MEDICAL INSURANCE NOW PLACED BEFORE CONGRESS:
 QUESTION HAS TWO SIDES
By MORGAN M. BEATTY AP Feature Service Writer

WASHINGTON, Feb. IA. = Who should sponsor medical insurance for the millions-Uncle Sam or the nations organized doctors?
 That's the real issue behind the medical headlines so often seen on the nations front pages these days.
 Through the American Medic Association, the doctors argue they are qualified by experience to or- ganize and supervise medical insur- ance for the public. They insist government in medicine will lead to a politicians quest for votes instead of adequate medical care for the needy. And they charge that gov ernmental system would set up an undemocratic bureaucracy and a wasteful and costly tax collection.
 On the other hand, the master minds in four great Feedral depart ments are sure that Federal and State governments jointly should take over medical insurance.
 These departments are the Treas ury, with it's Public Health Service; the Labor Department, long spec ial pleader for low wage groups; the Social Security Board, the big gest mass insurance enterprise in the world; and the Department of Agriculture, charged with the pro- lection of farm populations, which now receive inadequate medical care.
 Another government agency, the Department of Justice, is adding to the furore by putting the medi- cal association on trial for breaking the monopoly laws. The charge is the association tried to block Group Health, Inc, a medical insurance experiment endowed with a $40,000 Federal subsidy and run by Gov ernment workers heer in Washing ton on a voluntary basis.

U. 5. FOREIGN p0LI(YI5 DISTRUSTED BY WESTERN
 SENATOR'S A5IT WAS, 1917
By PRESTON GROVER

WASHINGTON, Feb. 14.-Smol- dering suspicion ill the minds of cer- tain congressional groups about our foreign policy aims found new fuel in the Presidents purported state- ment to the Senate Military Affairs Committee that this government is deliberately helping France an England in their efforts to match the strength of totalitarian states.
 This correspondent has reported before the outright suspicion on Capitol Hill that the U. s. has an unwritten alliance with England and France and that the armament pro- gram of the past two years is part of the network.
 The developments with regard to airplane orders by France and Eng land have not allayed such sus- picion.
 The President himself made no public pronouncement of any plan to put the airplane factories of the United States at the disposal of France and England as a deliber- ate policy of matching strength of the democracies against that of the totalitarian states. But the com- mittee conferees allowed enough to leak out to convince reporters that such were his plans.
 WELCOMES PLANE PURCHASES
 The President did say at two re- cent press conferences that he was glad to have France and England buy planes in the United States for two reasons. First, it put idle me- chanics to work. Second, 1t helped U. s. plants to perfect the technique of mass production. But when he was asked whether he would well come the same use of American plants to build German and Italian planes he declined to answer.
 Much of the suspicion of his for eign policy arises from the trans Mississippi states, the Dakotas and their neighbors, where anything smacking of participation in Euro pean affairs long has been dis trusted. Several mid-western votes were cast against U. s. entry into the World War. Senator Norris of Nebraska cast one, the only sur- viving Senator who did so. Trans Mississippi's lack of enthusiasm for the World War was of sufficient concern to the wartime Adminis- tration that special pep takers were sent out to the Dakota country and adjacent states.
 Their American loyalty was not questioned then and it is not now

There is no trace today of the missing airplane in which it is reported five passengers and pilot disappeared Sunday afternoon in the vicinity of Grand Island near Taku Inlet, approximately 18 miles out of Juneau.
 Pilot of the lost Marine Airways pontoon ship was Lon Cope, vet eran Alaskan aviator. On board the ship were John Chappell, Juneau insurance man; E. E. Elk, Juneau salesman; Earl Clifford, Juneau salesman; George Chamberlain Anchorage salesman, and, it is be- lieved, an 18-year youth, Jack Lennon, who boarded the plane at Wrangell
 The ship was enroute from Ket- chikan to Juneau on chartered passenger trip.
 Extensive Search
 Searchers by plane and boat re- ported nothing seen and nothing heard after two days intensive search for the pontoon- equipped Marine Airways plane lost since 2:15 o'clock Sunday afternoon when the final cryptic message from Pilot Lon Cope passing over Grand Island" was heard over Marine Airways radio in Juneau.
 Three planes are working the skyways today, combing the area in which the missing ship was last reported
 Four boats headed by the Unit ed States Coast Guard cutter Haida are plying the waters in the section.
 Landing parties have been put off the Haida and Brant to con- duct shoreline expeditions on the possibility that some indication may be found on the beaches which had escaped vigilance from the tra- versing water craft.
 False RumOrs
 False rumorS of garbled radio reports received from an unknown source at the United States Sig nal Corp office were discredited by officials of the Signal Corp here.
 Excitement ran high in Juneau last night over the tale of discovery of the lost plane by members of ski expeditions. These parties re- turned to Juneau late yesterday afternoon empty handed.
 The Marine Airways' two-way radio-equipped pontoon Fairchild was six-place ship with a six hour cruising range on full gaso- lene load of 120 gallons. Fuel res ervoir had been refilled at Ketchi- kan before Lon Cope took off from there with his passenger load last Sunday. The flight from Ketchi- kan requires normally two to three hours. stft,XEf
 The plane is a Fairchild II, pun chased last October from Pacific Alaska Airways. which firm had used the ship in the Interior. It had black fuselage, blue colored tail assembly and orange wings. Civil Aeronautics Authority license number painted on the wings is NC 9777.
