Federal lead urged to curb tuberculosis nationwide
Washington May 12 The National Association for the Study and Prevention of Tuberculosis discussed federal control of the tuberculosis problem urging payment to states or communities for caring for nonresident indigent consumptives. Speakers highlighted the need for a division of tuberculosis in the Public Health Service and praised Germany’s handling of TB through sanatoria. A $100,000 gift from Metropolitan Life Insurance Co was announced to fund a three year community test in a town of about 5,000 to prove TB can be controlled with proper methods and resources.
