Roosevelt Wanted
Health Insurance,
Adviser Asserts

Washington LPA) - The at
tempt by President Roosevelt's
former assistant, James F. Byrnes,
to picture FDR ass opposed to ma
tional health insurance has been
blasted by Michael M. Davis of the
Committee for the Nations Health.
Byrnes, in a recent article in
Golfers magazine, which is in
creasingly becoming the mouth
piece of Fair Deal foes, offered as
his only proof a quotation from a
speech made by the former pres
ident opposing socialized medicine.
Davis, in a letter to the Washing
ton Post, pointed out that Pres
ident Truman also had opposed So
cialized medicine, but had offered
national health insurance as an al
tentative. Davis went on:
"Mr. Roosevelt opposed socializ-
ed medicine, and before he passed
away | know that he favored ma
tional health insurance. In Decem-
Der 1914 | was asked by Mr.. Harry
Hopkins to confer with him in
Washington. Mr.. Hopkins and
were friends of long standing, and
he had frequently consulted me
about his many problems of pro-
viding medical care for needy per-
sons during the depression.
"When | met Mr.. Hopkins in his
office in the White House, he told
me that President Roosevelt was
ready to propose a national health
program including national health
insurance and that a presidential
message was to be prepared to this
effect. Mr.. Hopkins asked my help
in preparing this message. | began
Immediately on the draft, working
with another of President Roose-
velt's close advisers.
"Mr. Roosevelt's untimely death
prevented the delivery of his mess
age to Congress, but his position in
favor of national health insurance
and against socialized medicine was
definite"
Thus another attempt by the
anti-Fair Dealers to confuse the
issue Of national health insurance
has been blasted.

COMMISSIONS deletion of seven
housing sites. Brady charged rae

Cobo that "the attitude of the pre-

by the selfishness and greed of
small-minded men who are more
concerned with property values and
bank statements than with human
rights" He was later fired from

NAACP was prepared to take legal
action by March 30 if the commiss-

Meanwhile, George Schermer,

in which 27 Negroes and 8 whites
were killed and hundreds We're in

Realtors Agdin Attempt
To Block Coop Housing

latest volley in the drive to emascu-
late public and coop housing here
by filing a motion to reconsider
the Council vote of March Ia per

Oakman said he acted because
the neighborhood improvement as
sociation opposing the coop is
starting court action and the Com

Hundreds jammed the public
hearing on the issue March 10, anC
the Council acted March Ia. The is.
sue ostensibly was on reZoning the
area from multiple to single dwell
ling status. Actually, rezonine
would have been the death knee
for the 81, 100000 cooperative pro
ject, federally financed and cooper
atively owned. The real objection
was the fact that in this COOP
there is no racial. color, or religious
restriction, and Negroes could par,
ticipate with whites. Opposition tC
the coop developed only after
Negroes moved lin.
Frank X. Martel, president OF
the Detroit and Wayne County

At hearings on the project, Vic

director, and George Romney

of the Automobile Manufacturers

up race prejudice.
Four of the 81 families in the

Don't Adopt Plan
OF TotaIitarians,
AFL Agent Warns

Washington OPA)-This nation
is big enough to lick totalitarian
methods without adopting them
George Riley of the AFL's Legis-
lative Committee told the House
Unamerican Activities committee
March "a. "We'll come through this
much stronger if we don't adopt
methods that smack of them," ne
added.
The current version of the
Mundt- Nixon anti-Communist bill,
already approved by the Senate
Judiciary committee, is still not
acceptable by the AFL's standards,
Riley said. He cited the Fedora
tion's long record Of anti-Commun-
ist activities, eliminating in the
formation of the lnt'l Confedera-
tion of Free Trade Unions, world
nti-Communist front. "As com
pletely convinced as we are that
the communists must be dealt with
forth-rightly," Riley warned, anti
communist tactics should not be of
nature that will also "do violence
to innocent persons and organiza-
tions." The most effective defense,
against communism and fascism,
he maintained, and Rep. John Nc
Sweeney Cd, Ohio) upheld the
view, "les with voluntary organ
ization.'
The definition Of Organization"
in the Mundt-Nixon bills would
include, clearly, all labor organiza-
tions," Riley maintained. "May we
hope that the bill can be further
constructed to relieve it of am
biguities which would allow some
future Attorney General who might
have the same type of thinking as
did A. Mitchell Palmer, for ex-
ample, to pounce upon labor unions
for good clean fun and laughs and
% read into the law all sorts of
nterferences personal whim might
suggest"
The danger of guilt by associa-
tion Cf organizations with parallel
views OH such matters as poll
taxes, or government regulation of
utilities would be very great under
the law, and "A reactionary "Subver-
sive Activities Control Board
might "find that because Commun-
lists sponsor some of the same
things as some labor unions that
the unions themselves are guilty
of supporting communism" Riley
observed.
Some members of Congress who
at one time espoused ideas parallel
to these might also be considered
subversive under this law, Riley
observed dryly, and such organiza-
tions as the American Civil Liber-
Ties Union and Americans for
Democratic Action, though declar-
ed by their platforms to be anti
Communist, might also be prescrib-
ed.
Riley told Rep. Harold Velde OR,
lll), one of the most rabid of the
committee members, that anti
Communist legislation should be
treated "like a new car-you've
got to drive slowly so as not to
strip the gears"
The previous day, the AFL
spokesman had appeared before the
House Civil Service committee in
opposition to provisions of bill
which would allow six federal agen-
cies dealing with military and for
eign affairs to summarily dismiss
bad security risk" employees with
out any recourse to an impartial
board of judges. Opposition to the
also came from the Veter-
ans of Foreign Wars and the. Dis
abled American Veterans. Defense
Secretary Louis Johnson had asked
for the bill.
