OhAtCu AES8 OEOA s3
 Boston, Sept. l2-(UP)-Director Robert Murphy of the American Baseball Guild prepared today for post-season battle with organized baseball to make the new player owner committees prove their le- gality.
 The union director yesterday filed charges of unfair labor practices against the Boston Red Sox and the Boston Braves. Within the next week, he will bring similar charges against the New York Yankees and Giants, the Philadelphia Athletics and Phillies, and the Brooklyn Dodgers.
 Specifically, the Guild alleges that the management of the Bos- ton clubs dominated and interfered with the formation and admins tration Of player-owner commit tee, and contributed financial and other support to it." The charges were filed with the Massachusetts Labor Relations Commission.
 company OnlOn!
 In support of his claim that the new player-owner committees are illegal, Murphy said:
 According to state labor laws, it is illegal for a company to sug- gest to its employees the formation of union, and to render financial and other assistance in setting up such a union. That is exactly what the big league club owners did"
 All 16 major league club owners are equally culpable," Murphy en- phasized, but he Is confining his legal action to clubs situated in states that have labor relations laws.
 The National Labor Relations Board already has declined jurisdic- tion in guild cases against the Pittsburgh Pirates and Washington Senators.
 Murphy said the Massachusetts Labor Relations Commission would schedule an informal conference between the Guild and the man. agement of the Boston clubs. Later, if necessary, formal hearing will be held and evidence presented.
 The commission has authority to force the Red Sox and Braves play CTS to quit the player-owner con- mittee in their respective leagues.

DickeyGives UpAs Pilot

Detroit, Sept. 12 - (UP) - Bill Dickey, one of the greatest Yankees of them all, joined the legion today of star players who have failed as managers.
 The greatest catcher in the game for more than decade said that he had told the New York Yankees general manager, Larry MacPhail, that he had taken enough as pilot of the club and that he didn't want to be considered for the job in 1947."
 Dickey, as quiet and efficient as manager as he had been as a player, lacked the fire and spark that MacPhail had hoped he would engender into the Yankee team when he was named to succeed Joe Mccarthy on May 24.
 Couldn't Match Red Sox
 The Yankees, to preseason choice of the experts to win the American League pennant, were unable from the start to match the fast pace of the Boston Red Sox and Mccarthy resigned after 16-season career following disastrous western road trip.
 AS in McCarthy'S case, the slump of the Yankees on a western road trip, also prompted Dickey to make the fateful decision not to carry on. The Yankees, who have lost four straight games, dropped into third place behind the Detroit Tigers Tuesday, and open a series here to- day in which they will attempt to regain the runner-up spot.
 There had been numerous reports that the outspoken MacPhal had not been satisfied with the progress of the club, although at no time had he publicly blamed either Mo Carthy or Dickey for its failure to challenge the Red Sox more vigor- ously.
 However, earlier this week he ap- pointed major league veteran in the managing field, Stanley (Bucky) Harris as an executive assistant, giving rise to reports that the for mer boss of the Washington Sena- tors, Boston Red Sox, Detroit Tigers, and Philadelphia Phillies might re- turn as field leader of the Yankees.
 To Report to MacPhail
 McPhail said that Harris will ''be liaison man between the team and myself; he will watch the Yankees play, do some scouting and turn suggestions in to me-"
 Shortly after Dickey became manager there were published re- ports of dissension on the club which prompted Second Baseman Joe Gordon to call an unprecedent- ed dressing room press conference and deny that there had been any trouble.
 Gordon had been mentioned as a central figure in the clique which dldn't support Dickey and he cate gorically denied it.

Medical Association has got by about
long enough with it's blanket broad
sides. Gentlemen, what do you mean
when you say "socialized medicine?
Be specific!
Does the United States Public
Health Service practice medicine?
Again, it depends upon what you
mean. But if prevention or cure have
anything to do with it, the AMA,ought
to look into what the USPHS is doing
to find cures for some of the most
battling diseases-as well as look
into it's prevention work.
What the ANA does is a good deal
like saying that "the French are a
volatile people,. Some are and some
are not. Blanket indictments usually
are faulty.
Once it was customary to say that
"newspapermen are drunks." It never
was true. Some were; some were not.
Ditto with painters and printers.
Opponents Of anything should de-
scribe that which they oppose.
Shall we say that Army and Navy
doctors and hospitals constitute social
lied medicine? They are run by "the
state, for the Army and Navy are
subject to control by the civilian
branches Of the government.
The Army and Navy are practic-
ing medicine all over the place and
they have done and are doing grand
work, on the whole. And many doc
tor, having been through the war with
the armed services, is a better doctor
for the vast experience. Many a sur
geon is better surgeon.

The unions presented fountain pens

agreement was printed in little book

Following the signing the unions
entertained the employers at lunch

on the part of the employers come
time ago. There were many express
sions by both sides of mutual conf
dence and belief in the harmonious
future of the industry.

BIG SUGAR STRIKE

Washington, D. G. (ILNS). Agree
ment On a wage increase of Is cents

in the plants Of large sugar refining
companies producing more than half
Of the country's cane sugar. AFL and
CIO workers benefit by the higher
pay. -
The agreement affected the Ma
tional and American Sugar Refining
Co.'s. It was announced by Edgar L.
Warren, chief Of the U. s. Concilia-
tion Service, after a weekend mid
night conference broke up after the
midnight strike deadline passed.
Plants of the National and Ameri-
can companies are at Baltimore, Bos-
ton, Philadelphia and Long Island, N.
Y. Together they produce about 60
percent of the country's cane sugar.
The wage adjustment, retroactive
in general to Feb. Is, is subject to
approval Of the Wage Sterilization
Board.

Schwellenbach Asks
Boost In Old Age,
Survivors, Aid

Washington, D. C.-Expansion of
the old-age and survivors, insurance
coverage and liberalization of the
cash benefit was recommended by Sec
retary of Labor Schwellenbach in his
appearance before the House Ways
and Means Committee.
The benefits of the program, the
secretary said, should be extended to
all gainfully employed persons and he
stressed that the time has arrived,
the employees of educational, chari-
table and himilar nonprofit organiza-
tions
Mr.. Schwellenbach urged that the
minimum benefit be raised from $40
a month to $40, and the maximum
from $85 to $12O He said:
at needs no persuasion to demon
strate how pitifully inadequate is $38
month for retired man and his
wife, Insurance benefits must bear
some relationship to the needs of the
beneficiary.
Moreover, the drastic rise in the
cost of living since the benefit scheme
was enacted in 1889 has eaten away
substantial part of even those low
benefits"
Commenting on increased prices of
essentials, Mr. Schwellenbach said
that the effect has been reduction
in real benefits of at least 35 percent
since 1882 He added:
81 also recommend that the commit
tee consider reducing the age at which
women may qualify for benefits from
65 to 60 years. This recommendation
is based on the well-known fact that
wives are ordinarily younger than
husbands. And, as the Social Security
Board has frequently pointed out, of
the married men who reach 65 each
year, less than 20 percent have wives
who have reached the age of 65."

Maybe there is something about
medicine that would be injured by GER
tain governmental practices. Maybe.
But let us know just what it is.
Would government operation Of
hospitals be detrimental to patients
interests?
If that is the idea, then let the op-
ponents say so-and let them at the
same time see whether municipality
owned hospitals have given us hurt
full results.
Would the government doctor be
somehow more inept, or less COM
petent, or lazier, than the company
doctor? How, and above all, why?
Let's get at the facts, the specific,
