Under Secretary of State Rob
ert A. Lovett told his press con
ference it was getting so he
didn't need a translator for his
conferences with diplomats any
more. One foreign spokesman
came to his office recently, he
said, and started to make g
speech which sounded approx.
mately like, "Devlum paru1n

and 50 forth. (Here Mr.. Lovett
gave a good imitation of some
of Jerry Colonna's double talk.
ct knew right away" he said,
"that what he wanted was a
loan"
Last April, after price con-
trolls had been dead for nine
months, ex-OPA Administrator
Chester Bowles outlined a sew
en-point program to cushion the
economic shock which he saw
ahead. His recommendations
were:
Continue rent controls to July
1913; pass a long-range housing
bill; broaden social security
coverage and benefits; raise
minimum wages to at least IS
cents an hour; enact an ade-
quate tax-reform program; re-
new the farm-price : guarantee
program to insure full food pro-
duction, and adopt a bold pro-
gram of economic aid for Eu-
rope.
Only the last, of these items
received any favorable consid-
GRAFTON by Congress- This
doesn't necessarily mean that
enactment Of the Bowles pro-
gram would have resulted in
lower prices today. But failure
to act on these measures has
certainly brought no relief from
high prices.
While ex-Gov. Harold E. Stas-
sen gives the impression Of be-
ing quite outspoken on every
public issue, he is also quite
adroit at ducking hot questions.
Asked what he thought of Re-
publican prospects for 1913, he
replied that the party would be
successful if it adopted a pro-
gram that was humanitarian
and liberal. Asked if he thought
the last Congress put through
such a humanitarian and liberal
program, he smiled and said,
Gin some phases" Asked if he
knew of any other Republican
candidates for the presidency,
besides himself, he. would men
ton no names but replied,
"There will be an ample supply
when the whistle blows!"

WASHINGTON Secretary of
State George c. Marshall is try
ing to get by on the pair of
striped pants he had in his CT
william wardrobe before the war.
He tried them on when ne gave
up his job as Army chief of
staff to retire, as he then
thought, to civilian life. To his
chagrin he found they were a
little tight around the belt. But,
as a high-ranking diplomat, he
had big business reasons for
needing striped pants for Of
ficial functions. So he took them
to a tailor and had a "V" put
in the back. AS long as he can
keep his coat on, he's all right.
But if the wind ever blows his
coattails around, or there is a
rip of any kind, he fears there
will be a diplomatic incident.
Retiring Gen. Dwight D. Els
enhower hasn't acquired any CT
william clothes as yet, though he
has been under some pressure
from Mrs. Eisenhower to get a
new wardrobe for his new job
as president-of Columbia Uni
versity, that is. When General
Ike leaves the Army he plarS
to take 30 days off, in the termi-
nal leave he will have coming
to him, before he goes to his
new post. He has told his staff
that will give him enough time
to get his new clothes-and to
learn how to act in them.

The American people are becoming
increasingly aware of health problems
and possibilities for their solution.
There is a growing understanding of
the fact that grade-A medical care can

More unions are including health and

bargaining negotiations. Farmers are
organizing into medical care cooper

are active in health protection prog

AS a result. 104 separate pieces OF
health legislation crammed the hop

THE FIGHT FOR HEALTH
HEALTH AND THE soTH CONGRESS

ference in ideas between an about
national health program to bring adj
Quate prepaid medical service TO all
the people. and a stopgap measure Of
fering charity service only to those
who can pass a means test.
The Wagner Murray-Dingell bill.
long a vital plank in the platforms OF
both the ALL and CIO. has been re-
drafted in the light of many construc-
tive suggestions made during extern
sive hearings last year. 1t will prob
ably have increased sponsorship and
will soon be reintroduced.
A measure which would give every
worker complete services for his en-
tire family from a doctor of his choice
by paying regularly a small health III
%surance premium to which his employ
er would contribute an equal amount.
the bill deserves the active support or
every union local in every community.
The republican bill, rewritten with
tho help of the monopolistic American
Medican association. has already been
introduced by Senators Taft. Smith,
Ball and Donnell. 1t should fool ~
one. Workers know by now what t.
expect from these opponents of ORGAN
lied labor. Their socalled national
health bill would substitute a program
of limited medical care on a CHARITY
basis for the needy. administered in
dividually by the As states.
What is more. the bill would pom
public funds into the private repay
ment plans of the same medical so
cities which have been viciously at
lacking national health insurance leg
i~slation. States would pay the prem
iums Of needy persons for member
ship in these highly inadequate AMI
plans. and thus wash their hands o
health care for these people.
The observation-disclosures bill
must be fully understood and rejected
as a cheap imitation of the real thing
