Macarthur Answers
Magazine Charge on
Jap Communism
By the Associated Press

NEW YORK, Jan. ga magazine
article claiming Gen. Macarthur has
"misled the American people" about
the extent of communism in Japan
today brought sharp criticism from
Gen. Macarthur himself, the maya
zine said.
The article in the current issue of
Look magazine, written by Hallett
Abend, former foreign correspond
ent, said Gen. Macarthur has
"lulled us into a false sense of Sc
curity about the perilous situation
in the Far East"
1t cited purported Communist in
filtration into japanese labor unions.
1t also asserted that Russia had
made propaganda use of alleged
"high-handed and undemocratic
methods" of the Allied supreme
commander in Japan.

Pennsylvania Doctor
Drafts US, Health Plan
Without Specialization
BY the Associated Press

PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 8-The
president of the Pennsylvania State
Medical Society declared today that
President Truman's medical aims
can be achieved without socialized
medicine" He said he has drafted
a 10-point program as substitute.
DR.. ellison Colby Engel, Phila-
delphia surgeon who heads the
second largest State medical So
ciety, said at press conference that
his plan was drawn up at the re-
quest of group of Senators headed
by Senator Morse, Republican, of
Oregon.
And, Dr. Engel said, he'll present
his plan in Washington next week.
Heading DR.. Engel's program is a
provision whereby the Government
would pay for the membership of
the medically INDECENT" in volrln-
tary disqualification and medical in
surance plans.
Sets Top Cost At Billion.
DR.. Engel estimated that it would
cost no more than one billion q
year for the Government to pay for
membership in the plan for those
who can't afford to pay the premi-
ums themselves.
The surgeons plan calls also for
the Government to subsidize the
education of some medical students
and to underwrite the cost and
training of all nurses.
Dr. Engel said 1T is time the
doctors themselves suggested a Gov
eminent plan" He said his pro-
posal would cost less than Mr.. Tru-
mans and that it would not upset
the medical framework of Ameri-
can medicine.
Other recommendations in DR..
Engel's plan are that:
l. A survey be made for establish
ment OF diagnostic clinics and small
50-bed hospitals in areas at some
distance from large hospitals II
2. Support be given to established
research groups in universities and
medical schools.
3. The cabinet post Of Secretary of
Health be created to direct Federal
health activities.
4. Army and Navy medical corps.
Public Health Service and Veterans
Administration doctors be CONSOLE
dated into a unified Medical Corps
of the United States"
S. Preventive public health edu-
cation programs be promoted.
6. Mental hygiene clinics and a
preventive mental health program
be set up.
7. Partisan politics be removed
from appointments to public health
posts.

rest will probably seriously weaken
our already shaky position" Mr.
Abend wrote.
The magazine said Gen. Mac
Arthur had replied in a cablegram
to Gardner Cowles, editor of Look,
that the article was completely un-
realistic.
Look quoted Gen. Macarthur as
saying that the article follows the
exact line of false propaganda now

day.
Many highly placed members OF
the occupation forces" Mr.. Abend
wrote, "see the probability of Japan
turning anti American and pro-
Russian. Gen. Macarthur blandly
assumes that all is sweetness and
light and that communism has no
chance"
He said the facts are kept from
the American people by a censor
ship as vicious as it is effective
one for which Gen. Macarthur must
be held personally accountable.

deeply. His sermon was taken from
the 25th chapter Of st. Matthew

What A Baby Costs

How much do babies cost" said he
The other night upon my knee
And then l said: "They cost lot;
A lot of watching by a cot,
A lot of sleepless hours and care,
A lot of heart-ache and despair,
A lot of fear and trying dread,
And sometimes many tears are shed
In payment for our babies small,
But everyone is worth it all.
For babies people have to pay
A heavy price from day to day -
There is no way to get one cheap.
Why. sometimes when they're fast
asleep
You have to get up in the night
And go and see that they're all right
But what they cost in constant care
And worry, does not half compare
With what they bring OF JOY ana
bliss
You'd pay much more for just q KISS
who buys baby has to pay
He has to give his time and thought
Unto the little one he's bought.
A portion of the bill each day;
He has to stand a lot of pain
Inside his heart and not complain:
And pay with lonely days and sad
For all the happy hours he's had.
All this a baby costs, and yet
His smile is worth it alksyou bet.

WE NEED A COMMUNITY CENTER
AS TIME GOES BY the need for a community center be-
comes more apparent. There should be a central meeting
place where programs, lectures and other community activities
could be conducted, That, indeed is one of our great needs,
and thought should be given to it,
Q MANY YEARS the commencement exercises of the
Christiansted High School, representing an .island-wide ac-
tivity has been conducted in the Christiansted Theatre, and
this through the courtesy of Messrs. Teytaud, Hansen and
Frederiksen. These gentlemen performed a real service, many
times putting aside their own interests, and accepting incon-
yeniences in order that the community may be served. That
we should not go calling upon these men is evident.
BUT THERE ARE other programs, of a different nature
which call for a place large enough, and controlled by the
community which could be used as the necessity arises. Such
a center could have rooms for meetings of smaller groups,
many of which could meet at the same time. Built with a view
to serving the entire community it should have adequate stage
space and all the facilities for dramatic plays and entertain
ments. In many towns such a center is used also for basket
ball and other indoor sports. For such a building could serve
as a gymnasium as well.
AS UAL, TIL first question is one of money, and
skeptics will throw up barriers of every type, but that does
not have to stand. Such a project could be undertaken by the
community as a community enterprise, or it can be done
through the legislature, or better still as a combined project,
matching private funds with public funds. It's management
could be Joint, with a committee or group appointed by the
Council and the community.
OTHIN IS impossible, or even improbable, if people
want it badly enough. The need, everyone will agree, is pre-
sent, and once that is seen, we should begin thinking about
it. Nor does it have to be done within the year. Once plans
are on foot and a responsible group appointed to make a care
full study, it will be but a matter of time before the thing takes
shape.
