Closer State and Federal
Co-operation to Be Sought
at 34th Session.
By the Associated Press.
A method of achieving a more
elosely geared co-operation between the
Federal Government and the States
In raising public health standards will
be sought this week at a meeting of
State and Public Health Service offi
cials.
r The occasion will be the thirty
fourth annual conference of State and
territorial health officers with officials
of the Public Health Service, but the
relations between the two agencies
have changed greatly since that first
meeting in 1902.
Public health work was still in Its
infancy then. It has grown vastly
since. The meeting tomorrow and
Tuesday will be given over largely to
a consideration of how best results
can be obtained from the spending of
$8,000,000 a year that has been au
thorized for public health work under
the social security act.
Already $3,333,000 has been allo
cated among the States to set the ex
panded work going. This will carry
them through until the beginning of
the next fiscal year July 1. The allo
cations are required under the act to
be made according to population of
the States, their special health prob
lems and financial needs.
But in obtaining the allocations, the
States have to comply with rigid re
quirements laid down by the Public
Health Service.
In the forthcoming meeting most of
one day will be devoted to general dis
cussions of work under the social se
curity program, but another full day
will be given over to consideration of
the special problems of dealing with
social diseases and improving indus
trial hygiene standards.
The meeting will open tomorrow
at 9 am. with talks by Secretary
Morgenthau and the new surgeon
general. Thomas Parran, jr. Sessions
will be held in the auditorium of the
Health Service Building at Nineteenth
street and Constitution avenue.
Officials said that one of the aims
of the work under the nev fund was
doing away with the inequality of
health service given citizens in dif
ferent communities. One official said
the reason for this was:
"Lack of adequate State and local
services for organized health protec
tion.
•‘Lack of appreciation and under
standing on the part of citizens of
the measures necessary to preserve
and promote individual health.
“Lack of ability of citizens and
communities unaided to secure needed
preventive services.”
The money supplied by the Federal
Government is being used for three
purposes. These are to:
Aid State and Territorial health
departments in strengthening the
service divisions and in providing
adequate facilities for the promotion
and administrative guidance of full
time city, county and district health
service.
Aid States and Territories in de
veloping city, county and district
health departments.
Help train public health personnel.
High standards have been laid down
for the State and Territorial health
departments, local health depart
ments and for training personnel.
Unless these standards are adhered
to, the money may be withheld from
the States.
The meeting will provide the first
opportunity for an analysis of the
operations of the act that the health
workers have had since the money
became available.
Officials said they expected a com
plete representation of State health
officers at the meeting.

Directors Recommend Re
search Units in All Coun
tries After Parley.
Numerous recommendations lor the
betterment of health and living condi
tions in all American countries were
made at the close yesterday of the
third Pan-American Conference of
National Directors of Health.
Important among the recommenda
tions is the proposal to create re
search centers separate from, but sub
ordinate to, the departments of health.
Services would be co-ordinated as
nearly as practicable and should In
clude the needs of both urban and
rural populations, it was said.
It was proposed that definite per
centages of general revenues be al
located to health work and that the
revenues so allocated be approximately
$1 per capita in United States cur
rency.
Other recommendations included:
Campaigns for the prevention of
accidents, better working conditions,
especially with respect to light and
ventilation in industry; further de
velopment of free maternal and child
welfare centers, special attention to
the education of women, special
studies of life in high altitudes, as
recommended by Dr. Carlos Monge
of Peru; that studies be made for co
operative action between producing
and consuming countries with regard
to cocaine, and that special attention
be given to the eradication of social
and contagious diseases.
