Endorses Warning
Against Decentralization
To the Editor Of The star: a

posal to Congress Of United States Repre-
sentative Jesse p. Wolcott. to be watchful
before II leaps into a series OF controls that
will legislate this country into another de-
precision or drive us into State socialism
We would like TO see that this mad rush
by our legislative bodies TO over -legislate be
eased up and time taken of for some deep
thinking.
Further. we would like to see some OF the
over-zealous legislators sleep of the urge TO
legislate us to destructive laws that will
cripple our country.

Why disqualification for the Old

To The Editor Of The star
read with a great deal Of sympathy the
letter to The Star about health insurance
discrimination against those who are 90.
signed "One Caught in the Pincers"
Group Health Association recognizes that
persons In the age group over so years are In
q difncult situation with reference 10 the
purchase of prepaid medical and hospital
protection. CHA would like nothing better
than to provide services for persons In tnis
group without any dinerential In rates.
Since We must operate on basis that La sc-
tuarily sound, We cannot escape the fact
that the cost OF providing medical care for
persons over so Is disproportionately high.
II is recognized that there are other perl
DDS Of life during which medical costs are
high. particularly In early infancy and
among adults during the child bearing age.
These are temporary periods OF high cost.
however. and organizations such as Group
Health Association assume that large per
centage of members In these groups viii
remain In the program beyond the period
when their medical needs are high.
Experience indicates. on the other hand.
that the medical needs OF persons In the
oyer-eo group win tend TO increase Con-
seuuently IL would be unfair 10 other Group

that persons joining CHA prior 70 their sosh
birthday are permitted 10 continue In the
program indefinitely On the same basis that
Is offered 70 persons In the younger age

OF the District Pound

TO the Editor o. 1ne STAR
As pet owner animal lover and 3o-year
washington resident and taxpayer. please
let me add my voice to those Of many others
whose letters are appearing In your columns
in vigorous denunciation Of proposals 10
deliver unclaimed animals from our District
Pound to medical laboratories TO be used
for vivisection purposes.
The function Of the pound Is to protect
unfortunate. homeless animals from unr,ec-
essary suffering, from cruelty and abuse.
The present pound master. Frank Marks. Is
q humane man. who synpathetically is dedi-
Gated to this purpose. The pound is sup
ported by public taxes.
To change Its traditional policy by allow
ing helpless, defenseiess domestic animals 70
be subjected to the most hideous possible
kinds OF prolonged torture In the mistaken
name Of medical science would be q
shameful betrayal Of the basic purpose for
which the pound was established. against
which all American citizens with any sense
of decency and compassion must rise In
