12 New York Counties
Get Chance to Buy
Medical Insurance
For $16.80 a Year
Subscriber's Bill Will
Be Paid Up to $225
By the Associated Press.
UTICA, N. Y., Nov. 24.—Salesmen
readied contracts today for a town
to-town tour of 12 Central New York
counties, largely agricultural, with
medical insurance their ware.
They will operate with sanction
of Medical and Surgical Care, Inc.,
New York State’s first non-profit
medical indemnity corporation,
formed under a 1939 State law, with
headquarters in this industrial city
Of 102,000 population.
Organizers of the group estimate
60,000 subscribers in the Hospital
Plan, Inc., which they have operated
the past three years, will invest in
the medical insurance—offered in a
system designed to function in much
the same manner as that providing
hospital care. Approximately 600
doctors will be enrolled as par
ticipants.
The plan in brief:
A subscriber pays the corporation
$16.80 a year and the corporation
pays his doctor bill for that year up
to $225. An additional $13.80 will
pay bills for the wife and unmarried
dependent children between the
ages of 16 and 18. Dependent chil
dren up to 16 are included for an
additional $8.40 premium. Maximum
bills will be paid for one year for a
subscriber and one dependent, $325;
for three or more persons in a
family, $425.
The corporation will not pay the
first $6 of medical fee incurred by
a subscriber in any one year, or the
fee for the first two calls made by
a doctor in any one year at a place
other than a hospital. A subscriber
may select any doctor, who may
charge the corporation on basis of a
1,017-item illness and accident table
prepared in advance. Enrolled doc
tors must guarantee to support the
plan against contingencies.
Similar plans for other sections
of the State await State Insurance
Department approval. Officials of
the Utica corporation expect the
•ervice to function w'ithin six weeks.
Roosevelt
(Continued From First Page.)
•erve in an advisory capacity when
called upon by the Army and Navy
Munitions Board.
Letter Made Public.
To E. R. Stettinius, jr„ New York
Industrialist, chairman of the board,
and to its members the President
sent letters in which he said the
board's report would be studied
carefully.
A copy of the communications was
made public.
"I feel certain,” the President
wrote, “it (the report) will prove of
material assistance in perfecting our
plans for the national defense.”
The President recalled that the
board was created last August to
assist the Munitions Board in re
viewing and completing an indus
trial mobilization plan, “specifically
for use only in the event of a major
war.”
The President said he concurred
heartily with the concluding para
graph of the war resources report,
which said board members felt pre
paredness plans should be carried
forward under the Munitions Board
with the co-operation of other Gov
ernment agencies.
In the same paragraph the board
offered to continue its services in
an advisory capacity to the Mu
nitions Board. The President ac
cepted the offer.
The President wanted the conflict
in Europe to end, among other rea
sons, so he could spend the usual 10
days or two weeks at the Warm
Springs Infantile Paralysis Founda
tion again next spring.
It was in an informal talk at a
Thanksgiving dinner at the founda
tion last night that Mr. Roosevelt
voiced the offhand hope that by
next spring “there won’t be any
war.”
Even if it still is going on, he
added, he hoped to return, at least
for a few days, to “see how Warm
Spring family is getting on.”
War Statement Recalled.
With a hint of amusement in his
voice, Mr. Roosevelt reminded the
foundation patients and their guests |
that when he left here last April he f
had said he would be back this
fall “if we don’t have a war.”
“Well, we had a war," he went on.
“We have a war today. Columns
were written about what I meant
and I meant just what I said. We
have a war. but I managed to get
down here this fall.”
A hush swept over tne 350 per
sons assembled in the foundation
dining room, followed by a relieved
murmur, when the President made
his next statement.
"You know,” he said, “I’m in favor
of war, I’m very much in favor of
war—the kind of war we've been
conducting here at Warm Springs."
That kind of war, Mr. Roosevelt
continued, is spreading all over the
country. It is a war, he said,j
against the crippling of men and
women and especially children.”
Talks of Foundation's Future.
He reminisced about Warm
Springs and the times when he first
j came here 15 years ago. And he
j talked of the future of the founda
tion.
A discovery has been made at the
institution that human relation
ships are related to science and
medicine, Mr. Roosevelt asserted,
adding:
“That thing that we here call the
spirit of Warm Springs has, I
think, developed into a major factor
in medical science itself.”
There is something mechanical
about some of the best modern hos
pitals, the President said. But while
Warm Springs Foundation is a “me
chanically perfect place,” he said
there was about it in addition a
“general feeling that we are all part
of a family.”
i Another swim in the foundation
pool, a press conference and tne
dedication of a community center
built by W. P. A. for Warm Springs
village were on the Presidential
I program for today. White House
| officials said no callers were ex
! pected.

Hopkins Begins Drive
To Remove Interstate
Trade Barriers
Truitt Heads Committee
To Which Other Agencies
May Name Members
By the Associated Press.
A campaign has been launched
by Secretary of Commerce Hop
kins to seek the removal of barriers
to trade between States.
Secretary Hopkins announped last
night the appointment of Paul T.
Truitt of the Commerce Depart
ment as chairman of a committee
to co-operate with the Council of
State Governments on the problem.
Invitations to appoint representa
tives on it were extended to six
other Federal agencies, including
the Justice Department.
The other agencies invited to
name representatives were the State,
Labor and Agriculture Departments,
the Federal Works Agency and the
National Resources Committee.
Obstacles to trade among the
States were said to Include such
matters as differing taxes, licenses
and regulations on motor trucks,
plant and live-stock quarantines at
State borders and gasoline-taxing
ports at State boundaries.
No Federal legislation is contem
plated at present, and Secretary
Hopkins said in a statement that co
ordination in State and Federal laws
would be sought to “permit a free
flow of commerce consistent with
such regulatory functions as are
necessary.”
Mr. Truitt said the first step might
be a broad investigation by the
Federal Monopoly Committee, and
added that he would confer with
Senator OMahoney, Democrat, of
Wyoming, the committee chairman,
to seek that group’s aid.
Secretary Hopkins said in his
statement that the various Federal
agencies had been interested in the
problem for years, and that he hoped
they could accomplish something if
they worked together through a co
ordinating committe such as the one
he named.
Mr. Truitt said the problem Is
most serious in the case of trucks
whose routes cross State lines. A
truck driver often must buy separate
licenses in several States. At State
boundaries trucks also are frequent
ly stopped to pay taxes on their ton
nage, the gasoline brought from
other States, to be inspected for
lights, for weight and for carrying
diseased plants.
