A. FL. Presents LargeProgramTo AidHandicapped
Need Of Safeguards With Teeth Greater Than Ever,
 Hines Tells Solons

A broad program of rehabilitation for the physically handicapped, super vised by general committee includ- ing representatives of labor and war veterans, was suggested this week by the A. F. of L. at hearing. before the Kelley subcommittee of the House Committee on Labor, which is in- vestigating the plight of millions of blind, deaf, crippled and otherwise disabled Americans.
 Following admissions by govern ment officials that the present pro- gram reaches only small fraction of the men, women and children with serious defects of one kind or another, the proposal presented by the Federation's legislative repre- sentative, Lewis C. Hines, made a deep .impresliion upon the com mittee.
 Hines declared that, with casualties on the battlefield mounting steadily and the number of naimed in fac tories running a close second, it is obvious that the need for humane Nrogram with teeth" in it will be greater than ever before.

Strong Program
 On Legislation Framed By NY.
A.F.L. In Empire State Be. lieves Dewey Will Listen
 To Reason

ALBANY, N. Y.-Conhdent that the Roosevelt election sweep has put Gov. Thomas E. Dewey's state ad- ministration in a spot where it car be made to listen to labor, the New York State Federation of Labor has drafted its strongest legislative pro- gram 1n many years to place before the 1945 legislature.
 The program, drafted by delegates representing 1,500,000 A.F.L. mem bers at the recent annual state legis- lative conference here and put into final shape by the executive council calls for:
 Creation of strong state Fair Employment Practices Committee to prevent discrimination because of race, creed or color.
 A state health insurance system providing adequate medical care and disqualification for families with incomes of less than $5,OOO a year.
 Cost of living increases for state, county and city workers earning less than $5,OOO a year.
 A ceiling on commercial rents.
 Extensive improvements in the unemployment insurance and work. mems compensation laws.
 Feeling of the legislative confer ence, in sharp contrast to last year was that it will be possible to put through many big reforms in 1945 Belief of many delegates that the Dewey administration would be com pelled to make concessions to labor was strengthened by speeches made to the conference by Oswald Heck COP speaker of the state assembly and two Dewey appointees from the Dept. ot Labor and the Unemploy- ment Insurance Advisory Council.
 Don't worry about the next ses- sion of the state legislature" Heck said. "All political parties in this state, Republican, Democrat and American Labor, are sympathetic to organized labor" The two appointees proposed improvements of the unem- ployment insurance and work1nen's compensation laws which followed closely the A.F.L.'s own program.
The union times., 1945-01-06

Speaking from experience gained when he headed the Pennsylvania de- partment of labor, Hines went on to stress that it should be run by prac- tical people free from interference by "uplifters' and politics.
 He also hit at the present work mems compensation system, charging it has resulted in the handicapped being screened out" of gainful em- ployment.
 ''We are going to find that the old-time methods of keeping these people out of jobs to keep down the employers insurance rates will not work and that it will be neces- sary to establish a Federal com pensatiOn program along with the program for physical and voca- tional rehabilitation" Hines de clared.

68% Want Security Law To Provide It

By an overwhelming ma- jOrity, American civilian adults have indOrsed the idea of amending the Social Secur- ity Law SO as to provide for paying for the doctor and hospital care that people might need i'm the future.
 Dr. Henry B. Richardson, chairman of the Physicians Com mittee on Research, Inc, this week released figures compiled by the National Opinion Re search Center of the University of Denver.
 68@o FOR IT
 The figures showed that 68% thought it would be a good idea and only l9% were opposed to it, while l3% did not have any opinion. Of college people, 58% were for the plan and 33% against, with just 9% lacking an opinion.
 Among the Roosevelt voters of lo40 it was 749o for it, while those who chose the late Wendell L. Willkie were only 5596 in favor of the idea. Non-voters were for medi- cal care in this plan by 693o.
 After sampling of the U. s. popu- lation had been taken and asked if they were for this expanded social security, those in favor of 1t were asked if ''thiS meant that 21a@o of peoples pay checks would be taken out instead of 1%, would you think this a good idea or bad idea?"
 Of these, 58%o of the people were in favor of it, lO% were opposed and 1396 didn't know. (1o%o had ans wered no to the previous question
 Republication plans, such as the natiOaIIy famous Blue Cross, found favor from 92% of the people, with only 4% opposed and 4% without any opinion. I'm the white collar group it was 94% in favor, the same as manual workers, both skilled and unskilled. Farm CTS, with only 82% favoring hos pitalizatiOn insurance, brought the national average down.
 The survey seems to show differ ent picture than the medical trust wants to present.
