Craighead Sees
Federal Medical
Measure Danger

GREAT FALLS The Wagner
Murray senate bill under considera-
ton in Congress is a potential threat
to the social security program and
its enactment would 90 a long way
toward widening authority to fed
eral officials and wiping out state
and local governments. Barclay
Craighead of Helena stated here.
Craighead. chairman of the Mon
tana unemployment compensation
commission, asserted the bill would
mean further taxation, loss to local
government of funds raised under
the bill and domination of the
country's profession by one man.
The bill, introduced by Sen. F..
Wagner of New York and Sen. James
E. Murray of Montana, would cause
much more money to be taken from
the state by taxes, Craighead said.
The $4,000 Montanans covered by
social security regulations would be
nearly doubled by the addition of
farmers, livestock men, professional
men, and state and local employees
and domestic servants, he said.
Discussing the medical aspects
of the bill. Craighead said the pro-
gram would be administered by the
surgeon general who would pay
doctors for their services. The ad-
ministrator would also make deci-
sionS as to which doctors would
treat the various ills of the patients.
and doctors participating in the
proposed program would be per-
mitted to carry on their private
practices, he said.

THEY'RE WATCHING YOU

II we can draw any conclusion from the scores of letters we
receive, it is this: Our men, scattered on fighting fronts all over
the world, think a good deal about home and they are watching
more closely than ever, what the people at home are doing to
help bring this war to a successful conclusion.
So, it has been with reluctsnce, that on a few rare OCCASION
we had to print the news that Valley county people were tagging
In this or that war drive. Happily, we have gone over the top
In every one. We say happily, not because of our own pride
in achievement, but because we know it will be a help and a
lift to Bill in the South Pacific, or John in Australia, or Eddie
in Italy. 1t is only natural that our fighting men should compare
their ~hardships and sacrifice with what we are doing. Ours are
small, when we hear of theirs.
We can think of no better reason for ready and quick SUD-
of the Fourth War Loan. We think of it every time we get
a letter from overseas. They're watching us.

CONGRATULATIONS, OPHEIM

We note our friends from the north country community of
Opheim are conducting their usual aggressive and fruitful
campaign in the Fourth War Loan. Their activities serve to
remind us that this Valley county community has shown a fine
spirit all through this war - and before the war. We doubt if
there is a small town in Montana that can boast of a higher
percentage of volunteers in our armed services, and many of
them enlisted even before hostiities began. Opheim has always
responded readily and cheerfully, has always exceeded its quota,
no matter what the call has been, for war bonds, Red Cross or
other worthy causes. The north country truly has reason to
be proud O. the example it is setting.

 The drive was decided upon after consultation with representatives Of the food trade who reported that the reserve supply of paper bags has disappeared, stores arc using all the new bags they con buy, and have no assurance that the situa- ton will improve.
 Brown paper bags are made en- tirely from new pulp, lt WAS pointed out by salvage officials, and the ordinary paper salvage operation does not contribute to tho supply Demands for wood pulp for war pur- poses have sharply reduced the ole lotment for manufacture of paper bags.
 Tho Food Distribution Committee in its letter to food stores, suggest- cd that they ask customers to ae- cept merchandise without c paper bag when it Is already in c package such as cereal and soap.

homie loss while a boy killed at IS loses his whole life, including all the upbring- ing and education put intoit. pr. Hooton has some sound argument on his side. Some of history's brightest pages were written by youngsters The steamboat, cottin gin, electric light, telephone, air plane, phonograph, and magnetic and wireless telegraphy to name a handful of historic inventions, were the work of young men. And the world of the arts offers hundreds of examples of youthful masterpieces.
 But it is also evident that some men have done their best work when, accord ing to Dr. Hooton, they should have been total waShouts. WaShington'S greatness was just becoming apparent at 45. The versatile rankin became a great states man in his seventies Lincoln was 52 when he came to the White House. Or, in our own day, there is Franklin Roose- welt, who became President at 51, and Churchill, made Prime Minister when he was past 65 But there is no need to go on. It would take week to make up even fairly representative list of con- temporaries who, at 45-pluS, are conSid- erably more valuable than cannon fod- der. Perhaps it might be well, also, to mention plan now being worked on by a group of aging men which would settle Dr. Hooton'S cannon-fodder controversy by doing away with war entirely.

Commonplace Tomorrow

Artists like to draw fanciful concep- tionS of the future. From time lmme- morial they have imagined man flying. Contemporary artists can now go to any metropolitan airport and see how woe fully their predecessors underestimated mans flying ability.
 A major airline recently received answers from more than 27,000 air travel CTS who were asked what they would de- mand of commercial aviation after the war On the basis of these answers this airline has drawn plans indicating that the postwar airliner which will carry more than 50 passengers from New York to London in less than 12 hours for fare of $235, will contain many of the con- venienceS of modern home, including comfortable seats, uniform heating, ettl- cient reading lights and electrical cook ing devices.
 A passenger request which is receiving serious consideration is an illuminated trip program panel to keep the air traveller informed as to what cities he Is flying over. But leading the list is the presSurized cabin to eliminate the effects of air-pressure changes when the plane is ascending or descending, and to permit flight in higher attitudes above the weather.
 In addition, the air will be heated or cooled to keep the inside of the cabin at a comfortable temperature, even though the temperature outside may range from so degrees below to 100 degrees above zero. All of this may sound like the rav- ing of an artist gone crazy. But it isn't. It is a preview of commonplace tomorrow.

 Critical weapons Behind Sched- ules," says a headline. "Toy Pro- grams All Off from WIPE October Goals"
 And the people who are jared and maybe worried now are those who have got themselves into a foolish state of mind, where they imagined that the wal was nearly over, and they could ease up physic- ally and mentally. There have been too many such people in American homes and war factories.
 It is better to toughen our spirits than to weaken them. Nobody knows when this war will end, and by the same token, nobody knows what we may have to go through before our enemies la ydown their arms. The one sure thing right now is that peace seem sto recede, even while we hopefully try to grasp 1t. The way to hasten tho end of this war era is to work harder and faster tha never, on all the war fronts. The men in arms are doing their share. Those in the factoies and in all other branches must do the same.
 Incidentally, it is well to remem- Der that the Americans on the vest ern front are fighting in the worst weather in 40 years, against the most cruel and relentless enemy this na. tion ever had.
