Alter all ,the Forest Service did
not ask Senator Russell to get a (500,000

wanted this scenic highway from tbe

TALMADGE WRITES ABOUT.......
MED. BILL HE PASSED.......
ATLANTA—U.S. Sen. Herman E.
Talmadge, who had a prominent role
in the drafting of the bill setting up
the new medical program for the needy
aged at the last session of Congress,
in which Georgia and other states will
participate on a voluntary basis, gives
an interesting and timely analysis of
die program in the current issue of
the Medical Assn, of Georgia’s Journal.
“Whatever its shortcomings, the sec¬
ond session of the 86th Congress must
be given credit for facing up to the
pressing problem of providing medical
care for the needy aged of the nation
and effecting a realistic solution in
keeping with historic American con¬
cepts of the doctor-patient and federal
state relationships, Talmadge wrote. with the
“Congress came politically-charged, to grips
issue during a post¬
convention meeting. The decisive vote
was taken August 23rd in the Senate
which, when confronted with a clear
cut choice between compulsory health
insurance and a voluntary program of
federal-state assistance, chose the lat¬
ter 51 to 44.
“The bill as signed into law by the
President was essentially that perfected Finance
by the Senate Committee on
and approved by 12 of its 17 members.
It was my privilege, as a member of
that committee, to have a part in the
drafting of the final version of the
measure, which I regard as a signi¬
ficant advance in responsible welfare
legislation and believe will prove to be
both effective and popular when fully
implemented. who always has recognized I
“As one
society’s obligation to provide them¬ for
those who cannot provide for
selves, the question legislation for me was the not subject one
of whether on
should be enacted but rather of what
safeguards it should contain to make
certain that it would not later prove
to be the opening wedge for socialized
medicine in this country.
“In that regard, I determined that
any program which I supported would
have to meet the following criteria:
(1) be voluntary; (2) be limited to the
needy aged; (3) be a federal-state
matching program under state con¬
trol; (4) be financed from general rev¬ (5)
enue rather than a payroll tax;
preserve the right of the patient to
choose his doctor and hospital; (6) de¬
preserve the right of the doctor to
termine his own practice. satisfaction
“It is a source of great
to me that the law which fundamental was passed
embraced all of those
points. That such was the case, despite
election-year pressures to the contrary,
is indictive of the continuing vitality
of the American principles of indivi¬
dual initiative, self-determination and
local self-government.” Sen. Talmadge
The new law, as
pointed out in his article, takes a two¬
pronged approach to solving the prob¬
lems of citizens 65 years of age and
older who are in need of medical as¬
sistance. It amends Title 1 of the So¬
cial Security Act to provide, effective
last October 1, for:
1. Additional matching funds to the
states to establish new or improve ex¬
isting medical care programs for the
2.4-miUion persons presently receiving
Old Age Assistance benefits.
- 2- Federal grants to the states for
payment of part or all of the medical
services of an additional 10 million
aged citizens who are not receiving Old
Age Assistance benefits but who may,
at one time or another, be unable to
pay for medical and hospital care need¬
ed to preserve their health and prolong
they: Georgia’s lives. share of federal aid would
be 80 per cent under is the first phase be of
the program, and expected to
74.36 per cent under the second phase. Ern¬
Taking note of the fact that Gov.
est Vandiver has recommendations appointed a study
committee to make to
him and to the General Assembly as to
Georgia’s participation Talmadge said: in this new pro¬
gram, Sen.

“I FOUND IT”

NOTE—If YOU, too, have found
something that others might like prod¬ to
know about—some extra-quality

hard-to-find merchandise,
Cleveland Courier. We’d like to fill
this column with interesting things.

Did you ever find a place to buy 1
some article or service which gava
you almost perfect satisfaction ini
either price, appearance or results?
These unusual “FINDS” come along
so seldom and yield such pleasure
that they are worth reading about—
or some of them are. They can be a
pair of shoes that fit so perfectly
that over the years you go back to
the same store and merely state tha
manufacturer’s number, pay for them
and walk out; no need to try them
on. THEY FIT, and wear well. Or
it can be a brand of beef from Iowa
that has the tangy steak flavor you’ve
been looking for for years. Or it can
be something in a bottle that you rub
on for this or that minor ailment.
And it might be any one of a dozen
different things — one or more of
which could interest you greatly. SO,
if you’re listening I’ll start telling
you about some of them. Let me know
when to quit!
