sLUMs WHOSE RESPONSIBILITY?

Elimination of the slums districts in our cities is a laudable OBJ
jectlve and one which has the support of all progressive organizations
and individuals. The Federal Government has made n effort to aid
IN the elimination of these disease and crime breeding districts by
means of Federal housing projects, but it's efforts have been limited
to a much too small scale by the opposition of the private construction
and other special interests.
For the purpose of this editorial we will not enter into a n analysis
of the Federal VS.. private interests issue, except to say that in or
opinion the private interests have shown little inclination to tackle the
problem O a scale which will attain the objective of final and total
slunn elimination.
We will, rather, touch m IN angle to which, we think, far too
little attention mas been given, namely, the slum owners and the slum
jewellers.
The slum owners have been criticized n several counts, but main
y for allowing the properties they rent out to fall into such deplorabe
condition. The criticism is justified in many cases, particularly so
Where the owner milks it of every cent of rent he possibly can, but
never puts a cent back in the way of needed repairs or improvements
n such cases there is no possible way OF preventing the property from
eventually becoming the worst type of slum.
There is, on the other hand, a type of renter who would turn any
place into a Slum, and that tin a short time. We have seen, here in Gin
cinnati-and it is probably the same in other ciies-a whole section
of the city turned into a slum district by a shiftess class of people who

THE MEDICS, TOO, WANT A fence

A few years ago the stuffed shirt hierarchy running the state
CWisD medical society had al apoplectc seizure everytime someone
mentioned group health or dared to suggest that perhaps the payas-
you-go method of financing medical care was inadequate to the health
needs of the people.
The high priests of organized medicine seem to- have changed
their minds before the growing demands for modern sensible means of
financing medical care. In fact they like the idea of prepaid medical
plans so we'll that they were importuning the recent legislature to give
them q. monopoly on the plans.
Under the bill sponsored by the medical society the only medical
plans which would have been availabel to consumers would have been
those established by the society itself or by the county medical societies
with the approval of the state organization. This was obviously a
scheme to fence out cooperatives, labor unions, and other groups which
have pioneered in group health. In other words organized medicine
attempts to establish a monopoly in the administration of the purely
business features of group medicine.
Cooperatives opposing the bill sought to amend it to give doctors
the right to participate in prepaid medical plans established by groups
other than the state medical society They also sought to write into the
bill language specifically stating that the bill did not preclude the for
nation of medical plans by other groups.
Alho the legislature did not adopt the amendment proposed by
ne cooperaIVes 1t did tack or al amendment allowing doctors to parti-
cpate in other organizations. This amendment was passed after several
aSSemblymen voiced their suspicion of the bill and recalled that the
medical society in the past has refused permission to physicians to
participate in group health plans and had caused hospitals to dis
criminate against doctors who did.
There is a very encouraging aspect to the fight in the legislature.
II indicates that eve the reactionary medical politicians. having found
that they can't hold back the future by dragging their feet, have de-
clded to climb on the wagon and, if possible, do the driving themselves

Evidence uncovered by a House committee which is looking into

equally crooked corporation lawyers, and the judge delivers according

Judge johnson is dsgraced. Some of his associates m o the way

The bethlehem Steel Company wished to absorb the Wnliamsport

i'm q Courtroom

Few indeed can be the responsible citizens of France and the United
Nations who derive much pleasure from the trial of Marshal Petain
AS n returned to France, the trial is necessary. He betrayed his coun-
try and his ountrys pledged word by giving up the fight against
Germany. He continued to betray France, throughout his rule, by col
laboratng with the enemy, by leading Vichy Fascsm and by lending
NJ strength Of his prestige both to collaboration and Fascism. A verdict
of guilty is the only possible one-athough actual carrying out of
d death sentence, if delivered, is improbable because of his g and
political complications involved.
Guilty though Petain is, it would have been much better had he
never lived to go on trial. 1t is not inspiring to se witnesses. like
former Premier Reynaud, in effect defending their own error of iudg-
ment and weaknesses by testifying against him. It is not inspiring
that troops had to clear the court of Petainists and supporters of democ-
racy because OF the WrangGng between them. It is not comforting to
Americans that the man on trial is one whose regime the United States
long recognized in a policy of expediency and for whom iii Adm
Leahy nourished sentiments so cordial.
Adolf Hitler and his Nazis must have had some sardonic pleasure
IN permitting PetaIn to get out of Germany and return to the land
against which he committed treason-The Chicago Sun.

Wall Street spectators have

Reed used the Chicago & North

"Speculators purchased c. &

$2.25 a share" Reed said. Soon
after reorganization of that road
was completed, a dividend of $40
a share wa paid on that stock and
its present marked price is $75 a
share.
Thus these spectators have
made a neat profit of 4,222 per
cent.
Common stock in the same re-
organized railroad sold as low as
SO cents per share. A dividend of
SIS per share was paid on that stock
and its present market price is
$44,37 per share. Thus these as
