Mrs. 1 PAGE EIGHT STATESVILLE, N. C. DAILY RECORD -The Leading Newspaper FRIDAY, MARCH 2, 1945 Lawmakers Argue CompromiseMedical Plan Pro and Con LARRY DALE RALEIGH, March most ardent backers of the hospital and medical care plan in the North Carolina General Assembly said yesterday, "we would not have accepted this compromise measure unless a definite commitment of the state to this program had accompanied it. "Had it not been accomp.

anied by that commitment we would have introduced the bill as originally drawn and let: it be defeated on the floor of the House and then let the people of the state decide the issue when they chose representatives: at the next general election," 1 the House member, who declined to be named, said. The "compromise" measure introduced calls for a student loan fund of $50,000 per year; appropriates $50,000 a year for continuation of the work of the medical care commission; and makes appropriation of $500,000 for care of indigent in hospitals throughout the state cotingent upon existence of a surplus after emergency salaries to state employes havel been paid, and authorizes expansion of the two year medical school at the University of Nortn Carolina to a four year medical school. The original bill was drawn around recommendations of a 50- man commission appointed by former Gov. J. M.

Broughton to recommend such a program to the General Assembly. It called for appropriation of $10,085,000 to carry out the program which included a $5,000,000 fund to finance construction of a hospital and facilities for the four year medical school. Proponents of the hospital and medical care plan were agreed only in their desires not to be mentioned by name. Their opinions of the "compromise" measure were varied and sometimes violent. Doctor Is Vociferous One prominent doctor said "the stabbing in the back that has gone on in the handling of this measure has made me sick of the whole Democratic process." "Not even the principles outlined in the report of the commission have been fully supported," he said.

Another prominent public figure, connected with the commission since its beginning, said that the bill "falls far short of what was hoped for even at this Legislature. "One of the most unfortunate limitations is that it makes no provision for aid to the communities for additional hospital facilities. "That's the chief lack because a lot of communities are ready to build hospitals if they could get aid," he said. He added that the commission had thought that since the state is practically at the bottom in the health field, such an emergency would have justified setting up immediately a substantial fund for permanent improvements, "especially as materials are available for such work even at this time." He said that the program would have justified expenditure of some of the post-war reserve fund or "even the issuance of bonds, since the program would be in the nature of capital investment." No Materials? The ardent backer from the House flatly declared that materials could not be obtained for hospital construction at this time. He said that the federal government "has clamped down on priorities for hospital construction since January 1.33 He stressed the fact that when the commission made its report and recommendations on which the original bill was based "we believed that the war in Europe would be over by Jan.

1.3 Conditions beyond our control prevented carrying out of the program outlined in the original bill. "If the state had approved any appropriation for manent improvement and then failed to provide the funds asked in the original measure, we would consider present bill a bitter disappointment." He said that by recommending favorable action on the compromise measure Gov. R. Gregg Cherry indicated that the state recognized the obligation of the state to "provide medical care for all the people of North Carolina and to provide more hospitals." "We are sure that at the next General Assembly, or at the first special session, appropriation of money to carry out the provisions of the original bill will be the first order of business."

Discussing her case Mrs. Sousa gratefully continued: "I had reached the point where I could hardly eat any kind of food at all without suffering terribly from sour nervousness and severe headaches.
