Scope and Contents

The text includes a letter from Congressman James R. Jones regarding the construction of a new Indian hospital in Claremore, Oklahoma. Mr. Butler disagrees with the idea of building special hospitals for Indians and believes they should have access to the same facilities as everyone else. Another letter to the editor suggests implementing a Medicare program for Indians instead of building a new hospital. The director of the Claremore Hospital argues for one comprehensive facility for all patients, rather than favoring treatment for Indians.
