ANA Journal Blasts
Ewing, Outlines Drive
On Insurance Plan
By the Associofed Press

CHICAGO, Dec. 10-The Ameri-
can Medical Association formally
told of plans today for its battle
against compulsory health insur-
ance-a proposal it is seeking to
raise s3,500,0OO to combat.
In an editorial captioned, "A call
to action against naturalization OF
medicine" the ANA Journal noti-
fed ANA mebers they would be as
sessed s25 each.
The fund, the editorial said, will
be used for meeting the proposal OF
the present Federal Security Ad-
ministrator to nationalize the serv-
ices of the medical profession
through the enactment OF a COM
pulsory sickness insurance act cover
ing every person in the United
States"
Voted at Secret Session.
Decision to assess the ANA men,
bers was reached by the ANA House
of Delegates at secret meeting
December l during the ANA in
term session in ST. Louis.
The Journal said that Oscar
Ewing, Federal Sesurity Admins
traitor, was attempting to break
down public confidence in the med
ical profession by every possible
technic"
In his radio talks and interviews,
the Journal said, Mr.. Ewing has
chosen to insult, berate, deride and
ridicule the great medical profession
/. of this country" '-~se.zg
Conference Urged. !,
again and again Mr.. Ewing has
referred to the fact that the lives oil
14O 600 600 persons are more impor-
tant than the wishes Of 10000
physicians" the editorial added.
Let the people know that medical
care comes from the medical pro-
fession and that no compulsory sick
ness insurance plan or other form
of naturalization of medical service
can succeed without placing on that
medical service the total burden OF
service.
"Mr. Ewing would do we'll to con-
fer with leaders of the medical pro-
fession as to the path that medicine
should take in this country rather
than relying on the kind Of argu-
ments that win cases before juries
for great corporations or for crimi-
nails"

By the Associo'ed Press

COLUMBIA, Mo-, Dec. 10.-Uni-
|versity of Missouri students staged
a mass demonstration yesterday but
their efforts failed to get them what
they wanted-a longer Christmas
vacation
Instead, some may face dis
|ciplinary action and loss of credits
for violating university rules 1by
taking things into their own hands
They marched on the home of DR..
Frederick Middlebush, university
president; burned Christmas tree
taken from Jesse Hall, the admin
istration building, and disrupted
morning classes for three hours.
Estimates of the number who
took part varied. University Off
Gals said at one stage it looked
like about 500, but later the number
was larger. The enrolment is ap-
proximately 10000.
Late yesterday deans Of the
various schools met and agreed to
assess negative hours where students
did not have legitimate excuses for
cutting classes.
The demonstrators wanted their
vacation to begin Saturday, Decem-
Der 18, instead of Thursday, De-

In Virginia, Georgia and Alabama

The head of the largest Negro

Russia does not need to talk to

people in Asia and Africa; all she
has to do is point finger at the

Wife and Child See
EXCL Who Penetrated
Berlin Red Blockade
BY the Associated Press

BERLIN, Dec. 10.-A former
American paratrooper, who pierced
Berlin's iron curtain to visit his
German girl friend and their 2-year-
old child, saw them briefly today,
from behind bars.
Then, back from an epic hitch
hike in the Soviet sector, he decided
to tell all. blaming most of his trou-
BILE on United States immigration
laws.
Edward J. Lada. %, of Newark, N.
j., arrested for being in Germany
without a military entry permit, said
he tried to take Ruth Riecki, %. of
Berlin, with him to the United
States in 1947, when the baby,
Nancy, was an infant.
Turned Down on Request.
Now that the story is out,
might as well tell it ALL Mr. Lada
said in his stockade cell. Il tried
to get my wife-I call her that.
though we are not married-out
with my baby, and was turned down.
I thought this time I could get
them out black underground and
perhaps get to Canada or some
place I want to be with them.
That's all I care about.
Il talked this over with my mother
and father Gn Newark and I know
my father wants me to do the right
thing"
Maj. Gen. George Hays, deputy
occupation commander, expressed a
"curbstone opinion" that Mr.. Lada's
hands and everybody else's are tied
by immigration laws. However, he
suggested that Mr.. Lada might be
able to get permission of the Swiss
or French governments to accept his
family.
In that case, Gen. Hays said, the
Army would not insist on shipping
Mr.. Lada back to the United States,
but would help him to stay with his
family by speeding up exit viSas to
whichever country extended the in
vttation.
Faces Trial for Illegal Entry.
The former soldier faces trial for
illegal entry, but Gen. Hays said the
charge does not appear to be very
serious
I'VE can't allow people to run
around Germany without proper pa
GERS or proper reasons the general
said.
Ruth brought their little daugh-
ter to the reunion at Mr.. Lada' S
cell.
Mr.. Lada said the girl urged him
the last time he was here ITO go
home and forget me" after she was
turned down for visa. He said
they were not married because he
wanted to keep the door open for
her to have another man" if they
could not be together.
What happens now, I don't
know" he says, I'm pretty mixed
up and it isn't easy to do any plan
ming while you're in jail.
I've lost rs pounds myself, just
worrying about her and the baby
since I went back to the United
States alone"
Mrs. Joseph Lada, mother of the
former paratrooper, said in Newark
yesterday her son had gone back to
Europe last Summer determined to
bring back his wife and child.

Mother Pleads Guilty
In SIapping Principal
OF Burroughs School

Mrs. Jeannette McCray, %, plead
ed guilty in Municipal Court today
to charge that she assaulted 8
school principal in a dispute over
her sons report card in the princi-
pals Office last June.
Miss Marie Turner, 48, head oi
the Burroughs School, asserted that
Mrs. McCray struck her in the face
with her hand and slammed dool
against her on the closing day o1
school.
She said the mother had come
into her Office "in a very excited
states" and had demanded the re.
port card of her son William, 10, as
well sa receipt for So which the
boys family paid to replace a light
globe which he and three other boys
had broken.
Civil Suit Dismissed.
Miss Turner added she had al
ready given Wilson the receipt ant
that he had apparently kept it il
his pocket. She explained the re-
port card delay by saying she hat
been told the father wanted to dis
cuss his sons school development.
A civil suit to recover the 50 paic
for the broken globe later was filed
claiming the principal had no righ
to accept such payment, but it wa
dismissed in Small Claims Cour
last September.
The District argued at the tim,
that the superintendent of schools
could not be sued for the principal
action in accepting the payment.
Mrs. McCray, who lives at 2OOt
Lawrence street NE, entered hel
plea before Judge Aubrey B. Fen.
nell after withdrawing her earlier
request for jury trial.
Reaction to Insult"
The case was turned over to pro-
baton officers for investigation
pending sentencing in two weeks.
Franklin T. Miles, the defendant's s
lawyer, told the court his client
slapped the principal because Miss
Turner had "fatly refused" to hand
over the report card, and had or
dered" Mrs. McCray from her office.
The slap, he added, was the re-
action Of all women since time i'm

rather than help, tne SITUATIONS
/ complained about.
For example, there was consider
able sentiment in the group at one
time to give supervisors the right
to fire employees summarily. This was
based largely on the fact that
Hoover task force people confused
Government employees efficiency
rating appeal rights with their JOB
retention rights.
It's true that Federal employees
have certain rights in appealing
their ratings. But non-veteran Gov
ernment employees, under the pres
ent system, can be dismissed from
their jobs through agency admins
trative action within 10 days after
filing of charges.
The recommendation first con-
sidered by the Hoover group-to give
the supervisors the power to fire
arbitrarily-really would jeopardize
the jobs of all Government employees.
In the final analysis, an employees
job would depend on the whim OF
his supervisor.
Other proposals that would affect
Federal workers adversely also are
being opposed successfully by Mr..
Flemming.
He may not win his way on all
points OF controversy, but at least
he's succeeded so far in killing
several proposals that just weren't
workable. All this information comes
from Hoover Commission sources
other than Mr.. Flemming, who ap-
parently believes he can accomplish
much better results quietly by win
ming over his colleagues to his point
of view rather than by public con-
troversy over disputed recommended
tionS.

employees extremely embarrassing
questions regarding their personal

Board has issued an order to its
Regional Boards forbidding this sort
of thing.
The board has instructed its re-
