16. vP) The establishment by President Roosevelt of a "general medical council" of doctors to administer a national health program was proposed today by Dr. Hugh Cabot of the Mayo Clinic, Rochester, Minn. Dr. Cabot told members of the America Public Health association at a preliminary meeting that private charity organizations and the charity work of individual doctors is Insufficient today to meet the demand for medical care which now exists.

He said that under present circumstances physicians levy an "insidious income tax" on persons able to pay for medical care to make up for what they lose in treating charity patients. "If wo are to continue the principle of income taxes levied by gov- i ernment, we must put an end to income taxes levied by professional groups" and pay for medical care honestly through government ap propriations, the stocky little surgeon declared. A general medical council appointed by the President and "having great security of tenure" so that it would not be upset by changes of administration could, he added, regulate a national health program which would insure the maximum amount of medical care to individuals at the minimum cost to federal, state and local governments. Dr. Cabot is vice-chairman of the committee of physicians for the improvement of medical care, the "rebel" group which took issue two yeara ago with the American Medical association over the need for improving health conditions in America.

Its action started the present controversy over a national health program which Is embodied in the health bill now before congress under the sponsorship of Senator Wagner (D) of New York.
