Health plan reinsurance and new health facility funds proposed
President Eisenhower advocated a health plan with reinsurance and increased federal support for health facilities and personnel. He urged Public Health Service traineeships and a five year grant program for practical nurse training to address doctor and nurse shortages. The plan also promotes private health insurance expansion and government insured loans for new facilities. A separate Agriculture Department report noted farm prices in 1954 generally down 5 percent from 1953, with some crops and hogs earning higher averages per commodity.

Maryland and Delaware Turkey Growers Plan 1955 Cutbacks
Maryland producers expect a 10 percent decline in turkeys raised in 1955 versus 1954, led by fewer light breed birds and a slight drop in heavy breeds. Delaware plans a sharper cutback, mainly in heavier birds, while nationwide totals show an overall 4 percent drop driven by an 11 percent cut in light breeds. Reasons cited include less favorable feed-price relationships and low prices for the 1954 record crop.
