"Uh --- Perhaps We Should Have A Consultation" 01F4A I T sgIF IE us CIA r*f Irv TODAY AND TOMORROW: NewMeasureFavors Econom Cooperation By WALTER LIPPMAN WITH ITS IMPRESSIVE vote on the trade bill, the House has made a far-reaching contribution to peace and prosperity. The bill should now go through the Senate without crippling amendments, and the country will then have equipped itself to deal with coming events in Europe. It is now fairly certain that M. Jean Monnet and the friends of an enlarged and liberal Common Market are prevailing over the advo- cates of an exclusive and restrictive Franco-German Europe. The aspects have become good that the Six will come to terms with Great Britain. If so, we shall in the not too distant future be negotiating A WEDNESDAY, JULY 4, 1962 NIGHT EDITOR: PHILIP SUTIN Doctors Raise Controversy Over Ethics, Health Plans LIKE THE staunch autoworker or Teamster local, the Saskatchewan College of Surgeons have struck to back their demands. They are as militant as the UAW or the Teamsters but their strike does not merely affect the econom- ic system - it deals with life itself. Already one baby girl died when she could not get immediate aid. However, it is not clear whether the strike was the cause or a compli- cating factor in her death. What the doctors are willing to sacrifice their usual dedication to practice to their "freedom". Under the socialized medicine scheme, the first far-reaching system in North America, all medical services, except drugs, dental work, eye glasses, diagnosis and treatment of cancer and hospitalization would be covered under the compulsory scheme. Hospital costs are covered by a separate pre-existing government hospit- alization plan and cancer detection and treat- ment is handled by another governmental unit. The program is financed by taxes and personal premiums. THIS IS NOT the issue in dispute, however. The doctors are protesting the compulsory treatment features of the plan which allow the Medical Care Insurance Commission to prescribe the terms and conditions of services which the doctor may provide and also the plan's declaration that the government must side with the patients in all legal disputes. The government contends the doctors are opposed to the plan because it might limit fees. So far negotiations between the two disputing parties have yielded no results and Saskatche- wan citizens are depending on emergency clin- ics for medical attention. The dispute raises several serious implica- tions both on the future of government spon- sored medical aid in the United States and Canada and on the right to strike. The results of the government-doctor nego- tiations may set the pattern for government medical aid throughout North America. The Saskatchewan doctors are not challenging the basic principles of governmental medical aid. Rather they are attacking the operation of the plan. THIS MARKS a major divergence from both American and Canadian Medical Associa- tion stands which are opposed to government aid for reasons beyond the potential limitations on medical practice. This acceptance marks the erosion by time of opposition to govern- nmental medical aid. All that seems necessary today is to set up an operational scheme ac- ceptable to all parties. In a startling way, this process is occurring in Saskatchewan. The Saskatchewan plan is more stringent than the British medical scheme. The British system allows doctors to maintain outside prac- tices and does not put as many demands on them. It is more an insurance-hospitalization plan than governmentally operated medicine. The British system is mode adjusted to the personal nature of the doctor-patient relation- ship than potential bureaucratic standard set- ting of the Saskatchewan plan. By permitting private practice, it also encourages the ele- ment of individual choice, especially in special- ized areas, while it assures universal medical care . Between the extremes of Saskatchewan plans and American medical "rugged individualism" the two parties to the strike must set a bal- ance. Coverage must be maintained, yet at the same time the doctor's professional freedom should be assured. The manner that the doc- tors and government solve this dilemma will be studied carefully by an interested United States and Canada and may spread through- out both countries. THE SECOND ISSUE is fundamentally ide- ological - do doctors and others in areas highly important to the public welfare have the right to strike? As long as they do not abandon the public welfare, they do. By setting up emer- gency clinics and placing part of their number on emergency duty the doctors have tried to meet their, public obligations while pursuing their private interests. This question often occurs in dealings with public officials, but the doctors strike puts it into sharp focus for there is nothing to compel the doctors to practice in Saskatchewan. In their field, as in civil service, the public wel- fare is the main goal of the profession. Yet, in a broader sense, public welfare cannot be achieved unless accommodations for all are made. Also, the public welfare cannot be main- tained if groups or individuals are arbitrarily barred from exercising their basic civil liber- ties including the right to strike. As long as the public welfare is maintained through emergency clinics, in this case, there is no good reason to bar the doctors and others in similar jobs from striking. The unusual doctors' strike will have the ef- fect of sharpening the dispute on both the med- former case, the strike's,,solution may lead the ical care and right-to-strike issues. In the care, but in the latter case old cliches about way toward extended governmental medical public service will obscure the issue. -PHILIP SUTIN n1 4 ti pit r S : 1 th 1*y _ .K 1 r! T r 1 I - H j-tz1 s- c DC NEW BUDGET REQUESTS* Study Year-Round Operation Governors Take a Holiday FROLICKING THEIR WAY through the, an- nual governors' conference, this time in Hershey, Pa., the heads of the various states are soberly pondering the issues of the day with that atmosphere of dedication and team- w'rk rare in contemporary politics. Consider, for instance, this dialogue, culled ;- n the Associated Press: Gov. Nelson Rockefeller (R-New York) prom- is d a strong civil rights resolution, which would acknowledge equal rights regardless of race, creed or color, in housing, employment, public accommodations and education. A MOTION to defeat this proposal was itself beaten down, 31-13. Next, our own John B. Swainson concocted a !nger and stronger amendment, which he 7'med would better express the consensus of ,h ;overnors. By this time, however, Southern representa- tiv s had become more than a little perturbed. Ernest Hollings of South Carolina rose, com- High Strategy SERE IS NOTHING as fascinating as good, Communist dialectic. To many Americans, the Administration's vague stand on Quemoy -to defend it or not-might create an im- pression of uncertainty. But the Chinese news agency knows otherwise: "Any thoughtful person can see," it begins, "that United States imperialism wishes to kill two birds with one stone. It calculates that if (the supposed Chiang invasion) should succeed, United States imperialism would be able to set up a bridgehead on China's mainland ... and also spread the armed forces of Chiang thin and aggravate its financial difficulties so that it would have to be even more obedient to United States imperialism. "Conversely, if the adventure should fail, then with the strength of the Chiang gang greatly reduced, United States imperialism would be able the more easily to attain the aim it has been pursuing for many years, namely, the realization of its plot of 'two Chinas,' by kicking out Chiang Kai-shek and using a new puppet to take over Taiwan." In other words, no matter what the United States does, it can't lose. Clearly, Mao's public plained that the Rockefeller and Swainson amendments violated a gentlemen's agreement made previously to adopt a milder stand, and threatened to filibuster. If the conference per- sists in considering such matters, he said, "you may put in jeopardy the future attendance of some governors." BUFORD ELLINGTON of Tennessee, who voted last year for a similar civil rights resolution, added he was "getting tired of hav- ing to restate my position." Whereupon Ray Keyser of Vermont tried to get unanimous consent to bypass the resolu- tion and proceed to other matters. Elmer An- derson of Minnesota objected. Then John Notte of Rhode Island tried to force Hollings to stand at the rostrum, instead of speaking while seated in a chair. Chairman Welsey Powell of New Hampshire ruled against Notte. MARK HATFIELD of Oregon inquired if there was any rule permitting unlimited debate. Powell said there was no rule limiting debate. Pat Brown of California asked how long Hollings would be allowed to continue. Powell hoped that in this matter "the rule of reason will reply." Brown tried to interrupt again. Powell gavel- led him down. "The governor of South Carolina will proceed." "Thank you, Mr. Chairman," Hollings said. "That's a good rule of reason," he said, and said, and said .. . THIS SORT OF BYPLAY of course makes the processes of government and the gov- ernors look ludicrous. Besides this scintillating debate, the governors managed to reaffirm their support of God in the face of the recent Supreme Court ruling, and also failed to pass a resolution to abolish resolutions. The value of the conference appears to be about zero. Instead of its potential as a com- mon meeting ground to discuss mutual prob- lems and concerns, with perhaps new and better ideas for action governmental emerging, the convention is nothing more than a carnival and a handy spot for ambitious governors to secure a few promises for support for their congressional or presidential aspirations. Instead of engaging in meaningful discussion, the delegates wallow in fruitless resolutions By GERALD STORCH At the gentle but uncompromis- ing hint of legislators, the Univer- sity finds itself this summer mak- ing the final plans for conversion into year-round operation. Already committed, harried ad- ministrators must decide how many students and faculty mem- bers would attend an expanded third term, which units and de- partments could actually go on trimester, and exactly how much year-round operation would cost- and all this has to be figured out by fall. For as soon as the administra- tors complete making allocations for the 1962-63 budget (approved just last Friday by the Regents), they will have to start planning the '63-64 requested budget. Since budget requests are 'tra- ditionally submitted to the State Legislature sometime in October, there will be little time between the completion of the coming aca- demic year's budget and the month of October. * * * AND when the administrators finally emerge from the mass of data and factors tied up with tri- mester plans, they may very well find that the University will have to postpone, or junk completely, the proposed year-round opera- tion, because the financial, facul- ty and student participation and department restructuring prob- lems appear at this time to be al- most insurmountable. The chief stumbling block, as usual, is the Legislature. It was widely speculated in campus cir- cles that the economy-minded legislators, striving to spend money more efficiently, practically forced the University into a full- year calendar. It is this self-same body, how- ever, that may squelch trimester prospects. An expanded operation itself will need more money - at least $1 million, in all probabil- ity - and in view of the Legisla- ture's insufficient revenues and reluctance to part with same, it may be hopeless for administra- tors to get the extra funds neces- sary. THIS year, for instance,- the Re- gents sharply raised tuition rates, deriving around $1.9 million by this move. But in spite of prior of- fers by legislators to match any increase from tuition, and in spite of another concession by the Uni- versity to limit out-of-state enroll- ment, the Legislature could come up with only ab$36.7 million ap- propriation, about $1.3 million higher than last year's. The extra money will be allot- ted to raise faculty and staff sal- aries, and provide much-needed funds for the libraries. These needs will not diminish in the years to come; they will probably multiply. Hence, it seems futile to expect that the Legislature next year will be able to grant the cus- tomary $1.5 million or so increase, plus another $1 million to finance year-round operation. There is alsora slight catch in just who is going to attend the summer session in lieu of a fall or spring term. This predicament could be easily solved, of course, if the administrators made all- year attendance mandatory, or else offered required courses only in the summer. But these methods are obviously too stern. * * * AT PRESENT, about 12,000 stu- dents are attending the summer session. Most are graduate stu- dents, with commitments either to research contracts or to fami- lies. Any increase in summer en- rollment will have to come from the undergraduate level. With jobs or a desire to get away from school predominant, however,, many undergraduates simply would not want to partici- pate in the expanded summer term. Theoretically, they could at- tend the summer session, then leave the campus during the fall or spring semesters, but in prac- tice jobs and pleasure are restrict- ed mainly to summer., And there is the question of which faculty ' members would teach a summer session. It is im- possible for instructors to work three conseuctive semesters; it was tried in World War II and didn't succeed. To solve this di- lemma, the summer session would be split into halves, each with complete courses. Nevertheless, faculty members would have to be away during either one of the split sessions, thus diluting the quality of the material offered. EVEN if the University somehow were to get enough money and student and faculty participation, another crucial problem would re- main in a full-year operation, as academic departments and schools would have considerable difficulty in adjustment. Courses would have to be refitted into a semester sev- eral weeks shorter, thus sacrific- ing thoroughness and perspicacity. Physical problems would abound. How would a small school like the social work school or ar- chitecture and design college pos- sibly expand its offerings to cover three full terms? How would the education school, with its facili- ties in conventionally-scheduled University High School, align its time arrangements? If a trimester really would benefit a large sec- tion such as the literary college or engineering college, why wasn't the move made before-especially since the Medical School, for one, is already functioning year- round? But, in spite of all these prob- lems, work is being done anyway to prepare for trimester. Deans are busy compiling figures on how the problems of instruction in such a system would be solved. Surveys to determine student opinion are being planned. And soon the administrators will be- gin their agonizing study of the situation. Somehow, one gets the feeling that all these labors will be for naught. for a low tariff trading area com- prising in various arrangements the non-Communist world. * * * IT IS probable that this creat- ive movement in the Western world will acquire a momentum which will soon carry the trans- Atlantic partnership to a critical problem which will have to be solved in the near future. It will have to be solved if the enlarged trading arrangements are to work. The expanding . world economy must have a more stable and a more adequate world currency. In order to do away with the chronic exchange troubles which now plague sterling and the dol- lar, there will have to be some kind of international reserve sys- tem which does for the world economy what our own Federal Reserve System does for our own national economy. It has been increasingly evident that the gold withdrawals and the so-called vulnerability of the dol- lar are an international problem which could not be solved, even theoretically, by the United States alone. This is not a new discovery. It was foreseen by financial ex- perts during the war. M. Monnet and his colleagues have been at work on it for a long time, and there is already in ex- istence highly effective common action by the central banks to regulate gold movements. There is also discussion in Europe and in Washington which looks for- ward to the pooling of the mone- tary reserves of the Common Mar- ket and from there on to an ar- rangement with the United States. * * * WE SHOULD begin now to pre- pare our minds for the effort of solving the international monetary problem. For while the skilled co- operation of the central bankers is dampening, down speculative attacks against the dollar, there is no use hiding it from ourselves that in the financial markets of the world the dollar is regarded as vulnerable. Between 1949 and 1960 foreign gold reserves and dollar holdings had risen some $27 billion, and of that amount the United States contributed more than $21 billion in the form of gold withdrawals and short term liabilities con- verted into gold. THE OPERATION to redistribute gold has had to come to an end because under the rules of the game as, for good but transient reasons, we chose to play it, it is a one-way street. Anyone, except an American citizen, who has American dollars can convert them into gold. The dollar is not vulnerable be- cause President Eisenhower and President Kennedy, jointly or sev- erally, are less virtuous and re- sponsible than they should be. The dollar is vulnerable because we are attempting to operate uni- laterally a gold exchange standard for the whole non-Communist world. The time has come to share the burden by agreeing on a multi- lateral gold exchange standard. There is a need to put an end and there is an opportunity to put an end to the chronic exchange troubles inLondon and New York -with the overhanging threats of international deflation, or of ex- change control, or of emergency restrictive tariffs, or of devalua- tion. There is no imminent threat of any of these disasters. But be- cause these disasters are not ex- cluded by formal and public in- stitutional measures-such as an international reserve system-we are entering what promises to be a period of greatly expanding world trade and of economic growth with unsteady nerves and with diminished confidence. (c) 1962, New York Herald Tribune, Inc. STANLEY QUARTET: Gentle 'Prussian' THE PROBLEM with a concert, as with any performance, is to bring all the good things together at once. For most of last night's concert in Rackham Auditorium the Stanley Quartet fell just slightly short of this goal. But there were enough scattered goodies around t make their re- turn after a year's absence more than just slightly welcome. It is a strange vicissitude of happenstance naming that Mo- zart's Quartet in D, K. 575,should be called Prussian; for this is one of the gentlest, quietest quartets we know. Three of the movements are marked allegretto, even. This is as much a state of mind as a tempo indication, and K. 575 is allegretto all the way -'and so were three of the performers. To these ears Mr. Ross's tone was so much more controlled than we re- call. It was as though he were playing a different instrument. Mr. Rosseels was every bit his equal. FOR THE 'cello of Mr. Jelinek we have nought but admiration. "Tough but oh so gentle" comes to mind, for he provides a firm bass when that is his role and richly singing melodies projected through the other instruments when they come his way with never a touch of stridency to mar his tone. The varieties of his pizzicato are a summer festival. The only flaw in this work was the viola, which Mr. Courte could not seem to keep from scratching. The recalcitrant instrument was finally tamed for the next work, Quartet No. 4 by Walter Piston. The performance was very nearly definitive. But the definiendum was scarcely worth the trouble. THE PIECE has more substance than much Piston, but it remains a musicianly exercise more than a composition. The first movement is the most interesting. It is a so- nata in which the first subject is a kind of musical fog from which the main theme gradually emerges. At the recapitulation the theme reappears, clearly visible through the fog, a novel touch. The slow movement is lovely, reminiscent of the arch movements of Bartok, but this is frightened Bartok. How different the third move- ment of the Brahms Quartet in B flat, Opus 67, which closed the program. Here, using the simplest means, such as the viola ringing clearly against muted violins and 'cello pizzicato, the composer has wrought fantastic subtlety and va- riety of color. -J.
