Relief agency
gives class in
S. stretching

The plan to put more stretch
in the relief dollar proposed
last week by Department of
Welfare Commissioner A. E,
Rose, requires a stretch-of the
imagination.
A spokesman for the Depart
ment of Welfare outlined the
plan, explaining:
''Under the plan homemak-
ers hired by the Department
will teach families handled by
our agency to shop SO as to get
the most for their money!"
Since the dollar is now
worth about So cents according
to government agencies, the
average family of four receiv.
ing $140 monthly from the De-
partment of Welfare, actually
receives a real weekly income
of $31.76.
This figure is about $14 lower
per week than the minimum
? required income Gor a below
minimum standard of living
estimated by the spokesman for
big business, the National As
ISOLATION of Manufacturers.

Oil jobbers seek IL. S. probe
of monopolistic practices

oil producers, and justify recent
price increases.
Jobbers, however, from their
own experience, have ground to
be more than skeptical about such
claims. Typical of their reaction
was the action of the South Caro-
lima Oil Jobbers Assn, which
asked the Dept. of Justice to I'M
dertake an immediate inquiry to
determine whether 'monopolistic
practices or activities otherwise in
violation of the federal antitrust
law exist"
The million-dollar s1ush fund
was branded by the jobbers as a
program of propaganda designed
to impress the general public with
justification for recent increases
of price under the camouflage of
a public relations program.

BY THE PHYSICIANS FORUM

In the propaganda against leg
islation for nationwide prepaid
health insurance, organized medi-
cine has used the argument that
the patients freedom of choice
of physician" would be Destroyer.
We wonder if the American Medi-
cal Association has ever seriously
considered the meaning of Gree
dom of choice of physician" for
the Individual patient under our
present system of medical care.
To many who cannot afford to
pay for a private physician this
freedom of choice is an empty
privilege. The working man in
need of medical care or the un-
employed worker unable to af-
ford the services of "a family
doctor in these days of sky high
meat prices and so-called vol
untarY rent increases. is forced
TO attend the out-patient clinic
of a city hospital. Here he has
very little to say about the
choice of his physician.
To those more fortunate, who
can afford a private physician's
services this freedom of choice
is not as helpful to the patient
as the ANA would have us be-
lieve. The millions of people liv-
ing in rural areas where there is
an acute shortage of physicians
are often able to choose the only
physician living in their commu.
nifty or none at all.
MOREOVER. freedom of the
patient to choose his physician il
itself does not guarantee that the
patient will choose wisely. Since
the average patient is not in a po
sition to judge what is high quail

Vacuum Cleaners

The postwar vacuum cleaner
market offers nothing very differ
ent from the pre-war cleaners,
according to Consumer Reports,
but you will probably have to pay
from $40 to SIS more for a
cleaner than you did before the
war.
In tests of 35 cleaners, up
right, tank and stand, Consumers
union found price differences of
from SIS to $40 among cleaners
which were very similar in clean
ing ability and construction, with
the price advantage often on the
side of less well-known brands.
The choice between uprights and
tanks should depend upon what is
required of the cleaner. Uprights
are likely to offer much faster
dirt removal for rugs but attach
ments are relatively difficult to
use; tanks have the ability to do
a variety of cleaning jobs.
Among the high quality, widely
sold upright vacuum cleaners listed
in the Reports were Apex Model
COL $69.50, and Hoover %, $69.95.
High quality tank-type cleaners
included Electrolux, $69.75, and
Sears Kenmore Model 772, $3.50
plus postage.

quality has increased and prices
have remained the same, while
the berries have gone up in price
but not in quality since they were
tested a year ago. Ratings were
based on the Dept. of Agriculture's
standards for flavor, color, tender
ness, maturity and absence of de-
fects.
Birds Eye headed the list in
terms of both quality and general
availability. Their packaging along
with that of many other brands
was more than adequate, while
unbranded products tended to be
badly packed. Other brands which
deserve honorable mention, on the
basis of tests, are Cedargreen,
Dewkist, Flav-R-Pac, Pratt's, Sea-
brook Farms and Sparklets.

Time means money especially in

you can, to gain time in the sun

Cleaning easier
with good tools

Good workmen need good tools
and that goes for housekeepers
too.
Even an ordinary broom needs
an occasional shampoo. 1t can be
washed in warm, soapy water.
Rinse well, shake brislkly and hang
up to dry. Hang it by the handle
so that the straw doesn't rest on
the floor. Better not try to hurry
the drying by hanging the broom
in the sun. Both the hot sun and
freezing temperatures will cause
the fibers to weaken.
Cleaning brushes are washed in
the same way. They, too, should
be hung up to dry at room tenn
perature to protect the fibers.
Sponges and dust mops used for
cleaning should be soft. These also
should be kept clean by an occa-
sional warm shampoo.
Carpet and vacuum sweepers
will soon lose their vigor if they
aren't cleaned often. Dust should
be removed regularly. and the
brushes of the hand sweeper
should be kept clear of threads
and other forms of dirt.

Choosing a physician presents
a wide variety Of problems

job even for experts-he chooses
his physician for reasons other
than those assuring the receipt of
good medical care. Often the Sc
lection is made solely on the basis
of the convenient location of the
doctors office. Perhaps as often
a doctor is chosen on the basis of
friends well-meaning but I'M
informed advice.
The patients ollie m m a in
choosing a physician may be
partly accounted for by the as
sumption that has been made
by state licensing boards that
all physicians licensed to prac-
tice medicine remain equally
well-qualified from the date of
their icensure on. Those who
graduated in the horse-and-
buggy doctor days and who
have not been able to keep up
with the scientific developments
in modern medicine and better
trained physicians who have
taken postgraduate courses are
equally competent in the eyes
of the law.
freedom of choice of physi-
clan" will become more meaning
full for the patient when his free
dom includes ability to pay for g
doctor of his choice, when his
choice is between doctors of equal
and high proficiency, and wher
medical practice is organized or
group basis to insure the patient
the highest quality care. Far from
destroying the patients freedom
of choice of physician, a system
of nationwide prepaid health in
surance such as proposed by tn,
Murray-Wa Bill would in
crease it.

Alaska Development Board --- Honest Constructive Project!

TT SEEMS TO US that the goose which has laid a golden egg for the people of the Territory of Alaska is about to be cooked.
 Wednesday, in the Senate of the Territorial Legisla ture, Senators O. D. Cochrane and Joe Green introduced bill abolishing the Alaska Development Board.
 If the life death of the Board depended solely upon the amount of saving during 1946 of millions of dollars for increases in freight rates denied the steamship panes, there would alternative but to continue to support the noble effort.
 In addition to the foregoing rate savings, there numerous projects which the Board has in progress: the lumber industry pull lpwood and paper processing and many others in which the Board is spending siderable time and very little money in endeavor to develop the economy of the Territory.
 We may be wrong but, we firmly believe that there has been single group in the Territory of Alaska which has done more for development and economy than this same Alaska Development Board.
 The Board, in spite of personalities has carried it's burden to the nth degree against hndrances placed in the way by those who would crucfy for personal it's various members; but who cannot and have offered word of assistance constructive criticism
 If you the voters and citizens of Alaska agree with the foregoing it up to you, and me- to let the delegates to the Legislature, from your division, know that you wish the board to continue the good work and have the delegates support and assist the boards efforts.

The London truckers strike be- came a rebellion. Thousands of other union workers walked out in protest against the use of troops to distribute food supplies. That con- fronts the British labor govern ment with the most serious crisis it has faced. Its own supporters turned against it. But the chal- lenge to it's authority was one the government cannot ignore and survive.
 Sympathetic strikes against the use of troops to distribute essen- tial food supplies in London are strikes against the government.

ShackIes Of Language
(The Denver POSt)


 FOR MANY YEARS the Japanese government claim ed it's people 996 per cent terate rate second only to the Dutch But Allied investigation has revealed to the surprise of the Japanese themselves, that the masses with compulsory sx-year education know only onefourth of the vocabulary needed for newspaper lit eracy.
 The Japanese language is an intricate combination of picture signs characters with phonetic alphabet To read a newspaper 2,500 characters are minimum requirement while the average sxth-grade graduate found to know only 600
 Writing in the Atlantic Monthly, John Ashmead, IT,, former naval officer, reports that in informal tests only out of ten Tokyo citizens could read the names of the Japanese criminals. Ashmead voices the sentiments of many high occupation officers when he urges that the Japanese be required drop their characters and conne the written language to pho- netic alphabet
 Says Ashmead: "Tests carried out by the Japanese themselves 50OO0 primary school students show that two weeks of studying Japanese written in phon etic alphabet Gin this English letters though of the Japanese alphabets in use would have given the resus) brought them to level of liter acy achieved only after six years of studying Japanese as it is written"

 Attorney General Clark did not exaggerate one bit when he argued to the United States Supreme Court that the policy pursued by John L. Lewis in the coal strike was an insult to the United States" and an invitation to mob rule" He was on sound ground in contending that government has the authority and the power to de- fend itself against destruction from within, as it has the duty to defend the country from destruc- ton from without" The real uues- ton in this case, is whether any or ganized group is more powerful

He says the court actions are untlmely and unWarranted" and inconsistent with the mutual 4Ignts and responsibilities estab- uSned by employers and unions through private contract in free The fact of the matter is mat these portal pay suits are at tempts to sandbag employers into paying overtime that neither they nor their employees thought had oeen earned.

 The Ford Motor Company evi- dently had at least two things in mind in announcing the first price cuts made by any car maker since the war. It must expect to have more cars to sell, as it is increased of production reducing the cost per car which makes price re- auctions feasible. And then cutting prices evidently is designed to block CIO demands for another wage increase. The Ford price cut also indicates competition is devel- oping again in the automobile in- dustry.
