Hearings on Voluntary
Health Insurance Plan
By George Beveridse
StoS SfoH Correspondent

sATLANTTC CITY, June T.
An American Medical Association
committee today began hearings
on the important question of
whether a standard program OF
voluntary medical care insurance
can be offered on Nationwide
scale.
One of the most controversial
subjects before the AMA's 98th
annual convention, such pro-
gram Is viewed by voluntary in
surance leaders as necessity in
order to offer contracts covering
workers of large industries.
AT a meeting last winter. the
ANA refused to indorse a pro-
posal to form a national "insur-
ar1ce company" which would
guarantee standard benefits
through hospital and medical care
prepayment plans to all employees
Of an industry, regardless Of
where they lived. In areas where
existing plans could not furnish
the standard benefits, the company
would subsidize the difference.
One Plan Awaits ANA.
"A National Blue Cross Co. TO
provide hospital benefits already
has been organized and has ap-
pied for incorporation in Illinois.
A. conference of Blue Shield
(medicaD officials decided a few
weeks ago to await ANA action
before making further plans.
The committee will report to
the policy y-making House of Dele
gates tomorrow or Thursday, with
further recommendation on what
part the ANA should play in the
network of voluntary prepayment
plans. At present the ANA ap-
points 6 of the Is members of
the Blue Cross Commission.
It was reported that the house
also may take further action in
spelling out future activities of
DR.. Morris Fishbein, veteran ANA
journal editor: who yesterday was
stripped Of most of his duties by
the ANA Board of Trustees. The
board also announced plans for
the retirement of DR.. Fishbein,
long regarded as the foremost
spokesman for organized medi-
cine.
The boards announcement was
referred to a special committee
for study, and further debate may
take place If the committee re-

ines 1t probably to many representatives
attending the meeting in Baltimore last week of the
League of Maryland Municipalities that the State con-

of calling constitutional convention be voted every

son VIII be: Al
Dark, the Braves shortstop; Richie
Ashburn. the fleet-footed Phillip
outfielder; Billy Goodman, the Red
Sox first baseman; Larry Dolby, the
Indian outfielder, and Hank Sauer,
and Virgil Stallcup of the Reds.
Some Of the pitchers under
scrutiny will be: Gene Bearden
of the Cleveland club; Robin
Roberts and Curt Simmons OF
the Phillies; Bob Porterfield of
the Yankees; Pjttsburgh's Bob
Chesnes; Ralph Hammer % the
Cubs and Erv Palica and s few
other Dodger entries.
The three prize rockies who can
play leading roles next season are
Dark, Ashburn and Bearden. Ash
burn will have no pehnant-winning
act to unroll, but Dark and Bearden
might Both are fine young ball
players on teams that won PEN
nants last fall, largely or partly
because these two rockies were
around. The Braves couldn't have
won without Dark and the Indians
couldn't have won without Bearden.
1 can almost hear Billy South
worth singing: Honey dear, listen
here-Im afraid to go home with
out Dark"
Dark, great football player
almost another Van Buren,, fine
golfer-a star all-around athlete,
can be the top entry of 1919.
So can Gene Bearden of the
Indians. If Dark is as good as
he was last year, and Bearden
is just as effective. we might
see replay Of 1913 this next
season. npha!s
Raschi and Porterfeld can mean
a lot to the Yankees. You may re-
call the able job Frank Shea did
for the Yankees in 1947 He was a
different Shea in 1948, where he had
exchanged his streamlined form
for a blimp. If Shea reports at 100
or 1913 pounds, he has chance. He
has plenty in the way of stuff. and

Dolby, like Raschi, is hardly
sophomore. He was around in l947.
But not too much in evidence. His
first big year was 1948 and he has
the equipment needed to have a
bigger year in 1949.

Looking to 1919

We are now looking through win
ter's snowstorms, mists and fogs
into the campaign of 1949 from late
April to October. Who will be the
star rookie of l949 to make good on
his second trip around?"
You already have the leaders
Dark. Bearden, Ashburp and Good
man. Dolby can Pelrated, if you
figure him a 1913 freshman or a
l949 sophomore.
Dolby is as good an all-ar0und
outfielder as I've seen besides
Musial, williams, and DiMag-
gio. And Bearden is the best
young pitcher I've seen in some
time. He was the pennant and
the worlds series savior Of
1913. But there are always pit
falls ahead. Who can tell where
they are?
In 1947, Ewell Blackwell looked
to be one of the star pitchers of
many years. The 6-foot 6-inch star
from California won % games and
lost eight with the dropping Reds.
With other teams he would have
passed the 80 mark. Here was one
of the great young pitchers from
baseball history to reach the game.
But it was a different story in
1913. The tall and willowy Black
well came along with sore arm.
He was never right through the
l948 season, where the year before
he had pitched IT consecutive no.
hit innings.
You can't pitch with a sore
arm. Blackwell couldn't. You
can't pitch with too much fat.
Shea couldn't. YOU can only
pitch when you are in shape.
You can only play baseball when
you are in shape, and yet last
spring I'd say that about 20 per
cent of the players who reported
were not in nearly as good condi.
ton as Ducky Medwick was. and
Medwick has been around for
more years than most of us can
remember.
Medwick has always reported in
shape. And then gotten in better
shape. Most ballplayers report in
soggy shape and spend most of
their time trying to work off fat
