Blue Cross Clears Up
Surgical Mix-Up

Some Blue Cross subscribers
have reported phone Gales to their
homes wrongly advising them that
hospital and surgical services are
not available under their contracts
after age IS, Blue Cross officials
said today.
According to information suppll-
ed by the subscribers, some OF
whom became needlessly alarmed,
the phone calls were made by a
person or persons claiming to sell
disqualification insurance, the Blue
Cross officials added.
The Blue Cross spokesmen, dir
ectors of the states only non-profit
health insurance plan, said they
had decided to make the incidents
public because of the part that
Blue Cross is playing in keeping
health insurance completely free
and voluntary part of the American
way of life.
1t was pointed out that Blue
Cross is now the bulwark of more
than half this states population
against the financial inroads OF
sickness and injury. Therefore, the
statement continued, the Blue
Cross asks all members to. be OF
guard against those who are sprea
ding erroneous reports to the de
teriment of the organization IL
which so many Delawareans have
50 vital stake.
The Blue Cross officials stresses
the fact that while new member
are not accepted after age 65. tha
membership already establishes
continues indefinitely beyond tha
age, without discrimination as t
benefits, hospital or surgical.

Health and

THE VITAMIN eB COMPLEX
DR.. Sophia Brunson


Today we hear a great deal from
patients about vitamin Bl, of vita
min B complex. Many of them say,
"My doctor put me on vitamin B
complex: in fact I got so run down
and weak that l was glad to get
help. Oh yes, do feel better. 1t
has benefited me-"
Why do people need to take so
many vitamins, pills and capsules
as they do today? To one who
knows foods and the diet of civil
lied peoples, the answer is not far
to seek. It is all due to malnutri-
ton from denatured and devital-
lied foods.
It is we'll to remember that COM
plex refers to a group of vitamins,
which help to keep the nervous sy-
stem in good condition. 1t also has
Ia decided effect upon the digestive
tract in helping it to function prop
erly. This complex is necessary to
the health of the stomach and of all
the digestive organs. 1t contains
such substances as thiamin or vita
min Bl; riboflavin, or vitamin BIZ,
and nicotine acid, also called the
P. P. or pellagra- preventing fac
tor.
Physicians who have tried giving
only part of the B complex found
that patients got along better who
took the whole complex. For ex-
ample, those who took either thia-
min or riboflavin alone did not get
well, but continued to suffer from
gas and indigestion, but when they
took them in connection with nico-
tine acid and the rest of the COM
plex, most of them improved.
There are certain foods which
supply the B complex. Some of the
foods are liver, yeast, whole grain
and cereals (among these cereals
are whole wheat and oat meaD. It
is very unfortunate that wheat is
so denatured and devitalized in
milling processes before it comes
to the tables of civilized people.
Whole wheat contains many i'm
portant minerals and vitamins up
on which human beings depend for
health. Many of these are removed
in our modern milling processes.
We have just said that while Wit
amin complex is needed that one
part or two, does very little good.
You can readily see the fallacy of

SCANDAL & GRAFT

Evidences Of scandals, graft and
corruption in those states opera

cited in a pamphlet released today
by the Minnesota Wine and Spir-
its Institute. The booklet Is made
up Of reprints of news stories
from newspapers pointing up the
Irregularities arising out Of the
States operation Of the liquor dis

In Ohio, the pamphlet states,
corruption and mismanagement
has resulted in a statewide expose
Of the liquor administration and
government officials stating lii
quor monopoly as operated in Ohio
Is a dismal failure and 1t demands
action on the part of the Legisla-
ture to end the farce"
Other releases point to the evils
Of the Wyoming system and lndi-
cate that "Bootlegging Is still a
somewhat fourishing business in
Wyoming as the recent vice crack
down at Casper disclosed"
The pamphlet points to glazing
abuses in the matter Of tie-in sales
with the Rutland. VT. Herald stat
ing, The liquor administration has
in the past, attempted to shuck
off these inferior brands of liquor
by forcing consumers who bought
in bulk qantities to accept quotas
of inferior types along with orders
of popular, well-advertised brands.
These practices are commonly
known as tie-in sales"
News stories, reproduced in the
pamphlet, reveal that in a number
Of states operating under the dis
pensary system, efforts are being
made TO return the business to pri-
vate enterprise. The booklet re-
fers to an editorial in the Cincin-
natl, Ohio Enquirer that the
state need not lose any profit
from return Of the liquor business
to private enterprise where it
nghtfuny belongs. The editorial
further states that a tax of 81 per
gallon on all liquor sold in the
state would produce an amount
equal to the present revenue.

Cluded the text of a suggested pro-
vision to be included in any new
legislation to safeguard the right
to work of all minority groups,
including fifteen million American
Negroes" 1t follows:
Any agreement between an
employer and a union requiring
employees, as a condition Of
employment, to be members OF
any union which by its cOnsti-
tuition, bylaws, regulations,
rules or long established prac-
tees, denies full membership to
any person because Of his race,
religion, color or national origin
Is hereby declared contrary to
public policy, and shall be I'm
enforceable In the courts OF the
United States or Of the several
states, or by the National Labor
Relations Board.
Young's request to be heard
by the Committee, he said, was TO
present evidence showing necessity
for such a provision in new labor
lew if freedom of employment is to
be preserved for workers and en-
ployers alike"
The present Taft-Hartley law in
cludes a section preventing unions
because of discriminatory rules or
constitutional restriction from
forcing employers to discharge
employees in a union shop If they
are not members of the union.
In cases of such discrimination,
the union shop agreement is not
binding upon the employer. The
