Typographical UniionsToMeetIn WorcesterJan2l
Midwinter Session Will Be Devoted Strictly To
 Business Of Unions

Highlights of the mid-winter meeting of the New England Con. ference of Typographical Unions are contained in communication received during the week by affili- ated local unions from officials of the Conference which, it is an. nounced will be held at the Sher- atom Hotel in Worcester on Sum- day, January 2l.
 This meeting, according to the communication will be open to all members of the ITU, but that due to lack of time and the large attend ance expected only accredited dele gates will be allowed to vote and dis cuss questions at issue. It will be a business meeting pure and simple and so no entertainment program has been arranged to interfere with the pro- gram outlined for the conference.
 It is planned to open the meeting at 10 o'clock with recess for lunch con, reconvene at 2 80 and to continue until the business of the session has been completed.
 For the most part the morning ses- sion will be devoted to a discussion of scales negotiated since the last meeting and those now in progress of negotiation. "War conditions" the communication states, "have changed methods of negotiating scales to such degree that representatives of unions who were instrumental in closing con- tracts can be of valuable assistance in future negotiations.
 It is expected one or more repre- sentatives of the ITU Executive Council will attend the meeting. Their presence, it is said, is re- garded with importance, as aside from acquainting the meeting with conditions as these exist in the New England area, conditions in other parts of the country will also be reported.
 Attention is also called to the an- nual convention of the Conference which is to be held in Hartford, June 25-26, 1o45.
 The Conference Call is signed by Herbert A. Woodcock, Provi- dence, President; Joseph J. Egan, New Haven, vice-president, and J. W. Buss, Concord, secretary-treas- urer, for the Executive Board.

the money to build the homes, and that if tenants are not compelled to pay for damages" the builder may permit the property to go to fore closure and the government may have to buy it in at loss.
 From the beginning the FILA. has been on the realtors side Years ago labor protested that it seemed to have little or no interest in what happened to tenants and home buyers.
 A group of Detroit war workers gave the committee the names of Is families who had been compelled to pay from $l0O to $500 security de- posits" before they obtained housing, and not single family was able to get penny back when it vacated.
 Spokesmen for the A. F. of l.. and C. I. o. declared they had evi- dence of 25O similar cases in the Detroit area alone.
 Ivan D. Carson, O.P.A.'s deputy rent administrator, testified that the gouge had attained such far reaching proportions that safe guards had to be invoked.
 The agitation to break down the regulations, Carson said, comes ex- clusively from the builders of private war housing-'those who operate with government funds and are out ito make killing at the expense of the government and war workers"
 Despite this testimony, and much more of the same sort, Congressman Smith said at the close of the one day hearing he would ask Congress to meet the builders demands.

children in the United States.
 Miss Lenroot contended that lack of funds and trained personnel, and in some cases eligibility tests" inn posed by the states, prevent the serv- ice being extended to all of the child ren needing them.
 State as we'll as Federal appro. priatiOns should be increased, she declared. estimating that $2O,OOO,. 900 or five times the present Fed eral appropriation, could be used prOfitably every year.
 Lack of special educational facilities required by the handicapped young sters was stressed by John w. Stude- baker, commissioner of the U. s. Office of Education, who pointed out that there is no Federal aid along this line and that the few state pro- prams reach only about 8 per cent of the children.
 That adults are faring little better was apparent from the testimony of Michael J. Shortley, director of the Office of Vocational Rehabilitation There is a backlog" of more than million and half persons under the program for medical treatment and job training and the number oi disabled is increasing at the rate of about 250,00O a year, he said.
 He also argued for an increase in funds, contending that from the purely monetary point of view it is justified by the spectacular gains in the earning power of individuals who have received vocational train. in0

Joins Hands With Realtors To BreakRentRu
High Official Urges Change Placing Workers At The
 Mercy Of Landlords

Washington this week was treated to the disheartening spec. tacle of a government agency join ing hands with real estate interests in drive to break down rent con- trOl regulations and place war workers at the mercy of greedy landlords.
 The exhibition took place before a special House committee headed by Congressman Howard w. Smith, re- actionary Virginia Democrat and a large property owner.
 This committee was created to en- able members of the real estate lobby to snipe at rent control.
 Abner H. Ferguson, commission CT of the Federal Housing Admin istratiOn, was put on the stand by the lobbyists as their star witness. He complained that the rent regu- latiOns would result in financial loss to the government.
 This strange statement was based on the fact that the OPA has issued an order forbidding landlords to de- mand from tenants more than one months rent in advance.
 Realtors are asking what they call security advances" They say the purpose is to cover any damage to the property during occupancy.
 The real object is to force tenants to pay higher rents.
 Ferguson excused his position by saying the FILA. had advanced

Would Insure Good Medical Care For All

A new nationwide health plan insuring good medical care for every man, woman and child in the country with in their ability to pay was an nounced this week by a con ference group of % well known doctors, economists administrators and represen tatives of organized labor.
 Florence C. Thorne of the AFL Research Dept. and GIG Research Director J. Raymond Walsh helped draw up the plan which proposes national sys- tenn of health insurance to which employees, employers and self employed persons would be re quired by law to contribute 1T proportion to earning capacity In addition, low income families would be provided for by supple mentary taxation.
 NATIONAL SYSTEM
 The project provides for a ma. tiOnal rather than a state system because so many states lack fnan. cial resources to carry out their own plans. It differs from the health insurance part of the Wag. r-Murray-Dingel bill, also backed by labor, in providing for decen- tralized administration with local units exercising autonomy under national standards, recognition of existing voluntary hospital and health insurance plans and the de. termination of policy by groups in which both the public and the medical profession would be repre- sented.
 Full steps are taken to safeguard the status of physicians and the quail ity of medical care and to encourage group practice as the most efficient and economical way of supplying medical service. Basic freedoms" in- clude the right of patients to select their own doctors and hospitals by individual or by group choice and the right of doctors to accept or reject patients, to talk. .part in a public sys- tenn or otherwise.
 Collection of funds will be linked to general social security collections. Pointing out that the average American family already spends 3 per cent of its income on doctor and hospital bills, the con- ference group says this plan would call for little new outlay of money but would merely regularize exist ing payments. Medical service wold include hospital care as well as preventive, diagnostic and treat ment services from doctors for bed, ambulatory and home patients.
 The Health Program Conference report was worked out jointly and unanimously by 13 doctors, staff mem bers of the Rockefeller Foundation and the U. s. Public Health Service, eight health insurance economists and eight administrators from government and private agencies, in addition to the labor representatives, to safeguard the interests of all groups and meet objections to existing health insurance plans.
 It is presented not as a bill for congressional action but as "a frame work for improved national health legislation and for action by non- governmental bodies," Dr. Michael M. Davis, chairman of the conference said.
 "The powers of modern medi. cine to prevent and cure disease,' ; he asserted, "are now only half available to most of the people be. cause of their cost. Medical care will be provided efficiently and ai lower cost when doctors work in teams and in association with g hospital. Solo practice should gradually give way to group prac tice."
