Medics Rap
AMA's Plan

WASHINGTON, Dec. II LPA)
The proposals of the American
Medical Assn. for a voluntary
national health program are to-
tally inadequate" and President
Truman's proposals for a ma
tional compulsory health insur-
ance program should be passed
by Congress, a national body Of
physicians stated last week.
Commenting on the AMA's
plan, DIR. Ernst Boas, chairman
of Physicians Forum, said that:
"Over 40% of the counties in
our country have no satisfactory
general hospital, which fact in
itself makes it impossible for any
voluntary health insurance plan
to be adequate for the nation.
Furthermore, the lower income
groups have three times as much
sickness as those in the higher
brackets but are only able to
spend one-third as much on
medical care.
Since 500 of all the families
earn less than $4,000 year, it is
to expect anything
approaching the needed medic
al care under a purely voluntary
systm where costs are fixed re-
gardless of income.

Open The
Door
by Ruth Taylor

"The door to the human heart
can be opened only from the in
side"
l found that sentence tucked
away at the bottom of the page
of the magazine l was reading
on the train. l tore it out and
tucked it away for safekeeping
- for through that doorway /
could see so many vistas.
The doorway to the human
heart - l think it is like one of
those fascinating glass doors
that swing open mysteriously as
you pass a hidden light. l think
that only from the depths of our
own desire to understand, desire
to think Selflessly, can we meet
in perfect communion the minds
of others. If we 60 up to them
with preconceived prejudices,
with instructive diSlikes, we
will not pass the light. The door
will not open and no outer
key will unlock it.
But if in a warmth of spirit,
in a feeling off friendliness and
with warm and understanding
heart, we approach our neigh
Dor, the door will spring wide
open. 1t is next to impossible to
hate person we know. The
wells of understanding are too
deep and forgiving.
If we really love life, and
laughter. fair play and good fell
lowship, we will have no room
for prejudice or cruelty. There
will be no space left for misun-
derStanding. If we really want
for others what we want for our
selves = happiness and an op-
portunity to grow, we will face
the adventure that is alive in a
spirit of friendliness for our
neighbor. Because we have
opened our hearts, our neigh
bor's heart will be opened unto
us.
Just imagine what world
this would be if we could bring
ourselves to stop distrusting our
neighbor. And just imagine what |
it would be like if he felt COM
plete trust in us? Utopian? Yes
- but is it more impossible than
he things that have already |
come to pass in the world?
Understanding of our neigh
oor's needs, awareness of his
self-restraint against |
nisjudging or generalizing about |
1im, willingness to work with |
1im-- and above all and through |
all the spirit of friendliness. -
hat is the secret ray which will |
open the door of any heart.

Reuther pointed out that "the

WASHINGTON (LPl

WASHINGTON (LPA)-Some
new interpretations of current
Administration wage stabiliza-
ion policy were announced by
Sterilization Administrator John
c. Collet last week. Only signi-
ficant change would allow in
creases in average straight time
hourly earnings to compensate
for rises in the cost of living up
to 339o of the Jan. 1941 level.
Such wage adjustments as
we'll as other covered categories
under the new rules may be
taken into consideration in de-
termining price and rent cell
ings, though it is up to OPA to
decide whether or not an in
crease is warranted.

Weir+on Charged
With Contempt

WEIRTON, w. Va, Dec. 12-
| (LPA)-Finishing touches were
put on the Natl. Labor Relations
Board case against the Weirton
Steel Corp. last week.
The Corporation is charged
with refusing to stop supporting
company union as was ordered
by the NLRB and upheld by the
courts.
The testimony brought out by
NLRB attorney with regard to
the anti-labor tactics of the COM
pany could have been taken
from the files of the LaFollette
Committee a decade ago. But
these events occurred in 1943
and 1914.
Police Ignore Requests
The case which the Board
made out against the company
showed that mobs of strong
armen on the company'S payroll
violently attacked men and wo-
men distributing leaflets outside
the gates of the steel corporation
for the United Steelworkers-
CIO. Despite requests for pro-
lection, so-called public peace
officers made no attempt to re-
strain the violence occurring in
their presence.
A highlight of the Boards
case was the testimony of an FBI
expert that the payrolls of the
company had been altered to
show that men identified as hav-
ing been in the mob of attackers
were not paid during the time of
the violence. Actually the FBI
investigation disclosed that the
company had originally credited
the men for the time spent in
breaking up the distribution of
leaflets.
The con e m pt proceedings
was adjourned until Feb. 1946 |
to permit the company and the
independent Union" charged |
by the NLRB with being a COM
pany union, to prepare its case.
The current hearing is the latest
stage in case which started be-
fore the NLRB in 1887.
