason older persons who are
sick don't see a doctor, q
University of Chicago associate
professor said yesterday.
Only one person in 16 in q
recent study-and about two
in every 100 in the older
population-said a dearth OF
funds kept them from medical
care when III, DR.. Ethel Shanas
reported.
THE majority of older peo-
pie appear able to meet cur
rent physician charges for out
of f-hospital contacts from their
own resources" DR.. Shanas re-
ported. "On the other hand"
she said, two out of every five
older people report that they
would be unable to meet ex-
penditures for medical care
should these be as large as
$500"
Report to Doctors
Yet while II out Of every 20
interviewed reported an ILL
ness in the four preceding
weeks. only one-third Of the
II said they had seen q doctor
or talked to one on the phone
during that time.
The attitude of their genera
ton toward doctors and illness
is the deciding factor, DR..
Shanas believes.
The 65-and-over population
is convinced for the most part
that doctors should be con-
suited only for IAN acute ILL
ness episode" she said. Many
feel they can treat an illness
as well as a doctor can, and
two out Of three older persons
feel that "a person understands
his own health better than
most doctors do"

Ben Gurion' S Riqh+

If that sly old fox of the Negev David Ben Gurion
had found storehouse with 10000 spears on MS
property and had sold them to the United States,
he would have been hailed in Israel for helping to
correct that tiny states unfavorable trade balance
This is what he did early this summer
Except they weren't spears, they were grenades
And it wasn't the United States, it was West Ger
many.
These two minor exceptions have toppled his
government Because of his failure to achieve work
ing majority with the exclusion of his detract0rS IN
the Knesset, his chances of reassumlng the lsrael
premiership after Septembers' elections are very
questionable.
Because Ben Gurion has shown over the past de-
cade that he is leader of tremendous ability-and
certainly such tiny country can hardly boast
plethora of such individuals-his custer on such
matter can cause nothing but utter despair for think
ing Israeis and their friends
Correcting it's unfavorabe trade balance is Israels
No. 1 problem beyond that of safeguarding It's
borders Great headway has been made toward SELF
sufficency but much more has yet to be made IL
would be rank treachery for man in Ben Gurlons
position not to attempt to build his country His road
block has been group which doesn't nave the Vlson
to see beyond its collective nose.
Ben Gurion was upbraided for rearming the Ger
many which caused the death OF six million Jews IN
the recent past For of his opponents the item
sold was not important-any business dealings with
Germans would be obnoxious to them
Well, Ben Gurion could have told them that
grenades are of more Importance than spears In
the scheme of military operations these days-aC
least not in Europe 1t is wonder that West Ger
many placed such an order in the first place; the
Germans most assuredly have had in mind the cul-
tvating of Israel as market for their products How
ever Ben Guron could not very well tell his critics
that he was selling something of little value because
that would amount to a criticism of his customer
What salesman can afford to do that?
The moral issue of doing any kind Of business with
West Germany is matter of putting the shoe on the
correct foot Rather than oppose selling to Germans,
these Israeli moralists should want to increase trade
with Germany much possible. What greater
poetic Justice than to utilize profits from Germany
to build buwark against the cancer born there?
