HOSPITALS WILL BE able TO keep
OUT OF RED when HEALTH BILL
BECOMES A Law
WILL BE RELIEVED OF MUCH FREE CARE OF PATIENTS
FINANCES WILL BE SUCH THAT SATISFACTORY
HELP WILL NO LONGER BE A PROBLEM

The National Health act of 1915 Is
1906 and H R. 473O) includes a plal
for national prepaid personal healtl
service for gainfully employed work
ers and their families. In addition tt
general practitioner, specialist and lab
oratory and related services (and dent
al and home-nursing services), the bill
provides for necessary hospital care
up to 60 days a year for each family
member; if funds permit, hospitaliza
ton may be extended up to 120 days
All hospitals may participate in the
program if they meet general stan
dards set up by the surgeon general
after consultation with an advisory
council.
Under the bill, each hospital may
choose how it is paid. 1t can be paid
directly from the insurance fund. Or
else it can submit its bill to the pa
tient and the patient will receive a
reimbursement from the fund.
The bill provides that the surgeon
general shall exercise no supervision
or control over a participating hos
pital and that requirements for par
ticipation shall not prescribe the adj
ministration, personnel, or operation
of any non federal hospital.
For the participating hospitals, the
provisions of the bill would mean
Relief From Strain of Meeting
Operating Costs
Even in the period of wartime pros
perity, with it's increased demand for
hospital care accompanied by in
creased ability-to-pay on the part of
the public, the strain of keeping "out
of the red" persisted for many hos
pitfalls. Assurance of payment for the
hospital care of many patients who
are unable to pay, would mean greater
assurance of balancing the hospital
budget A contingency fund, such as
that which would be established I'M
der a health insurance system, would
assure stability of income to hospit-
ais during the ups and downs of the
business cycle. Since higher occupancy
rates would result from the insurance
hospital income would be
Relief From Burden of Providing
Free Care
Hospitals would be guaranteed pay
nent for essential care for insured |
patients, regardless of the patients
ability to pay. If public welfare agen-
,ies bring NEEDY persons" into the
program, free or part-free care would

Supreme Court Role Is Heartening
On the legal front the United States
supreme court is still playing a heart

on legislation regulating utilities. 1t
recently held constitutional the death
sentence" clause of the Utility Hold

1885. The death sentence" clause
gives the Securities and Exchange
commission authority to order the
breaking up and indignation of the
holding company systems.
The clause was contested by the
North American company, one of the
biggest and most scandal-rid-
den holding companies. Justice Frank
Murphy wrote the unanimous decision,
holding that utility practices were
found to be polluting the channels of
interstate commerce"

Germans Still Control Spanish
Industry
I'm sure Poland and the other coun-
tries know all about the way Germans
still control Spanish industry. Our
state department could tell U.N. of
what happened May 4, 1915, three days
before We Day. On that day the Ger.
man foreign office in Madrid distrib.
uted $32,000,000 to various Spanish
firms. These were mining and ship
building plants. They retain their
Spanish names, but actually German
interests own them.
Eyes the state department knows
this. The state department agent who
was there in Madrid that day and who
this information to our state
told me this story.
To-day, l. G. Farben, the great Ger
man corporation which financed Hit
Ter, is dead-in Germany. But this was
an octopus with long arms stretching
all over the world one of its greedi-
est arms holds the whole Spanish
chemical industry tightly This is
worth about $15O,000,0OO There are
documents proving that Farben con-
trolls this industry under Spanish
names. Now these are all German as
sets which we should take over under
our policy of demilitarizing Germany,
just as we took over all war plants
in Germany However, to date Franco
has not permitted to take these as
sets over"

If, pretty soon now, we find ouI
costs of living rocketing skyward In
a dizzy spiral, and know that sooner
or later we will all crash together as
we did in 1929, we may then get
around to asking ourselves why we
have been stupid enough to allow con-
gress to kill price controls.
The answer to this question is as
simple as it is painful. We have not
been responsible citizens. We have
allowed the 'me-first' mania to eff
fectively prevent long-term realization
of the good of the people as whole.

Wants Disarmament

Despite the lessons of disarmament
following World War I, Senator Willard
Tydings Of Maryland has introduced
legislation which would require total
disarmament, except for minimum ma
tional defense, and authorize President
Truman to invite all governments into
conference with this end in view. Mr..
Tydings insists the UNO's action for
control of atomic energy could never
succeed, and declares the great powers
are heading directly toward World War
III.
The historic disarmament conference
following the former World War is not
so remote that it's sessions at Washing
ton are forgotten. It was hailed gener-
ally as the start of the Millennium.
Newspapers viewed it as the greatest
movement for universal and permanent
peace the nations could launch. From
the pulpit and the lecture platform,
on street corners, in living rooms and
clubs,~it was praised to the skies. But
the conference had hardly adjourned
than Germans of the military caste
were plotting World War II without
fear of interruption because no other
nation was militarily strong enough
to oppose them.
Mr.. Tydings is too sensible man
to assume that the disposition of man.
kind has undergone material change
for the better, as result of World
War II. He must know that disar1na-
ment is an invitation to war. He also
must understand the utter impossi-
bility of forcing all nations to disarm
as completely as he proposes.
Since that first murder in Eden,
mankind has been fighting. Until the
actual Millennium comes men will 60
on fighting. This does not mean that
World War III is inevitable. It means
that the way to prevent it is to be pre-
pared for attack at home and ready
to nip the first warlike action any
where in the world in the bud.
Because this is so obvious, it is the
harder to account for Senator Tyding's
action.

March Of Dimes Dance

New Hanover county's March of
Dimes campaign is to close tonight with
a dance at the Cape Fear Armory. Pa
irons who purchase tickets in advance
will be charged $3.50. If they wait to
buy them at the door the price will be
So.
Because the cause for which the
money will go is among the greatest
humanitarian undertakings of the coun-
try, this is one time patrons are not
urged to buy early and save money.
The fact is, the more who wait until
they arrive at the Armory the larger
will the county's contribution be, and
whatever the quota the total given can
not be too large.
The March of Dimes is one of the
principal means of financing the fight
against infantile paralysis, which has
manned so many children and filled
so many graves. Certainly no one can
make peace with his conscience without
being donor.
Throughout the day the recepticles
which have been on duty at so many
places throughout the city for several
weeks will remain at their accustomed
stations. Residents who cannot attend
the dance are invited, for their own
peace of mind as we'll as the good their
contributions may do, to deposit in them
al the cash in their pockets.
And to help more substantially, try
to attend the dance, or at least buy q
ticket - preferably at the door. That
extra fifty cents is well worth giving

Let's Adjourn Politics

AS an actual fact nobody can say
with certainty that the return of the
federal employment service to the states
a year earlier than President Truman
wished is wise. Nor is it possible to
determine with any exactitude whether
the Presidents view is the right one.
It is strictly in the realm of specula-
ton. He may be right. The House may
be right. In either case only the out
come could settle the point.
What is especially significant, how
ever, is that the action of the House
shows the cleavage between Capitol
Hill and the White House, which is
steadily widening. This particular bill
may not receive Senate approval. But
if it should, Mr.. Truman would prob
ably veto it and so drive the wedge
deeper.
The President has drafted a legis-
lative program which in many ways
will not be acceptable to Congress. He
is obviously sincere in his views and
his purpose to benefit the nation, but
has accepted advice which will make it
increasingly difficult to maintain even
average harmony between the executive
and legislative branches of government.
What is needed, if we are to come
through these parlous times with credit,
is greater willingness at both ends of
Pennsylvania avenue to thrash out the
nations problems together. We cannot
hope for much with each cultivating
stubbornness.
Perhaps what is needed most of all
is for the President and members of
Congress to forget the fall elections
and the national ballot in 1948. At this
time there are matters requiring at
tention which are infinitely more i'm
portant than politics.
