30 COURIER-FREEMAN, POTSDAM, N. Y., Thursday, (Sept. 29,1966
SENATOR JACOB K. JAVITS («., N.Y.J
FROM WASHINGTON
In the year since medicare law, t h e Federal
government has been taking a long, h a r d look a t t h e
facilities which we have available for health care.
The picture has not been reassuring. We find t h a t we
have an acute shortage of hospitals, of n u r s i n g
homes and of doctors, nurses, technicians, and other
health personnel.
While I applaud the efforts
of many in the Federal government, and many fine voluntary, non-profit hospitals, and
institutions in New York to
remedy these situations, I
view with alarm the possibility
of a medical services crisis in
this country.
Yet, both the Administration
and the Congress have failed
to push for new, needed measures and to use those already
available to head off this crisis. Both the Administration
and the Congress have failed
in these responsibilities.
Not one single new health
bill has been enacted into law
this year. The pigeon - holes
of the Congress are filled with
constructive proposals for hospital modernization, for training health manpower, for
health planning and health
services in the States, for
consumer protection in health
and for the war on the nation's
fourth greatest health problem, alcoholism.
Our big city hospitals, for
example, are growing more
obsolete by the day with overcrowded and outdated facilities and equipment taking
their toll. Each year 13,000
more hospital beds are added
to the current backlog of 260,000 general hospital beds —
one-third of our national hospital resource — requiring
modernization or replacement.
Yet, an ambitious 10 year, $10
billion program for Federal
aid for hospital modernization
lies neglected in committee
after one day of hearings last
April. And even this proposal
is short of the need.
The nurse shortage continues acute. A 1962 Public
Health Service report indicated the nation would need 300,000 new nurses by 1970. Some
legislation helpful to meet this
need has already been enacted. Yet, present estimates indicate that even if all the
nursing school construction
now authorized by law is com-

drew 476 volunteers in February, while a one-day clinic at
The State University College
at Potsdam brought in 249 givers last May.
The need for volunteers this
year is greater than ever, according to David E. Garner,
chairman of the Potsdam Community Blood Program steering committee, due to the drain
on Red Cross national blood
supplies by the war in Viet
Nam, and the need to maintain an adequate supply for
local use.
Garner cites the efforts of
many people working behind
the scenes as being largely responsible for the success of
previous clinics held in Potsdam. Members of the steering
committee—who meet throughout the year to stay abreast of
the community's needs and
plan details of local clinics;
representatives of the two colleges in Potsdam, both of
which host a clinic on campus;
public spirited volunteers who
assist Red Cross personnel at
clinics and assist the steering
committee prior to the day of
the event; doctors and nurses,
who donate their time to help
where needed; and the Marsh
Women's Relief Corps, a public spirited group who staff
the canteens set up at each
clinic; these are the people
credited with being the backbone of the local program.
No one residing or studying
in our area need pay for blood
should the occasion ever present itself where it is needed.
This comforting fact will continue if our residents and students continue to come through
as they have in the past.

Dinner Speaker
is James Barry
As a result of a conflict in
plans due to Saturday's religious observance, the scheduled speaker at a Democratic
dinner held in Potsdam, candidate for Lieutenant-Governor
Howard Samuels of Canandai
gua, was not able to attend
his place as main speaker
being taken by the Member of
the Assembly from Northern
Onondaga County, James Barry, who is also Mayor ofj
North Syracuse.
Barry attacked the campaign strategy of the Rocke
feller group, citing the claims
of "bossism" as being far
more characteristic of the Republican convention than that
of the Democrats and pointing
out that last year both Democratic houses of the legislature had voted for a direct primary. This was vetoed by
Rockefeller because of his
fears of the results, asserted
Barry.
He stressed the need for
hard work in preparation for
the coming election, and emphasized the contributions to
be made by women's groups,
Enrollment figures unfavorable to the Democrats indicate
the need for extra zeal and effort, according to Barry, and
he commended the Democratic officials present on
their accomplishments in the
face of great odds, and stressed that people of their calibre
are needed in Albany.
Also present were the coun
ty candidates for the positions
of Member of the Assembly.
County Clerk, and Sheriff. The
candidate for the Assembly,
Francis G. Healey of Potsdam, attacked the claims
made by the Rockefeller administration regarding its accomplishments in the fields of
education, labor, aid to farmers, and minimum wages.
Healey pointed out that
favorable legislation in many
of these areas, although passed by the Democrats, was voted down by the Republicans
or even vetoed by the Governor himself. Healey stressed
that a trend is developing
which may lead to the creation of super-governments,
and a loss of local control. He
feels that this is harmful to
the interests of the people,
and if elected, would oppose
this trend.
