He's only four years old, but
there's 70 question as to what oc-
cupation Harry Bybee III is 60
ing to have when he grows up.
He represents the fourth gen.
Grafton of a family of chiroprac-
tors. More than $500 of them,
their families and guests, are in
town until Friday, attending the
National Chiropractic Convention
in the Hotel Statler.
The story of how the Bybee's
became chiropractors started in
1911. Some years before that, DR..
Burt Bybee, of Portsmouth, Ohio.
was hopelessly crippled by rheu-
matism. He spent half of his
youth in a wheelchair or on
crutches, according to one of his
sons, Dr. r. Vincent Bybee, So. of
Richmond.
Because of his condition, the
father became interested in the
method and went to the now de-
funct Michigan College of Chiro-
practic at Grand Rapids. His son

81 Insurance Setup
Termed Inefficient
By House Committee
BY the Associated Press

A Congressional committee pro-
posed today that Congress junk
the present insurance program for
military personnel as 'inequita-
BILE, relatively inefficient and
costly"
Instead the House Committee on
Expenditures in Executive De-
partments suggested cost-free
life indemnity for all in the armed
forces.
The committee adopted unani-
mously a 68-page, often critical,
report drafted by subcommittee
headed by Representative Hardy,
Democrat, of Virginia, on the op-
erations and cost of the Veterans
Administration National Service
Life Insurance program.
The report described NSLI as
more gratuity than insurance"
The insurance part of the pro-
gram protects policyholders only
against normal civilian risk involv-
ing death or total disability, the
report pointed out.
Government Pays Claims.
The Government, not the in
surance fund, pays claims deter
mined by the VA to be result
of the extra hazard of military
service. These payments are
based on the amount of insurance
coverage carried by an individual.
The report said it would be
more just and more in keeping
with the principles of democratic
government to provide for all who
may suffer death or total disabil-
ity equal protection by gratuitous
indemnity" 1t added:
"It is recognized, in addition,
that some protection should also
be given to those who may have
lost insurability, through CONNER
cial companies, for reasons trace
able to their military service. Such
a program would not only be more
democratic by providing uniform
protection, but would indeed be
far less costly than NSLI, both
from a monetary and manpower
standpoint; and would remove the
Government from the civilian in
surance business.
Policies Can't Be Voided.
The report stressed that exist
ing NSLI policies are definite,
irrevocable contracts" that cannot
be invalidated by the Government.
But it added there is no reason
why the Government cannot set
a cutoff date for taking out NSLI
policies and Q deadline for con-
verting outstanding term policies
to permanent form of insur-
ance.
In addition, the report said, pol
tcyholders in the armed services
could be given an option of con-
tinuing their NSL1 or participat-
ing in the indemnity program.
These steps would mitigate the
administrative cost per policy of
NSLI, provide greater equality of
participation, and would effectu-
ate substantial fiscal savings" it
said.
Since passage of the NSLI Act in
1910, it has cost the taxpayers S.
639,606,157, the report went on.
OF the total, death claims due to
extra hazard accounted for 81

TO FIGHT
CRiT TICS

WASHINGTON, Nov. 18 = iR =
Secretary of State Dean Acheson
has decided to fight it out with his
Republican critics, some of whom
want him fired.
This became clear today in the
light of his sharp attack last night
on post-election statements made by
Senator Taft (R-Ohio). 1t was
verified by Acheson's aides.
In last nights speech, Acheson
said, without naming Taft that he
had read that the "isolationist" has
disappeared from the American
scene and that new figure has
appeared, whom he called the re
examinist."
Taft, in post-election statements,
said that anybody is an idiot who
calls anybody else an isolationist."
He also said that only an idiot
would be an isolationist today"
He called for a denomination of
the American program for rearm-
ing western Europe
Acheson spoke before the Ma
tional Council of Negro Women, in
an acidly humorous series of jibes,
which drew frequent chuckles from
his audience.

Objetis Paying
Tax on "phaniom"

Miss Genevieve Mayberry, Juneau
teacher, called the attention of the

in her tex statement through a

Wrote Miss Mayberry, I" the tax
is levied on the entire amount OF
the assessed value of the personal
property. The $3.50 allowable de-
duction has not been made. The
explanation for this, 1 believe, is
the fact that I am entered on the
city books as "Mr. and Mrs. Ii.
Mayberry." Last year my statement
was addressed that way However
the city files seem to have lqul-
dated Mr.. Mayherry' this year. He
doesn't seem to be in existence
any more. 1 would like to eliminate
him too, as he seems to be the
piece of property on which l am
paying a luxury tax of sorts.

very much. am not trying to
evaGe taxes, but I am too much OF
a realist to pay taxes for, or on
phantom"
