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."

U.S. Diplomacy Faces Test As De Gaulle Leads France
man in the chit chat of the
Washington cocktail circuit and
n the hush hush, off-record war
time conferences which the top
civilian and military brass were
orever having with representa
tives of the press.
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.
