Scientists Study Non
Victims Following Polio
Outbreak at Ketchikan
SEATTLE, (/P) — The outbreak
of poliomyelitis in Ketchikan, this
fall, where the incidence was ex
ceptionally high, may provide
important new information about
how immunity is built up among
non-victims during an epidemic.
Dr. Charles A. Evans, executive
officer of the department of mic
robology at the University of
Washington, is in Ketchikan this
week to seek light on the devel
opment of antibodies in the blood
of non-victims.
Dr. Evan’s visit partly over
lapped that of Dr. W.R. Giedt, epi
demologist for the state health
department, both sent to Ketchi
kan by the National Foundation
for Infantile Paralysis.
Their studies involve examina
tion of blood samples taken from
more than one-tenth of the popu
lation of Ketchikan. The labora
tory tests will be made here after
Dr. Evans’ return here.

Compromise Plan
Offered for Nat’l
Health Policy
By FRANK E. CAREY
WASHINGTON, <(/P)—President
Truman’s commission on the
health needs of the nation came
up Thursday with a middle
ground proposal for solving one
of the country’s hottest issues —
how to pay the doctor’s bill.
The commission proposed a $1 Vz
billion annual outlay of federal
and state funds to bolster volun
tary insurance covering the costs
of hospital and medical care for
all the nation’s people lacking full
ability to pay.
The program would be admin
istered chiefly by the states,
which would match federal mon
ey dollar-for-dollar.
It differs both from a plan un
successfully espoused by Presi
dent Truman and a rival proposal
of the American Medical Associ
ation (AMA).
President Truman, since 1945,
has vainly plugged for a federal
system of pre-paid sickness insur
ance for 125 million wage-earning
Americans—to be financed by a
compulsory tax on employes and
employers, along the lines of the
Social Security System.
The AMA has termed Truman’s
proposal “socialized medicine,”
and has campaigned for the ex
tension of “voluntary” insurance
plans—that is, plans which a per
son can purchase if he wishes.
The commission, appointed in
November of 1951 to assess the
nation’s health needs, and to
make recommendations as it saw
fit, collected some two million
words of testimony from experts
in various fields during hearings
held in Washington—and close to
another million words in hearings
throughout the country.
One of its main findings was
that “despite superior medical
service and low death rates, Am
ericans are not enjoying as good
health as might be expected in
this country.”
One prime reason, the commis
sion said in its report to Truman,
was that people in low income
groups can’t afford adequate med
ical care—even on present pre
payment plans.
