ANA TACTICS MAKE TOP
ASSOCIATION OFFICIAL
RESIGN POSITION
By ROBERT S. ALLEN

The American Medical Association
has lost one of the top officials of its
$3,50O,000 drive against the Presi-
dents national health insurance pro-
gram.
He is David Brown, former editor
of Liberty magazine.
Brown resigned because of strong
disapproval of tactics and statements
by Whitaker and Baxter, the high
powered, 500, 000-a-year team of
California publicity agents employed
by ANA to mastermind its campaign.
One W-B assertion particularly
challenged by Brown was an init
nation that the Justice Department
is terrorizing doctors opposing the
Presidents plan. This charge was
made to Washington newsmen.
Brown investigated and stated he
found the claim untrue.
An ace editor, Brown left Liberty
to become editorial director of the
AMA's drive. He was in immediate
charge of the series of dinners ANA
is staging for newsmen in big cities.
In resigning, Brown told Whitaker
and Baxter that if he had known in
advance the nature of their methods
and policies, he would not have join
ed them.

practice, the department now will adhere
to one-price policy so that consumers
will be assured that the spuds they eat
are at least as good as those dumped.
Furthermore, the farmer who fails to
restrict his crop according to planned al
lotments will flnd himself ineligible for any
price-support aid from the Government.
Federal officials hope in this way to re-
duce the surplus materially. Finally, the
department is taking advantage of the
flexible provisions of the price support
law passed by the 8Oth Congress. This law
permits lowering of support prices from
80 to go per cent of parity. Using the latter
figure, the department this year will allow
an average of $1.S0 hundred pounds as
compared with last years allowance of
$2.75 hundred pounds.
These are moves that will have the ap-
proval OF most consumers and taxpayers
ANY plan which will reduce the waste of
potatoes and reduce the drain on the
Treasury is welcome one. If Federal ex-
perts or congressional investigators mean
while can devise some less improvidant
way of assuring potato producers a fair
profit, the country at large will be grateful.

The Pressure Is On

An omen of the struggle which lies ahead
over executive reorganization proposals is
seen in the action of the House in tacking
some separate package" amendments onto
the administration reorganization bill.
While the House needed the advice of
President Truman and of Herbert Hoover
against any outright "hands-off' provisos,
1t could not entirely resist the pressures
building up in behalf of preferential treat
ment for certain agencies il
As a result, the bill as finally passed
would prevent the President from submit
ting one comprehensive reorganization
program for congressional consideration
and possible veto. Instead, he would have
to submit more than one proposal, each
distinct in itself, if he should desire to
make any reforms in the military services
or In half a dozen civilian agencies. BY
naming the National Military Establish
ment, the Federal Reserve System, the
Interstate Commerce Commission, the
Securities and Exchange Commission, the
Railroad Retirement Board, the National
Mediation Board and the National Rail-
road Adjustment Board, the House, in
effect, served notice that these agencies
Hoover Commission already had agreed
that certain regulatory agencies should
remain independent, but urged that the
President be given free hand to recon-
mend which ones should be exempted and
which should be reorganized, perhaps only
in slight degree.
It was evident before the House acted
that partisans of various agencies already
were at work. The "reorganize-as-much-
as-you- please but do not touch me" forces
always have swung into action whenever
reorganization was attempted. A barrage
OF kilograms and letters has descended Or
the Capitol, more than two thousand tele-
grams alone having been sent in protest
against including the Army Engineers in
any of the proposals. The latter movement
undoubtedly was inspired by the sugges-
ton of a Hoover task force that certain
rivers and f1arbors engineering functions
be divorced from purely military super
vision.
Mr. Hoover, taking cognizance OF these
pressures, commented yesterday that "as
soon as Congress refuses to be moved by
these propaganda booms, we will accom-
plish something" Mr.. Hoover was only
echoing the views of Controller General
Lindsay Warren and others who have
learned from experience that reorganiza-
ton can become hopelessly begged down
by exemptions even before program can
be drawn up. The President should be
given free rein to consider the far-reaching
and promising suggestions of the Hoover
group and to prepare his own program
including his own recommendations in the
hands off field Congress, in the end, will
have the right to veto the program or any
part of 1t. That is the orderly way and
the only way which holds any real hope
for effective reorganization of the present
wasteful executive establishment.

In Proise of the Broin

The human brain, which has been taking
quite q beating for the past generation
or so, still has right to feel pretty proud
of itself OF course, because its wisdom
lags far behind its amazing inventiveness,
it has put the world into a dreadful
inuddle, and conceivably it may yet be
overwhelmed and destroyed by its own
works of genius, such as the atomic bomb
and supersonic flying contraptions. Never
theless, from purely technical viewpoint,
1t is so wondrously contrived that it can
look down It's nose and scoff at all attempts
TO replace 1t with electronic calculating
machines.
Several such machines have been
developed, and they undoubtedly are ex-
ceedingly clever, considering the fact that
they are inanimate However, as pointed
out by Dr. w. s. >McCulloch, professor of
psychiatry at the University of Illinois,
they actually are stupid in the extreme
when compared to the human brain.
Thus, In the professors judgment, even
the best of them-a remarkable gadget
that does It's "thinkii.s" with the help
of about $4,000 electronic tubes-has
mentality not much brighter than a fiat
worms when measured in terms of the
divinely designed and infinitely complex
minds that men are born with.
In fact, according to DR.. McCulloch, If
the smartest engineers in the world sat
down together to build mechanical dupli
cate of the human brain, the machine,
for operation purposes, would require all
the hydroelectric power that could be
generated by Niagara Falls, and the total
volume of the Niagara River would be
needed to keep it cool enough to think"
Moreover, it would be so big that huge
skyscraper would have to be erected to
house it. The reason for this is that mans
living mind contains about ten billion
neurons, or nerve cells, which play a role
comparable to that of the electronic tubes
In artificial calculating devices.
In the circumstances, since 1t is hardly
conceivable that. anybody Is going to take
the trouble Of building machine with

Visitor From Norwoy

Norwegian Foreign Minister Lange's
visit to Washington should focus attention
on the fandicaps under which democratic
societies labor when they try to organize
against the threat of aggression from a
totalitarian state.
Norway would like to subscribe to the
North Atlantic Security Pact. Given a
free choice, it undoubtedly would do so
But Norway has common frontier with
Russia, and the Russians are bringing
severe pressure to bear to keep the Nor
wegians aloof from any such alliance.
So Mr.. Lange, as an official responsible
primarily for the safety of his own people,
has come to Washington. He wants to
know two things. First, what Norway's
obligations would be if she should join
the western nations. And, second, what
degree of security" the alliance would
member.
The first question should not be too
hard to answer. But the second Is
different matter.
AS Mr.. Lange we'll knows the Soviet
government has full freedom of action.
# the Soviets should deem it expedient
to do so, they can send the Red Army
into Norway, and there is little the Nor
wegians could do to defend themselves
They would have to look for security to
the other members of the North Atlantic
pact, and, primarily, to the United States.
On this score, however, very little assur
ance can be given him. Before the United
States can become a member of the North
Atlantic security group the Senate would
have to ratify treaty defining the obliga-
tions which we assume. And neither the
President nor the Secretary of State can
tell Mr.. Lange what the final nature of
that treaty will be, or even whether any
such treaty would be ratified.
In word, under our political system, 1t
is impossible for any one to give any guar
antee as to what this country would do
in any given situation. So the Norwegian
government will have to make it's decision
fully aware that 1t can have no positive
advance assurances. 1t will be hard and
possibly dangerous decision for the Nor
wegians to make. If, in these circum-
stances they finally join the western alli-
ance, they will have demonstrated once
again the courage and hardihood for which
they are Justly renowned.

For Less Pototo Waste

Potato consumers will be glad to know
that the Government is trying to do some
thing about the annual waSteful surpluses
resulting from the price support program
of recent years. If measures taken by the
Department of Agriculture prove effective,
this years piles of surplus tubers awaiting
destruction will be smaller than those of
last year. That would mean substantial
saving in the price support program which
cost the Government more than $150,000,
900 in 1948.
1t was hard for the average housewife to
understand why huge piles of surplus po-
,tatoes were being destroyed at time when
potato prices were high. Nor could she
understand why the potatoes pictured in
those waste heaps were of better quality
than the ones offered her in the stores.
And some farmers, who saw neighbors with
large surpluses benefiting from supported
prices, questioned the fairness of a
program which tended to penalize grow
ers who complied with Federal requests to
curb production.
The Department of Agriculture admits
that the potato program has had short
comingS-aSide from the obvious one of
food destruction as a means of maintain
ing farm prices. Last year, for example,
the Government paid two prices for sur
plus potatoes, according to grade. The net
result was that farmers sold only their
higher grade produce to the Government,
reserving lower quality potatoes for COM
mercial buyers who offered more than the
Government price. Hence, the better po-
tatoes were being given the kerosene
treatment while the less desirable tubers
found their way to market. To end this

Thank You Train

France and the United States have been
exchanging gifts for long time One of
them was Lafayette, and another was
Pershing. The THANK You Train which
arrived. in Washington date Saturday night
is but an additional symbol Of the good
will and the mutually which bind the two
great republics.
Characteristically, both this train and
the Friendship Train which it acknowl
edges have been the result of independent
initiative. Six million French citizens sent
these cars to America to say "Merci'' to
all the contributors to the earlier enter
prise in aid of France. Each of the thou
sands of gifts to be distributed from the
Thank You Train represents an individual
choice, a personal gesture Of gratitude.
People, not simply organized governments,
are speaking to each other.
Such exchanges are possible only between
free communities. Totalitarian states have
no such funds of natural popular feeling
upon which to draw. Societies which are
regimented by dictators and patterned to
planned economies are robbed of their
humane endowments. After that pilfering
has been completed, they have nothing
left to give save slavish obedience to their
masters. Spontaneous expression perishes
in them Their arts become propaganda
for fixed idea, their sciences are stulti-
fed to single arbitrary dogma.
Providentially, France and the United
States still have their liberty. So the
Friendship Train and the Thank You Train
have been spiritual experiences. They
have drawn the two nations. the two peo-
Piles closer together. Indeed, they exem-
plify the mystic principle Of the Psalmist:
Behold, how good and how pleasant 1t Is
for brethren to dwell together in unity:"

OverzeuIous Police

The controversy between photographer
and policeman who ruined his films
seems to have been settled to the salts
faction of the immediate parties to the dis
pute. If so that officially is the end of the
matter. But the amicable settlement does
not remove the impression that this was a
high-handed piece of business on the part
of the policeman.
The photographer, representing the
Black Star Publishing Co. of New York,
was sent here to make pictures to illus
trate an article on Negro life in Washing
ton. At Seventh and P streets Sunday
afternoon he saw Negro police officer
questioning two youngsters who had been
riding double on bicycle. AS he was
preparing to "shoot" this scene, another
policeman, also colored, came up and
grabbed the camera. According to the
photographer. the officer said: I'm going
to take out that film. I ought to smash
this camera against telephone pole"
The officer then exposed the Aim and
ruined it.
The official explanation, offered by
Capt. Clyde N. Strange of the Second Pre-
cinct, is that the officer felt justified in
exposing the films because of a regulation
against, commercial photographers taking
street pictures without license.
This explanation sounds pretty lame.
There is nothing to indicate that the
policeman asked whether the photographer
was licensed, or that he had any reason
to assume that he was commercial street
photographer. And even If the contrary
had been true. the officer had no right to
do more than arrest the photographer.
Certainly he had not the slightest right to
seize the camera or to destroy the film. 1t
would seem that Captain Strange, instead
Of offering excuses, would have done better
to give this officer some needed instruction
on the evils of police abuse of authority.
