Health Insurance
Opponents Spend
Plenty Thru Lobby

acknowledgements of any
national health insurance plan are
spending hundred of thousands of
dollars to defeat proposals for med
ical care system which would work
for the benefit of every man, woman
and child in the United States.
This was revealed by the commit
tee for the Nations Health which
said that lobby registration reports
reveal an expenditure of $685. 1886
for the first nine months of this year
by the National Physicians Commit
tee, the propaganda-front organiza-
ton for the American Medical Asso-
citation, in opposing any move in the
direction of a national health insur-
ance scheme.
Actually, the committee said, NPC
is best known for it's distribution of
scurrilous pamphlets attacking the

surance bills, and the authors there
of.

worker is far better off now than
under the old system.
Dimitrovgrad is the pride of the
Bulgar's heart. Four country vii
lagos with population of $500 are
being transformed into an industrial
city which in five years will have a
population of $4,000. The largest
cement plant in the Balkans will be
located there, one unit already is
producing 800 tons a day, will go to
900. A power plant has been built
and another 10000 XVIII plant is
scheduled for construction. A giant
fertilizer plant also will be built.
Youth brigades have been respon-
sible for 60 per cent of the construc-
ton at Dimitrovgrad. Twenty-one
thousand young people put in six
on it last year, and work
started late in April this year. The
city will have nine schools, two hos
pitfalls, stadium, theaters = every
thing that goes into modern urban
life.

Breaking the Jam /.

tons for social injustice are well
Iinoculated into the people with codes
of conduct, false teachings about the
worth of the less successful in fl
nance, and the inadequacy of human
nature as enumerated in the last
chapter.
This is the social log, the jam that
should be broken.
| To break this jam requires vast
program of re-education, the scrap
ping of much that is now taught, and
the substitution of an honest objec-
tive search for the truth on just how
the social and economic machinery
operates.
How much of a gap can be per-
mitted between production and pur-
chasing power? Are special priv
ileges the just compensation for spe-
cial native endowments, virtue, or
services?
What is mans nature, his needs,
hopes and aspirations, and what is
required for his maximum develop
ment? Is education carried on for
the purpose of getting into a better
class, so one can associate with the
right people, to get wage higher
than others?
These and many other similar
swered
This re-education requires new
approach, new spirit, and new OBJ
jective. 1t is not to be confused
with the traditional idea that educa-
ton is a badge of aristocracy, that
loyalty to inherited ideas regardless
of their validity, that education is
way of climbing to higher levels So
cially and financially.
Who Shall Do the Job?
7 think it would be both unrealistic
and unfair to leave the job to our
publicly financed education system.
The teachers, except for a small per-
centage, are unprepared for this sort
of work. Our schools do not en-
phasize philosophy; the teachers, at
least now, cannot encourage the ex-
animation of ideas critical of the
status quo. They themselves are the
product of system teaching loyalty
to tradition; that education is an
escape into higher bracket or class.
We must constantly bear in mind
that the breaking of this culture jam
requires a new set of ideas relative
to the worth and dignity of individ-
uals, including the exploited, the toll
ers, the unsuccessful economically,
and those who have not reached the
more respectable" level in society.

ola Petkov was met in the u. S.
press with wailing and gnashing of
teeth. Did the same press, 25 years
ago, shed tears over the death of
his brother, Petko Petkov who was
murdered because he was too Left?
The u. S. press snorts angrily be-
cause the Rightist leaders in the Pet
kov conspiracy have lost their power.
Did the same press raise its voice
in 1928 when the Communist party
was outlawed by militarists?
These are a few questions worth
bordering, and recalling in the light
of today's developments on the inter-
national scene.
Prisoners Were Burned Alive
During White Terror
From 1923 to 1914, with exception
of three years in the early thirties,
Bulgaria was ruled by the Right, with
a ruthlessness known to only a few
foreigners. At the height of the
White Terror, a few prisoners were
burned alive by police, Left people,
that is. Men like Constantine Rusi-
nov, an Orthodox priest who became
a Communist because he couldn't
stand social injustice, spent more
than 10 years of his life in prison,
during one beating suffered four
broken ribs; son lost his teeth be-
cause of police clubs; another son
lost his life as a result of police
beatings.
The men responsible for these
outrages have been shorn of polit-
ical power In Bulgaria there still
are many who supported the old
regime, floating about. But the
government is in the hands of peo-
pie who don't like fascism, who be-
lieve World War 2 was fought to
destroy fascism.

To keep social and economic prog
ress flowing along at an even rate is
most difficult; so long as there is
Exploitation of class by class and
nation by nation perfection is prob
ably unobtainable.
The Individual comes into the
world we'll equipped for living with
others in harmony. In fact, his ma
tive endowments are such that he
could not grow, unfold his potential
lities, or even survive without human
companionship. His Unborn tenden-
cies make it easy for him to cooper
ate; he has an instructive concern for
others, especially the offspring; he
yearns for the approval of his fellow
men and to attain this approval, to
secure the feeling of being wanted,
he willingly makes sacrifices at his
own expense.
Stronger than any of the native or
Unborn urges is the terrific search for
security-the desire to survive. But
survival is not an individual matter.
Sooner or later, through instinct and
training, each one comes to Identify
security and general well-being with
a smaller or larger group-first and
most likely the smaller and more i'm
mediate one.
Voluntarily or involuntarily each
one identifies himself with or joins
up with a group-a class, state, ma
ton. Just then we run into difficult
ties-a seeming contradiction in the
very nature of things. AS long as
there is inter-class and international
conflict, war, and exploitation, it is
impossible for the individuals normal
and instructive social tendencies to
function properly. If he happens to
belong to the dominant class or ma
ton and is one with vision and I'M
derstanding, he is torn with conflict
between the greater good and the
wishes of the immediate group; he is |
torn with emotional conflict within |
himself.
If he is not too sensitive and far
seeing, he resorts to all sorts of I'M
scientific and dishonest rationalizing. |
He tends to identify worth, virtue
and success with the interest of the |
dominant. He sets out to draw up
the moral, ethical codes of conduct |
for the oppressed and exploited.

ficult for the majority of the exploit
ing group to see clearly and with
proper sympathy the hopes, fears,

Bull GARIA--S0ME QUESTIONS WORTH
PIONEERING

In the recovery drive, Bulgaria is
behind some of her neighbors. Three
years of drouth, import difficulties
are the chief retarding influences,
but things are on the up. In 1947
exports exceeded those of the pre-
vious years. Ivan Stefanov, minis
ter of finance, said the major import
items needed are compressors, power
plant machinery, mining equipment,
trucks, tractors, copper. Because of
the drouth, money needed for ma
chinery imports went for food. He
said there is much Bulgaria could
buy from United States, can't get
because of politics. Two million
dollars belonging to Bulgaria have
been blocked in United States. "It
may not sound like much" he added,
"but it would buy lot of machines
we badly need"
There have been sweeping social
reforms-the land reform, but in
dustry was not nationalized until
December, 1947. For two years
Nikola Petkov, backed by Barnes
of the u. S. mission, successfully
opposed an economic overhaul.
The government exercised some
control over industry, allotted mate
rial, but it found private enterprises
cheating. There was Black Mar
ket. Only part of the finished goods
went into legitimate trade channels.
There was sabotage of even that
amount of government control, too.
Three court cases are pending, in
private owners who paid en-
ployees to cripple production; hidden
stockpiles of goods were found, I'M
used machines.
The Bulgars are anxious to hZve
foreigners visit their factories, talk
with their directors and workers.
An interesting personality in large
textile plant near Sofia is Mrs. Volka
Goranova, newly-appointed director
who is of peasant stock, university
trained. She and her husband we're
officers in the Partisan army of TO-
900 picked men and women. Twice
she was sentenced to death, twice
granted reprieve because evidence
was too flimsy.
Workers Are Better Off Than
Before the War
Mrs. Goranova said naturalization
has only one purpose; to better con-
1itions of those who operate the fac
tories, and in larger sense, to stab
lie the nations economy. Wages
Today, she said, are seven times the
ore-war level. Granting that infla-
ion also has come to Bulgaria, the !

MANY VETERANS IN
MENTAL HOSPITALS

Nearly forty per cent of the
Pacific Northwest veterans re-
manning in Veterans Admins
tration hospitals at the end OF
November were being treated
for mental disorders, the VA.
has revealed.
The Veterans Administration
operates two neuropsychiatfic
hospitals in this area, located
at American Lake, Wash, and
Roseburg, Ore. There are lab
veterans being cared for at
these two institutions.
Seventeen hundred additional
veterans, at the end of Novem-
Der, were patients in five other
special and general VA. hoSpi-
tails in the Northwest, while 681
were being cared for in other
government or private hospitals
under contract to the VA.
Nearly all veterans are eligible
to receive care and treatment in
VA. hospitals, but because OF
the present shortage of bsds,
those whose disabilities We1e
caused or aggravated by service
with the armed forces are given
preference.
