Bridges Hits Cool Set-Up

Washington, July 30.-(UP)- Sen. Styles Bridges. R.. N. H., to- day condemned proposals to send 6,000,0OO tons of coal to Europe.
 Secretary of Interior Harold L. Ickes set the goal of 6,000,000 tons which he claimed must be shipped to prevent chaos in Europe next win ter.
 Bridges protested that shipment of coal to Europe, including Ger many, would be unfair to New Eng land staets whcih have suffered fuel shortages throughout the war. He demanded that Ickes be questioned when the Senate war Investigating committee opens hearings tomorrow on the coal shortage.
 For months the administration has been warning our own people that this country has neither the coal nor transportation to supply fuel needs in New England area" :" Bridges said. But they seem to have no difficulty in finding 6,000,- 900 tons of coal for Europe, includ- ing the Nazis."
 Bridges said there is adequate coal md labor supply in Germany but the shortage is due in large part "to the arrogant refusad of the en- emy to go to work"

Compulsory sickness insurance, as provided in bills now before Con- gress, was criticized today by re- presentative of the Connecticut State Medical Society, in comment ing on the Appoint program for medical care announced last week by the American Medical Associa- tion.
 Legislation such as the 1945 Wag- r-Murray-Dingell bill', the Socie- tvs spokesman said, would not only dangerously extend the power of the central government but would also seriously impair the quality of med- ical care. Moreover, the demand for tax-supported, government-admin- tered medical service is not general, as the proponents of such measures would have us believe, but is con- centrated in areas where medical care and social services are already highly developed and is lacking in those states where improvement is needed.

 ''The chief needs in this country, particularly in rural sections, he continued, 'are the improvement ot housing and sanitation, the exten- sion of public health services with full-time personnel, the construc- tion of new hospitals and the or ganization of medical service around medical institutions. All of these are emphasized in the American Medical associations Appoint plan. It should be noted also that the first point in the program stresses the economic aspects of the prob lem, calling for sustained produc- tion leading to better living condi- tions with improved housing, nu- triton and sanitation" Other rec concentrations of vital importance are the discharge of physicians from the Armed Forces as rapidly as is consistent with the war effort, federal legislation to permit stu dents to continue medical study by deferment from military service and the increased availability of

WILL B JILL D 0 W N
 LUXURY SHIPS
By ROBERT AHIER United Press Staff Correspondent


 Paris. July 3O-CUP)-France will make great efforts to recapture her passenger shipping service to South America when war is over, the Ministry of Merchant Marine told the United Press recently.
 The head of the naval construc- tion department said to this cor respondent: Tt is very hard for us to make a general plan for the transport of passengers after the war is over, as nobody knows what requirements are going to be. It depends on a lot of things, and especially on the political climate.
 we have not yet decided what we will do on the lines to America, but I may tell you that we will offer passengers a service standing up to the tradition of comfort and luxury of the French lines.
 French shipbuilding yards have been badly damaged. They could start working if we had had mate rials, but these raw materials de- pend on coal production and this is the biggest problem for French economy.
 We will buy some ships in for eign yards, but for the South American luxury lines we will build our own ships because no foreign country can build de luxe ships as we do in France. I may tell you that we do not envisage building any more ships as big and as fast as the Normandy, since they could not compete with the air lines. We will keep to the medium size, around g, 900 tons, with all up-to-date i'm provements."
 In Soviet Orbit
 MT. Yves Marsaudon, assistant director of the Transports Mari times a Vapeur Co.,, who lived for many years in Buenos Aires, said, We have specialized in the trans port of emigrants for years. The difficulty is we do not know if people will emigrate from Poland, Yugoslavia, Romania. Lithuania, which formerly provided the ma jority of this class of passengers. They are now in the Soviet orbit and it cannot be said how much emigration will be possible.
 From Italy, before the Fascist movement was in power, we used to transport a great many who were excellent farmers, to South America, and we hope to do it again.
 ITO start the emigrant traffic we will have the 'Campana,' which can carry HOO emigrants and 250 pas sengers. We had four ships before the war and we want to replace them as soon as possible"
 MT. Vidal, general secretary of the Chargeurs Reunis said. We have four boats to assure this serv- ice to South America, including the 'Pasteur, a 30,000-ton ship which has been transformed into a troop ship; we will commence service again as soon as possible. We are not afraid of air competition. We think that if busy people go by plane there will be a lot of wealthy people who will prefer to take good. comfortable liners, with all their luggage and, perhaps, cars.
 "As for the emigrants, Europe has seen too many interior trou- bles in each country regarding minority groups, such as the Sude- ten Germans, who will want to go abroad to start new life there."

AMC LOCATES ITALIAN HOMES
 FOR ANIM ALS
By ROBERT MEYER

United Press Staff Correspondent
 Rome, July 30. -tUP)-AMG thinks of everything. With the same dispatch exercised in handling the camps for displaced persons in the rest of Europe, camps for displaced animals have been established in Italy.
 Fifth Army's Public Relations Division disclosed that the Fifth Arny's Military Government Ddvi- sion has interviewed" some 10000 horses and mules which were used as slave laborers" by the German Army and have started repatriat- ing them to the little Italian farms, where they already are relieving oxen and women who have been holding down their jobs.
 In an official announcement, the Public Relations Offlce said ANNG had worked out a sort of point system" for displaced horses and asses, based on how many dependents the horse has at home, of course" Then AMG started a huge roundup in the Pc Valley. All the horses were herded into their own "DP" camp and branded with a large "CA," nean- ing captured animal"
 It. Col. Stanley Andrews of Lit- tie Rock, Ark, agricultural oflcer for the Fifth Army, is trying to get 18,OO0 more horses back from Austria to Italy.
 In addition, ANfG is dealing in sheep. There are 15,000 displaced sheep, cattle and goats bleating, mooing and baaing along the Aus trian border.
 Aside from their racket, which must be terrific, there's the clamor raised by currently unemployed shepherds and cowfands, who want to get these animals out of AN1G compounds into their home ranges, and ANfG Is hopeful of ar ranging some sort of international passport for the beasts under the displaced animals program.
