In May of last year, State Senator John Tapscott Des Moines) and a group of antipovcrty workers said the best place to provide this free health care is where the poor live: in the Model Cities area, for example. Shortly thereafter, the hospital's trustees voted to construct a building for a new family practice clinic just 100 feet south of the existing hospital structure. Groundbreaking for the new clinic was held Thursday in a ceremony attended by Gov. Robert Ray, among other dignitaries.

Same Doctor Unlike most hospitals where a patient generally is assigned at random to a physician the Broadlawns clinic will permit the same doctor to serve a patient for the two years the intern or resident physician is in training. Hence the name "family practice" clinic. The need to attract interns and residents was the primary reason for building the clinic, explained hospital Adminis- CLIMC- Pea.s-e turn to Page Three Tornado, Hail Tick Is Removed; Girl's Mysterious Illness Solved Their Radios Obsolete; Iowa Lawmen Dismayed Votes toMcGouern By James Flansburg (Register Staff Writer) MIAMI BEACH, FLA. Sup- porters of Senator George McGovern's campaign for the Democratic presidential nomi nation predicted Thursday that the South Dakotan will get at least 32 of Iowa's 46 Democrat ic National Convention votes. By their count, that's a gain of 13 delegates since the May 20 Iowa State Democratic Con vention, with eight of the 13 coming at the expense of Maine Senator Edmund Muskie.

While 13 votes are micro scopic at the conven tion, which opens here Monday, it could be a critical gain for McGovern, who is inching his way toward the 1,509 needed for a firs t-ballot victory Wednesday night. The McGovern prediction of a 13-vote pickup comes as a surprise because Iowa Sena-t Harold Hughes is Muskie's campaign director and had been expected to ho'd Muskie's Iowa forces to gether. "It must be that Hughes is not trying anything," said Jack O'Brien of Sioux City, McGovern's Iowa chairman. Hughes is taking a short vacation with his family and is en route to the convention, but a Hughes aide said: "I think he has done everything he can within reason not beyond the point of reasonable persuasion." The Muskie-Hughes camp is taking the line that Muskie has lost only two Iowa delegates, State Chairman Clifton Larson of Ames and Democratic National Committeewoman Dag-mar Vidal of Hampton. No Names The McGovern people aren't naming names; that probably will come at an Iowa caucus after the state's delegation arrives here Sunday afternoon.
