INDONESIA:
Uneasy Freedom

The United States of Indonesia
was an established fact. It had be-
come formally free after 300 years
of Dutch rule.
But the birth of freedom was no
routine, casual affair. Just like the
case with most republics, the
birthday was grim and turbulent.
Even as freedom was declared,
the new nation deployed troops
and maintained state of siege in
wide areas to prevent anticipated
disturbances.
1T WAS EXPECTED that Com
munists and some die-hards would
attempt to make trouble for the
new republic and to embarrass it
by creating disorders.
Hundreds of troops patrolled the
streets of Batavia and machine
gun posts were set up at intersec-
tons. Dutch troops throughout the
country were confined to barracks
for two days to prevent clashes.
A UNITED NATIONS commits
sion set a truce in the islands
which ended the bloody fighting
between the Indonesians an d
Dutch, and also supported a Dutch
1ndonesian formidable conference
at the Hague last fall which led to
the granting of Indonesian indie
pendence.

EINSTEIN:
One Great Law?

Most schoolboys would react
with surprise if told that gravity
is still one of the most puzzling of
natural forces. They would de-
clare that Sir Isaac Newton had
settled all that when, after watch
ing the falling apple, he stated a
theory that may be over-simpli-
fled by explaining it as a fact that
"everything that goes up must
come down."
However, Albert Einstein, friz-
zle-haired, unpretentious scientist,
ranked as among the greatest in
the world, and key figure in the
development of atomic power,
wasn't content to leave it at that.
EINSTEIN, after a lifetime of
work, had made a great discovery
"a discovery he believes will ex-
plain the mystery of gravitation.
One of the greatest of the scien-
: tific enigmas, gravitation keeps
humans from floating off the
earth, keeps the earth and other
planets spinning always in the
same path around the sun.
According to the new Einstein
theory, which was announced by
the Princeton university press, all
the basic physical laws would be ex-
planned in terms of gravitation. 1t
is an attempt to describe in one
law everything that goes on every
where-from the inside of one
atom to the limits of the universe.
Einstein has been trying to do that
for 80 years.
If Einstein is right, he may hold
the key that will unlock all the
secrets of the universe.
LIKE RELATIVELY, the new
theory is expressed in mathemat-
les. The heart of the explanation of
gravity is four equations, given
in letters or symbols, not numerals.
There was no explanation of
what the symbols mean, but no
physicists were ready yet to try
to talk publicly about the new
theory. 1t still had to be tested to
see whether it covers all the known
laws OF observations about the way
matter and energy and gravitation
behave.

STALIN:
Big Birthday

The Soviet-dominated world went
into frenzy as each nation and
satellite strove to Guido the others
in paying tribute to Russia's
Joseph Stain on his 10th birth
anniversary.
THE RUSSIANS were in their
usually rare form, using the oc-
casion to hurl a thunderous de-
mand for peace at the world. In
order to achieve it, they would set
up, they said, annual awards for
those doing the most to preserve
peace and to confound the "war
mongerers." That category in
Guided, of course, all nations and
governments out of sympathy with
the Soviet aim of expansion.
Almost fantastic was the extent
to which the Stalin-worshippers
went in adulation of Stain. Thou
sands of parcels and crates, train
loads of merchandise, whole ex-
position halls of trinkets and pic
lures, factories and socks, books,
and horses, wines and toys, delica-
cies and cars were funneled toward
Moscow from the Elbe to China,
from the Arctic to the Black sea.
NO ONE MAN could ever use
all the gifts, or read all the hon.
ors. No one man could ever dis
tribute them. What it was all
worth was anyone's guess, but GER
tainly millions of dollars.
Eastern Germany alone COL
lected 70 freight cars of gifts
one for each year-as sort of
whimsical PREPARATIONS.
The western world paid little
heed to the Soviet chest-beating
over desire for peace and, so far
as the press recorded, England was
the only nation among the North
Atlantic pact signatories to send
congratulations to Stain on his
birthday.
But for the Russians, them
selves, to most of whom Stain is
more legendary than real, the
thrilling, dramatic high spot of the
anniversary celebration came in
Moscow VIII e n Stain, himself,
walked out on a stage to let the
people see him.

HEALTH BILL:
Changes Planned

There was little likelihood that it
would amount to anything in the
long run-since the bill seems fore
doomed to failure-but Oscar
Ewing, federal security admins
traitor, let it be known he will rec
ommend some changes in the ad-
ministration's medical insurance
bill now before congress. =.
EWING'S conviction that the
measure as drawn could stand
some revision came after he OBJ
tanned a personal insight into the
socialized health program as prac-
ticed in England and other Euro
pean countries.
Ewing said his recommended
tons were not completely formu-
lated, but indicated there would
be a provision in the bill to re-
duce the opportunity for collision
between patients and doctors to
augment medical fees.
The approach under eonsidera-
ton by the US. survey group is to
require the patient to pay a part
of the cost of the medical service
not to doctor, but to an insur-
ance fund.
AS THE us. BILL is now
drafted, doctors would be compen-
stated in any or all of three ways
"a per capita payment irrespec-
tive of service, straight salary,
or fee basis.
However, it might very well be
much ado about nothing, as it
seemed apparent neither the peo-
pie of the US, the medical profess
sion, or a sufficient number of con-
gressmen are in the mood for in
staHation of socialized medicine
in the United States.

REp0RzERAAI
IN WASHINGTON SG~A
ANA Technique Risky
IN WASHINGTON


4 CCORDING to the best opinion
"a in Washington there is little
likelihood of the enactment of a
compulsory health insurance pro-
gram based on payroll tax at
this session of the 81st congress.
1t could be that some part of the
administration health program may
see action such as increased aid
for hospital construction, or ap-
preparations for scholarships for
the training of doctors, dentists,
etc.
A bill containing these provisions
passed the senate in the first ses-
sion. But insofar as can be deter
mined, the American people are
not aroused over any form of health
insurance. And all polls indicate
that those who have expressed any
opinion do not favor the compul'
sorry insurance plan such as is
proposed by the President and the
federal security administration.
This being true, these same ex-
perts see in the frenzied efforts
of the American Medical associa-
ton to conduct a nationwide grass
roots campaign, a form of shadow
boxing which may have just the
ANA.
The reasoning behind this
conclusion is that since the peo-
pie are more or less apathetic,
any such campaign as pro-
posed by ANA is most likely to
arouse interest with a possible
boomerang insofar as ANA is
concerned.
At their recent Washington con-
vention, ANA levied a $25 assess
ment on their membership, under
pain of expulsion if not paid, to
raise three million dollars more to
defeat a program which Washing
ton observers say has not much
more chance of enactment in this
session of congress.
The people will ask "Why all
the shooting" and will certainly
look into the payroll tax plan as
compared to the voluntary health
insurance plan as now fostered by
the medical association.

0dious Comparison

And there is chance that this
comparison by the people may be
an odious one insofar as ANA is
concerned. For only one has to
examine the record, the observers
say, to learn that ANA is only a
recent convert to even the volun-
tary plan such as Blue Cross or
Blue Shield or any other of the
voluntary private medical insur-
ance plans.
For, back in 1882, President
Hoover named a committee headed
by DR.. Ray Lyman Wilbur, presi-
dent of Stanford university, and a
former ANA president to study
costs of medical care. This COM
mittee recommended voluntary
medical insurance. And the Amer
lean Medical Journal, official Or
gan of ANA, turned the voluntary
plan down and designated it as
"socialistic" and as "communis-
tic"
Now however, ANA is calling the
administration national medical
insurance plan "socialistic' and
"communistic" and has given at
least grudging approval to the pri-
vate voluntary plan.

by yourself, large glass is in
dicated. To this you could we'll
add the juice of a lemon and
little grated lemon peel.
Strawberries and raspberries
are splendid sources but these are
seasonal and usually expensive.
The banana and potato are good
sources. However, fried potatoes

toes before cooking them they
lose much of it.
WatercreSs is splendid but this
is not constantly available to most

half the vitamin c which an
equal amount of orange juice pro-
vides. The rind of citrus fruits is
much higher in vitamin c content
than the juice. Freshly cut grass
is a tremendous source of Jitamin

There are grass cereals which are
good.
Cabbage is a rich source but

Modern MARRIAGE
Husband BoffIed as Wife Treats
Him Like Intruder in Own Home
By DR.. PouI Popenoe

wife has changed in this way
since marriage. At this distance
it would be ridiculous for me to
try to decide. Her reasons are
probably both complex and un-
conscious. One thing is pretty
certain-that the difficulty goes
back far before the wedding. She
was brought up that way by her
mother. Maybe she didn't want
a child, and is bitterly resentful
over the fact that she has one.
Whatever the deep-lying reasons,
they are fostering in the recesses
of her mind and will continue to
poison her life and yours until
she gets rid of them.
1t is also pretty certain that she
can't free herself of this difficulty
by herself, and that you can't do
it for her. 1t can only be done by
a competent marriage counselor,
and he would have to have CO.
operation from her. which she may
be very unwilling to give.
I can put you in touch with
such counselor. Can you put
her in touch with him? I don't
think she'll go if you ask her to,
but you might be able to get some
of her family, or a trusted friend,
or her clergyman-if she has one
to influence her. Make a des-
