WASHINGTON, Dec. 30.-In
the background of the current
trust-busting suit against the
American Medical Association
and its Washington affiliate is a
common human problem, long
disregarded in the main.
1t is the desire of Mr.. Average
John Jupes to be able to:
Have daughter Martha's eyes
examined and fitted with glasses.
Find out for sure the meaning
of that pain in his side.
Look for the next baby with
love instead of dread.
To have all this without fear
of Furnishing doctor bills.
The medical profession in re-
cent years has made progress to-
ward this with group hospitaliza-
ton and various semi-charitable
clinics to which low income
groups have access.
But average John Jupes came
in between. He was not rich
enough to laugh at doctor bills.
not poor enough to feel comfort
able about going to public clinics.
In Washington, leaders in the
profession recognized this gap
and recommended that their fell
lows work out pooling or pre-
payment system for middle and
low income groups which would
give them a more comfortable
feeling about medical bills.

Neville Chamberlain summarized

Reichsfuchrer Hitler help himself

Both sides drew their guns. Prop

Britain supposedly stood behind

MANY INQUIRIES
ABOUT KEY WEST

TON DURING LAST FEW
DAYS

''T'he amazing thing about the
situation in Key West is that
spirit of friendly cooperation
from many quarters evidenced
from various parts of the coun-
try" said Secretary Singleton at
the Chamber of Commerce this
morning. IF the people of Key
West could have any idea of each
days mail, they would realize
that a very busy future awaits
this city"
There has been carried on one
of these cordial contact CORE
spondences with the Travel Bu-
reau of the Philadelphia Record
for some time, and the results are
beginning to bear fruit.
From that office there has
been received the names of las
people who have, within the last
few days, inquired for informa-
ton on the subject of an automo-
bile trip to Key West, and this
letter promises another list of
$50 more in day or two.
From correspondence with other
papers it is evident that this is
not an isolated case, but it is the
Philadelphia Record which has
sent the names and addresses of
the more than 100 people who
will, within the next day or two,
receive copy of the second edi-
ton of the welcome to Key
West" which is now being print

PeriLs of Drug
Addiction
By MARY PADGETT

Most drug addicts come from
the high school group, accord
ing to w. Roy Breg, execu'
tive secretary of Allied Youth,
who spoke yesterday on the
Parent Teacher Radio Forum
of the National Congress OF
Parents and Teachers. .
These weekly broadcasts con-
tinue the general tn e me,
youth in a Modern Com
munity," initiated by the ma
tional congress early last fall.
In answer to the question OF
how to solve the present evil
of the sale of narcotics to chill
dren in high school, Mr.. Breg
advocated three rules: Federal
laws to help the State punish
the vendor; through education
Of high school pupils IN the evil
and the results Of the use OF
narcotics, and eternal vigilance
by parents in the home"
PARENTS UNINFORMED
Dealing with the parent side
of the problem, Mr.. Breg voiced
his opinion that in many IN
stances adults fail to keep up
with modern science, and that
few really know the effects Of
narcotics and alcohol.
Howard v. Funk, Of Bronx
vile, N. Y, National Congress
chairman of the committee on
the study of the use and effects
Of alcohol and narcotics, said:
ST am amazed at the queS-
tions of youth. The problem
which confrontS them is not
new, and the effect Of alcohol
on youth is a disastrous one.
Alcoholic beverage is detrt-
ment, to society" r1.l,r
STUDENTS GIVE AID
Mr.: Funk, who has had broad
experience with young people in
his capacity as a teacher, work
ing with them for many years,
was assisted by Jane Corya,
Richard Mayer and Warren
Van Name, students from the
Bronxville public school, whose
questions involving the discus
sion were answered by him.
He is at present principal OF
the junior high school at Bronx
vile, and has served as national
chairman of the Congress COM
mittee on alcohol and narcotics
since 1894. s
