Physicians Lobby Lduds
Ruce-Hdter's S Attack On
Health Insurance Plan

Washington (LPA) - The Natl
Physicians Committee, lobbying
front for the American Medical
Assn, is using propaganda from a
notorious race-hating, labor-bait-
ing, anti Semitic, in the campaign
to block health insurance legisla-
tion.
The newest tool of the medical
lobby is Dan Gilbert, discredited
super nationalist and erstwhile as
sociate of William Dudley Pelley
and Gerald Winrod. The Physicians
Committee has sent to ministers
and doctors thruout the US a four
page letter signed by Gilbert and
printed under his letterhead spread
ing vicious lies about the health in
surance legislation.
1t begins Dear Christian Amer
ican," a term often used by the
fascist-minded, and continues to
lambast health insurance chiefly
on the claim that it would endang-
er religious liberty in America.
The national health insurance pro-
gram recommended by President
Truman and now before Congress
in two bills, S. and HR 1888, has
nothing to do with religious liber-
ty.
Prize quote from the diatribe is
Gilbert's statement that if health
insurance is passed few bureau
Gratis inevitable "would establish
quotas for the baby crop in the
same way that the Agriculture
Dept theorists set quotas for
farm production"
Gilbert urges Christian believ-
ers everywhere to work and pray
that our beloved land may be de-
livered from the blight of this mon
strosity of Bolshevik Bureaucracy"
The language is familiar to stud
ents of sedition. AS disinterested
observers have pointed out, the
proposed health insurance program
is merely an extension Of the
established American social secur-
ity system.
The Physicians Committee labels
this Dan Gilbert letter lone of the
few really vital pronouncements
of an age" and asks its cores
pondents first to absorb its mean
ing, then to discuss it with minis
ters and editors of local news
papers. 1t uses its endorsement by
the American Medical Associations
House of Delegates to ask for
"zero hour contributions" over and
above the $25 which the ANA has
assessed each Of its members to
fight health insurance.
Despite the fact that the Physi
clans Committee is registered as d
lobby under the LaFollette- Mon
roney act, and last year reported
expenses exceeding those of any
other single lobby, it claims to be
"a non-political, non-proft organ
ization for maintaining ethical and
scientific standards and extending
medical service to all the people"
A year ago it badly attempted
to bribe the press into joining its
attack on health insurance when it
announced a contest for cartoon
lists. 1t offered them $4,000 worth
of prizes for the best published
cartoon against political distribu-
tion of health care services in the
United States" This so-called CON
test was denounced by writer's Of
all political compilations, as well
as on the floor of the Senate.
The use Of the Gilbert letter is
not the first time that racial hate
has figured in the campaign against
the health insurance bill. Only a
few months ago a vicious and un-
warranted pamphlet appeared un-
der the name of an author who
claimed to be a reserve officer Of

Useful as it may be from a
purely domestic standpoint, the
1850 decennial census of the
United States is also a part of a
much larger effort.
The economic needs Of the
world today demand a more ac-
curate set of facts and figures
than is available, and the census
here is expected to, set the pattern
for what eventually may turn out
to be the first census on a world
wide basis. ..--.
A decade ago plans were started
for the first co-ordinated count
of the Western Hemisphere. An
Inter- American Statistical Insti-
tute was formed to work out a
uniform basis for an inventory of
the population and living charac-
teristics of the people Of North
and South America.
Retarded by the war, the Insti-
tute has speeded its plans during
meetings in the last two years.
The director of the United States
Census Bureau. Philip M. Houser,
attended one of them last Febru-
ary in Rio de Janeiro. and others
have taken place since then.
Similar operations are sched-
uled to get under way in all the
countries Of the Western Hemi-
sphere. starting next year. Con-
Quoted along the same lines, and
collecting information defined by
a common standard. the result for
the first time in the history OF the
world will provide the basis for a
scientific study of population and
economic trends on a hemisphere
basis.
But the movement does not
stop there. The plan for q census

Mother Grabs Infant
From Crib in BIazinq,
Smoke-Fi|Ied Room

A 4-month-old boy was rescued
from a burning home today when
his mother, Mrs. David Grogan.
dashed through fire and smoke to
pull him from his crib.
The fire burned out a second
story bedroom of the Grogan
home on the Derwood- -Redland
road, 4 miles east of Gathers
burg, Md.
Mrs. Grogan was working in the
basement of the tWo-story frame
house about II am. when she
went to the second floor, still un-
aware of the fire.
Opening the bedroom door, she
was driven back by flames and
smoke so dense she could not see
the crib. Running into the room,
she picked up the infant and fled
to safety.
Sic suffered slight burns on
the arms, but the boy was not
injured.
Four other Grogan children. all
under 7 years, were on the first
floor. The damage was confined
largely to the bedroom. Firemen
said the fire apparently started
under a bed.
The Rockville Fire Department,
first on the scene, later was as
sisted by the Gaithersburg de-
partment. Mr.. Grogan, who is
manager of an Acme Market in
Rockville, was at work.

The second category applleS 10
countries like Japan, or Russia,
or, to an increasing extent, to
India. In these areas, indus
trialization is relatively recent
development. The birth rate still
has the characteristics Of an
agrarian community. but the
death rate is decreasing as head
way is made in the control Of
disease and famine. The result
is that the populations Of these
areas, which also include certain
parts of Southern Europe are
rapidly increasing.
The third category Of popula-
ton changes is the one which ap-
plies to the United States. and
to most of the countries Of Wes-
ern Europe. It represents, appar-
emily, the final stage reached by
a country through induStrializa-
ton. The low death rate, decreas-
ing birth rate and eventual popu-
Iation decline which exists in the
United States is true in a more
advanced stage in other nations
which have reached the same
stage Of industrial advancement.
The historical pattern is not
reassuring to nations In the third
category. That pat
tern shows clearly that few ma
tions, faced with declining popu-
lations have long been able to
the status Of q world
power. In France, where the
process is more advanced, the
problem has been attacked on al
national basis, with every effort
made to keep the birth rate up.
The same thing, Of course, was
true Of Germany under Hitler
and of Italy under Mussolini,
where state efforts to reverse
the existing trend were carried

Che|f Urges U. 5. Law
For Sexual 0ffenses
AGAINST Children

Strengthening Of penalties
against sex offenders where the
victim is a child was advocated
today by Representative Chelf.
Democrat. of Kentucky, who
urged a Federal law carrying the
death penalty in certain cases.
Horrified by ver-increasing"
crimes Of this nature, Mr.. Chelf
said the law would be as effective
"a brake on such crimes as the
Lindbergh law has been in con-
trolling kidnapping.
Punishment should range be-
tween 10 and 20 years for attacks
in which the child survives to life
Imprisonment or death in fatal
crimes. he added.
Would Bar Insanity Defense.
Mr. Chelf, who is a member of
the House judiciary Committee,
said he would propose a constitu-
tional amendment if that were
deemed necessary to obtain the
legislation.
Mr.. Chelf said the law should
bar insanity as a defense, but
should allow for mental treatment
of those convicted and sent to
prison.
Even the so-called perverted
mind is dumb like a fox when a
tough sentence or even death
stares him in the face" the legis-
lator said.
Apparently the State laws are
insufficient to cope with this great
menace to our society,""
d. C. Law Tightened in '4S.
In the summer of 1948 Congress
enacted a law tightening the Dis
trict Jaw against sex offenders. It
took the crime of molesting chill
dren out of the misdemeanor class
and made it punishable by as
much as 10 years Imprisonment.
It also went a step in the direc-
ton proposed by Mr.. Chelf by
making possible psychiatric treat
ment Of such criminals at st.
