Editor Kevin Kious Jeff Kious Business Adviser Mel Adams General Manager and News Adviser Rick Muster Controls on hospital costs rejected WASHINGTON AP) - President Jimmy Carter's plan to put federal controls on hospital cost increases will be approved by the House Commerce Committee approved legislation setting only voluntary goals for hospitals, without the enforcement measures to assure those On June 7, pressing for approval of the bill, Carter had said the legislators faced the most important anti-inflation decision of this congressional session. The House vote was 22-12 to remove proposed federal controls from the legislation. The panel then approved the legislation 15-12. Joseph A. Califano Jr., secretary of health, education and welfare, immediately attacked the bill, calling it a sham. For over a year, Carter had urged Congress to move quickly to contain high medical bills, which he said rose to $66 billion last year. He had originally proposed a 9 percent lid on fee increases, a plan that ran into trouble in Congress. PHYSICIANS AND the American Hospital Association vigorously lobbied for months against any federal intervention that might affect their billing practices. In Chicago, Robert B. Hunter, chairman of the board of the American Medical Association, hailed the House Committee's action. "The American Medical Association is pleased to learn that the efforts of the private sector through the voluntary effort and other cost-consciousness programs has been recognized by Congress," he said. On July 7, health industry leaders, saying their voluntary effort was working, said hospital costs rose 12.7 percent during the first four months of this year, compared with 15.6 percent in the same period last year. Acme Dry Cleaners, Inc. Rep. Paul G. Rogers, D-Dla, chairman of the health subcommittee, argued that leaving cost containment to hospitals "gutted" the bill. 3 convenient locations Hillcrest Downtown The Malls 843.0895 BUT REP. James T. Browhill, R-N.C., offered the amendment that eliminated the proposed federal controls, denied allegations that nothing worthwhile was left in office. "There is a very serious effort under way on the part of the hospitals to contain costs." Broyhill said. "Already it is showing success, you will encourage hospitals to continue." Califano charged that Broyhill would impose a $26 billion tax on Americans. That is how much Carter's original bill would have cost the states over the next five years. Califano said. Rogers said that the House Ways and Means Committee could still recommend a hospital cost containment bill that would retain federal controls. c 5 7 5 5 5 5 5 MOSCOW (AP)—A Soviet judge rulered yesterday that two U.S. newspaper reporters had crudely slandered Soviet television and ordered them to print a retraction within five days and pay all court costs.

Gam-sakurdia's testimony disputed articles written by Whitney and Piper, quoting the 1974 confession as saying the confession was fabricated. Piper said in an interview in Washington, "Gamakurdhairdr he meant his conference to be a history inaccurate because we didn't ask it was fake—we just reported that a lot of people were so used to him."
