Efforts of President and Economic Aides
Believed Not Having Much Success

President Kennedy and his
economic spokesmen talked
encouragingly of the state Of
the Nation to the White
House conference on eco
nomic issues here this week.
Their remarks were part of
an obvious effort to increase
business confidence.
The practical indicators
suggest that the effort is not
succeeding.
The Presidents tax bill
which combines incentives to
business with a withholding
tax on dividends and interest
is mired in the Senate FL
nance Committee. Members
who normally reflect busi-
ness sentiment, led by Chair
man Byrd, are arguing that
a better collection system can
do the dividend-interest job
or at least ought to be given
a chance.
Majority Leader Mansfield
has promised a hard fight to
rescue withholding. Whether
he can catch up to the
current misconception that
this is a new tax rather than
a net to catch tax evaders
is doubtful.
1t is not expected that the
President would sign a bill

DAVID LAWRENCE

More medical care for the
aged" is how the adminstra-
tion's plan is usually de-
scribed. But, though COM
mendable in purpose, it may
turn out to mean less medi-
cal care for all ages"
The program championed
by President Kennedy with
the best intentions in the
world can bring about a
tragic setback for America
"a hardship for old, for
middle-aged and for young
people.
For, instead of providing
medical care for one. age
group. the end result may be
not enough doctors to take
care Of the sick generally.
In Great Britain, for in
stance, after IA years of 80
cialized medicine" many
people now call it a mess"
Large numbers of young
British physicians are emf
grating to other lands. They
see no future in Britain be-
cause of low incomes, over
work and lack of opportuni-
ties to specialize. Conversely,
medical students from India,
Pakistan and other countries
are flocking to Britain and
predominant in the hospitals.
They are usually internes or
taking postgraduate work and
go back home after a few
years. Language difficulties
are frequent. The hospitals
in Britain continue to be un-
derstaffed. There's a scarcity
of nurses and specialists.
Now, nobody is proposing
that the british system of
"socialized medicine" be du-
plicated in the United States.
But the critics of the Ken
nedy proposal are convinced
it will inevitably produce
some of the evils Of social
lied medicine" For the
shortage of doctors is ex-
pected to intensity and cause
serious problems that could
Illustrate adequate medical
care for all age groups.
With the growth of popu-
lation in America, medical
care, while of a high stand
ard, is not as readily avail
able as it used to be. Few
doctors can take time to
make house calls. Many doc
tors offices are crowded with
patients. There's a tendency
Evening star., 1962-05-22
Lowering of Standards Under U. S. Plan
Feared by OVerburdeninq Doctors

to run to the doctor for all
aches and pains. If medical
care is to be paid for in large
part by the Government.
this tendency will increase
and thus bring a deteriora-
ton in medical care generally
because of a shortage Of
physicians.
Under a proposal now be-
fore Congress, it is planned
to start 20 new medical
schools and 20 new dental
schools with State and Fed
eral matching funds. But
where will the teachers come
from? They. too, are scarce.
Also, what's going to hap
pen to the application lists
for medical schools? Today
many young people able to
pay the tuition fees still are
hard put to finance the
eight-year period of study
and then the year or two Of
service as internes. In many
a medical school today, the
would-be doctor is married
and his wife works, and her
earnings support them both.
This is said to be true of
three out Of five married
students in the country's
medical schools.
The importation of more
physicians from other coun-
tries-where medical stand
ards in the schools are queS-
tionable-would seem inevi-
table. Last year almost 20
per cent of the doctors ad-
mitted to practice in this
country came from foreign
medical schools.
Family physicians, as COM
pared to specialists and sur
geons, are already too few.
In 1910, general practitioners
made up SO per cent of all
licensed physicians. Today
the percentage is half that
figure. But even this per-
centage doesn't tell all of the
story. Internists and those
doctors who specialize, for
example, in care for babies
concentrate their practice in
big cities. The population in
small towns and rural areas
is therefore, desperately
short of physicians in an
emergency.
There's a marked trend,
too, toward leaving private
practice to go into research,

Spring Brings Widespread Outbreak
With Political and Economic Bases

ROME. - Labor's usual
spring fever has produced a
rash of strikes throughout
Europe. from the Iberian
Peninsula, where strikes are
forbidden. to the Elbe River.
which has not seen a major
walkout since 1947.
The student demonstra-
tions in Portugal have a po-
litical undertone, while the
almost daily strikes going on
for many weeks in Britain
have both political and eco
nomic undertones.
In France the strikes by
both government and in
dustrial workers are due to
economic causes. Wages and
salaries regulated by the
government have not kept up
with the tremendous increase
in the cost of living. The
white collar and dungaree
workers can no longer make
ends meet. So long as the
Algerian war continued they
all frightened their belts. But
now that the French people
are under the illusion that
Algeria is being settled or at
least is no longer a French
problem, the workers are de-
manding a share in the
country's prosperity.
President de Gaulle's gov
ernment is trying to stall
a general wage and salary in
crease until this fall when
it believes the country's
economy may be able to
absorb it without sacrificing
any of Frances economic
growth. But the possibility
exists that under pressure of
the genuine claims of the
workers he might move
earlier.
1t is highly important,
French government leaders
say, that these strikes which
are dictated today by eco
nomic necessity shall not
turn into political demon
strations. This is more than

The Quality of Medical Care

teaching and hospital admin
istration. The Government it
self is using more and more
doctors. The shortage Of doc
tors in the whole country is
growing. Thirty years ago. a
doctor saw about so patients
a week - half of them in
their homes. Today, he sees
an average of 100 patients a
week, but nine out Of 10
come to the doctors office.
This often means long pc
riods of waiting, for instance,
just to get an injection of
vitamins. Time away from
factory and office has been
causing a big economic loss.
Some companies have found
that it saves them money to
set up their own clinics and
hire their own doctors to
care for the routine needs of
employees.
Hospital admissions are up
about one-third over what
they were 10 years ago. de-
spite the supposed improve
ment in national health.
Hospital rates are higher.
Private medical insurance is
growing in scope and cover
age. Now, with the Federal
Government stepping in to
pay hospital bills from bill
lions of dollars to be collected
annually through an increase
in social security taxes, hos
pital cases will increase. The
doctors offices, in turn, will
be more crowded than ever,
and citizens of all ages are
bound to suffer from the
acute shortage of doctors
time.
Would young men in this
country who consider becom-
ing doctors be attracted to a
profession where Someday the
Government may fix the fees?
Would they want to become
general practitioners anyway,
while specialists and surgeons
fare much better in income?
It's the same old story Of
private initiative versus a
socialized state where the
Government tries to do every
thing. 1t may sound like good
politics today, but eventually
the facts catch up with the
propaganda arguments. For
the problem of medical care
isn't really limited to the one
group of senior citizens" 1t
involves the quality of medi-
cal care that is going to be
available to everybody.

fresh advantages without the
new evenues to pay for
them. But apparently those
incentives are not lush
enough to overcome distaste
for the new Government

like something about the

an interesting mystery.

thinks.

to be on the right track in
solving economic quarrels
which are causing the work
erS to lose a part Of their
earnings and at the same
time cost the industrialists
sizeable sums. The solution
lies in profit sharing in which
labor and capital receive an
equitable amount.
A Volkswagen strike was
averted a few weeks ago by
an increase in wages. But
during the talks by indus
trialists. labor representatives
and government arbiters the
idea of this profit sharing
was discussed and agreed on.
OF course, the increase in
wages resulted in an increase
in the domestic price of au-
tomobiles. Minister of Eco
nomics Ludwig Erhard op-
posed the higher prices with
the same vehemence as Pres
ident Kennedy opposed the
rise in steel price. He threat
ened to lower the import
duty on foreign automobiles
of the Volkswagen type. The
WV MANAGEMENT. supported

him to go ahead and try it.
After a couple of weeks of
clustering he beat a haSty
retreat. He realized that the
management and employees
were working together and
he could not win if a pro-
test" strike was called.
The power of the govern
ment in Western Germany as
well as in other European in
QuStrlal countries is nowhere
near that of the President Of
the United States.

possible in France where the
Communist Party, in tempo
rary eclipse. would inject it
self into the strikes and
transform the demands for
improvement of economic ad-
vantages into a class war
fare.
The strikes in Germany
have the same economic
character; wages and sala-
ries have not kept up with the
increased cost of living, a
phenomenon which prevails
all over the world, for no OBJ
vious reasons.
Economists in Europe are
attempting to explain the
rise as due to the colossal ex-
penditures of governments,
not only for defense but also
on social engineering. This
is definitely true in the
United States. they say,
where Government extrava-

of the American citizens. In
Western Europe, however,
where government expendi-
ture is nowhere near our
lavish scale. the alarming
rise in the cost Of living is
not easily explainable.
But so long as the walk
