According to Murray, the doctors

1.-They could pay a year;

lies in the $1,000 a year bracket.
2.-They could pay four years
tuition for 5000 medical student:
who could care for 100000 per
sons when they became doctors.
3.-They could pay for an 1906
percent increase in much needed
dental research.
4.-They could pay for the train.

Or, if the doctors just used the

ing, they could do any one of the
following, Murray points out:
They could pay for a 1C0-bed
mental or tuberculosis hospital.
2.-They could construct IL COM
pletely-equipped health centers.
3.-They could provide two-year
fellowships for 1000 scientists.
Meanwhile, the National Assem-
bly, for the Advancement Of Public
Relations predicted that the ANA
campaign would "backfire". After
an advance peek at some of the
ads, Assembly members denounced
their "obvious smear nature" and
said the ANA had been "sold bill
of spurious goods"
Addressing their remarks to the
ANA itself, spokesmen for the
public relations group said: "You
know full well, of course, that the
program Of national health insur-
ance is not socialized medicine at
all by any stretch of the imagina-
ton 1t is utterly ridiculous
for you to think you can fool the
American people about national
health insurance"

size are a few Of the 20 tie-in aC
suggestions now in the hands of al
bonafide newspapers. The sale OF
those ads to local firms and organ
izations can mean real advertising
volume.
"The presidents Of 25,000 Ameri-
can businesses and industries have
received full information about this
campaign. Many have expressed
great interest in the tie-in poten-
tials, and have issued instructions
to representatives to contact their
newspapers for assistance in local
participation"
"The cause is good-the time is
right-the opportunities are bound
less-for benefit to you, to your
community and to your country"
Observers noted that "your coun-
try comes last.
The "tie-ins" are about what
everybody expected as is the
AMA's own first full-page 20 inch
ad. The tie-ins would have local
dairies, restaurants, banks, grocer
les, factories and stores denounc-
ing the Presidents plan for health
insurance as a killing blow to free
enterprise if not a step toward
Communism. The National Assem-
bly, for the Advancement Of Public
Relations took a look at the ads
and said they were loaded to the
brim with the sheerest nonsense"
Actually, the Presidents plan is
not socialism nor is it a blow to
free enterprise. 1t is an insurance
program which would work in sub
stantially the same way as social
security. The plan has been en-
dorsed by the AFL, CIO, unaffil-
lated unions and liberal groups
not to mention the Democratic
party.

and Oct. 22. The American Medica
Association is going to put on 9
campaign. Don't let it throw you
It's strictly bunk.
Specifically, the ANA, heaviest
spender among lobby groups ir
Washington, is out to forestal
President Truman's plan for ma
tional health insurance. Truman's
plan, which is not socialized medi.
cine, is endorsed by the AFL, the
CIO, unaffiIiated labor and other
liberal interests.
The ANA is going to spend ST.
100000 those two weeks. But when
the tie-ins with private insurance
companies in the health and accid-
ent field, drug manufacturers and
local industries are toted up the
bill will come to something like
S20,000,000, according to the Com
mittee for the Nations Health.
That's what the organized doctors
and Big Business are wiling to pay
to keep your medical bills high or
to keep you from having proper
medical care.
The ANA will run 7-inch adver-
tisements in IL 200 daily and week
ly newspapers, plus ads in humid
reds Of trade papers. In addition to
printed ads, the ANA and its
friends will make generous use of
at least 1000 radio stations which
will blare ANA propaganda. The
ads will hit at the welfare state,
which one way or another will be
associated with socialism if not
actually with communism.
The doctors even have name
for the campaign-"Message of
Freedom" However, Sen. James f.
Murray Cd, Mont.), a staunch lib
eral, calls it "a tragic waste" Says
Murray:
"The money these people are
spending to confuse and mislead
the public about the health pro-
gram is a tragic waste when you
consider what it would buy in the
way of better health for more citiz-
ems.

rights, opportunities and privileges

ton.
Long ago labor showed an
eageness to shoulder its respon-
sibilities which matched its eager
ness to obtain a fuller life for
American workers. We all know
that in World War III, labor always
could be counted upon for the extra
effort demanded by some unusual
emergency.
81 am sure no one doubts that
American labor, when fully ap-
praised of the needs of national
defense will, as it always has in
the past, make its full contribution
to national security"

Where management and labor
work together, we have labor peace
and maximum production"
What gives these words real sig
nificance and meaning is the splen-
did record of labor-management
harmony which Mr.. Minton's union
has built up since it's inception in
1916. Since the beginning of col
lective bargaining in that industry
in 1886, not a single national strike
has marred the employer-employe
relationship. 1t would be fine to
see other unions, particularly in
the basic industries, whose leader
ship prattle daily of their devotion
and contributions to industrial
peace, match that one.

|AFL Reflects
Green And All
|Ofher Officers

Houston, Tex. LPA)-President
William Green, who has piloted the
AFL since the death of Samuel
Gompers, was reelected by accla-
nation at the Federation's conven-
tion here on Sept. 81.
Only Gompers served longer
than Green in the top office. Ex-
cept for one year, the A. F. of l..
in the 20 years since its founding
has had only two presidents, Comp
ers and Green.
Others reelected were Secre-
tary-Treasurer George Meany and
the following vice presidents: Will
lam l.. Hutcheson, Carpenters;
Matthew Woll, Photo Engravers;
Joseph N. We b er, Musicians;
George M. Harrison, Railway
Clerks; Daniel ]. Tobin, Teamsters;
W. c. Birthright, BARRIERS; w. C.

Dubinsky, Ladies' Garment Work
ers; Charles j. MacGowan, Boiler
makers; Herman Winter, Bakery

ridge, Building Service Employees.
Each is president of his own
union, except for Woll, who is a
vice president Of the Photo En-
gravers, Weber, who is president
emeritus Of the Musicians, and
Winter who is president emeritus
Of the Bakers.
Put selective price controls on
key commodities now, delegates
urged in a unanimous resolution
adopted Sept. %.
However, delegates warned in
the same resolution, stabilization
of wages should be held off at
least until paychecks are brought
level with recent price increases.
President Truman doesn't have
to freeze wages in every industry
in which he controls prices, AFL
economists insisted. The Defense
Production Act calls for wage
freezes in such industries, they
said, but there is a clause permit
ing him to refrain from, freezing
wages when he can better effect
uate the purposes" of the act by
so doing.
The resolution described the
control section of the
production act as confusing" and
said that the requirement that
wages be stabilized when ever lids
are clamped on an industry's prices
was cumbersome and inequitable."
1t was clear enough that the
AL will endorse some system of
wage control if it becomes necess-
ary, provided wages and prices are
first brought to parity. However,
the convention resolution "emphat-
lcaHy" rejected any system tying
wages to cost-of-living figures.
