Washington sources say HEW will seek legislation requiring doctors and hospitals to publish permanent fee schedules for public view after wage price controls end.

The plan ties to broader National Health Insurance efforts and Kennedy proposals for expanded coverage.

First girl nominated to Naval Academy by Michigan congressman
Valerie Schoen 18, a University of Michigan freshman from Bedford Township, says her nomination to Annapolis began as a joke but now she treats it seriously. Rep. Jack McDonald, R Mich, nominated her, topping a plan by Sen. Javits to nominate a New York girl. Schoen, 5 feet 1 inch, notes height shortfall but argues allowances for women. Her brother inspired the idea and her mother urged letter writing after ROTC acceptance news.
