OFFICIAL SILENCE
MEDICAL BENEFITS STATEMENT NEXT WEEK (By Telegraph.—Press Association) WELLINGTON, Friday There is complete silence in official sources on the progress of the medical service under the Social Security Act.

The reason for this "blanket” instruction is stated to be that the statements made by the district health officers were considered in official circles to be unsatisfactory from the departmental viewpoint and the department proposes to make a statement in the near future covering the position to date.
