No date was set for the conference
with Federal authorities.
Vote to Extend Program.
The ITS delegates, who form the
governing body of the A. M. A.,
which represents approximately no.
600 physicians throughout the coun-
try, voted unanimously for extension
of the national health program out
lined two months ago by President
Roosevelt's Interdepartmental Com
mittee on Health and Welfare.
They opposed vigorously, however,
any plan of compulsory health insur-
ance, contending it would be "a COM
plicated, bureaucratic system which
has no place in democratic state
because it would lend itself "to politi-
cal control and manipulation"
The delegates came out in favor
of hospital service insurance and cash
indemnity insurance policies to cover,
in whole or in part, the costs OF emer-
gency or prolonged illness
AS for the medical care of the in
digent. the delegates said this should
be organized and administered by local
governmental units.
Support by Tax Funds.
I'VE advocate recognition of the
principle that the complete care of
the INDECENT Is a responsibility Of the
community, the medical and allied
professions" their report said, and
that such care should be organized
by local governmental units and sup
ported by tax funds"
The report added that each State
should develop system to fulfill
the recommendations OF the National
Health Conference when it declared
that "the role of the Federal Govern
ment should be principally that Of
giving financial and technical aid to
the States"
The delegates, agreeing in most
major principles with the $3.50, 0,O00,-
900 National Health program, backed
the committee in its Endorsement
Of better use of existing hospital facili-
ties, but opposed the building of ad-
hospitals where they are not
needed.
The Presidents committee urged es-
tablishment of a Federal Department
of Health, the secretary of which
would be a member Of the cabinet.
The association agreed with the pro-
vision that "he must be a physician"

BY the Associated Press.

BY me ASsOcltteo fIeAS.
NEW YORK, Sept l9.-An organiza-
ton known as the w. P. A. Employees
Association of America has written to
President Roosevelt that it proposes
to mould an army Of 100000 men
and women and their dependents"
to keep him in once and to vote only
for those congressional candidates
willing to support your recommended
tions and legislative program"
Raymond B. Meisnere. president Of
the association. last night issued a
copy of the communication to Mr..
Roosevelt and copy Of an answering
letter described by the association as
signed by David K. Niles, Assistant
Works Progress Administrator, which
read in part:
THE White House has referred to
this administration your letter Of Sep
tember '''. For your information
We are enclosing copy OF general
letter No. co. You will note from
this that w. P. A. workers are free
to organize and select representatives
Of their own choosing"
Union Is Denounced.
Mr.. Meisnere. in his letter to the
President. attacked an existing W. P.
A. union known as the Workers ALI
ance as bearing 1.-The taint Of Com
mrnism." and added:
We subscribe whole -heartedly to
your views on organization and realize
the need of enrolling a majority Of the
workers on w. P. A. into group
which will be truly articulate.
:. Our chief concern is greater
measure of benefits to w. P. A. em<
ployes in consonance with decent
American standards Of living. We
aim to achieve this by long tried and
well-established Democratic processes
because our faith in your leadership
and American institutions is profound,
We oppose any ism except American
ism.
Army Of 5000, 900.
Our further concern Is, frankly, to
be able to mould an army of 5000 900
men and women and their dependents
who will demand that their benefits
continue by maintaining you in office
as head of the national government
and to further use their votes and in
fluence that only such candidates for
Congress are elected as are favor
able to W. p A. and are willing to
support your recommendations and
legislative program"
Mr.. Meisnere went on to say that
1000 members had been enrolled in
less than week. He added the organi-
zation would hold monster rally"
here soon, and asked the President to
address it.
Meanwhile. the American Fedora
tion of Labor also has begun a CAM
paign to enlist members among the
Nations 100000 w. P. A. workers.
Hitherto the union claiming DOM
nance il this field has been the
Workers Alliance, an organization
seeking affiliation with the c. I. o.

Federal Project Workers, is a divi-
sion Of the American Federation of
Bookkeepcrs, Stenographers and Ac-
countants Union. an A. F. L. afili-
ate. Hubert Malkus, its chairman,
said the union would seek to organ
ize workers on w. P. A. white collar

 Then Rogers call letters came back, and Rogers voice, distinct and clear, almost as though he himself had stepped suddenly in- to the little glass tower with them, "JBHLP calling DIRK Esti- mated position entering border line Pennsylvania. Same altitude, 35,000 feet. Everything okay."
 Mac glanced around trium- phantly at Jackie's eager, flushed face. Flows that?" he asked. You got it all, didn't 'you?"
 Perfect" Jackie said. She closed her hands together ecstati- cally. It was just as Roger had said it would be now. She felt as though she were up there with him in his silver ship. The rest of the world did not exist. She had forgotten that she was sup- posed to be so angry with Roger that she hated him. Anything like that would have seemed too pet ty, too insignificant. This moment was supreme, outshadoWing the past, and even the future.
 Hell come in again pretty soon," Mac said. "Is there some message you'd like to have me slip in? May not be strictly within the rules" he flashed her a grin, "but under the circumstances I guess I could manage it."
 You mean you can say some thing to Roger for mel" Jackie gasped.
 Mac nodded. "Only word or two, of course"
 Only a word or two-what could they be? Jackie's hand, instinc- lively, sought and covered the pin that Roger had placed over her heart. Could you tell him I'm wearing his pin - for luck? Or if that's too long, just say Jackie sends luck :"
 Mac stopped ner, holding up his hand again. He swung round to dial once more, fingered it. "JBHLP calling DIRK :" there it was again! Once more Roger gave his altitude and estimated position. Mac replied, giving the answering signal and report; then-With jerk of his head toward Jackie-he end- ed by tacking on quickly, before the call letters, Jackie sends luck-and love DIRK DIRK :" Just luck did not seem enough" he said, turning to her, with his wide grin. That ought to make any fellow break all records. coming from the girl who's engaged to him" Jackie merely smiled in reply.

It might have been 10, 20 min- utes-or lifetime - before once again the eagerly-awaited call-let- ters came in.

 There, was nothing else to do. But Jackie felt as though all the blood were slowly draining from her body. Roger losing oxygen! Roger forced to nose doWnl She knew, of course, that this might prove disastrous. If Roger did not get oxygen quickly he might lose consciousness. He would have to bring the ship down to eight or 1000 feet ..
 "Listen!" Mac bent over the re- ceiving set again. The silence was unbearable for that split second. Then yes!-Roger's call letters, thought rather faintly and indis- tinct his voice, coming in stronger:
 Dropped to 5000 feet. Estimated position west leg of Bellefonte beam. Can you give ceiling? Motor log
 Motor logged! That meant Roger had had to cut the switch when he nosed down and that now it would not take again.

CHAPTER XIII

 pass until Rogers silver ship could be contacted direct, at the radio tower. At the little Airport Inn, where she and Roger had met so many times, she ordered coffee and hot, buttered toast. She would man. age somehow to force down a little breakfast. She bought paper and tried to read for a time, but since there was no news regarding Rog- CTS stratosphere flight she really did not know what she read. She watch ed passengers coming and going for awhile, wondering if any of them were as preoccupied with such tremendous matter as filled her mind and senses. Then she felt she simply could not sit still any long CT.
 At the hanger she talked with some of the men who knew Roger She told them what news she had received so far, tried to find out if anyone had heard anything more.
 "Gosh!" Jerry, one of the me- chanics, said solemnly. If he's as far on his way as you say, Miss Dunn, he must be breaking all records"
 He hopes to do better than 400w Jackie boasted with pride and confidence.
 Don't you worry" Jerry said, as she left, Rogers just the guy to show the world a thing or tWop
 Jackie assured him she was not worried the least bit. She was just excited; so excited that she scarce ly could contain herself.
 On the way back to the tower she stopped at the weather bureau for the latest report. It was pretty favorable, unlimited ceiling and viyibility most of the way; some scattered clouds in the vicinity of the Alleghenies. Of course, since the silver ship was flying so high danger of storms or fogs or that sort of trouble.
 There were several messages post es now on the bulletin board The last one was from Chicago. This re- port gave Rogers plane its same al titude 35,000 feet; it was maintain ing an estimated speed around 42G miles per hour.
 Jackie consulted her wrist watch, for the hundredth time, it seemed. The hands had never moved so slow ly. But she had managed to put in those two hours. Roger had been on his way now about 1-2 hours, may be little longer. Surely before much longer they would be in direct con- tact with him.
 She knew the moment she reached the top step to the tower that something important was happening Mac signaled to her wildly to hurry, to come close, at the same time warning her not to say anything.
 Jackie's heart hammered so painfully in her ears that the re- ports coming from the receiving sets were only a confused, indis- tinguishable tumble, absolutely meaningless. Then Mac twisted a dial held up his hand.
 'Listen!" he cried. T think we've got him." He put finger to his lips again.
 Jackie pressed close, nerves taut, ears strained. If only her heart would not beat so loudly.
 "JB JBHLP ." Rogers call letters! Rogers own voice, SC very familiar, first faint, now growing stronger. "JBHLP calling DIRK =" Those were the radio tower letters.
 "Oh, Mac!" Jackie could not re- strain the words that would burst from her lips. Excitement now was fearful, heart-flling. Try to tune him in clearer, please! We must hear every word of it ."
 It'll be perfectly clear in sec ond," Mac replied. He twisted the dial once more, reached over tt shut off another frequency. H.
