Letters to The Star
Another Testimonial On Free Medicine
In Britain Under Labor Government

Another Testimonial On Free Medicine
In Britain Under Labor Government
To the Editor OF The Star:
Testimony for and against the British
national health insurance scheme has ap-
peared in the columns Of local newspapers
in the form of quotes from personal letters
received here from friends or relatives
in England. Herewith I submit few SEN
fences from a longtime friend in London
a widow of about rs with no living relatives:
II have been in the Edgeware General Hos
pital for three months . The trouble Is
anemia in an acute form The doctors
were splendid . was put in the best
ward called the Sun Parlor' with only two
beds i. j.. If had paid many guineas, could
not have received better treatment"
The writer then goes on to explain that
she now is convalescing in her own home
but says that the local Gown council is
sending me home help three days week,
two hours each time, all free of charge
In addition, my friend remarks, my old
age pension, on which I live, is now 26
shillings week. which is good deal bet
ter than the 10 shillings we had before the
Labor government"
The writer of the above is person who
all her life has opposed the extension OF state
aid to individual citizens. Until she became
i'll, and for over 40 years, my friend sup
ported herself by translating into English
from foreign languages. Her personal saw
ings disappeared as a result Of the tragic
death of husband, son and daughter.

It will be a good thing for college foot
ball and college football players If the
controversy over the so-called Sanity Code
has the happy result of introducing little
sanity into the business of subsidizing
athletes.
Under the Sanity Code, athletic scholar
ships are frowned upon. An athlete is
supposed to work in exchange for the
financial assistance given him. The prin-
cipal result Of this, however, has been to
create an atmosphere Of sham in which
colleges compete bitterly for outstanding
high school athletes, with the greatest
success generally going to those institu-
lions that are most resourceful and most
devious in devising methods OF circum-
venting the code.
Some schools, including the University OF
Virginia and " P. l.. have come out against
the corner-cutting inherent in the Sanity
Code concept At Virginia, for instance,
It costs boy about $1,000 year to get
through school, If he has an honest job
at an honest rate of pay, say 81 an hour,
he has to work 1000 hours in nine months
to pay his expenses. In addition to this
he is supposed to play football And some
where along the line he is supposed to
put in the hours of class work and study
necessary to acquire an education.
Not many boys at any school can DO
this, and very few, if any, are doing it.
At virginia, . boy accepted for an athletic
scholarship receives the equivalent OF
$1,000 . year. He has to keep up With
his studies. But If he gets hurt, for In
stance, and cannot play football, he does
not lose his scholarship. The whole bust
ness is open and above-board, and that is
the way it ought to be. At a school like
Virginia, where the honor system Is in
force for the students, the university
authorities should not resort to subterfuges
TO attract athletes. And when boy Is
accepted, he should be given maximum
opportunity to get an education, which Is
his main reason for going to college.
In the name of the Sanity Code, how
several schools, including Virginia, V. p I.
and The Citadel, are threatened with
expulsion from the National Collegiate
Athletic Association. If this should hap
mem 1t might be a good thing. 1t might
prove to be the beginning Of the end OF the
present under timetable bidding for attn
ietes In which most schools participate.
And it might lead to system under winch
4 high school boy Of outstanding athletic
ability would be attracted to the college
Of his choice rather than to the hignest
bidder.

Undesirable DPS

The difference of opinion between Sem
ator McCarran and Ugo Carusi centers
around the issue Of whether subversive
individuals are coming to this country in
the guise of displaced persons. Senator
McCarran intimates that this Is the case;
Mr.. Carusi, DIP commission chairman, says
1t isn't so.
From the evidence available, Mr.. Carusi
seems to have the better of this argument.
If any subversives are worming their way
into this country through the DIP program,
that is not matter of public knowledge,
and it is worthy of note that Senator Nc
Carran names no names.
The really pertinent question Is not
whether subversives have slipped through,
but whether the DPS that are known to
have come in have lived up to their adj
vance billing as good prospective citizens.
On this score, there is some room for
doubt
A recent report from the chairman of
the Virginia DIP Committee says that ex-
perience with about one-third of the dis
placed persons brought into the Old Do
minion has been disappointing Most Of
those accepted in Virginia have come in as
farm workers, and they agreed to work
year as farm laborers for their sponsors.
A considerable number left for Northern
cities after from one to three months OF
farm work. Some obviously had not had
any previous farm experience, and must
have misrepresented their qualifications in
this respect. A few were not willing to
work at all, saying that life was easier in
the DIP camps abroad.
These things are not true, of course, of
the majority OF displaced persons who
have come into Virginia. And they are not
necessarily representative of the DIP pro-
gram as a whole, since the number adj
mitted to Virginia has been relatively
small. But it is enough to suggest that
the real trouble with the DIP program is
that the screening process has not been
thorough enough to make certain that all
applicants can and will live up to the
obligations which they have assumed.
