- Description:
- Congressman Carl Albert and Senators Kerr and Monroney successfully protested planned reductions in staff at the Talihina Indian hospital in Oklahoma. The Public Health Service agreed to keep 191 employees on payroll, with only a net reduction of 12 positions. The reduction will not affect medical services, and efforts are being made to ensure adequate staffing, including hiring practical nurses and a full-time surgeon.
