For Shame, Doc.
Calling A Lady
"A Fubricufor

Washington (LPA) - Getting
mighty careless about singing
fighting words around, the doctors
are. Or are they jittery about the
reaction to their million-dollar, big
wind campaign against health In,
surance?
Federal Security Administrator
Oscar Ewing, in a speech in New
York, pointed out that the medical
schools discriminate against jew
ish students. That's false charge
shrieked DR.. George F. Lull, speak
ing for the American Medical Asso-
citation. (Look up the records, doc.
Mrs. India Edwards, vice-chair-
man of the Democratic National
Committee, issued a statement
pointing out that the $2O,OOO,OOO
the ANA and it's friends are spend
ing in an advertising campaign is
actually a smoke screen to defeat
the Democrats.
Forgetting the manners of a
gentleman, DR.. Austin Smith, edit
or of the ANA journal, shrieked
zone of the most vicious lies in a
series of vicious lies presented by
self-seeking individuals.
Mrs. Edwards, always a lady, did
not retort, "you're another. In
stead she issued another statement
saying ''The ANA is engaging in
a calling campaign at time
when it should be concerning itself
with the shortage of physicians. "
She pointed out that since four out
of five people in the United States
cannot afford the medical aid they
need, the proposed bill the ANA
is attacking as "socialized medi-
cine" provides for health insurance
on a payroll deduction plan.
The ANA boasts that it spent a
huge wad to help defeat Sen.
Frank Graham in the North Caro-
lima primaries. Graham was oppos-
ed to compulsory health insurance.
But Graham is a liberal, so the
ANA fought him. The ANA tried
to lick Sen. Wayne Morse, in Ore
gon, although he too opposed ma
tional health insurance. He, too, is

boom. Real Estate loans also hit a
new high Of S5,047,000.
The Board may soon take the
anti-inflationary move of raising
the reserve requirements for the
member banks, thus freezing huge
sums of money so it can't be loan
ed.
Still another initiation thermo-
meter, the Federal Reserve Boards
report on volume Of bank deposits
and currency in the hands of the
people, showed that at the end of
August there was more dough
around than ever before. The Aug.
30 figure was STILL billion, $780,
100000 more than on July 26. This
rise was entirely in bank credit.
Savings went down.
Consumer credit rose $614,000,-
900 in August, only slightly less
than it gained during the wave of
scare buying in July. Installment
buying regulations issued by the
government in September may cut
down on these purchases-the kind
you make on car, washer, or TV
set.
The next curb expected is hous-
ing credit controls. Down payments
on new homes will probably be
raised, including homes bought
under Federal Housing Admins
tration and Veterans Administra-
ton loans. Even if you're a veter-
an, you won't be able to buy
house unless you have a pile of
cash saved up.

SteeIWorkers To
Ask Pay Boost
Across The Board

Atlantic City, N. j. (LPA)-The
Steelworkers will ask for an across
the-board wage boost for 100000
steelworkers. The unions 175-man
wage policy committee, meeting
here, did not set any figure, but
union leaders insist that "healthy
and substantial" raises can be
granted without hiking steel prices.
They plan to present detailed evid-
ence to support their position.
Union spokesmen told reporters
the union is not interested in a
cost of-living escalator like those
in auto industry contracts.
Other demands will include elm
ination of geographical wage diff
ferentials, severance pay, better
overtime, union shop, and better
rates in iron ore and other mining
operations where the union has
contracts.
All major producers except US
Steel and Bethlehem, the two big
gest, have agreed to talks with the
union. Union contracts do not call
for negotiations to open until Nov.
l, but the pressure of rising prices,
and raises in other industries, led
the steelworkers to ask for an earl
ier reopening date. They are not
free to strike under the contract
until January /.
Iron Age, official trade journal
of the industry, predicted that the
union would be certain to get some
raise, but also predicted a rise in
steel prices.

By this we mean better service in
quantity as well as in quality,
which is fine. But the one is just
as important as the other. We are
concerned with doctors problems
(although we cannot see those in
the same light as does the AMA)
as well as the patients problems.
But we have to say that we are
more concerned with the latter.
1--WE are concerned more with
the increasing cost of medical
treatment, at home or in offices; of
hospital beds and surgical fees.
This cost amounts too frequently
to a ruinous burden. We see
the problem as a financial and So
cial one, not a scientific one. !.
We ask DR.. Henderson and his as
sociates who applauded him to be-
lieve that we are just as much op-t
posed to socialized medicine as
they are. Our difference is that we
do not think public health insur-
ance is socialized medicine. We see
it as a means of helping everybody
pay his doctor bills and of making
the doctor sure he can collect his
bills for services rendered"

a liberal. The ANA fought the So
cial security expansion bill, which
had nothing to do with health in
surance. But it made a deal with
the insurance companies. I h e
medics fought the social security
bill, which the insurance boys didn't
want, and in return, the insurance
companies are helping fight the
health insurance plan.
The ANA has been distributing
for year copies of John T. Flynn's
hysterical book "The Road Ahead.
That's the big ticket for the Com
mittee for Constitutional Govern
ment, run by DR.. Edward A. Rune

agent in World War |, and who
has been cited for contempt of
Congress for refusing to name the
financial hackers of his outfit. The
Cog is considered the key in a net
work of anti-labor, anti-Fair Deal
lobbies.
Glen Whitaker, the 100000 a
year publicity agent for the ANA,
told a medical society in Kansas
City the other day that congress

compulsory health insurance, and
cited that as an accomplishment

Fear of Initiation
Root of Summer
Buying Wave

Washington HPA)-Americans,
afraid their savings will count for
little in the face Of shortages and
initiation, are rushing to buy goods
with whatever cash they have on
hand.
Others are buying on the INSTALL
ment plan or borrowing from banks
to get houses, cars, refrigerators.
furniture-almost anything in pre-
ference to money. No one expects
greenbacks to get 50 cheap they
can paper the wall with them. AL
most everyone, though, expects
them to be worthless six months or
year from now than they are to-
day.
Financial reports for the sum-
mer months show that bank trans
actions have increased. Bank loans
have spurted up to break all re-
cords. More people cashed in saw
ings bonds than bought them.
Some pieces Of the monetary jig
saw puzzle are missing, but those
there are fit the total picture. And
the picture spells higher prices to
come for you.
A report from the Security &
Exchange Commission for April,
May and June, even before the ter
rifle impact of the Korean war was
felt, showed that individuals saved
5000, 100000 less than in the spring
Of 1919. The money was used to
buy things, particularly houses.
Money spent for home construction
was more than 81 billion over that
spent in the corresponding 1949
period.
After the fighting started in
Korea, the trend intensified. Fig
ures from the Treasury Depart
ment show that in June people
cashed in 6,524, 900 more Series
Z Savings bonds than they bought.
In July they redeemed $50, 100000
more than were purchased. In Aug
ust the margin was $123,858, 900.
By September it was down little
to S104, 100000.
This is the first time since the
beginning Of World War II that
the Treasury was giving out more
than it was taking in in bond bust
ness. And these figures are only
for bonds that haven't reached the
end of the ten year payoff period.

Defense Program
Shows Signs
Of Taking Shape

w a hington (LPA)-Three
weeks after President Truman
signed and invoked the Defense
Production Act, the defense pro-
gram was still mostly talk. How
ever, over the weekend of Oct. l,
a few pieces of the program began
to take shape of a sort.
Secretary of Labor Tobin ann
ounced formation of an Office of
Defense Manpower. The National
Production Authority, defense pro-
duction arm of the Department of
Commerce and main production
agency, released an order setting
up a priority system for defense
orders. In addition, President Tru-
man was reported ready to name
Cyrus S. Ching chief of a wage
stabilization board. Ut was report
ed that David l.. Cole, who headed
the Presidents coal emergency
board last winter, would succeed
the six-foot seven-inch Ching as
head of the Federal Mediation &
Cancellation Service.)
Tobin said the Office of Defense
Manpower would develop plans,
policies and programs for meeting
defense manpower requirements"
The Secretary issued orders sett-
ing up an inter-departmental COM
mittee, a management-labor COM
mittee and women's committee to
advise him. He issued further
orders allocating specific functions
to the Bureau of Employment Sc
curity and other department bur-
eaus. But that's about as far as
Tobin went. Yet to be named was
an executive director for the Man
power Office.
The National Production Auth
ority's priority order was viewed
as a prelude to a tough controls
system if anybody really expects
priorities and ALLEGATIONS to work
when shortages appear. Specifical-
ly, the NPA said defense and
atomic energy orders were to have
absolute priority except under
special circumstances. But four
special circumstances" seemed to
give manufacturers plenty of lee
way to reject orders when they feel
like it.
In general, the NPA's order was
a highly technical compilation of
priority rules. A defense order will
have a "DO Rating"-and, for the
present, all orders will be rated
alike subject to special directives.

Present Defenses
 In Northwest Are Adequate Today"

SEATTLE, (P)-Pacific North west defenses are adequate today, but the picture could change over night "on anything the potential enemy does."
 That was the observation last week of Maj. Gen. William R. Schmidt. director of the Contin- ental United States Defense Plan ming Group.
 Schmidt, here to speak before the chamber of commerce said in an interview:
 "In this business of defending the northwest or any other part of the country, you've just got to take the whole continent of North America and see where it sets on the globe. Of course, Alaska and Canada are pertinent to this de- fense."
 He said there are two logical air approaches to the North American continent - one from the north west and the other from the north east. So, he declared, the north west definitely is in present de- fense p1ans."
 He said he favored both Alaska Statehood and retention of Boeing Airplane production in Seattle. "I presume if Alaska was made a state it would develop a na- tional guard" Schmidt said. "As far as ground forces are concern ed, this would help materially"

Fairbanks Power
 Shortage Reaches Emergency Status

FAIRBANKS, (F) - This city's power shortage, already describ- ed as critical, reached emergency status Monday with the break down of a 3O0-kilowatt generator at the Alaska Railroad plant.
 The generator had been loaned to the city for auxiliary power purposes when member of Local 1850, International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers close the Fair banks Exploration departme n t pOwerhouse of the U. s. s. R. & M. company in support of demands for a union shop contract clause.
 The union has been on strike for more than a week but closed the powerhouse Sunday.
 Lou Joy, superintendent of the Northern Commercial Company, said the loss of the generator made it mandatory that lights, heating units, water pumps and appli- ances be used only when absolute ly necessary.
 Service to some portions of the city may have to be cut off en- tirely, Joy said.
 It is the first time in 10 years the powerhouse, supplying two- thirds of the city's electrical pow CT, has been shut down. The pre- vious shutdown was brought about by the strike of Local 444, CIO mine workers, to force company recognition of the union. That strike lasted 30 days but did not affect the city's power facilities as the Northern Commercial Com pany was then supplying all the power needed.
 Meanwhile, the strike of ap- proXimately TO members of Local 1853, IBEW went into it's second week. The men walked out last Monday demanding a 1215 cent hourly wage boost in their new agreement with the National Elec- trical Contractors ASsociati n |. Two association members have agreed to the union demand. Those two companies were the only ones proceeding with work at either the Ladd or EielSon Air Force Base projects.
