subcommittee points out.
Because of this condition, AZ times
as many man-hours were lost through
illness during this war as were lost
because of strikes. A public which
takes strikes seriously should take
health AZ times as seriously.
A national health survey by the o..
showed that more than 100000
Americans had chronic disease or
physical impairment = 100000 of
them, in the working age group, were
blind, deaf or crippled and another
million had hernia.
The Farm Security Administration,
tipping typical rural counties in II
cent of those examined were in prime
physical condition and 90 per cent
had Significant" physical defects.
The National Youth Administra-
tons study of 1900 young people in
1941 showed that for one in seven the
need for medical or dental treatment
was urgent.
Of the group, IS per cent needed
dental care, 20 per cent eye refrac-
tons, 10 per cent tonsiI removal, and
IL per cent suffered from maInutri-
ton. About one-third had health de-
fects that limited their employabiIity,
and examiners recommended some
treatment for 90 per cent.
These two studies involved low-in-
come groups But the Life Exten-
sion Institute, in a study of 100000
policyholders who presumably repre-
sented income groups which did not
include the lowest levels in their num-
erical proportion, found that SO per
cent needed medical or dental atten-
ton.
Sewage and sanitation are badly
neglected, the subcommittee found.
More than 100000 900 Americans live
in communities with inadequate sew
age treatment or none at all. More
than 100000 rural homes need new
or improved water supplies and an
equal number need sanitary privies.
Mary communities also need milk
pasteurization plants.
The distribution of private health
services is far from adequate. Low
income groups get only one-half to
one-third as much medical care as
higher groups.
About per cent of the counties in
the United States, mostly rural either
have no physician or have more than
5000 persons per physician, making
adequate medical attention out of the
question.
Forty per cent of American counties
have no registered hospitals and even
among the other 60 per cent many
hospitals are inadequately equipped
stated and financed
The recommendation of the sub
committee are highly conservative,
calling merely for correction of the
worst of these defects Immediately.
Prepayment of medical care is men
toned as subject for further con-
sideration, and institutionalization of
medical practice is advised.

REPORT OF WORK
IN SUPREME
COURT FOR week
DECISIONS:

February 5th-Robert w. Johnson
v. Meaaher County and others. Ap-
pealed from Meagher county, White
Sulphur Springs. Unanimous opinion
prepared by Justice Albert H. Angst
man.
Held: Where the federal govern
ment allows the state to tax national
bank shares in but one of several
ways. and where Montana had earlier
adopted an ad valorem method of tax
ing those shares, it was held that the
passing later of an income tax law
did not apply to the income from
national bank shares and that the IN
cone tax law did not, as contended
by the plaintiff, repeal the ad valorem
tax. The construction sought by the
plaintiff would be unconstitutional be-
cause there is nothing in the title OF
the act which discloses that there is
a repeal of the ad valorem tax.
February 9th-OtheI cline v. Ralph
TAFT and National Surety Company.
Appealed from Cascade county, Great
Falls. Opinion of the court prepared
by Justice Edwin K. Cheadle. Justice
Hugh R. Adair dissented.
Held: In an action to recover dam
ages for false Imprisonment and
where the plaintiff recovered $4,5OO.OO,
it was held that that amount was ex-
cessive, that the evidence did not dis
close that the plaintiff was damaged
in that amount. The cause was re-
manded for a new trial unless within
thirty days after the remittitur is filed
with the clerk of the district court,
the plaintiff shall agree to accept
S1,500.00 In such event the judgment
as modified will stand affirmed.
February 10th - James Graham ".
State Board of Examiners. An orig
inal proceeding arising out of facts
occurring in Lewis and Clark county.
Opinion of the court per curtain. JUS
tice Hugh R. Adair dissented.
Held: Where the legislature passed
an act appropriating 100000 to pay
for architect fees and specified that
such payment should come out of the
surplus moneys now in the state treas
ury and not out of current revenues
and where the attorney general had
given his opinion that such could not
be done, it was held in a suit for
declaratory judgment that the legisla-
ture could appropriate those surplus
moneys and that the act was valid.

Gillette Is Chairman of
Surplus Property Board

Former Sen. Guy. M. Gillette has
been designated chairman of the Sur
plus Property Board by the President
acting on the recommendations of the
other two members, Edward H. Heller
and Robert A. Hurley
Meantime, there are interesting in
dications that attempts will be made
to modify the Surplus Property Act
which only now has gone into opera
ton. Under attack are preferences
given to government bodies, veterans,
former owners, and farmers.

cash, government bonds, surplus re-
serves and profits.
Industry has shown it can produce
for war, with government underwrit-
ing; it must not be permitted post
war sit-down strike.
2. There are about 60 million peo-
pie in families receiving family in
come of less than 2,500-averaging
four to a family and many of these
families have an income of less than
1000
The federal government can raise
| $50 billion a year, during the war
economy, without taxing people with
incomes below health minimum.
The gap of $35 billion year be-
tween disposable income and consum-
ers' goods available, can be reduced
by taxation, and lessen danger of in
flation.
Corporation profits above taxes,
were in 1914 nearly SO billion, and
during the war corporations have in
creased their surplus reserves by
about $40 billion.
Almost 979o of the 1922 million net
income of the 226 persons having net
incomes over 100000 in 1871, was
from ownership or control of property.
The larger the income, the larger
the proportion from property.
A 10 tax on the selling price of
land, could produce $3.50 million.
Neither sales taxes nor other con-
sumption taxes are necessary or wise.
8. The increase in farm production
during the war has been remarkable,
but more is needed--for at least two
years.
Direct government payment to mar
ginal farmers for essential foods is
the most practical way to get this, as
past experience shows.
Prices for most farm products are
high enough.
Net cash farm income averaged
nearly SO billion for the four years
194144-or two and half times the
average for the five pre-war years.
A. In 1912, profits of the major meat
packers were four times the pre-war
level the profits of the big Gamers
of fruits and vegetables were five
times those in pre-war years.
Similar profits were made by han
dlers of milk, manufacturers of milk
products and of cereals, and by whole
sale bakers and flour mills.
The Office of Price Administration,
which has prevented such price rises
as in World War has only one sixth
of the funds needed for enforcement.
Congress has forbidden OPA to en-
force grade labelling
Grade labelling is essential to en-
sure quality.
Price involves quality-as much as
dollars and cents.
5. War can be prevented only by
social ownership or public control of |
all basic industries, and international
controls of natural resources and 9TH
er basic materials, of ocean borne |
commerce, war equipment, markets |
and currencies.
The British Labor Party is com
mitted to major social ownership at |
home, and an Association of Nations,
"the collective. authority off, which
must transcend in the economic
sphere, the rights of separate ma
tions."

affiliated with international cartels,
indicted by the Department of Justice
for violation of antitrust laws, have
assets of about $3.50 million; one
tenth of assets of all manufacturing
corporations.
International government by inter-
national cartels, threatens.
The practical alternative is social
national and international controls.
The economic system with which
America and Britain end this war, will
vitality effect the postwar world.

FUNDS FOR HART
(NEE DIES) COMMITTEE
The house this week gave the per-
manent committee on un-American
activities $4,000 for salaries of a
clerk. two assistant clerks, and jan
itor. This is the regular minimum
staff provided for all standing com
mittees.
Congressman Rankin made bit of
fuss on the floor, announcing that
he would want a lot of money for
investigators and assistant investiga-
tors we are bound to have to pursue
the Investigations of un-American ac-
tivities." This request, he said, would
come later However, Chairman Hart
did not back him up.
At the same time Congressman
Hook of Michigan introduced a reso-
luton to set rules of conduct for the
committee. Apparently referring to
activities of the unlamented Martin
Dies, one rule proposed that no mem
Der or employee should make money
out of lecturing or writing on the
work of the committee.
Hook said he will still press for his
resolution abolishing the committee
altogether.
