IndigentCore
Rate Set at
$3OPerD Day

Sixteen Washington area
hospitals have told area city
and county governments they
will refuse to contract for the
care of indigents at anything
less than $50 per day.
William M. Bucher, execu-
tive director of the Hospital
Council of the National Capt.
tai Area, told the jurisdictions
in letters mailed last week
that the move was made in
line with the councils policy
Of obtaining full costs for Serv-
ices by fiscal year 1868.
The only exception is that
hospitals will in some cases
sign contracts for lower rates
with their own county or city
governments. Alexandria Hos
pital, for example. will sign
a $26-per-day contract with
the City of Alexandria but will
refuse anything less than $50
per day for contracts with
other jurisdictions.
Mr.. Bucher pointed out that
the District, recognizing the
losses to hospitals from indi-
gent care, has asked for a max
imum $34 rate for the fiscal
year beginning July /.
He noted that the $50 per
day figure represents a 81 in
crease over the current fiscal
years $26 rate or about q SO
per cent difference between the
present rate and the actual
average cost Of $35 per day.
Mr.. Bucher declared that
hospital officials insist that
private paying patients should
not be forced by suburban area
governments to pay more to
offset the losses incurred by
these Jurisdictions.
These governments, he said,
do not attempt to buy other
services and goods for less than
actual costs as they do hospital
service.
The deadline for the in
creased per diem rate is July

ing to go back to your people

I think we will make a sad
mistake If we turn down this

But D. Stewart Patterson, a
layman of Chevy Chase Meth
odist Church, warned the gath

Nd, sought to reverse a con-
ference vote Thursday which
deleted a paragraph in the
Conference Nursing Home Re
port. The deleted paragraph
would have approved the use
of Federal and State funds to
construct a nursing home.
To Cost $5SO,OOO
Cost of the proposed 100-bed
structure, with attendant ia
cilities, was estimated at
$580,O00. OF this amount, the
report noted that $33,334 would
be available from Federal and
State funds for construction
and equipment costs. The re-
naming $246, ,666 was to be
raised by churches and mem
bers of the Baltimore Confer
ence. The latter consists Of
moye than 100000 members in
546 Methodist churches in
Maryland, the District Of Co.
lumbia and parts Of West Vir-
ginia.
Despite the adverse vote on
accepting Governmental tax
funds, the conference decided
to go ahead with plans to build.
A resolution to this effect was
submitted by the Rev. Harold
R. Hodgson Of the Howard Park
Methodist Church, Baltimore.
His motion, which was passed,
called for the raising of funds
for the same within the frame
work Of the report"
mot Frightened"
In presenting the motion for
reconsideration of the deleted
paragraph, Mr.. Beatty said II
am not nearly so frightened of
Federal aid as some people
seem to be. I sincerely believe
we can have Federal aid and
not have strings tied to it. D..
If we eliminate the provision
for Federal aid, we may not
be able to get the nursing
home and I do not think many
Of us want to take that chance. "
The Rev. C. Douglas Cooney
of Baltimore declared, 1--WE are
being asked to take this need
as a means of violating a Spe-
cific principle many of us deep
ly believe in. We are holding
forth a principle that asserts
this is something we ourselves
can do and we should not let
the door open to aid from the
State or Federal governments. /"
The Rev. Donald D. Lewis OF
Hamline Methodist Church
Washington, contended that
these public funds were made
available to help NEEDY Amer

Several residents Of Vienna,
Va, have formed a committee
to support Fairfax County in
its attempt to merge with the
Town of Clifton to become a
city.
Formation Of the committee
last week was the first indica-
ton Of any organized opposi-
ton to the towns plans to be-
come a city itself if the county
merger threatens to dissolve
Vienna'S charter.
Chairman Of the new COM
mittee is Ward Freeman who
headed a commission appointed
by the Town Council to study a
future government for Vienna.
Held Too Costly
The commission reported last
fall that city status for the
town would be too expensive.
A week ago the council au-
thorized filing of a petition for
city status but said the final
steps would be withheld until
the council knows more of its
future.
Councilmen have been con-
cerned because the consolida-
ton Of Fairfax County and
Clifton, If approved at a July
II referendum. would probably
mean that Vienna's charter
would be revoked. Rather than
see the town dissolved, most
councilmen have indicated
