Among the interests fighting Co
lumbia Valley Administration legis-
lation (CVA) is the Washington
State Reclamation Association. Like
wise among the interests fighting
MVA is the North Dakota Reclama-
ton Association. Little is known
about these organizations - who
makes their policies, where do they
get their funds, etc. Much of their
propaganda seems to be done up to
convey the idea that they are Off
cial agencies of government. In
North Dakota Harry f. Polk is the
chief administration officer of the
association.
Where the North Dakota division
gets its funds, so far as the Union

Gently.
He made this statement during an
attack on the AMA's tremendous
multi-million dollar campaign of pro-
paganda and Misrepresentation
against the National Health lnsur-
ance bill.
Dingell and Rep. Andrew Biemil-
ler d., Wisc.) have introduced bills
in the house proposing national
health program including a nation
wide system of health insurance.
Testifying at hearings on the ma

mittee of the House Interstate q

Dingell charged that the ANA lobby
is trying to make m7mbers of con-
gress think "that thOre is grass
roots against the Presidents health
program"
Evidence confirming his charges,
Dingell told the committee, came
from the AMA's own campaign plan
techniques to be used to
fight health insurance.
This shows, he said, "that the doc
tors of this country are being asked
to take advantage of their special,
confidential relationship with their
patients = including particularly
members of congress-to lobby
against what President Truman and
many members of congress feel is a
health program in the interest of the

inc as he is ''to the strangling effect

Both, he said "are corrosive and
etrimental to the peoples welfare"
Declaring that in its "educa-
tional campaign" the ANA had
taken pains to present only one
side of the issue to the public,
Dingell pointed out that "no medi-
cal journal has ever presented to
the doctors fair article by an ad-
vocate of the Presidents health !
contrary to the record
of British and Canadian doctors"
In line with this policy, Dingell
aid, the ANA plan warns doctors
against engaging in debates, because

on. Obviously this is an issue on

"THE GREATEST
STORY EVER TOLD"

"The Greatest Story Ever
Told" the radio program
which dramatizes the teach
ings of Christ, ranks as about
the best thing radio has done
in the past decade.
Though the program is spon-
sored by The Goodyear Tire &
Rubber Company, it was de-
cided to reflect the spirit of
the program in it's own actions,
and no commercial reference
or institutional comments are
permitted on the program. On
ly sponsor Identification, as re-
quired by the Federal Com
munications Commission, is
given.
WENR- Sundays at $50.
One big question which pre-
sented itself was whether to
use the portrayal of the voice
of Christ on the air. No reli-
gious program had done this
before, and there was a lot of
discussion about it. Some felt
it might be almost sacriligious
to do so. However, the step
was taken, and the portrayal
of the voice of Christ, speak
ing only actual words ascrib-
ed to Him in the Scripture, has
proved to be a standout of each
program.
In addition to being heard
in this country, this program
is short-waved to fifty-eight
other countries all over the
world, and is available on re-
cords produced at cost.
In this connection, it is in
teresting to note that 'the
Christus" in Zion Passion Play
uses only the words as found
in the King James version of
the Bible.

to look around at the mines
while we are here, too. The

you should have seen how dus-
