At Ford
By SYLVIA MORENO
STERLING, Kan. (UPI) -
President Ford's popularity in
this central Kansas town of
2,300 dropped considerably as
the 1976 election year began
because he refused them a
small favor
Ford declined to let Dr.
Thomas Simpson out of his
Navy commitment so he could
practice in Sterling where the
only other doctor wants to
retire.
"If we can spend money in
New York and Angola, then the
government has time for us in
Sterling," said Annie Wyatt, a
48-year-old housewife who led
the unsuccessful appeal
"I feel anger, disappointment
and frustration. They want our
money don't they’ We’re going
to pay our taxes and that
money is going to go to New
York, isn’t it? And they have
doctors!"
Simpson enlisted in the Navy
in 1971 under the now defunct
Berry Plan - a program which
allowed medical students to
complete their education and
residency in return for two
years service as a Navy
doctor. The plan expired when
the draft ended in 1973.
Simpson finished his residen-
cy at a Wichita, Kan., hospital
Dec. 31 and was ordered to
report to a Navy shipyard
clinic in Portsmouth, N.H., in
early January
Mrs. Wyatt was joined in the
appeals by the town’s Medical
Aspects Committee, Kansas
Gov. Robert Bennett, several
congressmen and finally House
Republican Leader John Rho-
des. After rejections by the
Pentagon and the Secretary of
the Navy Rhodes went to the
White House and was told the
President declined to overrule
the Navy.
Sterling’s physician, Jack
Dysart, 63, has practiced in the
town 34 years Dysart, who has
taken care of the townspeople
by himself since late 1972, said
he cannot cope much longer
with the tension of being solely
responsible for the community's
health.
"The tension at times is
pretty severe. I just don’t have
the old drive," Dysart said.
"Even going to Hutchinson (22
miles away) to see a movie and
have dinner with my wife is
impossible."
Dysart was encouraged when
Simpson, 28, said he wanted to
practice in Sterling after his
Wichita residency Simpson had
helped Dysart every other
weekend the last several
months.
Simpson liked the town and
was positive the Navy did not
need him as much as Sterling,
and especially Dysart, did But
the Navy apparently thought
otherwise
“I’m looking forward to a
two-year vacation," said Simp-
son before he left for New
Hampshire "I’m not going to
work very hard I honestly
don’t believe my services are
needed where I’m going like
they are in Sterling."
Simpson and his wife visited
the Portsmouth out-patient clin-
ic in November Sunpson said
he found at least two doctors
there who were not working
very hard
Because of Simpson’s depar-
ture. the town may also lose its
21-bed hospital
Administrator Richard
McGee has operated the hospi-
tal almost on a day-to-day
