Ewing Declares ANA
Can't Stop Program
OF Health Insurance
BY the Associated Press

NEW YORK, Dec. 15.-Oscar r.
Ewing, Federal Security Administra-
tor, says the American Medical As
Sociation cannot defeat national
health insurance, despite what he
called "the greatest lobbying effort
in history"
He said last night that the $780,
900 fund being raised by the ANA
to oppose the health program will
60 down the drain-for the day of
these gentlemen is passed"
Speaking at a Sydenham Hospital
dinper, Mr.. Ewing described the
ANA as "frantically taxing its mem
bership" to raise the fund in an
effort to stop "the inevitable"
There is an implicit mandate to
put into operation the long delayed
Nationwide health program which
President Truman has so earnestly
advocated" Mr.. Ewing said.
Referring to the AMA's recent de-
ciSion to assess each member $25 to
raise its fund to oppose the health
plan, Mr.. Ewing said:
They would do better to use their
money to educate some of their COL
leagues to the real truth of the sit
uation."
He said the goal Of the insurance
plan is to provide every one every
where with comprehensive medical
service without regard to the pa
TENTS economic status"
"Only per cent of the people can
afford to pay for adequate medical
care" he said, "and for nearly one
half of the population a doctor is
called only in cases Of extreme
emergency"
Mr.. Ewing estimated that the cost
of the health program to individuals
will not exceed 4 per cent of the
first $4,000 Of annual income
divided equally between employer
and employe." A man earning $50
a week, he said, would pay about 81
a week for health insurance for
himself and his family.
Under the program, Mr.. Ewing
said. individuals still would be able
to choose their own physicians. In
each community, he said, members
of the medical profession would
meet to set up a scale of fees to be
charged for various services. They
would collect from the Govern
ment fund rather than from the in
dividual.

Shull A Few Oil Companies Get
The Peoples Heritage?

Unfortunately the daily press is saying little about the
"Tdeands Oil" dispute, though it involves billions of dol
lars and may lead a scandal bigger than Teapot Dome
If the American people understood what is at stake would
be one of the great issues of today.
Where the Republican party chiefs stand this issue
was made clear this week by Governor Earl Warren OF Call
forna c. O. r. vice presidential candidate In speech at
Fort Worth Texas he said the Republican platform pledges
that the Tdeands Oil lands will be left with the states
That's exactly what the big Oil Lobby advocates The
magnates believe would be easier for them to control
state governments than the Federal government at Wash
ington They still remember how Senator Walsh, Demo-
ca forced Republican Congress to expose Teapot Dome
They fear it might happen again.
What are the "tdelands?" They the bottom

few other coastal states In those underwater lands, oil
worth fabulous fortunes has been discovered and still vaSer
and valuable petroleum deposits undoubtedly wait

Uncle Sam and the tdeands states have long disputed
ownership Of the OIL Meanwhile California leased of
its Off shore lands to few big oil companies
Two years ago, powerful Oil Lobby put through Con-
gress a bill surrenderng Uncle Sans claim to the lands
and handing them to the coastal states President ru
vetoed the BILL
Then the Supreme Court ruled that the lands belong to
the Federal government That did not stop the Oil Lobby

nuf the Supreme Court decision shut Uncle Sam out Of
the Picture and give the lands to the statesfor them
hand on to the oil companies.
The Republican high command would have put that bill
through this year. but the Lobby knew Truman would again
it, SO the held back until the session
of Congress- in hope President would be in the White
House.

renewed attention to strengthening their organizations on

There are many things to do. One is to be an active
union member which regular attendance at union
meetings and taking part in debate formulation of policies
and making of decisions.
Another is consistent purchase of union label goods and
services This may at rstgong to more than one
store business establishment to get what is wanted But
any particular union label product service usually be
obtained if the purchaser really wants to get it,
Union members don't need to be reminded that union
label buying aids organized labor and fair employers and

however, those friendly to organized labor do not realize the

Wdlsh-HedleY Protection Defended

Demand of Representative Fred A. Hartley for repeal
of the WashHealey Act has met with conspicuous lack
of enthusiasm among employers Most employers re-
cognze that the act has been beneficial which Secretary OF
Labor Tobn pointed out in devastating blast at Harteys
repeal recommendation
Secretary Tobn said that Hartley faed to note that
the support for the WasHeaey Act comes not only from
labor organizations but from employers north and
SOUTH who observe decent labor Standards and added:
During recent hearings, the Department of Labor re-
ceved dozens of letters from manufacturers paying decent
wages including from Harteys own state of New
Jersey pleading with the Secretary of Labor to establish
prevailing minimum wage standards in order that they might
be able to compete for government work..
The Wash-H -Healey Act, which passed to prevent
the IT, S. government from buying supplies from chselng
employers and to support the manufacturer who wishes to
pay decent wages has helped industry well as labor and
there to suppose that but the most short
sighted employers favor its repeal.
