Senator Murray accuses the American Medical Association of propaganda to distort his plan for expanded social security medical care. He cites a National Physicians committee in Chicago as pushing to defeat the bill which would fund general and specialist care with 3 percent wage deductions and 30 days yearly hospital care.

Gallup and Fortune polls cited show mixed public support for the measure. The Physicians Forum of New York urges cabinet-level rank for the surgeon general.
