! Local Medical Unit
 To Assist Campaign
Elimination of Free Clinical Service for Those Who Can Afford to Pay More Advocated

Members of the Waterbury Medl- cal associatoin which in common with other medical groups through out the country has been engaged in a prolonged study of the econ
 omic problems with which the profession is faced as a result Of the depression, were interested to- day in the announcement of a na- tionai campaign based on a far reaching economic and social prob lem.
 Sponsored by the Physicians
 Equity Association of America, Inc,
 an organization. of 1,4OO New York
 doctors, the membership drive is designed to reacn every medical as- |sociation in the country. Members of the local medical group said that no information had yet been
 received here relative to the cam paign but expressed the opinion
 that Waterbury association would
 probably be Interested. One of the outstanding features of the set of principles outlined
 by the New. York group calls for
 the elimination of free clinical
 service for patients who can af- ford to pay more for exact medi. cal attentoin. This particular sub- ject has been minutely studied here, and has resulted in de-
 crease in the abuse of clinical ser- vice.
 Prior to the study conducted by the Waterbury group, the percent. age of clinical cases ran as high
 as 75 per cent of all babies born
 in the city, 8 member of the as- sociation said to-day. Following
 recommendations of a committee
 appointed to investigate the situa- tfon, the number has been re-
 duced to slightly more than 40 per cent.
 Other points advocated by the
 New York association are:
 "The assurance of reasonable
 compensation to the physician for
 every service rendered. "The introduction of bills in state legislatures to correct abuses now
 rampant in the practice and regu- latoin of medical, surgical and
 other conditions affecting public health.
 "The opposing of such legisla-. ton as tends to legalize the ir. regular practitioner. "The protection of the public by removing from the profession all
 unqualified headers. 'The creation on both sides of | a clearer economic situation be- tween patient and doctor"

HERE'S A LAUGH

THERE can't be very much wrong with the
country as long as The time-honored
American fondness for undignifled horseplay
continues undated.
The people of Seattle seem to have discov-
ered a way to give this taste free rein; and
although the antics which result may pain
the sophisticated, they bespeak a bubblng-
over Of good spirits and a general, all-round
hilarity and honestly vulgar gusto which in
dicate pretty good state of health.
Probably you have already seen announce
ment of plans for the Put Out the Cat Derby"
which is to be held presently in Seattle
park If you have not, the plans are worth
reprinting here.
Fifty beds will be set up in the park, each
bed occupied by a gentleman wearing night
shirt and clutching a cat to his bosom. At
a given signal the men will leap from their
beds, sprint 70 yards, and heave the bewil-
dered felines out of the park-the winner, no
doubt, reaping vast glory
Then there will be a rolling pin relay for
housewives. Fifty of these estimable crea-
lures clad in pajamas, viii race with rolling
pins and Mayor Charles L. Smith of Seattle
warns that under no circumstances will the
women be allowed to hurl the rolling pins at
their husbands
As a wind-up, there will be an iceman'S
gallop, in which icemen will race with So
pound blocks of ice on their shoulders-the
winner to be rewarded with a kiss from an
attractive young woman, selected in advance.
Now all this is the ridiculous sort of foolery
that used to get pilloried so mercilessly in
the Americana" column of the American
Mercury, and that brings such deep pain and
disgust to the hearts Of dignifed folk.
Yet there is something so distinctively
American about it, something so youthful and
refreshing, that one is glad to see it happen
ing
People who indulge in larks of this kind
make fools of themselves of course. But
what the dignifed critics of these affairs fail
to realize is that the participants make fools
of themselves knowingly, and as long as
man is willing to make fool of himself to
provide a little fun, there is hope for him.
It is the preternaturally serious and long
faced gentleman who is in a bad way. Once
YOU lose the capacity for shedding your dig
nifty and enjoying rowdy horseplay, you be-
gin to commit the great sin of taking yourself
and your ideas too seriously, and when you
do that, there is little hope for you anywhere.
nation that can turn out and have fun
with silly stunts like this Put Out the Cat
Derby" is still under the protection of that
most saving of all graces-a sense of fun and
a willingness 70 laugh at itself.

Initiation and Disaster

ernments is absurd and so is Mr..
PowellS proof.
Then also an attack by Ruth
Finney proves without a doubt
that initiation does not work. Why,
it was tried in 1890 by a colony-a
colony, mind you, with stable
government without resources of
any kind. Then our Continental
Congress tried it in 1881. A dollar
was worth 2 cents. Both are cases
of imitation by very doubtful
government and one without re-
sources. No one would take O.
mortgage on a farm unless they
first ascertained the validity Of
the title and the value Of the ]Snd.
Why don't you cite other good
examples, Mr.. Powell, like Russian
imitation after the revolution or
Villas printing press money Of
Mexico? They are both good eX-
amples of why imitation would
work in countries that have no
stability.
You wouldn't dare print any eX-
ample of controlled initiation in
countries Of vast resources with
strong, powerful secure govern
ments, would you?
We have no occasion for I'M
controlled imitation in this coun-
try. We will probably have it one
Of these times, however, maneu-
vered by the money changers just
to prove to we ignorant ones that
any kind of imitation is disastrous.

CHANCE FOR THE INDIAN

TINE western Indian, who built up his en-
tire culture before the white man came on
the presence of vast buffalo herds. may shortly
get a chance to revive the old-time ways on
the same basis.
John Collier, Commissioner of Indian
Affairs, has authorized the layng-out OF buff
falo ranges on the Pine Ridge and Grow reser-
yations in South Dakota.
This is to be done as part of new wild life
and conservation program for Indian reserva-
tons, and it IS expected to play valuable
part in rebuilding Indian morale and self
respect.
In many ways the idea has much to COM
mend it. Once Indian independence was de-
stroyed our government tried TO make the In
dian fit into white civilization. The effort has
not been crowned with very much success;
it might be much wiser to return, as far as
possible TO old conditions and give the Indian
a chance to develop along his own lines.

THE PRESIDENT STRIKES BACK

CERTAIN political tricksters have been busy
- with a whispering campaign. They have
been saying in a knowing but somewhat
hushed and mysterious way that it would be
all right with Roosevelt" to pass the Patman
printing press bill over his prospective veto.
and TO let the NRA die slow death. They
said the Presidents opposition to these blows
at the New Deal were mere gestures in a
smart game Of politics"
Yesterday Mr.. Roosevelt nailed all that.
Through his secretary he stated that he
was not interested in the political expedience
OF the matter. declared emphatically that he
would veto the Patman bill and ser5 it back
10 Congress with a sincere appeal not 70 start
the nation down the printing press route.
With members Of the National Industrial
Recovery Board. he reafarmed his vow to fight
70 the finish 10 strength NRA and 10 extend it
two more years. This was his reply 10 the
Senste's bill, which was so obviously designed
TO cripple NRA and give it nine months TO
expire.
BY calling these two turns, the President
proves not only that he Is a more honest, but
q much wiser. politician than the so-called
Senate leaders who started the false whispers
of White House hypocrisy 10 cover up their
own double-croSs Of the Administrators re-
coyery program.

by the house to the Senate bill. Labor should
be protected not only from employer coercion,
but also from unfair practices by union Off

political discrimination as a condition Of mem

BACK TO GERMANY

IT is nothing less than startling to learn that
l. the government OF the Union Of South
Africa wants to see Germany's former African
colonies restored TO German ownership. Yet
this, apparently. is the case; and with it
comes the news that the South Africans
prefer the German colonial system to the
French.
France uses her vast African possessions as
a military reservoir. and trains thousands Of
blacks for her army. This makes the South
Africans nervous-for Africa. after al, con-
tains only couple of million white men. and
anywhere from I0O.OOO.OOO to 100000 black
men. and there is always the chance that the
latter. if drilled and armed for modern war,
viii get up some day and push the whites into
the sea, regardless OF nationality.
It would be a queer twist to history If ra-
cial fears should cancel one Of the chief
products of the World War and restore to
Germany her former colonies.

ROOSEVELT LEADING Us
TO BETTER TIMES

BY c. C..
I am a reader Of The Times and
enjoy your editorials very much.
Also I admire the way in which your
paper defends our wonderful Presi-
dent.
Franklin Roosevelt is the greatest
man of today. 1t is disgusting TO
read the radical letters sent IN to
your paper criticizing him so IN
justly.
I believe the President to be a
great humanitarian, in sympathy
with the poor. or underprivileged as
he calls the masses.
The burden Of lifting this country
out of the wreckage in which the
Republicans left it seems too ~reat
a task for any man. 1t in spite Of
the radical criticism he is receiving
from greedy -centered politicians
the ungrateful poor OF this nation
who have been helped. and the
illiterate foreign element. he IS
leading US out Of the dreadful black
depression left US by Eoover and his
Administration. into better times for
us all.
