MEDICINE tax

cent of the American people.
say 16 per cent, because
that is the number, according
to a recent national survey,
who favor having social secur-
ity taxes increased from per
cent to per cent, in order to
have the federal government
pay our doctor and hospital
expenses.
Now I'm not saying that
wouldn't like someone, other than
myself, to take over the burden of
paying those bills happen to be
struggling right now to pay off the
expenses of major operation in
my family, and it's no fun. l don't
know of anything that can sudden
ly eat up savings, or build up debts,
like emergency medical bills can.
And l am all for some plan for

But, please, you 16 per cent who
feel that Uncle Sam is the guy
who can arrange for this, look into
the facts little more closely be-
fore you vote Yes" for taking 6
per cent out of your pay, and out
of mine, to put the medical profess
sion under the control of an army
of politicians.
Personally, l want to be able to

addition, have found the
disqualification insurance now
available to be a very adequate
way of keeping hospital ex-
penses down to practically
nothing. Health and accident
insurance, also available at
nominal cost, offer sound pro-
grams for paying for health
protection on the installment
plan.
Many big companies offer health
benefits to their employees, rang
ing from payment of all medical ex-
penses for the employees entire
family to partial assistance with
medical expenses.
| am bringing up these private
arrangements for medical protec-
ton to show that there is no reason
why we have to depend on govern
ment for the security we are seek
ing. The doctors, the insurance
companies, and private industry
none of whom approve of govern
ment medical care-age in the
mood right now to work with us to
establish sound and economical pro-
grams for anaesthetizing doctor
bills. And there is no doubt in my
mind that we would not only get
protection at less cost by encour-
aging such programs but would also
eliminate the possibility of the
standards of the medicals profess
sion being lowered in our country.

Fighting Over Peace

The arguments which preceded the San Francisco
'peace conference" didn't help build public confidence
in the theory that the nations of the world hereafter
get along big happy family.
The pickering how many votes EACH nation would
have in world governing body made it clear that most
of the leading nations will demand all of the power they
possibly get also indicates that it is going take
superhuman diplomacy in any world organization, to
keep any nation which doesn't get what considers
square deal from seeding from the organization
But shouldn't become too pesimstic
guments that develop. For in the United States
have the best example in the world of how groups
of people with different interests and different prob
lems live together amicably.

900, 100000 a year for medical pro
lection. 1t is estimated that $780,
100000 of that money would be
used to hire 10000 federal EN-
ployees to "administrate" the pro.
grant.
We don't know when con-
gress may begin consideration
of this and other similar pro-
grams which are shaping up,
but we do think the people
should analyzs the consequent
ces ahead of time. If your
congressman votes for such
legislation it will be because
he thinks you want it. Be-
fore he votes, let him know
whether you think a mixture
of politics and medicine can
produce a crue-all.

Senator Ferguson challenged the

Il want you to figure out where
that 5000 is by tomorrow morning
and tell the committee"
Mr. Brown said he didn't know
whether he could because "it will
take a lot of invoicing" and Senator
Ferguson shot back:
you mean to say that the Gov
ernment can't find out If it lost
S.. .00O?"
Senator Ferguson read a number
OF items which he said disclosed
discrepancies" in the price for
which items were knocked down at
the Maspeth auction and that for
which they were ultimately sold.
In many cases, he said, the Gov
ernment actually received much less
than the auction figure.
Senator Ferguson wanted to know
why Mr.. Brown had joined in a re-
port commencing Mr.. Goldberg's
work as an auctioneer in the face
OF these apparent Irregularities"
Mr.. Brown conceded that he

some negotiated sales, that its

The Justice Department soon will
ask the Supreme Court to pass on
the constitutionality Of the Gov
ernment's action in selling 16 prop

Court ruled on January q that the
seizure was illegal, and Solicitor
General Charles Fahy said yester-
day the petition would be filed
within two or three days.
The Government already has
docketed an appeal in the Court OF
Appeals, but If the Supreme Court
assumes jurisdiction the appellate
court proceedings will be waived.

Surplus Board Plans
10 Spread Out Sales
To Cushion Effect
BY GEORGE KENNEDY.

Not 800 billion or 100 billion, but
about S billion dollars In civilian
goods will become surplus on v day,
former Senator Gillette, Democrat,
Of Iowa told the press yesterday.
Mr.. Gillette undertook as chairman
OF the new Surplus Property Board
to debate published speculations on
the size of the. surplus overhanging
American manufacturer and trade.
He held a press conference with
his fellow member, former Gov.
Robert A. Hurley of Connecticut, in
the boards offices in the Municipal
Center.
If we spread out the sale, we
ought to be able to handle that
without disturbing things" MIR. Hur-
ley said. IT was pointed out that
total retail sales in 1943 were about
i've billion dollars month.
The news conference was the oc-
casion for the first public appear
ance of the board, composition of
which caused much criticism be-
cause the first two members named
by President Roosevelt had more
political than business experience
The third member, 1t. COL Edward
H. Heller, 44-year-old former Off
Ger OF the Pig n Whistle restau-
rants, one-time Democratic Commit
teeman in California and heir to a
San Francisco fortune, was at home
with influenza.
Sales Priority Explained.
Mr.. Gillette explained that first
chance to buy surpluses would be
given to other Federal agencies
then to State governments and
then to other political subdivisions
An important question facing the
board is the kind of preference to
be given veterans.
Both the chairman and Mr.. Hur-
ley seemed to be of the opinion that
the veterans preference should be
one OF position in the scale of op.
portunities to buy and not a price
preference.
"The law does not require it," MIR.
Gillette said.
Mr.. Hurley said that plans were
being formulated for the Veterans
Administration to issue nontrans-
ferable certificates to veterans to
enable them to buy surplus goods
or land. The veterans will come
after the Government units IN get
ting an opportunity to buy from
the surplus hoard, it was said.
Half the value of war goods that
will be in surplus will be in air.
craft and artillery and other weap-
ons," Mr.. Gillette said. There will
be no use for them and they will
have to be junked."
Even if the total surplus were
100000, 100000 in goods" Mr.. Hur-
ley said, "the civilian goods would
amount to only about $4,000, 900 GOO
in value"
After the, press conference. the
two members of the committee went
into conference on one of the most
difficult of the many problems con-
fronting them-what is to be done
about the billions of dollars worth
