&10NDAY. JUNE 2. 195B HERALD AND NEWS. KLAMATH FALLS. OREGON PACT WINE COMMUNITY HOSPITAL Editor's Nolo This is the fourth a series of articles discussim c need for a community hospital I By BILL DECKER The subject of federal aid in the instruction 01 a new nospnai u, , complex matter. This writer has und that reactions are strong, slither pro or con. among those Vxperienced in the field. First let H$ look at the subject objectively. Jn 1946 the need for new hospi tals in almost every section of the 4Jnited States Cifused Congress to lass the Hospital Survey and Con struction Act. This act has become fcnown since by the names of its Authors and is usually referred to s the Hill Burton Act. The law tills for an annual appropriation Jto be distributed among the states "for the purpose of aiding in the Improvement of hospital facilities. In 1934 the program was en larged to permit federal assistance Jn the construction of other types f facilities pertaining to health ; Annual appropriations since the passage of the act have varied from 6a million dollars to 150 mil lion dollars. To be eligible the facility must fill a community need and be sponsored either by a non profit organization or by a city, county or state. The projects may be completely new construction or .the remodeling or enlarging of existing facilities. Here in Oregon, as in most oth mr states, the Hill-Burton funds are administered by state board of iealth. In a law enacted in the 1955 Legislative Assembly the board was directed to survey the state's existing health and hospi tal facilities and to determine the relative need for new projects. This has been done and the re port has been published as The Oregon State Plan for the Con- truction of Hospitals. Public Health Centers and Medical Facil- ; itlcs." In further action the board fixed 33A4 as the federal participation for all hospital construction. They established June 30 as the final date for filing for grants to be made in the ensuing year. According to the survey Klam ith Falls would be the logical location for a central hospital to serve Klamath County. The exist ing hospital facilities here, while they are slightly under what the ooard feels are necessary in rela ion to our population, are classi fied as "replaceable." In their re port there are three classifications of facilities: Suitable, replace able" and "unsuitable." Since our tacilittes are termed "replaceable" Klamath County's priority for the receipt of available Hill-Burton funds is relatively low. Harry E. Palmer, director of hospital planning and construction for the Oregon State Board of Health, reported to this writer in a letter last December: "It is possible, however, for these beds to be reclassified "un suitable." Somt communities with "replaceable" beds have desired to build a more modern facility incorporating the very latest de sign, services and maximum fire protection and safety features to replace their present hospital. In this case it is possible to reclassi fy the "replaceable" beds to "un suitable. In some instances adop tion of new standards within the state require reclassification to "unsuitable " This changes the priority and makes it possible in many instances to receive Hill - Burton fund assistance. This, of course, is done only after the most careful study." OPEN SEASON st 4 By LUE C. WILSON I'nited Presi International WASHINGTON (UPI Nc survivors o' the World War I! scene in Washington.

We heard a lot about De Gaulle from such men as Gen. George C. Marshall, Adm. Ernest J. King and from President Roosevelt himself. "Explosive, handle with care," was the tag they put on the Frenchman. Marshall and King related sad ly that security around De Gaulle headquarters in London was loose as a sieve. Hence Roosevelt and Prime Minister Winston Churchill ruled against telling De Gaulle in advance about the 19 invasion of North Africa although it was French territory which the Allies planned to storm. Some just called De Gaullt "stuffy" and let it go at that.
