The change in philosophy"
would also affect the rest Of
the health department.
Regardless Of Means
A patient needing nursing or
other home care, for example,
could qualify for 1t regardless
of means. The patient would
then pay all, part or none OF
the costs of the service, depend
ing on his ability to pay.
The means test for maternal
care at the city'S clinics would
also be abandoned.
Because the Districts death
rate at birth is the highest In
the Nation, no charge at all
would be made for clinic care
Health officials believe that al
most all women who can afford
it would continue to go to 9

clinic care becomes free to all

would have to be shown.
DR.. Grant proposed, in testi-
mony released by the House
District Subcommittee on APP
propriations yesterday, that
District General Hospital, for
example, "be considered a COM
rnunity general hospital and
accept any patient that desired
its services just as does any
other hospital. ,.-
All Would Be Billed
"All patients would be billed
for services rendered.
"a note would be included on
the bill to the effect that If the
patient felt he was not able to
pay, he would contact the
Health Departments social
worker who would make an
appropriate determination as
to whether he could pay part or
all of the bill"
The patient would be ex-
pected to pay the total bill
unless he applied for and re-
eeived a "discounting."
Through interviewing at the
hospital, some patients eligi-
bility for District funds would
still be determined.
"In any case" said DR..
Grant, "all patients would be
billed whether or not the So
cial worker had determined
that the bill was to be dis
counted. This would. hopefully,
increase the patients sense of
responsibility and his realiza-
ton of the cost of medical
care for which someone has to
pay"
Hits Present System
DR.. Grant said the present
policy that calls for turning
away a patient who can pay
is unavoidable and is alien to a
physicians ethics.
At present, he said, the work
of the Departments Medical
Assistance Division is divided

There's going to be plenty Of
excitement Monday night at
the Prince Georges Plaza
Lanes. where the championship
Of the Coca Cola Mixed Doubles
duckpin league will be decided.
The league has produced a
ding-dong race all year be-
tween three teams. but the
championship race now is mar
moved to two teams and they
will fight it out Monday night.
The battle will pit Ralph
Kramer and Jacqui Dietsch
against Vincent Shorty Div
yer and Lucy Andes. Going
into the final three matches,
Jacqui and Ralph lead by one
game.
Until two weeks ago the
team Of Mabel Schatz and
Mickey Nocera looked like a
winning combination. but the
current No. / and No. 2 teams
came fast and swept past Ma
bel and Mickey in tornado like
fashion.
Mabel and Mickey were
counted out in the leagues lat
est action when they lost all
three games to the Billy Mis-
chon-R u tn Rainey combina-
ton. Previously they had been
shut out by the Dietsch-K ram-
er team.
Jacqui and Ralph didn't
fare too well, either, in the
semifinal round Of action, los
ing a pair Of games to Shorty
McClintic and Bill Keckley, but
nevertheless they managed to
stay on top by a game.
The Divver-Andes combina-
ton moved up on the heels of
the current leaders by taking
two games from Frankie Wilson
and Jerry Stair. So when Mon
day night rolls around Ralph
and Jacqui will take the lanes
with a 70-4l record, with Shorty
and Lucy showing a 69-42 mark.
If Shorty and Lucy keep up
their current pace they will be
hard to take out of the run
ming. In the triumph over the
Wilson-Stsir team, Mrs. Andes
rolled a. 178 medal game and q
397 series. Mrs. Andes 178 set
a new high individual team rec
ord for women, replacing the old
mark (176), held by Frankie
Wilson.
