Robomb Rocket Motors
Designed By MOnsanto
Also Manufacture Launching
Propellent Chemical for Robot Bombs

ST. LOUIS, February 15-Mon-
santo Chemical Company will not
only manufacture the launching
propellent chemical for American
models Of the robot bomb, as pre-
viously disclosed, but will also be
responsible for production of rocket
motors used in launching, it was
annonced today.
The company disclosed, with per-
mission of the Army Air Forces that
the rocket motors will in general ap-
pearane resemble open-end bombs
They are so designed that the re-
stricted opening at the rear end,
serving as a vent for the propulsion
gases, will break off if internal
pressure becomes excessive.
These are to be used to get the
robombs off the ground and to build
I'D momentum needed to start the
Jet propulsion motors. A carriage
into which cluster of rocket motors
will be fitted, will leave the ramp
along with the robomb. After the
robomb gets a safe distance from
the launching ramp, the carriage
and its rocket motors fall to earth
The rocket motors were engineered
by Monsanto technicians at St
Louis and Dayton. working in CO.
operation with the National Defense
Research Council and the Air Tech
nical Service Command. Sub-con-
tractors will fabricate them from
steel tubing, following technique
substantially similar to that used
in the manufactre of bomb castings.

His Greatest Speech


HOYT ALLEN made a speech
Tuesday noon at the klwanlS
luncheon which drew a big
laugh from the crowd. Then Mr.
Allen sat down with a satisfied look
on his face. He had scored a tri-
umph verbal nose-thumbing.
Walt Eberts put Mr.. Hoyt Allen
in the proper frame of mind il.
by delivering a tongue lashing on
the proposed City Charter change.
Some of Waits sarcasm must have
dripped down Mr.. Aliens neck
and burned him up.
Anyway later on during the
luncheon Mr.. Allen was called upon
to gipe q thumbnail sketch Of him
self. They stage it every week
with q different star. The Munich
pal Service Supt. first gave his fell
low KiwanianS a few vital statistics
.. then wound the whole thing up
by quipping, THE rest of the infor-
nation you've already gotten from
that amateur columnist who writes
for . sheet that is distributed all
over town."
It was a good line and drew
Q big laugh. Mr.. Allen contented
sat down and enjoyed his des-
sert. He did it and he was
glad
Although the gathering got a
kick out of the gag line only
Mr.. Allen realized what good nose
thumbing he had delivered to that
amateur" columniSt. Only Mr.. Allen
realized that he had succeeded in
killing a good news story d. and
was now thumbing his nose :. in
gratitude.
It's an old story that dates
back to seven weeks ago when
an amateur columnist killed the
best news story Of the year >. be-
cause Mr.. Allen personally asked 1t
as a favor.
No it doesn't get printed now.
The amateur doesn't operate that
way.
Maybe Mr.. Hoyt Allen realizes
that fact which makes verbal
nose thumbing so much more en-
joyabls.

0PA Due 10 Reveal
Pricing Program on
New Products Today
BY the Associated Press.

~ VAC ASooSAdtcQ EIcSS.
The OPA is ready to put into eff.
feet streamlined pricing program
designed to help speed reconversior
to consumer goods production.
Deputy Price Administrator James
F. Brownlee scheduled a news con-
ference at 3 pm. today to outline a
plan OPA hopes will eliminate any
business hesitancy traceable to un-
certainty about price ceilings fol-
new products.
The program retains the agency's
goal of holding most retail CELL
ings to 1942 levels, although under
certain conditions producers will be
allowed increases over their prices
of three years ago. Wholesalers and
retailers, in many cases, probably
will be required to absorb all OF
part of those increases.
The pricing plan, it is understood,
provides formulas by which individ-
ual companies will be able to deter
mine their ceilings quickly, rather
than waiting for OP Alto work out
industry-wide scales. The new sys-
tenn also calls for speedy approval
of company ceilings to avoid pro-
duction bottlenecks.
Ceilings set for individual firms
will remain in effect until industry
wide maximum prices are estab-
hshed on the basis of cost figures
available when production is fur
ther along. Later, separate adjust
ments would be made in the case
of companies faced with financial
hardship.
The program is designed solely
for manufacturers applying for an
increase over 1912 ceilings to COM

SAFETY SHOULD Be
OBJECTIVE OF
LABOR CONDITIONS

CHICAGO - Promotion OF safety
should be as definite an objective of
labor as wage and working conditions,
said Ned II. Dearborn, president oil
the National Safety Council.
AS guest speaker on Labor, U.SAs"
the American Federation Of Labor's
ABC broadcast, Mr.. Dearborn said
more Americans have been killed by
accidents since Pearl Harbor than were
killed by the armed forces Of Germany
and Japan - 355,0O0 as compared to
POI, COS.
"This squandering of lives at home
is as unnecessary as it is tragic" de-
clared Mr.. Dearborn. Labor, manage
ment and professional safety people
must coordinate their efforts TO apply
our knowledge of accident prevention.
Safe working environments must be
supplemented by an endless, energetic
educational campaign for safe practices
among individual workers.
Labor is in a strategic position to
undertake this task" he said, because
workers understand that unions are
concerned with their safety. Labor
efforts to prevent industrial accidents
began nearly a century ago, reaching Z
climax with the passage Of workmen''
compensation laws early in this century
On many plants the industrial safety
program of the national safety counci
is being Translator into such %coordinateC
action, with good results for both man
agement and labor"
Mr.. Dearborn concluded: IL know
that labor will continue to do all
can during this crucial period Of re
conversion and expansion to free Amer
lean workers from the pain, expens
and tragedy which are the ineyitabl
price of industrial accidents"

Clio BACKS HEALTH
INSURANCE PLAN

CLIO Pres. Philip Murray this week
praised President Truman's newly an
nounced federal health program, point
ing out that the CLIO is already on
record in support of it, including provi-
sions for national compulsory health in
surance and for insurance against loss
in pay due to illness.
The program drew immediate opposi-
ton from the American Medical As
ISOLATION which branded it as Social
lied medicine"-a charge specifically
denied by the president. The program
was supported by the liberal Physicians
Forum, which pointed out the tens OF
thousands Of doctors soon will be re-
turning to civilian practice.
Now" the Forum said, is the right
moment to set up such a system Of ma
tional health insurance which will per-
nit an equitable distribution Of doctors
throughout the country, before these
young men flock to the cities, leaving
vast stretches Of the country unpro-
tected."
President Truman, in noting that 80
per cent of those indicted for military
service had been rejected, declared that
the nation cannot afford such a record
and said that health security must be
made available to all-"regardless of
residence, station or race"
Among actions he urged were:
/. Construction of hospitals nd other
health facilities with federal aid and
with minimum standards of operation
to be set by the federal government.
2. Expansion OF public health, ma
ternal and child health services, with
larger federal aid.
3. A broad federal program to stimu.
late medical research and education.
In discussing prepayment Of medi-
cal costs by a compulsory insurance
system that would protect virtually
} every person in the nation, Presiden
Truman said that only 3 to 4 per cen
! Of the population is protected now By
sickness insurance.
4 Under a cost equivalent to about
per cent Of the nations pay roll, tn,
system should provide for dental as wei
as medical care, the president said.
"a system of required prepayment
{ would not only spread the costs o
h medical care; it would also proven
much serious disease" the presiden
declared. "Since medical bills would b,
\ paid by the insurance fund, doctor
would more often be consulted whel
4 the first signs of disease occur instead
of when the disease has become serious,
Z Truman said that provisions of tn
3 plan would not restrict freedom Of pro
4 fessional choice either OF patients o
physicians. THE removal of f~inancia
a barriers between patient and docto
= would enlarge the present freedom o
\ choice" he pointed out.
B The points outlined in the Presi
4 dents message have been incorporate
4 in a bill introduced by Sen. Wayne
y ON. W and Rep. Dingle (D-Mich.)
Montana labor news., 1945-12-20

and what proportion Of that number
will be seriously i'll and to estimate
accurately what the total bill will be.
Health insurance is simply a pro-
gram which provides that this cost be
divided among all workers and be met
in advance by regular payroll deduc-
tons. Such a program would guarantee
to every covered worker that there
would always be money available to
meet the cost of whatever medical care
he or n member Of his family might
need at any time. It would relieve him
Of the necessity of trying to save for
any contingency-which is impossible
on an individual basis-and OF the ex-
cessive cost of borrowing from the
loan shark and from the humiliation Of
appealing to relatives and friends in
time Of need.
The Wagner Murray Dingell bill
provides the medium for setting up just
such a system for the prepayment Of the
cost of medical care. Because there
has been so much misunderstanding
about this provision of the bill-some
of it deliberately inspired-it is in order
to make clear what this part Of the bill
does not do.
It does not substitute a system o.
"socialized medicine" for presen'
system Of medical practice. SocializeC
medicine could only mean placing al
physicians on the government payroll
and placing all health facilities undel
Montana labor news., 1945-12-20

complete control Of the government
their services to be dispensed by diree-
ton Of a government agency. To some
thoughtful people there are reasons
which to them appear sound for doing
just that, but, however sound or un-
sound their reasons may be, the Wag-
r-Murray-D ingell bill attempts moth
ing approaching that kind of system.
It simply provides that, in place Of pay
ing for the services rendered by doc
tors and hospitals, these services are TO
be paid for out Of the insurance fund
in a manner to be determined by ihe
participating doctors and institutions
themselves. The bill specifically pro-
vides that patients are free to choose
their own doctors and doctors are free
either to participate or to refrain from
Montana labor news., 1945-12-20

participating in the system aud like
wise free to accept OF reject any pa
tent.
Nor does the bill establish a bureau
cratic control of medical practice in
Washington. On the contrary. the Sur
geon General "a doctor) who is the
chief administrator, is specifically di-
rected to administer the program in
consultation and cooperation with a
national advisory council. Members Of
this council would be appointed from
panels Of names submitted by profess
sional and other organizations con-
cerned with medical services, educa-
ton, hospitals and others, including
organized labor.
