Congress Gets New
Health Bill

WASHINGTON, d. C.-Senator
James E. Murray, Democrat OF
Montana, introduced in the Sem
ate Last Tuesday a compulsory
health insurance bill containing
safeguards to insure equitable
participation of minority groups
in the program.
In addition to Senator Murray,
the bill is sponsored by Senators
Claude Pepper of Florida, Dennis
Chavez of New Mexico, Glen Tay-
lor of Idaho, and j. Howard Nc
Grath of Rhode Island, all Dem
ocrat.
The new bill is based on the
national health insurance bill Of
1915. which was revised in the
light of suggestions and chitic-
ism made at hearings held by the
Senate Education and Labor Com
mittee last year.
Accordingt Senator Murray,
IS per cent, or more of the pop
ulation would be insured under
the proposed program. The groups
which would be included in a sys-
tenn of compulsory health insur-
ance include all employed and self
employed persons, including all EN-
playees in industry commerce, ag-
riculture and domestic service and
persons receiving social security
and divil service pensions and
others.
Medical and dentol care from
the family doctor and the special
list, home nursing, hospital care,
and such special services as lab
oratory and X-ray would be pro
vided through the insurance sys-
tenn.
Every qualified doctor dentist,
and hospital would be guaranteed
the right to participate.
The new bill would give to the
states administration of the sys-
tenn for it's own population, if it
met certain minimum conditions.
One of these conditions is that it
must establish a local health SER
vice areas, with local committees
of representative citizens and pro-
fessional committees to assist in
administration.
Federal administration wauld
be in the hands of a five man
board including three full time
members to be appointed by the
President and approved by the
Senate, and in addition the Sur
geon general of the Public Health
Service and Commissioner for Soc
ial Security.

BAT CHAMPS

NEW YORK, Sept. 23.-tR-Har- ry Walker of the Philadelphia Phil lies and Ted Williams Of the Boston Red Sox appear assured of winning the National and American League batting championships going into the final week of the season.
 Walker, the fellow the St. Louis Cards traded to Philadelphia for Ron Northey in early season, is hitting 362, enjoying a Appoint bulge over runnerup Ralph Kiner, Pittsburgh's home run king. Walker has been out of action with sore back but is expected to play most of the clubs remaining games.
 Williams average of .342, like Walkers based on averages includ- ing Sundays games, seems to be enough to last him through the sea- sen end September 28. The Red Sox slugger, making late season spurt has a Appoint edge on Philadel- phia's Barney McCosky in the race to succeed the defending cham pion, Mickey Vernon of Washington.

LAST WEEK OF PLAY IN
 pc LEAGUE
Seals Trying 10 CIin1h Pen. ndnf with Angels Right
 on Their Heels
(By The Associated Press)

The long 184-game) Pacific Coast League season winds up this week with league-leading San Francisco trying to clinch the pennant in seven games at San Diego while sec ond place Los Angeles tries to over come a one-game deficit in seven tries at Sacramento.
 The Seals having taken a 13-8 edge in previous games with San E.ego, their chances of holding the lead appeared good. The Angels have won only 10 while losing II to Sacramento this year.
 Portland and Oakland have clinched the third and fourth spots putting them in the Presidents Cup playoffs, but there's still doubt as to which will finish where The Beav- CTS, leading the Oaks by one game, finish up at Hollywood. The Oaks entertain Seattle at home.
 A win for San Francisco and a loss for Portland tonight would automatically dispel the Beavers last pennant hopes The Beavers trail the Seals by six games.
