Unless Jean Cabin can be talked

Cabin asked for a cancellation
OF his contract. And. since Nichols
wrote the screen play for him,
for time il looked serious. Today
Nichols told this writer that Miss
Rainer had been so cooperative in
the whole thing, that he was in
favor OF revising the script and
building ii around her.
Cabin, who left a perfectly good
contract with Goth because he did
not like their stories, says he is
willing TO do another picture for
his friend, Jean Renior, later in

Social Security Plan

Ry he Associated PreSs

By he Associated Press.
OTTAWA. March II. - Three
health insurance bills involving the
pooling Of Canada'S S doctors bills
and social security plan to assure
every Canadian of a basic minimum
income were submitted yesterday Dy
Pensions Minister Ian Mackenzie
at the first meeting of the special
House of Commons Committee on
Social Security.
Health insurance was put forward
as an immediate legislative propo-
SitiOn by the minister. while the
social security program as outlined
in the report of Dr. Leonard C.
Marsh, research adviser to the gov
ernments Advisory Committee on
Reconstruction, is to be studied by
the House of Commons committee.
Proposed as joint Dominion
provincial measures, the draft
health insurance bills include:
/. A Dominion health bill, under
which the Dominion government
would make grants to provinces for
health insurance and other health
measures.
2. A draft provincial bill. contain
ing the machinery under which
Evening star., 1943-03-17

each province could set up health
insurance.
3. A physical fitness bill, author
lz1ng creation of a Federal fund
from which grants would be made
to provinces carrying on approved
programs.
Medical Care for AL
Under the measures every Canad-
ian would receive medical and
dental services, hospital care and
drugs as necessary at a cost of not
more than s26 payable by each adult
every year, and about S13l.436 900 a
year from public funds.
The $1,000 900 000- wear Marsh
social security plan is on the GEN
eral lines Of the Beveridge proposal
for the United Kingdom. but it was
drafted Independently.
The plan also proposes an outlay
Of a second S1,000.0O0 900. during
the first year after the war. on
works projects designed to fiji the
gap between demObilizatiOn ana
restoration Of the national economy
to the peaCetime basis.
All this, the report SAYS. can be
done on half the present war
expanded Federal budget.
Main Proposals of Plan.
Here are the main SUGGESTIONS.
Establish childrens allowances,
Evening star., 1943-03-17

increase the present benefits under
unemployment insurance; provide
unemployment assistance to unjn-
Sured persons; institute free medi-
cal care for all citizens. offer sick
ness and maternity benefits, make
no immediate change in workmen's
compensation; lower the age for the
existing nOn-C0ntrIbutory old-age
pensions and institute a new con-
tributory old-age pension: provide
permanent disability and survivors
pensions, and pay funeral benefits
The basic minimum income aimed
at in the report appears to be on the
order Of SIS month for an individ-
ual, S45 month for a married
couple and Sl450 a month for each
child. DR.. Marsh used budget pre-
pared by the Toronto Welfare Coun-
Gil for these figures

men would take the same course
simultaneously
Under the phase system, a small
group spends one siX-day week on
one subject. For example. such a
group learns tank CarburetOrS. They
see the blue prints. put CarburCtOrs
together, run tank engines, learn the
sounds Of Carbugctor trouble. see
movies. study big cutout models and
scan brilliantly coIored charts. This,
too, IS done by groups. so that all the
apparatus is kept busy.
DR.. Fryklunds aim is that the
men shall both learn a phase in one
week. and also in that time make
the work a part Of their life in the
sense of becoming automatically
skilled
New Group Each Week.
A new group enters each phase
each week. usually I4O men to A
9roup, In some departments like the
electrical methods of handling and
fr-ng tank guns, the men are learn
lnG SElll5 that are new in electricity
In tW0-Way radio the men learn
communications systems which were
bern OF this war.
The phase system takes care of
another obstacle. the fact that the
S20090000 plant which was built to
accommodate a supposedly maxi
mum quota Of men. has had to triple
lis Students without cnlarging it's
equipment. The students are divided
INTO two shifts One starts at s am.
the other finishes at pm. This
Cives each man 36 hours of class
work per Wcc.;, spread over six davS,
These students know that their
hVeS may depend on how well they
earn their courses here in periods
which average eight TO IA weeks, de-
pending on the subject. They have
another incentive, the lives of their
budd-eS-to-be, in armored divisions
using more than several thousand
motorized vehicles each.
Informative signs remind them.
One is a sentence supposedly found
written in his broken down tank by
man who lost his life in Libya:
Damn the man who fixed this
tank for me to die in"
