How good, how kind of Uncle Joe
How touching his solicitude!

Enshrined in regimented rows,
They gaze with placid, trusting

Nor does a thought of future woes
Becloud their proletarian skies.

Missouri Ruling Allows
Contract Breach Suits
lin Covenant Cases
Rv the Assocjoted Press

JEFFERSON CITY, Mo-, Dec.
13.-Property owners who sell to
Negroes in a racially restricted
area may be sued for breach OF
contract, the Missouri Supreme
Court decided yesterday.
Last year the United States Su-
preme Court held that real estate
agreements not to sell or lease
property to persons Of particular
race are not enforceable in courts.
The Missouri Court held yes
terday that Federal decision did
not go into another angle-wheth-
er one party to the original re-
striction could be sued for breach
of contract.
The opinion stated:
According to the law as we
understand it the trial court may
hear and determine an action for
damages for the breach Of the re-
striction agreement . without
violating any provision of the Fed
eral or State constitutions. We
are of the opinion that an action
for damages for the breach OF a
valid agreement need not be az
fected by the 14th amendment.
"The United States Supreme
Court has not expressly ruled on
this question as far as we are able
to determine"
(The 14th amendment to the
Federal Constitution provides
that no State shall make or en-
force law that shall abridge
the privileges or immunities OF
any citiZen.)

Missouri court were four suits over

Denies Ewing Charge
On Health Plan Fight
BY the Assoeioted Press

LONDON, Dec. ia group of
British doctors lambasted Ameri-
can Federal Security Administra-
tor Oscar r. Ewing today for his
views on Britain's national health
service.
The Fellowship for Freedom in
Medicine" target of remarks by
Mr.. Ewing here last week, retcrted
that "the public should realize that
Mr.. Oscar Ewing is Mr.. Aneurin
Bevin's opposite number in the
United States. Mr.. Bevan is Brit
ish Health Minister.
The group objected to being
tagged "a small group of diehards"
by Mr.. Ewing, retorting that on
the contrary it numbers 5000
members, most of whom are in
Britain's health service now and
are trying to make it work.
Propaganda Aid Charged.
Mr.. Ewing last week said the
British health program was sue
cess, and charged that certain
groups in organized American
medicine, opponents Of an Amer
lean health scheme. were con-
tributing to support the propa-
ganda activities of "a small group
of diehard British doctors who
are still fighting the national
health program.
The fellowship replied it was
not fighting the National Health
Program, but was fighting ito
keep party politics out of medi-
cine and so to preserve the high
standards and splendid traditions
of the profession in the best in
terests of patients and doctors
alike"
His statement is not the re-
suit of an impartial investigation,
but just another item in the Tru-
man administrations campaign
for its own national health pro-
gram, the fellowship Sa1d.
Called "Truman's Agent"
Lord Horder, who is the royal
physician and founder of the
fellowship, described Mr.. Ewing
as ''Mr. Truman's agent over here.
II do not mind his calling some
of us diehards, but I do object
when he suggests we are opposed
to the national health scheme, :"
he said. The fellowship, he ex-
planned, opposes some aspects of
the health program which it wishes
to correct.
The fellowship, in its formal
statement, said that none OF its
officers or members "has received
a penny from any American med
ical organization to speak in Amer
lea on the subject Of the national
health program"
