THE AIR
In Hurry
To Cash In
By BERNIE HARRISON

The scramble to get Vaughn Meader as a
guest on the prme-time TV variety shows must
have been fierce.
Ed Sullivan featured Meader before his album
smash "The First Family" really caught on.
hence the impact was negligible. He did the press
conference bit but impressed mainly as another
Presidential mimic. Of which there are literally
dozens.
talked to Andy Williams recently and he
said he hoped to have Meader on his show
maybe in about five weeks. Andy has a mutual
connection; the hit album is Archie Bleyers
Arthur Godfreys ex-music mani and Andy
records for Archie
But Jack Paar won the Meader derby, possibly
because the latter'S mentors reasoned that an
appearance with Paar who opened his season with
filmed story on President Kennedy's PIT 100
exploit would be more desirable. OF course, Paar
may have simply topped all offers. Meader's radio
bits 6or WWDC here) indicate that he's man
in hurry to cash in. What DOES he do for an
encore?

Sovietization of the East Euro
pean economies and to redirect
the flow of satellite trade from
the West to the Soviet Union
and its other bloc countries.
During this period the Soviet
Union was the model for all eco
nomic endeavors of the satellite
countries. By disregarding the
actual needs and economic ca
pacities of the satellites, this ap-
proach eventually led to serious
disruption of their economic life.
But it was not finally dropped
until three years after Stains
death. At that time, Premier
Khruschev revived the old Lenin-
list thesis and called for economic
unification in East Europe by
means of ra-national planning
and international division of labor
within the bloc.
But progress toward this goal
was slow. 1t was not until the
meeting of the 18th session of
the Council in July 1860 that
a decision was finally made to
concentrate on the formulation of
an integrated long-term economic
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1962-06-10

eral theory. Under a system where
all doctors can prescribe without
any regard to the cost involved, a
certain amount of bureaucratic
restraint has been found neceS-
sary. The chief medical officer of
the Ministry of Health urges doc
tors to prescribe standard drugs
as opposed to expensive "proprie-
tary preparations" whenever
possible. And a doctor who ha-
bitually is found guilty of excess
sive or improper" prescribing is
likely to wind up in trouble.
If the family doctor forms the
foundation Of the National Health
Service, however, the system by
no means stops there. In addition,
it undertakes to provide for all
who want it, a comprehensive
service covering every branch of
medical and allied activity, from
the care of minor ailments to
major medicine and surgery; TO
include the care of mental as we'll
as physical health and all spe-
cialist services :"
In short, the works. And
whenever the family doctor finds
himself unable to cope with the
problems of one of his patients,
he is entirely free to send him
along to a specialist or order him
hoSpitalized in any of Britain's
5000 hospitals, without reference
to any outside authority, for as
long as 1t may take to cure him.
For all this, of course, the pa
tient pays nothing, except for
small charges that have been i'm
posed on prescriptions and some
items Of medical equipment. For
each item on a prescription, for
instance, he pays 2 shillings
tabout % cents. A National
Health Service wig Zone of the
more expensive items goes for
about 81.
These charges, introduced in re-
cent years over the opposition of
the Labor Party, compromise to
some extent the original ideal of
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1962-06-10

plan for Eastern Europe. The
resolution of that meeting Git was
held in Budapest called on all
member countries to draw up long
term plans for the same 20-year
period and at the same time it
stressed expansion of responsible
ties and control by Comecon
organs. Up to that time planning
had been left exclusively to the
member states. Since Budapest,
Comecon has assumed RESPONSE
bility for determining economic
trends for the bloc as a whole,
and for planning the form and
extent of the contribution of the
member states to the overall
targets. This constitutes a basic
change in bloc integration prac-
tees.
The 18th session of Comecon
at Berlin in 1861 noted that work
had already begun in the member
countries on the compilation of
long-range (20-year) economic de-
velopment plans. Consultations, it
was said, were going forward on
the basic problems of the general
plan.

after defense and the cost of
servicing the national debt. About
80 per cent of this total is met
out Of general and local taxes
and a special weekly national
service contribution collected on
paycheckS. The rest is made up
out of payments by patients for
special equipment and prescrip-
tons (about as per cent Of the
totaD and various government
old-age programs.
Oddly enough, the only one who
really gets something for nothing
out of the health service is the
casual visitor. Benefits under the
program are extended to all for
eign residents as a matter of
British hospitality with certain
safeguards against abuse). Visit
ing correspondents who have been
lucky enough to get sick in Brit
ain-to look the wrong way cross
ing the street, fall off of buses,
keel over on the pavement or
come down with emergency appen-
dicitis - have been among the
warmest boosters of the system.
For others, the question of what
this system has accomplished over
the last IL years is a good deal
harder to answer.
Quite obviously some Of the
major bugabooS generally aSSoci-
ated with "socialized medicine"
have been exploded in the process.
The system works to the reason
able satisfaction Of those involved
in it. 1t has produced no huge
bureaucratic apparatus. The
whole health service is stated by
