would be held on March 5th
and that on April 1, 1961 the

services from tlie health insur-
I
ance plan.

with the government.
However the Japan Medical

and to withdraw from the
health insurance plan in tlie
event that the government fails
to give prompt and just con-
sideration to the problems of
the Japanese doctors.
