Revolt Aguinsf the AVA?

The American Medical Association
recently decided to raise $3, 100000 to
fight President Truman's proposal for
national health insurance.
The ANA House of Delegates, con-
trolling body in organized medicine,
authorized an assessment Of $25
against each Of its 100000 member
doctors to underwrite the campaign.
Last week in Boston a noted physi-
clan predicted a grass roots rebellion
among American doctors against the
adamant stand of the ANA.

Wheat
international Crop Agreement

International Crop Agreement
Another attempt to arrive at an in
ternational wheat agreement will be
made in Washington on January 25.
ALI nations in the United Nations
Food and Agricultural Organization
are expected to participate.
The proposed pact would replace
an agreement negotiated early this
year which did not become effective
because of failure of the American
Congress to act on it.
That agreement, which had the
support of President Truman, would
have covered a five-year period. It
would have set up a system of maxi
mum and minimum prices to protect
growers and consumers. It would
have divided the world wheat market
among most Of the major exporting
nations.
Under the plan the United States
would have been assured of an an
nual market of 168 million bushels,
with a guaranteed price of $l.85 a
bushel for the first year.
There have been reports that some
countries want lower prices set in
any new agreement because Of big
1948 wheat yields throughout the
world. Such a step probably would
meet with considerable opposition.

Hoffman sent a special ECA COM
mittee of American industrial experts
to resurvey German industry for its
role under the Marshall Plan. The
committee is headed by George Hum
phrey of Cleveland.
Study Committee Report
Behind closed doors at the British
Foreign Office, Hoffman scanned the
factory-by-factory survey of the COM
mittee. Present, also, were us. am
bassadOr Lewis Douglas and British
and French observers.
The British and French observers
were given an opportunity to express
their views, but not to take a direct
part in drafting recommendations.
When completed, those recommended
tiOns on Germany's role in western
EurOpe's economy will be sent to
Washington for approval. If they are
approved, the us. then will ask for a
formal conference with Britain and
France to make them effective.
Tentatively, the Humphrey special
committee was reported as favoring
preservation of a ''small number
perhaps so to 1OO-of the Industries
in Germany under close supervision
and with some changes in machine
tooling.

Rebuff to the Russians

THE Berlin elections, which
i dealt a heavy blow to Soviet
hopes for dominating the German
capital, will do little to ease east
west tension. In fact, the returns
probably will provoke Russian
cOuntermeasures in an endeavor to
recoup lost prestige.
The blockaded Berliners not only
turned out an impressive 86.2 per
cent of the electorate Sunday, they
added insult to injury-from the
Soviet viewpoint-by voting over
whelmingly for the Social Democratic
Party (SPD) which is militantly anti
Communist.
Communists had urged Berliners to
boycott the election or to spoil the
ballots. Western Germans regarded
every ballot as a vote against Russian
occupation policies.
Void Ballots Small
Election officials said the final
count showed only 81, ,156 spoiled bal
lots, not an unusual percentage of
error among people unaccustOmed to
voting. Russian controlled newspapers
contend the void ballots exceeded
100000.
The vote swept the SPD into power
in the western sectors of the city. The
Christian Democrats and the Liberal
Democrats, who ran second and third,
are also anti-Communist.
The American sector returned the
sharpest rebuff to the Communists.
OF the eligible voters living there,
88.9 per cent went to the polls. The
British sector was second with a
turnout Of 85.1 per cent. The French
sector turned out some IS per cent.
A total of 1,330,82O Berliners voted
out of 100000 eligibles. The Rus
SLAMS refused to conduct or permit
voting in their sector. In voting, west
ern Berliners defied a variety Of
threats from the Communists.
Voting Is Calm
Despite strongarm tactics and fist
fights during the campaign, the cleo
ton was relatively calm. No mass in
vasions by Red gangs were made into
the western sectors. Some 10000 Ger

nOmically.
German industries, particularly
coal and steel, are needed to attain
those detectives. A special Congress
sional committee recommended that
400 of these German plants ear
marked for dismantling be retained
to make goods that the rest Of Europe
needs. A Presidential Advisory Com
mittee cut this recommendation to
323 and it was later reduced to 125.
Even that figure was too high for
British and French liking. The French
fear that under the Marshall Plan
German industry will be helped back
TO its traditional eminence of lording
It over European economy.
American View
The American view is that goods
and machine tools that are vitality
needed in western Europe now have
to be shipped across the Atlantic at
a heavy cost to the American tax
payer. Americans feel, too, that Ger
mans win produce more if they are
permitted to manage their own indus
tries.
In Washington, French ambassador
Henri Bonnet uttered a vehement
protest. Any idea that the rebirth Of
German militarism can be prevented
by merely controlling distribution oi

Six months ago, Whitaker Cham
bers, now an editor of Time maga-
zine, told the House COMMITTEES on
Un-American Activities that Alger
Hiss, former State Department exc
ecutive, turned over secret official
documents to him as courier for a
Communist undercover ring. That
was in 1887 and 1898, Chambers said,
before he disavowed Communism and
took his story to the FBL
Hiss, now president Of the Carnegie
Endowment for International Peace,
denied the charges. When Chambers
repeated his accusation over the
radio, Hiss brought $4,000 suit for

poenaed Chambers to produce any
other documents. He led Investigators
to his Westminster, Nd, farm at /

from a hOllowed-out pumpkin se-
creted behind his barn.
These tiny rolls Of microflm, in-
vestigators said, recorded enough top-
secret State, Navy and Army docu-

The committee said it had sworn

Each government calls the other il
legal.
Economic division may follow the
political split soon. The anti-Com-
munist victory at the polls may in
crease pressure for outlawing the
Soviet backed east mark in western
sectors. If this does occur, the east
west sections of the capital will be as
separate as two nations.
Meanwhile, some 1000 workers at
the Berlin electric power company
decided not to work any more in the
Soviet zone because Communist po-
lice spy on them and harass them.
They said they would work only in
