the vast garden could symbolize what he called the "grossly unfair disadvantage" under which doctors are working to present their side of the care for the aged argument.
"We doctors fear that the American public is in danger og being blitzed, brainwashed and bandwagoned into swallowing the idea that the King-Anderson bill is the only proposal, the only program that offers medical care for the aged," Annis said.
Pros and Cons
He argued in favor of the Kerr-

The AMA contends that the Kerr-Mills act has not been given a chance to work, but could prove a tremendous supplement to the voluntary plans, which it says have grown so much as to be "one of the greatest social advances of our generation."

Mills act to finance medical aid to the needy aged, which has been adopted in 38 states.
"IT WORKS WHEREVER responsible public leaders want it to work," the Miami surgeon said.
Annis denied that doctors oppose the Kennedy program because it would lower their fees. He contended:
"Doctors would probably make more money, not less, under King- Anderson...our fees are not involved! Our practice of quality medicine is."
not; whether they want it or not." "The American taxpayer...has a right to question the free ride those who do not need these benefits would be taking at the expense of his children," Annis said.
Yet, he said, putting medical assistance under Social Security would leave out 3 million persons over 65 who are not eligible for social security.
Annis argued that of the 17 million Americans over age 65, 53 per cent or 9 million already are covered by some form of voluntary health insurance or pre-payment plan.
But, he added, the bill would cover the well-to-do and the comfortable "whether they need it or
Annis argued that the King-Anderson bill would leave the aged ill with a hospital bill, cover only partially the cost of drugs, not pay the doctor bill and limit the treatment.
Carruth-O'Leary Residents Must Vote Again on MRA
"This bill would put the government smack into your hospitals," he said, "defining services, setting standards, establishing committees, calling for reports, deciding who gets in and who gets out, what they get and what they don't, even getting into the teaching of medicine — and all the time imposing a federally administered financial budget on our houses of mercy and healing...
"It will lower the quality and availability of hospital services throughout our country. It will stand between the patient and his doctor. And it will serve as the forerunner of a different system of medicine for all Americans."
The residents of Carruth-O'Leary must vote again on the proposed constitution for a Men's Residence Association. The votes last night exceeded the number of men in the hall.
Tonight, each voter must have his name checked off a list before voting.
If the constitution is ratified, each hall will elect one representative per 100 men for the MRA. Half of these representatives will only hold office for one semester. With this election procedure, a group of new representatives will work with a group of experienced representatives.
There is a question about how successful this organization will be because of the failure of the old MRA. George Meyers, Oak Park, Ill., junior and chairman of the group which drew up the constitution, said:
"The old MRA was too powerful and the dorms were not ready to give up their judicial council."
He said he was in favor of the organization because he felt the independent men need to work as a whole rather than as individual groups.
"I would like to see the group do such things as raising our social fund, seeking better representation in the Jayhawker, and composing a better brochure," Meyers said.
The president and social and intramural chairman of each hall have met informally this year to discuss common problems. They presented the constitution to the halls May 1.
