Criticizes Lowell Mellett's Defense
OF Fair Deal" Health Plan

To the Editor Of The Star:
After conscientious medical doctor sits
back and reads Lowell Mellett's contemptu-
GUS sniping at the medical profession for so
long, 1t becomes almost unbearabIe and for
this reason reluctantly attempt defense
Of our position.
Anyone who reads Mr. Mellett's column is
not deceived Of the fact that he is extremely
administration in his views almost to
the extent Of giving the impression he is
used as an official organ of the misnomered
Fair Deal" Typical of all Fair Dealers"
he persists in harping back to the early
1930's and repeats the terrible conditions"
that existed and what remarkable job has
been done to alleviate them. He seems un-
aware Of the $50 billion dollar debt incurred
in this vain attempt and that, instead of a
strong. fearless and united America, we are
divided, confused people, fearful of what
lies ahead with the administrators dogged
determination to destroy individual initia-
tive and freedom and substitute the some
thing for nothing" hoax of outmoded social
ism. He persists in repeating that some-
time in the distant past organized medicine
opposed even voluntary medical insurance
plans. This, DIR. Bauer. spokesman of
A. M. A., recently explained to the salts
faction OF any reasonable person. In the
early days of voluntary health insurance
there were about 800 plans, most of which
have discontinued operation The A. M. A.
maintained they were not sound, that they
did not deliver good medical care and the
public was being gypped. AS result four
different types of plans have developed
They have proved sound and workable and
are sanctioned by the A. M. A. Voluntary
health insurance now is considered the
fastest growing insurance project in the
history Of the country.
So-CaIled Medical Lobby" Defended.
When the A. M. A. decided to assess each
member $25 in order to support campaign
Of education simply to inform the American
public of the dangers Of compulsory health
insurance Mr.. Mellett. like all rabid New
Dealers, shouted Medical lobby!" He
carefully omits the fact that the taxpayers
money was deliberately being misused by
Government agencies In q campaign to mis-
inform the public Of the great benefits of
something for nothing - compulsory
health insurance. We consider our educa-
tional campaign as very important to the
American public and evidently quite sue
cessful. 4
Why does anyone want to change an
American system fostering individual ini-
tiative. which has produced the highest
standard Of medical care of any large nation
on earth, for an un-American system Of
compulsion which destroys private initiative
and lowers the standard of medical care?
New Zealand and Australia recently repudi-
ated such systems and their mother country
is on the verge Of bankruptcy trying to
maintain this practice of expensive inef-
hcient Government medicine
Mr.. Mellett disregards the opinions of
such men as DR.. Hawley former medical
director of the Veterans Administration,
and many other competent medical authori-
ties who maintain that our high medical
standard would suffer under Government

Another Admirerr Of Pogo

To the Editor Of The Star:
Another vote for Pogo! He is the most
refreshing and appealing little character
ever to appear in the comic strips. We love
him and his friends. But where did Walt
Kelly ever find his model? The only true
possum characteristic is the tail-no possum

Says Lynch Spirit" Still Prevails
In the South as Routine"
To the Editor Of The Star


In the South as Routine"
To the Editor Of The Star
Your editorial Of January 9, Last Years
Lynchings." seems to object to the classiflca-
ton OF lynching as applied to two of the
three crimes listed by Tuskegee Institute as
lynchings. You see progress in the South
for respect of Negro rights. This hardly can
be denied, but your editorial overlooks some-
thing that cannot be listed by statistics nor
accurately reported by newspapers That
something is the lynch spirit which pervades
the South and takes its toll of individuals
every day.
1t is the lynch spirit which gives courage
to whites in the South to violate the rights
OF Negroes. knowing that this may be done
with impunity. 1t is the lynch spirit which
keeps the Negro in "his place" and many
Negroes are alive in the South today, not
because of the progress that has been made
In the South, but because they stay in their
place" 1t Is the lynch spirit that causes the
violation Of the property rights of Negroes
unfair trials in the courts, and feeling that
anything that is good. even when owned by
the Negro. is too good for him.
The unpleasant incidents that occur in
the South in the field Of race relations and
that are printed in the newspapers are few
compared to many daily incidents which are
equally shocking, but are considered normal
or routine and never are printed. When the
day comes that the South will not have to
be congratulated for extending to Negroes
the same basic, human rights that 1t extends
to other citizens, this will be real progress.

Complains About Governor
School Boards in Montgomery County
he nf


To the Editor of The Star
Although many matters of supposedly
Notwithstanding significance claim most news
paper space currently, a comparatively OBJ
scure item in The Star of Friday the 18th
appears to me to be much more meaningful
to Americans.
I refer to the letter by Robert Parke de-
nouncing the views expressed by Miss
Runnell concerning public education. Since
both OF these persons reside in Montgomery
County. the entirely unsatisfactory educa-
t1onal CD practices approved by Superin-
tendent Broome and the Governor appointed
school board once again are a subject of
controversy. According to the County Curri-
culum Expert for Elementary Grades Mrs.
Grau, the only activity worth mentioning in
elementary school curriculum is the very
narrowly useful and stultifying course in
learning how to make compost pile. This
was the only subject she mentioned at
recent Bethesda P. T. A. meeting.
1t is we'll known among informed residents
of Montgomery County that nothing worth
while can be expected from Superintendent
Broome and political hacks of Governor
Lane acting in the capacity of a school
board. It also is well known that the County
delegates to the State Legislature-along
with delegates from four other counties
tried to provide for elected school boards,
but that this effort failed because of State
Superintendent Pullem.
1t seems that Superintendent Pullem feels
that the individual counties have no right
to determine what kind of education their
children should have. He has been quoted
as saying, in effect, that the almighty State
owns the schools and pays for the teachers
and school buildings, so that the several
counties should be very glad to just take
what the paternalistic State Superintendent
and Governor appointed school boards con-
slider is best for them.
Many people in Montgomery County will
recall that in 1948 subversive teaching prac-
tices were charged against County Super
intendent Broome and the Governor
appointed County Board of Education.
Neither Superintendent Broome nor State
Superintendent Pullem would consent to
public hearing of these charges. Thus, the
inescapable conclusion must be that they are
both afraid Of the truth. But still, Governor
Lane approves their actions.
Although this touches but briefly upon
Montgomery County's current educational
dilemma, trust it is sufficient to clear away
any doubts as to which is more meaningful
to MISUNDERSTANDING Of American
public education or the welfare of those in
faraway places. FRANKLIN T. MILES.
