 ''It provides for free choice of physician and hospital and for the freedom of the doctor to determine the patients he will serve.
 ''It provides grants-in-aid for medical research, education and training.
 ''It is designed to supplement and not conflict with presently op- erating workmen's compensation plans.
 Tn brief it is a carefully consid- cred plan to meet just the deficiencies which the inquiries of this committee and previous studies of national health needs have revealed. It is our firm conviction that anything short of the comprehensive program pro vided in this measure will condemn millions of our people to the unde- served suffering and want attendant on illness and will contribute to the insecurity of our national wel1-being." :"

Health Insurance No. 1 Requirement

 Another factor in this complex of causes that results in such an ap- palling number of our people suffer ing from i'll health Is the fact that there appears to be little relationship between the need for medical ser vices and facilities and their avai1abil- lty. The adequacy of personnel and facilities for medical care in any given area is much more likely to be ln relation to its economic resources than to the health needs of its popu- 1ation."
 For these reasons, the AFL de- clared, passage of the Wagner -Mur- ray-Dingell bill is an urgent national requirement. The statement sunlmar- ized the health provisions of this bill as follows:
 ''In addition to its provisions for much needed improvement of the entire system of employment se- curity and old age benefits, it pro- vides health and disability benefits to practically all workers not other wise covered and to members of their families in industrial. com mercial, agricultural, domestic and nOn-profit institutional employ ment.

 With best wishes for the contin- ued success of your lodge, an ever increasing membership, and prosper ity in the postwar world which lies ahead"

Scarcely noted by the press was disclosure this week by Lieutenant General Brehon B. Somervell, chief of the army service forces, that Amer ican workers boosted production of munitions and supplies for the army during August by l0.7 per cent.
 That brought output figures to the highest level since last February, over coming a summer slump, Somervell said. He paid tribute to workers for putting their backs into the job of getting out enough arms and equip ment, on time"
 Most significant, he revealed, is that the chief increases were in items that had been acutely short. "The re- sponse has been most gratifying" he said.

Seditionists Pile Up Federal Court Costs

WASHINGTON = Filibustering defense attorneys in the mass sedi- tonist trial who rabidly accuse the present Administration of spending too much money, have themselves cost the U. s. more than $50000 dur ing the last six months through their obstructionist tacics.
 A Department of Justice audit lists trial, expenses at more than $65,000 to date. Originally scheduled to close months ago, attorneys for the 26 na- tive fascists and German American bundists have tripled the trials length. It is a fair estimate to charge off at least $50,0O0 of the litigation cost to the interminable interruptions of defendants and their attorneys.

Butter Stocks Shy;
 No Relief In Sight

Butter stocks are the lowest in 20 years, and no relief may be expected during the next three or four months.
 So says the War Food Administra- tlon, which declared the shortage re- suits from price ceilings that make it more profitable for dealers to sell their product as milk instead of butter.
 When the housewife does manage to get a pound of butter, she's likely to be "gypped," the W.FA. declared. It revealed that some retailers are being compelled to buy large quantities of soap, peanut butter and other products in order to qualify" for the purchase of small lots of butter.
