Speakers Split
Over Merits of
Medical SNretv

Arguments supporting and oppos-
ing principles embodied in the Wag-
|ner-Murray-Dingell bill. which aims
to set up a nationwide Federal
system Of medical and hospital in
surance, were presented by speak
ers at dinner meeting of the Busi-
ness and Professional Women's Club
last night at the YWCA.
Speakers included Senator Muir
ray, Democrat, of Montana, CO.
author Of the bill; DR.. Henry G.
Macatee, chairman of the Commit
tee on Public Policy and past presi-
dent Of the District Medical Society;
and Representative Stanley, Re-
publican, Of New York.
Senator Murray declared that
"only through adequate national
legislation is 1t possible to make
medical care really and readily ac-
cessible to tens of millions in the
United States
In answer to circulated charges
that physicians will be "regi-
mented" and private practice abol-
lshed," Senator Murray said, These
are devil words and phrases used
to arouse animosity against the bill
by those unfamiliar with its actu-
al provisions" He said, "Compul-
sorry health insurance is the only
practical solution for the medical
needs Of the American people"
Speaking for organized medicine,
DR.. Macatee argued that 80 much
OF the population would be covered
by the scheme that the provision Of
the bill which offers to the medical
profession freedom to work under
1t or not, becomes derisive."
Representative Stanley told of
protests she had received.
Constituents express fear that
despite wording of the bill, in &C
tual practice its effect would be to
prevent an individual from exer-
ctsing freedom of choice as to the
physician who would treat him or
her." Representative Stanley as
serted. Members of the Christian
Science faith had sent protests, she
added, arguing that enactment OF
the bill into law would interfere
with the practice Of their religion,
or rather compel them TO pay for
q service in which they do not be-
lieve."
DR.. Agnes L. McNutt, chairman
OF the Health Committee, who ar
ranged the program and intro
duced the speakers, was presented
by Mrs. Ellen S. Woodward, men,
Der OF the Social Security Board
and program chairman of the club.
Miss Marjorie F. Webster, president
OF the club, was in charge.

SOMEWHERE IN FRANCE,
Aug. 00-While the percentage
of women who actually took ref
uge in the Maquis is small, they
nevertheless played an import
ant part in the resistance. Be-
hind the facade Of the average
housewife or wage-earner they
hid the manifold activities OF
the partisan. In every town and
every village women formed re-
sistance groups, at first mainly
to help other women whose hus-
bands had been executed, made
prisoners, or deported to Ger
many.
The caring of orphans or
youngsters whose parents had
been deported soon became an
other branch of clandestine work
in which women of the resist
ance specialized. In many cases
where Jews were rounded up
and crowded into trains for de-
portation FrenchWomen h a We
run beside the SloW-moving
trains and snatched babies and
youngsters thrown out to them
by anguished parents. These
children had to be provided with
false papers and ration cards and
brought up as members of the
family.
Women acted as couriers, car
rying messages which obviously
could not be sent through pos
tai or telephone services. They
distributed clandestine papers
helped with the printing presses
stole identity papers and ration
card blanks, passed on orders fol
meeting and sabotage, all highly
dangerous work for which the
penalty, if caught, meant death

Having counted several hundreds, then waited
several dogs, we have cooled off enough to comment
effectively about the ~ grinders who stopped
working on Superfortress motors one day after the
BIO raid on Japan was announced.
II one Of those our brother, we should
close the door Of our home to him and erase his
name from the family Bible.
That, we hope, would better indicate our feeling
than the physical economic chostsements that
first suggested themselves. But, incidentally, we
would olso fire oil II, and ban them forever from
war work, and refuse them any public assistance Of
any sort.

more amenities she declared she
must be on her way. The Ger
man guard waved her on and as
a parting joke shouted: And
don't forget to thank Vie Brit
ish."
NO TASK TOO MENIAL
For Frenchwomen of all
classes there was no job too
mental when it concerned the
patriots army. They washed and
mended their clothes, risking
much to fetch and deliver them.
BY hook or by crook they car
ried food to the Maquis as well
as sorely-needed drugs, when
they could lay their hands on
supplies.
Not all the members of the re-
sistance movement in France
are armed guerrillas. Besides the
patriots army, now known as
the French Forces of the Interior
and numbering probably $780,
900, is another great army Of
civilians who already have
proved to the Allies their desire
to help. They represent at least
80 per cent Of the population
and include kids of 8 and 10 as
we'll as venerable grandmothers.
Youngsters lead our men to
German snipers' hideouts or give
wrong directions to the enemy;
a peasant woman will conceal a
soldier or a parachutist in her
cellar until the coast is clear; a
gnarled farmer working in his
field will keep a watchout for
enemy movements.
In these and in a hundred diff
ferent ways they are fighting the
Battle Of France, united in their
common hatred of the oppressor.

A SENTRY'S
WITS matched"
Frenchwomen soon acquired
the cool-headed resourcefulness
and cunning necessary to outwit
the Nazis. One incident will il
lustrate this: A few weeks be-
fore D-Day a woman patriot
was assigned to run a truckful
of small arms and ammunition
dropped by parachute by the
British-to somewhere in the
Haute Sayoie mountains" a dis
lance of some 80 miles. The
truck was camouflaged as an
ambulance. The Gestapo knew
that this was being done under
their very noses, yet had been
unsuccessful in laying hands on
a single load.
Arrangements were made for
patriots to meet the truck just
beyond the German control post
and to be on the "qui vive" to
come to assistance of Madame A.
Challenged by the sentry, she
was asked: What are you car
rying?" "A load of arms and am
munition, what do you Think"
she replied with a smile and a
shrug of her shoulders. Mean
while she had ostentatiously
produced large box of matches
and a pack of cigarets, two OF
the most difficult things to come
by in occupied France. She
asked the sentry if he smoked
and said he could have the
matches - that she had lots
more. Meanwhile she was wait
ing for the dread moment when
he would again mention her
load and she would be forced to
make getaway and perhaps
shoot. After exchanging a few
