How does a little lady become
q right hand man?
Well, if her name is Mary Hartz-
man, she becomes valuable as
sistant to Sam Hammersmark,
manager of the Modern Book
store.
Being a right hand man entails
a great deal of responsibility and
her duties extend from giving all
over service for a wide variety of
customers to looking after the fis-
cal set up of the stores.
Miss Hartman started with the
Modern Bookstore three years ago,
a complete novice in terms of book

ten members who uses the hos
pital some time every year, they
mean real saving. They encour-
age the use of the hospital early
when needed without a cash bar
rier.
BUT disqualification is only a
part of medical care. Actually it
accounts for only about a sixth of
the total medical bill of the aver
age family. The rest goes for doc
tors bills, drugs, nursing, dental
care, eyeglasses, appliances and
so on. Blue Cross doen't cover
any of these, not even your doc
tors bill while you are in the hos
pita1.
1t doesn't cover even hospital
costs completely. Besides paying
for only 80 days in year, there
are limitations on care for certain
conditions and waiting periods for
others. Sometimes the plans keep
out babies under one year or peo-
pie past IS, when medical needs
are great.
Finally, more than 80% of the
population is still not reached by
these plans, mainly because of
their cost. The majority of our
people will not get health protec-
ton until Congress passes a ma
tional health insurance law.
THE WORST thing about the
Blue Cross movement is that the
plan directors are fighting ma
tional health insurance tooth and
nail Even though Blue Cross
plans would still have plenty to
do under a national health in
surance system, they cling to their
vested interests as against the
health needs of the people.
Workers, who represent the
largest group of Blue Cross mem
bers, should demand to be repre-
sented on their boards of direc-
tors, now dominated by hospital
directors, doctors, bankers and the
like. They should fight to lower
the costs of Blue Cross and ex-
pand their benefits, and see to ii
that the plans help to pave the
way to national health insurance.
not to obstruct it.

What about Blue Cross plan?

The most popular and success
full kind of health insurance in
this country is the Blue Cross
hospital plan. Starting slowly in
the depression years, this system
for easing the blow of hospital
costs has grown rapidly. Today
about 25 million people are COW
cred by Blue Cross.
Workers often ask: "Is Blue
Cross a good thing?" The answer
can't be simple yes or no. The
fact is that group disqualification
is generally good thing for those
who can afford it, but it's far from
being the perfect answer to all
our health needs and there are
certain bad features to it.
The principle of Blue Cross
plans is simple. You pay certain
membership fee or premium to
belong to a plan. Ordinarily you
have to join in a group, such as
the workers in a particular plant,
and the premiums average around
$500 or $3.50 family a month.
It's less for single workers.
IF ANYONE belonging to Blue
Cross needs to go to hospital, he
shows his membership card and
the hospital will send the bill for
his care to the plan. The plan
will usually pay the cost of a
semi-private or ward bed and
most of the extras like drugs, lab
oratory tests and use of the oper-
ating room. Most plans pay for
up to 80 days Of care in year,
with part payment for more days.
The Blue Cross plans are called
service plans because the mem
Der gets service and not cash when
he's sick. There are other poll
cies sold by commercial insurance
companies and held by millions
of workers which are indemnity
plans, not entitled to be called
Blue Cross" In these, the mem
Der gets a cash allowance if he
goes to the hospital, and this may
or may not meet the cost of his
hospital stay usually it doesn't).
Now both these types of pro-
lection are good as-far as they go,
because when hospital bills hit,
they hit hard. To the one out of

These people found
the secret Of youth
By JOYCE POTTER

The other day I drank tea and
ate cake with a group of Com
munist women. The speaker at
our tea was Claudia Jones, a tall,
slim, dark-brown Negro woman
of indescribable beauty.
Her eyes curled with wise
smiles; her voice was gentle and
calm and she spoke with a modes
ty possessed only by women
who've forgotten looks and clothes
and competition with other
women for the attentions of men.
Claudia Jones had a neighborli-
ness in her manner,
Color is frequently a barrier
between white people and black,
but it's a frail barrier. A sip of
tea, the breaking of bread, a few
minutes of talk and eyes no longer
see color alone.

ting in the parlor that day were

as Miss Jones, but womanly at

mon to women at teas. Yet they
were different from other women.
They laughed but they did not
giggle; they didn't gush.
Their voices were poised even
when later they were excitedly
arguing with each other about
how to organize women to work
for rent-control, smoke clearance,
lower prices and world peace.
The Communist women, like
women all over the world, dis
cussed children but they were not
absorbed with recipes for the re-
freshments, although the cookies
and homemade pecan rolls were
SO good they almost begged to be
talked about.
These women had another dis
tinguishing quality apart from
their poised seriousness. They
looked young. / don't know how
old Claudia Jones is but 1 had
known some of the other women
in the room for dozen years and
do know how old I am. These
women were in their middle TWEEN
ties with me, and I knew they
were not conventionally young
anymore. Their children were
growing up.
They'd reached the middle years
of their lives, but, do you know,
they looked like girls. They were
slim, supple, fresh-faced. Youth
bloomed from their eagerness.
To be a Communist today is to
be misrepresented in a new way
every time you turn your head.
But the bright-eyed women at the
tea didn't look or act like martyrs.
Their vitality reminded me rather
OF bouncing India-rubber balls.
They were planning work to be
done to offset the insidious cam
paign against women published
in our papers and magazines and
book-houses today. They talked
freely, individually, excitedly.
even angrily; ideas cracked over
their. lips like fireworks on
Fourth of July.
They'd been working on tenants
committees, in election campaigns
around the aldermanics, in all
kinds of organizations. They dis
cussed how to work some more
and how to improve their work.
No group of people in this coun-
try publishes more literature
about themselves, for and against
themselves than Communist. No
group reads SO much or begs, i'm
plores, sales-talks their friends in

Communists are constant edu-
Gators of both themselves and of
other people. And along with
education and work, Communists
socialize all the time. They give
big parties and invite scores of
people. The women are constant
ly practicing for public consump-

Production in 1948 Indi- lafed 10 Be About

DETROIT. Oct. Short ages of sheet steel. which have kept the automobile industry on stop-and-go basis for most of the postwar period to date, will continue to plague the car fac- tories through most of l948. ae- cording to current thinking among the manufacturers.
 One of the results will be that the industry probably will not turn out any more vehicles next year than the total of 1947 output. Pos sibly that holds hope for a some what deeper cut into the unified order bank is that more of next years assemblies probably will be passenger vehicles.
 This years production, expected to fall only a little under the 5,000,000 unit level, will include close to 100000 trucks and coach es. The 1000,0O0th truck to be produced in the United States this year came off the assembly lines on Monday of this week.
 But demand for commercial ve- hicles has begun to tighten up, particularly in the heavier classi- fications; indications are this years record-breaking output will nec- essitate tapering off in truck assemblies next year. More pas senger cars and fewer trucks pro- bably will make up next years production.
