By the Associated Press, A broad survey to arm sclence with new facts in its fight against disease will be launched tomorrow by the Public Health Service. The investigation, to be financed with $3,400,000 of work progress funds and carried on in 10 States, also will gather data on the manner in which $ickwess cripples the Nation's workers financially. ‘With headquarters at Detroit, the administrative staff will assemble to- morrow to map the program under which an average of 3,500 workers will conduct a house-to-house “health inventory” of 750,000 families. Work Begins October 15. Enumerators will begin their calls | in 95 cities and towns October 15, checking the prevalance of such ail- ments as heart diseases, rheumatism, | diabetes, cancer and digestive disturb- | ances and their effect on unemploy- ment. Communicable diseases. and physical disabilities also will Dbe studied. Outlining the vast project, Miss Josephine Roche, Assistant Secretary | of the Treasury in charge of public | health, said that “as a financial in- vestment, nothing gives a quicker re- | turn, nor one more out of praponlon} to the amount of money laid out than a wise expenditure for public health, i “Earlier and more restricted sur- veys than the one now on foot have indicated & tremendous economic waste due to sickness throughout the | country. $2,400,000,000 Yearly Loss. “Experts tell us that the annual sickness cost in families with $2,500 a year income or less is approximately $2,400,000,000—o0f which, staggering sum, $900,000,000, represents wage loss and $1,500,000,000 goes for medical | care. “Much of this waste is avoidable, | but to avoid it we must know the causes.” Information collected will be made available to Federal, State and other | public health agencies, Miss Roche gaid, adding that the work of can- vassing will extend from October 15 to about April 1 next year. States in which the inventory will be corducted are Massachusetts, New York, Ohio, New Jersey, Pennsyl- vania, Maryland, Virginia, Georgia, Alabama, Louisiana, Texas, Missouri, | Illinois, Michigan, Minnesota, Oregon, Washington, Utah and California.
