NATION'S HEALTH "~ GAUSES DISPUTE Public Service and Hospital Fund, However, Agree on Need for Medical Charity. ° By the Assoclated Press. | An exchange of statements has left | the Public Health Service and the| United Hospital Pund of New York still at variance over the depression’s effects | on_the Nation's health. | Differing widely on whether the sta- tistics actually show a depleted state, they agree, however, that more medical charity will be needed during the com-. ing Winter. The dispute started when Su. Gen. Hugh S. Cumming, queried by President Hoover, wrote & reassuring report of “no general adverse effect on health and mortality rates” He based his conclusion on reports recefved at his | office, ~*i=; particularly 13 States with 43,000,000 population, Y 1 The statement was challenged by the | United Hospitel Fund, which pro- claimed “little doubt in local medical circles as to adverse effect of hard times on the public health.” | Homer Wickenden, fund director, cited a survey of 141 hospitals in New York City, “showing an sbnormal and progressing increase in hospital cases Cconcurrent with the period of depres- | sion.” 5 decried “optimistic! generaliza- | tions” as tending to “divert financial support from hospitals” and.to “create & false sense of security” in the public. Cumming replied with a -reiteration of his statement of apparent normalcy in putwc health reports to date and emphasized that he had sald no pre- diction could be made cn “possible con- dition of the public health in the next year or so.” & The surgeon general conceded the increased number of persons applying to hospitals in New York City and at- tributed it to “individuals who pre- viously would have been able to go to private physicians, now finding it nec- essary to fall back on free hospital service.” However, he promised further surveys | which “should throw additional light on the matter.” 13 6.
