collectively, constituted fleet con-

The few ships that remained

heavily damaged as to be of no

In striking contrast is the record
OF our ships.
Although 2 old battleships were

Nimitz Statement.
The capacity of the United States
to build warships, auxiliary ships
and merchant ships, while support
ing our forces and our allies all
over the world, exceeded all former
records and surpassed our most
sanguine hopes. 1t proved to be
a vital component of that sea power
which Admiral Chester w. Nimitz
has well defined in the following
words:
"Sea power Is not a limited term
1t includes many weapons and many
techniques. Sea power means more
than the combatant ships and air.
craft, the amphibious forces and
the Merchant Marine. 1t includes
also the port facilities of New York
and California: the bases in Guam
and in Kansas; the factories which
are the capital plant of war; and
the farms which are the producers
of supplies. All these are elements
of sea power.
Furthermore, sea power is not
limited to materials and equipment.
1t includes the functioning organi-
zation which has directed its use

GROUP HEALTH
COOP RAISES
ITS BENEFITS

New York (CLNS)-Group Health
Cooperative has increased the bene-
fits under it's medimal and surgical
service plan as result of two years
of experience in actual operation. In
spite of the increased benefits the
premium rates remain unchanged.
The program of Group Health Co
operative has been approved by the
major county medical societies in
the New York area, and more than
5000 physicians are participating.
The increases announced by
Charles A. Marbles, president, have
been approved by the New York State
Department of Insurance and provide
for additional payments in such COM
mon surgery as tonsillectomies and
hemmorrhoids, and such major opera
lions as amputations and surgery on
the spine. Amounts range from 15%
to 1907. For subscribers using the
services of on-participating physi-
clans, payments of indemnities have
been raised 60 per cent. Group Health
Cooperative provides medical care in

UPPED BY The
18th ASSEMBLY

Increases in appropriations for state
agencies and institutions over the
ones made by the 2Sth legislative as.
sembly, marked one good feature of
the present assembly now winding up
it's work.
The state water conservation board
was given an increase, as were the
university system, the welfare depart
ment, custodial institutions and the
common school general fund, though
the latter was reduced by $550,000
from the amount which had been re-
quested as necessary for the function
ing of our schools
The appropriation for the university
system was increased over that for
the current biennium by $1,2S7 900 to
a total of $3,93S,OO This increase
was asked for by the state board of
education in order to develop required
courses in some of the units of the
system.
The appropriation for the common
school general fund which had been
called for was $1,5O0,000 The lower
house reduced this to 100000 which
was increased by the senate to $780,
900, which many of the members of
both houses considered totally made
quate. Efforts to secure the return of
the house bill from the senate, led by
James of Liberty, in order that the
appropriation might be increased to
the necessary amount there failed of
by the lower house. James
led this effort Immediately after the
decision of the supreme court that
the surplus now in the general fund
of the state was available for appro-
priation.
Custodial institution appropriations
were increased by 100000 over the
appropriations by the 1943 session for
the current biennium The total ap-
by this assembly for the
custodial institutions amount to So
SCI, POS.
A substantial increase was given
the water conservation board. The
for the current bien-
mum made by the 1943 session was
s250,0OO. The appropriation for the
next biennium is 100000, or more
than doubled. The board is restricted
in its use of this appropriation how
ever to- maintenance and necessary
work on old projects and none of it
may be used for undertaking new
project work.

that body if it was to be con-
sidered. This required a two
thirds vote Of the membership
and the motion to suspend the
rules lost 16 to 38.
This ended all efforts for any pro
vision by the assembly for legislation
to name candidates for congress to
fill vacancies, one now existing in the
second congressional district due to
the death of James F. O'Connor
1t is possible that some attempt will
be made to utilize the old, nominating

that Governor Ford will request an

the provisions of the old law, in order
that the second district may have rep
resentation in the national house of

house. H. B. 81, fixing rentals fol

move it's most Objectionable features
and providing for a measure of pro
lection of the interests of the state.
! Liberal members of the assembly had
not been too worried about the bills
as they were reasonably certain that
the governor would probably not ap-
prove them if they reached him in
their original state.
Despite efforts by liberal legislators
to secure a substantial increase in
the appropriation for the schools, only
$500, 900 to which the original request
for $1,500,0 900 had been cut by the re-
dictionary majority in the house, was
secured.
An effort, led by James of Liberty
to have the house bill returned to
the house for an increase after the
funds now in the general fund were
held free to be appropriated, was de-
feated by a vote of 81 to 27 The
