TO GET SVRHLl'S
WASHINGTON - Rural hospitals
and health centers can look for a
major share of the hundreds of m il­
lions' of dollars of medical equip­
ment to be released by the army
and the navy. A policy has Anally
been worked out at the surplus prop­
erty board to assure release of this
material for public health use, Arst
in areas that have no existing facili­
ties, second in areas which have in­
sufficient facilities. So great is the
need of rural and small-town hos­
pitals and clinics that there will be
little equipment left for replacement.
This policy was achieved only aft­
er a long and bitter dispute between
the surplus property board and Dr.
Morris Fishbein. editor of the Jour­
nal of the American Medical Asso­
ciation. Fishbein. in whose journal
advertise the largest makers of med­
ical equipment, had urged that this
vast volume of surplus material not

ties in order not to upset the market
for manufacturers of medical goods. 1
In addition. Fishbein insisted that
huge quantities of certain supplies. !
such as bandages, could not be used
because they differed somewhat 1
from accepted standard sizes.
However, in a lengthy session at
the office of U. S Surgeon General
Thomas Parran, Dr. Fishbein Anal­
ly was won over and even agreed to
serve on the overall board which will
recomm«id on the disposal of med­
ical supplies.
Three types of equipment will be
distributed—public health supplies,
surgical and therapeutic instru­
ments, and pharmaceuticals.
A
board of public officials and physi- ■
cians headed by Dr. Parran will rec­
ommend their allocation to Federal
Security Chairman Paul McNutt,
who will work through the surplus
property board. Actual allocation of
the supplies within the states will
rest with state boards to be com­
posed of various federal government
and state medical officials.
Note — Federal officials are
worried lest the state boards be­
come a weak link in the setup.
They fear that, in areas of great­
est need, state groups will not
be anxious to aid in the equip­
ping of Negro clinics and hos­
pitals. Therefore, an effort will
be made to work out rigid re­
quirements in Washington. No

Stalin, but his doctor forbade It.
Davies was slated for the Moscow

trip because he is the only U. S.
ambassador since the United States
recognized Russia who has been
welcome at the Kremlin. This was
primarily due to Joe’s book, “Mis­
sion to Moscow” and the Aim by
the same name, which gave a sym­
pathetic portrayal of Soviet prog­
ress. Therefore, it was planned to
have him impress on Stalin that re­
cent diplomatic snarls had alienat­
ed American public opinion.
When Davies was unable to go to
Moscow, it was decided that Harry
Hopkins should do the job instead;
while Davies would go to London
and urge Churchill to stop needling
Russia.
This latter job is considered al­
most as important as the Hopkins
trip to Moscow. For several White
House advisers are convinced that
