Sacred Heart Lay
Board to Request
Kill-Burton Funds
Architects Told to
Proceed With Plans
The lay board of directors
of Sacred Heart hospital Fri
day voted to apply for Hill
Burton funds for construction
of a new 81 -bed hospital on
Crater Lake ave. approxi
mately 300 feet south of its
intersection with McAnrirews
rd.
The directors said they
wanted to qualify for the fed
eral matching money this year
to help finance the construc
tion next year. "We feel there
will be a tremendous incre
ment of hospital building in
Oregon in 1963. We must get
going and establish priority in
Hill-Burton funds in 1962," a
spokesman said.
The board authorized Med
ford architects Edson and
Pappas to proceed "immedi
ately" on plans for the new
building for the 18-acre site.
Deadline for the building start
is July 1, 1963.
Spoki Briefly
Edson and Pappas have
been working with Medical.'
Planning Associates, of Bev
erly Hills, Calif., in laying the
groundwork for the plans.
James Moore, president of the
planning firm, spoke briefly
on what the firm hopes to ac
complish here and what it has
accomplished for other hospi
tals throughout 'the United
States.
Approval for purchase of
the property was received ear
ly in March from the Sisters
of Charity of Providence from
Mother General Phillip de
Cesaree in Montreal, the Or
der's headquarters. The plan
ning company representative
selected the Crater Lake ave.
site.
In 1960 "it was announced
that the hospital would close
after nearly 50 years of opera
tion. Following a re-study- ofc
the hospital's situation and
potential by the Order it was
decided in November, 1960, to
keep the hospital open. At
that time the fourth floor and
maternity department were
rlosed and a foundation was
set up to receive donations for
the construction of a new
building.
Widespread Support
After I h e announcement
that the hospital would close,
widespread support for the
continuation of two hospitals
in Medford was received from
throughout t h e community,
both from individuals and the
medical profession.
It was stated at that time
that even with the Rogue Val
ley hospital addition, if Sa
cred Heart hospital were to
close, the number of beds
would not exceed those now
available. Also cited was the
continuing growth of the com
munity as indicated by the
census figures.
The present hospital has an
RO-bed capacity, according to
Bert Thierolf. board chair
man. In 1960 an inspection by
the state tire marshal gave
the hospital a "clean bill of
health." The entire structure
is covered by a sprinkler sys
tem. Saturday Night Baseball

Kennedy Predicts
Medical Care Bill

Remarks Made to

Washington -iUPP - President
Kennedy predicted Saturday
that his embattled medical
care proposal would be voted
into law next year for sure if
Congress fails to approve it
this year.
Continuing h i s personal
campaign to whip up public
and congressional support, he
said his plan to provide medi

posed the ways of progress."
Supports Proposal
The Chief Executive made
the remarks at the White
House to a delegation from
the National Council of Sen
ior Citizens, a new group
which supports his proposal.
Dr. Arthur Larson, a for-
i mer oflicial of the Eisenhow
er administration, told the
founding convention of the
council later that the Ameri
can Medical Association
should "accept the inevitable"
and throw its support behind
Kennedy's program.
"1 believe," the President
said, "that we are going to be
successful. We have very good
prospects this year. But if not
this year, then certainly next,
year."
The Chief Executive, who
will be 45 years old next Wed

at claims by the AMA that '

He said the Social Security i
concept was the "only truly I
American approach to the j
problem." '
Larson, now director of the.

. Being Looked Into
Centerville, Iowa - fllPD -Federal
and airline investi
gators said Saturday night
there is mounting evidence
that a bomb tore apart a
Continental Airlines jet liner,
sending 45 persons crashing
to their deaths.
The FBI joined air detec
tives from the Civil Aero
nautics Board (CAB) and
Continental in a painstaking
search for the evidence which
could determine why the $5
million Boeing 707 jet ex
ploded in the skies over
southern Iowa Tuesday night
and spun into a valley in
northern Missouri.
The FBI investigation cen
tered immediately on the trav
el patterns of the 37 passen
gers who boarded the "Gold

field on a flight to Los An- '
geles. .
Within Aircraft
Continental spokesmen at
airlines headquarters in Den
ver said investigation by their
experts Indicated "a man
made explosive had been set
off within the aircraft."
A highly-placed source at
Centerville, where the federal
Investigation was headquar
tered, told United Press In
ternational "as practical peo
ple we can only assume it
was a bomb."
W. Mark Felt, agent in
charge of the Kansas City,
Mo., FBI bureau said "a sub
stantial ; number of agents"
had" gathered in this southern
Iowa community to help Din
down the cause-of the crash
and to identify the perpetra
tors' of any sabotage.
It appered the FBI inves
tigation might stretch from
one end of the nation' to the
other before the case finally
Is closed.
Both the CAB and the FBI
said they would have no fur
ther word last night on what
touched off the explosion
which ripped the "Golden
Jet." ..
Following the Continental
and CAB announcements, in
terest and Investigation cen
tered immediately on the pas

liner and on the insurance
policies which the passengers
had taken out before the
flight began.
