Medical Society Prepares for War With Legislature without substantial structural change, the SMS underwent a major reorganization to set up the Physicians Alliance, a political action arm to protect the socio-economic interests of state physicians. Funded at about $400,000 per year through a hefty dues increase, the Physicians Alliance will engage in activities ranging from grassroots politicizing of physicians to lobbying for pro-doctor bills in the Legislature. According to SMS executive director Earl Thayer, there are about 300 bills brought before the Wisconsin Legislature each year which deal in some way with health care. And, he says, creation of the Physicians Alliance makes Wisconsin the first state to establish a strong, firm, aggressive program to protect the interests of physicians. According to Czerwinski, an aggressive program to protect the interests of physicians is the last thing the state needs.

If the alliance Is rfmpiy to maintain the states qna, it will be deing disservice, he said. Until a few years ago medical bills were written by doctors and simply ratified by the Legislature; theyre not used to being questioned," Czerwinski maintained. I look at the alliance as a natural response. Bat the medical system has become quite a bnrden, and it has become an issoe af public interest versas private interest. Theres no question about Czerwinski said, the stage is set Another legislator who is likely to find himself in conflict with the Physicians Alliance is State Rep.

Peter Tropman, a Milwaukee Democrat who has served on both the Joint Finance Committee and the Assembly Health and Social Services Committee. Ninety-five per cent of the bills to somehow regulate medicine don't pass, asserted Tropman, bnt doctors think the government is doing things to their profession. I don't think doctors are getting screwed by government. Government programs are providing doctors with a great deal of cash. There's $50 million to $80 million paid in medical assistance in Wisconsin per year." Tropman said doctors believe the bubble will never burst.

that consumer health costs and physician incomes will just keep rising. But burst it must, says Tropman. More sympathetic toward the Physicians Alliance is State Sen. Carl Continued on Page 4, Col I By MIKE DORGAN Of Tkt Capital Tunas Staff The State Medical Society is gearing up for what the chairman of the Assembly Health and Social Services Committee says is certain to be a knock-down, drag-out fight. Thereyno question, said Rep.

Joseph 'Czerwinski in a recent interview, the stage is set. Specifically mentioned by the Milwaukee Democrat as issues to watch in the next legislative session are fee rate review and certificate of need, both of which are strongly opposed, by organized medicine. But those are only two of dozens of health-related issues over which a newly structured meidical society is expected to do battle with a newly critical Legislature. Underpinning the particular issues is the growing conflict between medical consumers, who have become increasingly critical of both the costs and quality of health care, and organized medicine, which tends to view government involvement in health care as unwarranted meddling. The concern of doctors is indicated by the fact that, after nearly 40 years WEATHER Clear, cool tonight, chance frost in low areas.

138 MADISON, Monday, May 24, 1976 'i'INAI. 150 Ford Fiek Up Uncommitted New York Support Will Fix His Lead Before the New York switchover, Reagan had 541 delegates and Ford 598. On the Democratic side, United Auto Workers President Leonard Woodcock said in Milwaukee that the Democratic National Convention may have no choice but to select Jimmy Carter as its nominee for president. I dont see how the convention can say, Move over, buster, we're taking over, Woodcock said at a news conference here over the weekend. He predicted that the former Georgia governor would arrive at the convention with pledges for up to 1,250 of the 1,505 delegate votes needed for the nomination.

The latest figures indicate that Carter is favored by 741 of the 1,983 delegates chosen to date. Woodcock, who endorsed Carter before the Michigan presidential primary May 18, said that if the delegate projections prove true, any person nominated instead of Carter would be a weak candidate. From Wirt Sorvicet WASHINGTON President Ford has jumped back into the lead over Ronald Reagan in convention delegates, and the expected infusion of previously uncommitted New York delegates today creates a secure enough lead to withstand any gains Regan is likely to make in Tuesdays six primaries. The good news for the President came when he picked up some 88 of Pennsylvanias uncommitteds Saturday; the New York state delegation second hugest at the convention reconsiders its uncommitted status today. There were 151 uncommitted Republican delegates chosen in New Yorks April primary.

Reagan got three delegates then and added 15 more last week. Ford stands to gain as many as 124 of the rest today. The move by the Pennsylvanians and New Yorkers was timed to add momentum to Ford's doubleheader win last week in Michigan and Maryland, and to shore up his total before Tuesdays primaries. New York State GOP Chairman Richard Rosenbaum with a little help from his friend, Vice President Nelson Rockefeller decided it was time to take a stand for the President, who has been trailing in delegates since early May. Of the six primaries Tuesday in Idaho, Kentucky, Nevada, Oregon, Tennessee and Arkansas, not one can be called sure states for Ford.

Observers say hell be lucky to capture two of the six unless his newly regained momentum is greater than expected. The six states have a total of 176 GOP delegates and Fords most optimistic strategists expected the President would win no more than half of those.

Wilkie, chief justice since 1974, died unexpectedly Sunday in suburban Pittsburgh while visiting a daughter. Wilkie, 59, had been on the high court since 1962. Beilfuss praised Wilkie as a great leader in court reform." He did a great deal to improve the administration of justice in the trial courts as well as this court, said Beilfuss. He wrote some of the outstanding opinions in this court throughout the years.

He will be greatly missed throughout the state, he added. Justice Nathan Heffernan, who administered the oath of office, said the court was "shocked by the loss of Wilkie. Gov. Patrick Lucey hailed Wilkie's work, particularly the commitment for court reform. The best way to honor Wilkie would be to work for those reforms, the governor said at the ceremony.

Lucey said the state and its system of justice will feel the loss of Justice Wilkie.

John Gronouski, a former Wisconsin tax commissioner named as special master to oversee racial integration of the citys public schools, said the administrations plan results from intensive effort over a 9V4-mohth period and deserves to be tried.

He said the plan deserves a fair trial, but he added that I have net included in my recommendations the back-up involuntary assignment plan far the 1976-77 schoel year advanced by cennsel hr plaintiffs during the May 12-15 hearing. Reynolds issued the integration order at the end of January in a suit brought on behalf of several students. He found that previous school district policies led to illegal segregation, and he ordered that the school district develop and implement a desegregation plan. Gronouski also presented a voluntary teacher integration plan which has been proposed by the Milwaukee Teachers Education Association for at least the 1976-77 school year. The MTEA proposed that the plan rely on voluntary transfers of teachers, retirements and promotions and bring about racial integration over a period of years.

Like Kefauver, the former Georgia governor has done well in the presidential primaries. In 1952, Sen. Kefauver defeated President Harry S. Truman and the party organization in the New Hampshire primary. In 1976, Gov.

Carter buried Big Labor and the old-style machines in the Pennsylvania primary. Like Kefauver, he is running against the Washington Establishment.

Carter has indirectly linked the Washington Establishment to (Continued on Page 3, Col THE FOLLOWING provocative commentary on the primary campaign comes from Professor John Steinke: YOUR COLUMNS certainly demonstrate that Carters candidacy threatens the Washington Establishment. By running against Washington, D.C., Carter is actually campaigning against a large segment of the Democratic party, those politicians with a vested interest in the system that was created over the past 40 years.

Thus, Carter is threatening the basic interests of the Washington Democratic Establishment.
