suggestions of change in traditional medical
practice. On the other hand, reformers will
cook up schemes which might be imprac-
teal
Yet, even the conservatives admit that
some change is on the way. Pay-as-you-go
medicine means financial wreckage for too
many people. On this score alone, new ideas
are at least worth considering.
Another point: Health care is badly dis
tributed. In proportion to population. Cali
fornia has three times as many doctors as
South Carolina; Oregon five times as many
dentists as Mississippi Forty per cent of
all U. S. counties have neither health officer
nor recognized hospital. Death rates among
the poor in cities are the same as that for
the general population SO years ago.
To correct these conditions. one group
would put the whole problem of medical
care in the lap of the Federal government.
Conservatives choke with rage over this.
Medical care sold on the impersonal
basis on which stamps are sold in the
post office, they ask? The other side re-
plies: Schools, fire and police departments
are run on such basis, with good results.
Everyone chips in and everyone benefits.

about outlandish prices, but the mer-

At sunset they had erected fine new

every merchant in town had marked

done to give you, and the US,
a healthier, happier future.
TINE average citizen thinks the United
j. States is the healthiest, most medically
advanced country in the world. Not if you
want to live to ripe old age, it isn't. In
normal times many other countries, such
as Norway and Holland, gave bonus in
added years of life. Before the war you
could live longer in those lands than you
could here.
But aren't we healthier? Draft figures
don't say so. A third of our men were re-
jected for medical reasons - muscular
skeletal defects, syphilis, heart trouble and
hernia being ranking causes.
The fact is, we are still long way from
achieving good national health. Fifteen
million people live in areas without hospi-
tails. In some states over half the births
are supervised by midwives Surveys indi-
cate that families with income under $1,000
year could use twice as much medical care,
four times as much dental care and 10 times
as many health examinations
We Must Solve the Problem
Bur something can. and should, be done
on three basic counts: Q) health service;
(2) distribution of medical centers; G) re-
search. And you may be able to help-if
you understand the problem.
In the months just ahead the question
is going to be blasted wide open. The
nations health - and what to do about it
is going to be the hottest, most contro-
versial question of the postwar period.

Electricians Charge

The Electrical Contractors Asso-
citation charged yesterday that the
District Commissioners have de-
layed unduly in drawing up and
enforcing adequate regulations gov
erning the electrical field, with the
result that inferior workmanship is
invited here.
Although Congress passed the
necessary legislation 10 months ago
the association said in its monthly
publication, e. C. A. News, the
Commissioners have failed to pro-
duce the regulations.
Robert H. David, deputy inspector
of buildings and director of inspec-
ton, when informed of the asso.
ciation's criticism said he did not
believe there had been undue delay
and added that the licensing law to
which the association referred also
covered plumbing, steam engineer
ing, ventilating, heating and re-
frigeration. He said the regulations
now were being edited to take the
kinks out"
The association charged that while
the District "dawdled," nearby
Maryland and Virginia have been
making use of their licensing laws
with the result that men who know
too little about electrical work to
qualify in neighboring areas "find
here a sort of paradise where nc
one questions their ability or re-

Claims Largest Share Of Victory,
I'VE cannot but take cognizance
of the efforts made to return to the
old policy of balance of@power in
Europe which is now being served
up In the form OF Western bloc
Is that not tantamount to juxta-
posing the policy of collaboration
among great powers to the policy
of dividing the world into ,blocs with
policy aimed at disuniting the
democratic forces?"
The Russian writer said the larg-
est share of the victory was con-
tributed by the Soviets, who feel
that stronger Soviet Union is bet

all nations.

they are bent on "blackmailing
