A. P. Suit Called Sign
OF Attempt 10 freeze
Bill Of Rights
Representative PIumley
Says Press Freedom
Depends on Outcome
By the Associated Press.

By the Associsted Press.
Describing the Justice Depart.
ments anti-monopoly suit against
the Associated Press as evidence of
a determined effort on the part of
the bureaucrats at Washington to
freeze the Bill of Rights" Represent
atlVe Plumley, Republican, OF Ver-
mont asserted today there was mo
Justlf1able excuse for an attack on
freedom Of the press"
II press and political freedom are
to live, this suit should be thrown
out OF court" the New Englander
said IN a speech in the House.
The people stand 10 be the big
losers. II. by any chance, this suit
Is lost. the people will have been de-
prlved OF one Of the safeguards of
democracy"
Called Threat to People.
He described the action as more
than a lawsuit" and said it was "an
effort to take something away from
the people that is needed now as
never before In our history"
The monopoly suit against the
Associated Press seeks to accomplish
a total governmental control" Mr..
Plumley said. Tn the attempt of the
administration cfrcuitously and sur
reptitiously to throttle free press,
there is concealed a weapon even
more potent and dangerous and pois-
onous than was its effort to control
the court"
He said the Government ALREADY
holds the power OF life and death
over radio" and gives orders to
the motion picture industry. leaving
the newspapers as "our bulwark-
frank, free and fearless"
Rights Are Threatened.
The very nature Of the Asso-
ciated Press organization" he said,
guarantees objective reporting, an
unbiased and uncolored report Of
each OF the events about which it
tells. That Is what the New Deal
hates.
"The right of association OF men
or Of newspapers with associates OF
their own choice in free speech or
y 4lCC PACSS ID a 11kllG
AS fundamental as the Bill of
Rights itself. What profit is there
in liberty for citizens If the free
speech is sustained but no one Is
permitted to come and hear? Or
what of demand that news shall
be gathered, printed and made
public only when done in conjunc-
ton with all comers? A
fundamental American right is
threatened in this suit against the
Associated Press. If 1t is lost, the
whole American people are the
losers, not just the Associated Press"
Mr.. Plumley urged Congress to
"take notice of the fact that the suit
is an attempt of the executive to
bypass the legislative arm of the
Government" to which not even
the Constitution gives the right to
abridge the freedom Of the press.
"It must be conceded" he said,
"that Mr. Roosevelt is game fight
er. Whether he is a wise one, time
will tell"
Except for it's serious implica-
tions, he continued, the suit would
be funny"
Asks Publication of Facts.
Mr.. Plumley voiced the opinion
that all newspapers, whether men,
bers of the Associated Press or not,
should give the people the truth
about this suit because If the Gov
eminent should win it, they would
suffer the greatest injury to their
liberty and freedom that has ever
been inflicted upon them He pre-

Ponds Urged
For Ohio Farms

Urging Ohio Farmers to con-
struct ponds on their land, the
State Conservation Division this
week pointed out that ponds will
help restore ground water sup
plies, will serve as drouth insur-
ance, will assist in flood control
and erosion control and will pro-
vide for recreation in the form
of fishing and swimming.
Under a special provision of
taxes farmer must pay on his
the law, a pond also reduces the
land, the division also observed.
Conservation officials also are
launching a statewide campaign
to increase the number of farm
ponds, aided by a $4,000 appro-
priation made for the purpose of
the Conservation and Natural
Resources Commission.
Building instructions can be
obtained by any farm owner from
the Conservation Divisions office
in Columbus. Meanwhile, the di-
vision will get under way soon
with the construction of several
ponds as demonstration projects.

Pioneers Health Insurance
AS Social Legislation

fled as sickness compensation"
rather than "health insurance"
is regarded as the prelude of
nationwide drive to plug what
social workers have long consid-
cred the most important hole in
the U. S. social security program.
Health insurance has often been
the first social security measure
to be adopted by countries abroad
but in America it has come last.
The fact that it's inspiration
comes from a state capital and
not from Washington has warm
ed the heart of state-righters who
have been discouraged by state
willingness to let the federal gov
ernment exercise a monopoly ov-
er social legislation. This is not
taken as assurance that Wash
ington will not, eventually, take
over the health insurance field.
But individual state experience
federal health insurance system
will be important in shaping the
when it comes.

Rhode Island employers have
Just finished setting up a new
system of payroll records this
month as the country's first COM
pulsory health insurance law
went into effect. Entitled the
Cash Sickness Insurance Act,
the state statute is pioneering
piece of social legislation certain
to be copied in principle, if not
in detail, by other states.
No Employer Contribution
In its original, unamended
form, the law does not ask for
contributions from both employ
ers and employees. 1t is uni
lateral law applying only to en-
ployees. But the first state un-
employment insurance law was
also unilateral, hitting only en-
ployees. That law in Wisconsin
was soon changed to apply to
both groups, and the Rhode Is
land law is likely to have SINH
lar history. Strong labor and So
cial service group pressure is al
ready trying to convince the le-
gislature that there should be
mandatory employer contribution
before April l, 1943 date which
the law establishes as the time
when benefit payments are to be-
gin.
For the present, however,
Rhode Island employers are re-
quired only to keep records, with
hold the necessary contributions
from the wages of employees,
and transmit these funds to the
state sickness insurance fund. The
fund is administered by the state
Unemployment Compensation
Board, and employee contributions
equal l per cent of wages up to
a limit of $50 per year.
Waiting Period Provided
The benefits to be paid after
April /, 1943, range from a low
of $6.75 a week to maximum
of $18. The most it is possible
for an employe to draw in any
one year is $364.50, payable on
ly if his wages were $4,000 or
more during the year before and
if those wages were earned IN

Commissioners
Can Relocate
Roads In County

Boards of county commission
ers may relocate, alter construc-
tion of, or vacate portions of
county or township roads which
lie within the reservoir district
created by the United States, un-
der an agreement of the United
States to pay the cost when the
commissioners have determined
the public necessity or welfare
demands such action, Attorney
General Thomas j. Herbert re-
Gently advised.
Where a highway is the coun-
ty line or extends into two or
more counties the commission
ers of the affected counties may
agree to vacate or relocate the
roads at a joint meeting, Mr.. Her
bert said.
Commissioners do not have the
authority to convey flowage
easements over abandoned por-
tion of highways because the
floodage creates an additional
servitude upon the land while
the county has only an easement
for travel-further, upon vacation
of the highway, title reverts to
abutting landowners.
An agreement by the commits
sioners to save the Federal Gov
ernment harmless from any dam
ages from the effects of the dam,
would be a nullity because the
commissioners have no power to
make such a contract, Mr.. Her
bert said.
