Truman Calls On
Congress To Enact
Matt Health Plan

Washington (LPA)-A renewed
appeal for action on a nationwide
system of health insurance was
sent to Congress late last week by
President Truman.
eve should lost no time in max
ng full-scale beginning on all
parts Of our health program" he
told Congress, "At the same time
hat we are putting health insur-
ance into operation, we should be
establishing the hospitals and
clinics, and training the medical
personnel, that the insurance sys.
tenn will enable US to afford.
"We cannot, Of course, achieve
our goals fully until the system has
been in operation for some time
That fact emphasizes the need for
early Legislative action"
Members of Senate and House
who have been fighting for health
insurance, especially Rep. John
Dingell Cd, Mich. and Sen. James
Murray I'd, Mont.) hailed the Tru-
man message, which reinforces
their drive.
"Many people are concerned"
President Truman observed, "about
the cost of a national health pro-
gram. The truth is that it will save
a great deal more than it costs. We
are already paying about AZ of
our national income for health
care. More and better care can be
obtained for this same amount Of
money under the program | am
recommending. Furthermore, we
can and should invest additional
amounts in an adequate health pro-
gram-for the additional invest
ment will more than pay for itself.
"The real costs of our present
inadequate medical care is not
measured merely by doctors bills
and hospital bills. The real cost to
society is in unnecessary human
suffering and the yearly loss of
hundreds of millions of productive
working days. To the individual
the real costs are the shattering of

Green Says AFL
Will Rid Congress
OF Reactionaries

New York (LPA) - The AFL
will spare no effort to rid Congress
of it's reactionaries and obstruc-
tionists, President William Green
promised a rally of AFL postal
workers in New York, on the eve
of the Taft Hartley debate in the
House.
Commenting on Congress- failure
to increase the pay of government
employees and its stalling on min
imum wage law improvements, the
AFL chieftain declared: Congress
is refusing to accord justice to
workers in both private industry
and government"
He pledged all-out AFL support
to the postal workers in their drive
to secure a better wage for about
100000 people.
"The record of the present Con-
gress consists of almost 902o talk
and filibuster," the veteran leader
declared. "Our patience will not
last indefinitely" he warned.
Were going to get out Of this
Congress or we're going to know
the reason why"
"On paper" Green said, "this
81st Congress is a vast improve
ment over the 80th Congress, but
it has yet to demonstrate by action
that it is any better"

statement asserts. Furthermore
the party will seriously consider
bringing under public ownership
the shipbuilding industry and the
chemical trust.
One evidence of increased Bri-
tish interest in American progress
sive thinking is the platforms con-
Germ with the problems of mono
polistic restrictions and price fix
ing in industries which Labor does
not plan to nationalize. Govern
ment-operated "yardstick" plants
in these industries will be estab-
lished if other means of dealing
with monopoly fail, the Labor
party promises. Free enterprise in
Britain must become more enter
prising," has become one of Labor's
watchwords.
While the contribution of the
trade unions, and of many employ
ers, to Britain's phenomenal in
crease in production during the last
few years is praised, the Labor
party warns that continued pro-
gress depends in part upon greater
willingness by employers to consult
the workers, and more training of
members in production problems
by the unions.

Senator Warns Oh
StrangIehold On
Radio In America

Washington (LPA)-If the Fed
eral Communications Commission
passes a clear-channel decision
which it is considering, a small
group of owners will completely
control radio in this country, Sen,
Edwin c. Johnson Cd, COLI warn
ed the Senate last week.
In a singing denunciation of the
way the FEC has been operating,
Johnson, chairman of the Senate
Commerce Committee, asked his
colleagues to consider "the fright
ening political and social conse-
quences of such a development"
The clear-channel lobby is made
up of 16 big broadcasters who have
whole frequencies to themselves
and operate powerful 50,000watt
stations. They want the FEC to
grant them 100000 watts of power
each. That means that the group,
led by Colonel McCormick's Chic
ago Tribune station, could blanket
the country with their programs,
squeezing smaller broadcasters off
the dial. Such superpower, says
Johnson, eventually would result
in three or four New York and
Chicago corporations controlling the
program material pouring in a
never-ending stream out of 10000
radios in the United States"
Sen. Joseph C. O'Mahoney Cd,
Wyo.) interrupted Johnson to
point out that such control exists
not only with respect to the clear
channels but with respect to all
forms of radio and television. "It
has come down to such position"
O'Mahoney declared, "that, if | re-
call the figures correctly, four or
five large advertising firms actual
ly control from 60 to 900 of all
the programs upon radio"
The Wyoming Senator empha-
sized the Importance of making
certain "that the administration OF
the law creates opportunities for
people everywhere to use this
great new avenue of public infor-
nation"

CONSUMER BENEFITS-Agri-
culture Secretary Charles Bran
nan, explaining his Fair Deal farm
program to Congress last week,
said that by paying directly to
farmers the difference between
market prices and a fair income,
the government would be able to
cut the retail price of milk 1c a
quart, and eggs &C a dozen below
present prices. Brannan's program
is aimed to assure farmers their
current income and to encourage
production of the most nourishing
and useful products, without MAX
ing the low-income consumers pay
the whole bill.

British Labor
Issues 1850
Platform Draft

London LPA) - The need foi
still more production and export to
support Britain's new social leg
islation-together with promises
of still more services for the peo-
ple-is the keynote to the draft
program for the British Labor
party's 1850 campaign.
This tentative platform was is
sued last week, affording ample
time for trade unionists and local
Labor party members to debate il
and propose amendments before
the annual party convention in
June.
The draft was approved not only
by the Labor Party executive COM
mittee, a majority of whose mem
bers are union men, but also by the
leading cabinet members of the
Labor government and an addi-
tional group of trade union. repre-
sentatives who were called in for
consultation.
In the foreign policy section OF
the platform, which pledges con-
tinued support to the European
recovery program, tribute is paid
to the part that US unions have
played in getting the Marshall plan
under way.
"Much of the progress that has
been made in European recovery
would have been impossible with
out American aid," the Labor party
leaders acknowledge. "The British
government made it clear that it
would accept no condition which
undermined our freedom to select
our own course, and no such con-
dition was demanded by the U.s."
"Much of the credit for this wise
and magnanimous outlook on the
part of the American people must
go to the American trade unions
and the work of their representa-
tives on the various bodies concern
ed with European aid. And this is
only one of the recent and dram
attic examples of the growing
power and influence of American
t r d e unionism and American
Labor
No immediate relief from "aus-
terity" is promised the British
people by the Labor party. Improv-
ed food standards depend largely
upon increased domestic food pro-
iuction, says the platform, which
ievotes considerable space to agri-
cultural policy. Continued food sub
sides to hold down consumer costs
are pledged, as is the improvement
n the system of food distribution.
The Labor party promises to
maintain full employment. Increas-
I'd public investment will be re-
sorted to if any threat of unem-
oloyment looms, the party plat
'orm declares.
Proud of it's naturalization of |
,oal, power, transport and the
specialization of the steel
industry, the Labor party points to
he governments ability to expand
he operation of these industries
is proof of its ability to keep full
employment.
During the next five years the
labor party, if returned to power,
will nationalize the cement, sugar,

Truman proposed, besides a ma

where they are needed, and an in
