D. c. Group Urges
Health Care
ANA Facing
Vote on Plan
For All Ages
BY CHARLES G. BROOKS
Star stan Writer

MIAMI BEACH, June IA
The District Medical Society
today began pressing the Amer
lean Medical Association to
come up with definite health
care proposals not only for the
elderly but also for all age
groups.
! Washington doctors started
maneuvering a resolution, in
troduced late yesterday, toward
the floor of the AMASHouse of
Delegates for action. If passed,
it would direct the board Of
trustees to draw up a solid
and concrete medical care plan"
for the entire country.
The move came as the House,
the. .AMA's policy-making group,
began four days of delibera.
tions. The resolution was in
troduced for the District Soci-
ETY. by DR.. Raymond P. Holden
and DR.. Ralph M. Caulk.
Only last Sunday Demo-
cratic Party Chairman Paul
Butler took the ANA to task
for opposing the Forand bill
which would give sick benefit
to the aged under an expanded
social security program.
Unexpected Proposal
Many Washington doctors,
particularly sensitive to Con-
gressional sentiment. are be.
lieved to be concerned over the
largely negative testimony pre-
sented by the ANA during
hearings in Congress and it's
lack of an effective, solid pro-
gram to offer in place of pro-
posed Government health in
surance.
The unexpected District pro-
posal, it was learned today,
was only recently approved in
a secret mail ballot by we'll over
80 per cent of the society's
members.
The unusual part of the res
olution was that it would in
clude a plan for all age groups.
Most thinking, even by Con-
greSs, has dealt largely with the
elderly.
1t called on the House of
Delegates to direct the Board of
Trustees Ito prepare con-
crete and positive medical care
plan in keeping with the ideas
of the association" for those
over IS.
1t then called for action on
similar proposals which would
provide medical and hospital
care for everybody regardless
of age.
Broadly WOrded
The broadly worded resolu-
ton would give the trustees
plenty of room to propose
varying types of voluntary in,
surance programs and not
Government sponsored plans.
But it did say that current
recommendations in Congress
for the care of elderly "repre-
sent just the beginning of a
program which may eventually
include the entire population"

AS HE PASSED Salisbury
and entered Worcester
County, he saw several long
chicken houSes-all too evi-
IDENTIFY abandoned.
At Ocean City he asked his
friend, Mitchell Parker, who
was in the chicken business
10 years ago, if production
had fallen off.
II think the Eastern Shore
is producing more chickens
than ever" he said, but a
lot of producers have had to
give up.
To-day the feed industry
finances the business. 1t buys
the day-Qld chicks. They
come from New England for
the most part. The feed
merchant gives them to a
grower and supplies him with
feed, keeping books on the
whole operation, until it is
closed by the sale of the
chickens as broilers or fryers.
If there is a loss, the feed
merchant takes it. If there
is a profit, he and the grower
split $3.50.
Things are different from
when I was in the business.
Then the growers bought
feed on credit and some were
forced out of business when
they were unable to pay.
And in those days it would
take IL weeks to get a
chicken to weigh three
pounds. Now with feeds Of a
higher protein content, and
synthetic vitamins and anti
biotics, chickens will weigh
three to three and one-half
pounds in nine weeks. Grow
ers now get four and one-half
crops of chickens a year, are
hoping to make it FIVE"
Asked how they were sold,
Mitch said, "At auction. l
wish you had time to come
up to Selbyville, Del, about
10 miles from here, and see
it.
"A grower posts on a board
the number of chickens he
has to sell and their average
weight. The buyer, usually a
processer, bids for them and
gets them at the going price,
at present a little over 18
cents a pound live weight.
He has five days to send an
inspector out to see that they
are as offered and to pick
them up"

Highway Costs
In Virginia Down
S316 Million

RICHMOND. Va. Aug. 6
(AP).-The Virginia Depart
ment of Highways Saturday
estimated the cost of complet-
ing more than one thousand
miles Of interstate highways in
the State $1.246 billion, or
1915 million less than the orig
inal estimate projected in 1857.
The new estimate came as
part of a report made to the
Federal Bureau of Public Roads
in Washington. Cost estimates
for the new network Of super
highways are required of all
States every three years. Such
estimates will be subject to re-
view by the Federal agency be-
fore final state and national
cost totals are presented to
Congress next year. ~
Department engineers noted
that the new estimate will form
a basis of apportioning Federal
funds to Virginia between July
l. 1862 and June 80, 1866. They
emphasized, however. that the
new figures cannot be consid-
cred final until review and
possible adjustment by the
Federal road agency.
Virginia has a 1,053-mile net
