ON GRADE E MILK.
State Health Officer Says
He Would Not Recon-
mend For Human Use

RALEIGH, April % - [P) - At
a public hearing here today on
proposed regulations for the sale
and distribution of milk, a num-
Der of producers asked that they
be permitted to sell a Grade c
pasteurized milk as .''pastuerized
market milk"
John Arey, dalryman for the
N. c. State College Extension ser
vice, told a committee of the State
Department of agriculture which
drafted the proposed regulations
that to ban sales of this so-called
cooler milk" would work a hard,
ship on many producers in cen
trail and Western North Carolina.
The new regulations would pro-
hibit the sale of Grade c milk
except in rural areas and then
only on a temporary basis after
local authorities file an applica-
ton with the state commissioner
Of agriculture.
Serious Charge
George Watts Hill of Durham
charged that in the past large
quantities of Grade C milk had
been sold to the public as Grade
A. He said he understood this
was particularly true in Eastern
North Carolina.
Mrs. O.. F. McCrary Of Raleigh,
in charge of the school lunch pro
gram in the Raleigh schools. told
the committee that frequently
Grade C milk was the only milk
available and she asked the com
mittee if it would recommend
that people drink it.
DR.. c. V. Reynolds state health
officer replied: mo definitely
not"

WASHINGTON, April % w.
Representatives of five national
organizations joined with two
Senators today in urging Congress
to authorize federal aid for educa-
ton.
Senators Pepper D-Fla) and
Murray (D-Mont) asked a Public
Welfare subcommittee to approve
their bill which would guarantee
public school teachers a salary OF
$500 a year more than they re-
ceived in 1941.
Mrs. Eugene Meyer. reporter
for the Washington Post and wife
of its owner, said, however, that
"a broader approach to the i'm
provement of our education sys-
tenn is needed
She advocated a bill which
would authorize grants to the
states for school purposes and
uarantee that at least $50 a year
be spent on the education of every
pupil.

MARSHALL BLAMES RUSSIANS
FOR MOSCOW FARLEY MSCO:
IT, s. CHAMBER FOR TAX SLASH
ALPWitness
Blasts Bill
Arthur Schutzer Likens
House Measure To Pink
Ribbon Present

WASHINGTON, April % - ~
The United States Chamber Of
Commerce threw its weight today
behind a 1900, 900 income tax
cut for this year, but the House
approved measure came in for
heavy criticism from the Amer
lean Labor party and the Progress
sive Citizens Of America.
= Ellsworth c. Alvord, chairman
of the chambers federal finance
committee, described the bill now
before the Senate Finance COM
mittee as constructive and states
manlike."
Arthur Schutzer, New York
state executive secretary for the
American Labor party, told the
that the measure should
"stand exposed for what it really
is - a pink ribbon present for the
rich and a shoe-lace for the poor"
He and C. B Baldwin, executive
vice president of the Pea, COM
planned that the bill fails to give
defective relief to persons in
the low income groups.
Baldwin said that unless such
relief is granted without delay,
the enforced buyers strikes
which have already begun can
very quickly spiral into a full
scale depression"
The bill would give a 80 per
cent reduction to persons whose
income after exemptions is ST, 900
Or less, 20 PEI cent off to those
receiving between 1885 and $780,
900, and a 1915 cut to the few in
the very highest brackets. The
reductions would be retroactive
to last Jan l.
The Chamber of Commerce took
the same stand as the National
Association Of manufacturers had
last Friday: That the nation can
enjoy a tax cut and a reduction in
its $258, 600, 600, 900 public debt 81
multaneously. Alvord calculated
that the treasury will have a &c.
900, 900, 900 surplus in the fiscal year
which begins July l. He said a
minimum of ST, 500, 600, 900 a year
should be applied on the debt.
Alvord argued that such a
stable program" of debt retire
ment combined with tax reduc-
ton would sustain a high level of
economic activity.
Schutzer contended that the
House bill sery IS "the Republican
trinity of high prices for con-
sumers, high profits for big bus
mess and high tax reductions for
the wealthy"
This bill bestows tax relief
upon the greedy few who need
it least and withholds it from the
burdened many who need it most"
he declared.

County Vaccine Supply
Normal, DR.. Elliot Says
No Trace OF Smallpox Has
Been Found In New
Hanover; One In State

Following reports that the small
pox vaccine of the State Labora-
tory of Hygiene is impotent and
useless, DR.. A. H. Elliott, New
Hanover county health officer,
said last night that the local de-
partment has a normal supply
on hand.
The health officer said that the
county health department now has
en- hand sufficient smallpox vac
cine In large walls, used by the de-
par1ment in the vaccination ct
children, but that they had no
small individuals walls in stock.
The Individual walls r distribut-
ed through the health department
to persons who wish their own
physicians to administer the vac
cine, he said. He discovered that
the States supply of the preventive
was useless about two weeks ago
when he tried to secure some OF
the individual walls. He was ad-
vised by the State laboratory that
they would send him a supply as
soon as they had some active ma.
terial.
No trace of the smallpox dis
ease has been discovered in New
Hanover, DR.. Elliott said, Neither
did he seem to believe there was
any cause of alarm, over the pros
poets of there being a spread OF
the disease in North Carolina.
There are plenty of unvaccinated
people," he said, "but there are
so many more who are vaccinat-
ed, who would break the spread
of the disease.
The health officer also stated
that this is the first time he has
ever heard # vaccine becoming
ineffective. eve sometime have to
vaccinate the second time" he
said, but we have never had any
walls which proved ineffective, and
would not take

the same time that a case of small.
pox was reported to be under
treatment in Cleveland county, the
State Laboratory of hygiene re.
ported hat its supply of vaccine
is impotent and useless.
DR.. Carl V. Reynolds state health
officer, said that if there was a
spread of smallpox, the state would
seek to acquire a supply of vac.
cine from out of the state.
DR.. John Hamilton, director Of
the laboratory, said hat several
weeks ago it was discovered that
"our supply is impotent and had
to be discarded because it wouldn't

Meanwhile, at Shelby, DR.. D.. T.

Tsro6 Wilson Fields, 70. Of
vbitesDurg, KY, testified that he
received the series of letters IN
,rodnced today from May during
1913 and 1914.
~ Fields said he had an agreement
- share Cumberland profits fifty

MT up the money and Fields to
operate the concern.
letter May wrote fr o m

Most of the other letters from
NAV urged Fields to speed Cum

income.
Fields testified they finally
broke off their arrangement in
March 1914, because, Fields said,
'T decided there was something
wrong" =,
Fields story was that May had
some Big Washington interests"
willing to advance him m o n e y

lumber" but that he and M a y
we're to repay the advances and
each wind up owning half Of the
Cumberland Lumber company
stock.
The witness said May never men
toned the Garssons and that he
believed May headed Cumberland.
On cross-examination, however,
Charles Hargiotti, attorney for the
Garssons, brought out that a
promissory note Fields paid with
s.. 500 sent him by May bore the
name of Henry Carson as presl'
cent of the Cumberland firm.
Fields said that in paying the
note at a Whitesburg, KY, bank
he had not noticed it carried
Henry Garsson's name as pledge
for payment.

Nelson was testifying in support

to allow home owners to deduct for

He said his figures for the num-
Der of Owner-Occcupied dwellings
were based on findings of the Cen

Board and the MIA. He divided
them into 17,244,823 non-farm
homes and 100000 farm dwellings

data" he said, that in 1947 the
average Owner-Occupied home is q

way. 1t might just as well be
argued that the American people
are not competent to feed and
clothe themselves except at the
direction of the state.
It is from this fear of incom-
petence that dictators are born.
During the past decade, while
the issue of socialized medicine
base been debated with increas-
ing bitterness and while measures
have been proposed in Congress
repeatedly that would put strait
jacket on the medical profession,
private citizens by the millions
have quietly gone ahead joining
up voluntarily medical programs.
And actually these voluntary pro-
grams have done more pioneering
and exhibited more practical eff
fectiveness than can ever be ex-
pected of a socialized medical
system founded on the shifting
sands of politics. At present near
ly half the population of the
country, sixty-one million persons,
subscribe to some kind of a med
ical plan. Approximately 45,500.000
persons in the United States are
enrolled in insurance plans to pay
costs incident to disabling illness.
In addition, approximately 10000
900 persons are enrolled in pre-
payment medical care and 5000
900 are insured under combina-
ton accident and sickness policies.
If the debate over socialized
medicine goes on a few more
years, it will become purely an
academic matter. The people will
have solved their own health
problems in their own way with
out destroying medical standards
or the freedom of the doctors.

Solving the Problem
While Others Talk

Many proposals to invest govern
ment with wide powers over the
people stem from lack of faith in
the ability of individuals to solve
their own problems by voluntary,
democratic action. An apt illustra-
ton of this is the continuing eff
fort of minority political groups
to saddle the country with a COM
pulsory state medical system.
These groups simply do not be-
lieve for themselves in a medical
