The nation's family doctors Tuesday, Nov. 29 emphatically endorsed the idea embodied in a recent citizen's commission report on health care that "medicine exists to serve society." The president of the American Academy of Genera Practice gave the family doctor group's affirmation to the servile concept of the report of the Citizen's Commission on Graduate Medical Education in a statement to the delegates considering the report at an American Medical Association convention being held this, week in Las Vegas, Nev. Dr. Carroll L Witter, of. Louisville, Ky., is head of the, 30,000member, Kansas City-based Academy is the largest of the groups representing segments of American medicine and is second in size only to the all-doctor AMA. The Citizen's Commission, known informally as the Millis Commission after lb chairman, Dr. John Millis of Western Reserve University, issued its report tills fall after three years of study of the state of medical practice, and medical education today. Its central theme holds that a revitalization of comprehensive medical care for the Amerlcan people is needed and that tins requires production of large numbers of what it - calls "primary" physicians to render comprehensive are. Dr. Witten told AMA delegates that the Mints Report's concept that medicine must serve the peoole "has been the cynosure of the American Academy of General Practice since the day of its founding 18 years ago." He said that 'the Academy applauds the Citizens. Commission for the emphasis placed on this basic principle throughout its epoch-making report." In a statement, Dr. Witten noted that while "the Commission's recommendations possess significance for the profession of medicine, they are of vastly greater significance to the consumers of health services ... the people." He quoted from the report. "It is time for decisive action to increase greatly the number of physicians who will devote their, professional careers to the highly competent provision of comprehensive and continuing medical service." He added that the report called upon medical schools and teaching hospitals "to assume responsibility for preparing many more physicians than now exist who will have the desire and qualification to render comprehensive, continuing health service." Dr. Witten cited the Fillis Report's recognition that there is a body of knowledge on which to base training programs for comprehensive rare and stated tint the American Academy of General Practice has described this knowledge in a document entitled 'The Core Content of Family Medicine." "We believe, this do ument," be continued, "will provide the basis for developing educational prograins needed to produce physicians skilled in clinical and behavioral aspects of continuing, comprehensive health care." Referring to the Millis Report's recommendation that a certifying (specialty) board "for the new specialist in comprehensive or primary medicine" be established, the Academy president told delegates that the Academy, too, "has recommendded and is working for establishment of a pilnnry (vrtuymj board in family practice demy's term for comprehensive practice." He added t the Addemy is pleased that the Millis epert recommends this certifying board. The move for a certifying board in comprehensive medicine also was supported in a report to be sutmitted by the AMA Council on Medical Education to the House committee on Education for Family Practice.

New Sizing System To Reduce Overhead In Shoe Retail Testing of a new sizing system for men's shoes that could reduce Inventories and ultimately save shoe manufacturers and retailers as much as $16.6 million a year is recommended by a study released today by the Economic Development Administration, U. S. Department of Commerce. The four-part study into opportunities for increasing markets and employment in the shoe industry was conducted for EDA by the Bat telle Memorial Institute, Columbus, Ohio, other key recommendations: —Manufacturers should attempt to penetrate foreign markets by forming a foreign trade mission and organizing a cooperative to use proved Ameriecan merchandising techniques abroad. —Manufacturers and retailers should cooperate in using scientific control and electronic data processing methods to control inventories where economically justified. —Manufacturers should cooperate in developing an industry-wide research program to make the most of new materials and techniques, and industry associations should take the lead in establishing a United States shoe technical-information center. The large number of shoe-size widths is a major contributing factor to the industry's high inventory investment in comparison to profits. The study notes that the annual costs of carrying inventory often exceed net profits for individual manufacturers. Tan Topics by Social Security Sticks To Policy On Medicare Form The Social Securiy Administration said Monday it has no intention of budging from its insistence that a doctor sign a certification for when he puts a Medicare patient in the hospital. It does not make much difference what kind of form is used, so ions as it shows that the doctor approves of admission of the patient, a spokesman for Social Security said. Actually, there has been little complaint over this requirement in the Medicare law, said Charlotte Scerennan, a spokesman for the federal agency. The American Medical Association which bitterly fought Medicare legislation before it was enacted, has "bent over backwards to be cooperative with us and with hospitals," she said. However, a handful of doctors in Lancaster and Mount Vernon, Ohio, have balked at signing the Certification forms for hospital patients. The patients were admitted to the hospitals but because of their doctors' refusal to sign the forms, the Lancaster-Fairfield Hospital has not been able to collect about $60,000 in federal medicare payments. "Certainly the situation in these towns it not indicative of the Medicare profession generally," Miss Crenna said. She said as soon as the Lancaster area doctors sign the certification forms, the Medicare funds will be released to the hospital. She said an earlier dispute over the certification requirement was settled at Muncie, Ind., several months ago. Ga. Indigent Tenant Defense Rights Go To Supreme Court The U. S. Supreme Court was recently asked to review the constitutionality of those statutes of the State of Georgia which prevent indigent tenants from making a defense against eviction orders because of their inability to post bond in order to obtain a hearing. The petition was filed by attorneys for the NAACP Legal Defense and Educational Fund, inc. (LDF) on behalf of two indigent Negroes residing in Atlanta, Georgia, who were unable to defend an eviction order solely on the basis of their poverty. The LDF attorneys, in filing the barred the petitioners from a hearing because of their poverty is in conflict with the principles declared by this court, and is unconstitutional under the equal protection and due process clauses of the fourteenth amendment." The brief also raised an important constitutional issue in the developing field of the Law of Poverty, and in a particularly crucial area of that field, landlord -tenant law. More specifically, the brief pointed out that the "existence of summary eviction procedures, in which there is a substantial economic obstacle preventing a tenant from contesting eviction, places an enormous amount of arbitrary power in the hands of the landlord." These 'arbitrary powers,' the lawyers assert, may be easily used in retaliation by landlords against those tenants who choose, to complain about any housing code violation to the authorities. In such an event, the lawyers argue, "many tenants will be intimidated into suffering quietly." Under the existing statutes of the State of Georgia; a warrant for tenant's removal can be obtained by a landlord who goes before a judge of the superior court and files an affidavit. The tenant may contest the evicton order by tiling t counter affidavit provided he posts a bond with substantial security as a pre-condition to making any defense. It is estimated that roughly 1400 eviction proceedings are brought each month by landlords in Atlanta, of which less than 1 percent are contested. Besides Georgia, there are seven other states in the U. S., with similar (but not identical) statutes, which require substantial security before permitting a tenant to defend against eviction orders. This is one of the first cases in the LDF's new program of litigation to protect and establish the rights of poor people. The LDF has become involved in cases seeking to make precedent of poverty law questions just as it has done over the years in, civil rights cases. LDF attorneys filing the petition are Director - Counsel Jack Greenberg, James M. Nabrit III, Charles H, Jones, Jr., and Charles Stephen Ralston of New York, and Howard Moore, Jr., of Atlanta. *The LDF is a separate, independent organization, from the NAACP. The names are similar because the LDF was established as a different organization by the NAACP and through the years has gained complete autonomy. Increase Proposed For Fire Insurance Comptroller General James L. Bentley announced Friday that the Georgia inspection and Rating Bureau has filed a proposed fire insurance rate increase with the Georgia Insurance Department. There will be a public hearing on the proposed rate increase at 9:30 a. m., January 4, 1967 in room 341 at the State Capitol, Bently said. The proposed rate increases apply to fire insurance and extended coverage insurance. The Georgia Inspection, and Rating Bureau represents roughly 90 percent of the fire insurance companies operating in Georgia. The detailed filing for a rate increase will be available for public inspection in room 125 at the State Capitol beginning on December 8. 1966, between the hours of 8:15 and 4:30 p. m., Bentley said. "We think it is in the public interest to hold a public hearing on these proposed rate increases. Anyone interested is invited to attend this hearing the first week in Jan.," Bentley commented. The fire insurance companies represented by the Georgia Inspection and Rating Bureau account for approximately 30 million dollars in irisurance premiums annually, Bentley said. The proposed rate increase asks a roughly 7.5 per cent boost in these rates plus a 50 dollar deductible provision on individual dwelling insurance, The total amount of premium increase involved for the Georgia companies represented by the bureau would be approximately $2.5 million. Per capita spending for education by state - local government is estimated to grow from 150 in 1965 to $244 in 1975; for highways, same basis, from $63 to $76; for welfare, from. $33 to $79.

All drug stores. COMMENDED by PARENTS Union Ordered To Process Negro Members Grievances An order handed down by the U. S. Court of Appeals sitting in New Orleans requiring a local union to process racial discrimination grievances of Negro members has been hailed as "an historic advance in the struggle for economic equality," by Robert L. Carter, general counsel of the National, Association for the Advancement of Colored People. The Court's decision stems from a complaint filed in October, 1962, with the National Labor Relations Board by NAACP attorneys on behelf of eight Negro members of Local 12 of the United Rubbed Workers at the Gadsden, Ala., plant of the Goodyear Tire and Rubber Company. The union, the Negro members charged, refused to process their grievances alleging racial discrimination in hiring, promotion and use of company facilities. An NLRB ruling sustained the NAACP complaint. The union subsequently appealed the Board's ruling to the U. S. Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals which upheld the Board's ruling. "This decision represents a giant step forward in the NAACP's struggle to obtain racial justice in the field of labor relations," Mr. Carter said following announcement of the Court's decision on Nov. 14. "By this decision," he asserted; "all union officers are bound under the National Labor Relations Act to treat Negro members fairly, or subject themselves to possible jail sentences. "All cases of racial discrimination against employees in industrial plants will now be processed before the Board because the courts will no longer have jurisdiction over them. This means Negroes, will have access to the free services of the Board rather than the costly and more tedious procedures of the courts." The Court's decision establishes the rights of Negro employees in a plant to be treated fairly by labor unions. The NAACP reports that although it had previously won discrimination cases against unions, they were on behalf of non-union members. In this case, the issue of "fair treatment" is placed squarely on the basis of race rather than mere non-membership.

() The statemen which was published by the press on November 14 coming from the Catholic Bis shop or the United States on the subject, "Government and Birth Control" is in our view completely unfounded in so far as its references to coercion on the part of government or government aiaded agencies waking, in the field or family planning is concerned. It is most unfortunce that it should be issued at a time like this when concern across the world is growing daily with regard to the deng which a burgeoning population brent. It is obvious that appeal to improved agricultural methods for a more adequate food supple is not a solution to the population, problem. The only solutions that are reasonable for dealink with the problem are in the area of family planning birth and ferti control. The United Presbyterian Church almost every year since 1959 has stated its position unequivaca pronouncements and the recommmmendations of the General Assembly which is its highest court. I should like to call some of these to your attention. The 171st General Assembly in 1959 declared: "Planned parenthood —-Reconizing that, in the wisdom of God Christian marriage is a relationship Of love and fidelity which involves Both companionship and parentHood; and. "Believing that the sexual life within this relationship is given by God for the benefit of his children, and is neither an ethically neutral agent of human existence nor an evil which needs to be justified by something else, as for example, by the procreation, of children. "The 171st General Assembly: "Approves the principle of voluntaty family planning and responsible parenthood; "Affirms that the proper use of medically approved contraceptives may contribute to the spiritual educational, and economic welfare of the family: "Urges the repeal of laws prohibiting the availability of contraceptives and information about. for use within the marriage relationship." In 1962 the 174th General Assemuly reaffirmed the statement made by and the 171st General Assembly and urged in addition: That the General Assembly, through its appropriate agencies urge our Government to as it with which we cooperate in economic development and technical assistance and which seek our help in this matter, to develop programs of responsible family growth. "That the General Assembly through every possible means urge the United Nations and its agencies to assist countries seeking help in this matter, to develop programs of responsible family planning and conception control in dealing with the problem of rapid population expansion."
