Hospital Care
From Security
Funds Pressed
FSA Chief Will Ask
Truman TO Put Plan
In His Program

A 5000 million disqualification
program for all now eligible for
social security benefits will be
recommended to the President by
Federal Security Administrator
Oscar r. Ewing.
Mr.. Ewing said yesterday heqwill
ask President Truman to present
the proposal in his legislative pro-
gram to Congress.
Funds would come from those
currently collected as social secur-
lity payments. Mr.. Ewing said no
general tax money would be re-
lquired.
He added that the program
would cover about 7 million people
by 1953-the earliest that it could
be put into operation.
It would include all persons SIS
or over who are eligible for social
security payments under the pres
lent law. and widows under 65 with
dependent children, or any Others
eligible for present social security
payments.
Can't Envision Opposition
These people. as a whole, need
much more than the average
amount of disqualification" Mr..
Ewing said. "They have much
less than average income with
which to meet the costs of hos
lpitalization and much less than
average opportunity to obtain
private insurance.
Asked about what opposition
might be expected to develop to
the proposal, Mr.. Ewing declared:
Il don't see how anybody could
oppose it. It's not a give-away.
It's merely an increase in bene-
fits from the present funds"
He said he had no way of tell
ling whether the American Medical
Association would consider the
proposal. an opening wedge for
the administrations entire health
insurance program.
Mr.. Ewing said proposed legis-
lation to put the program into ef-
feet is now being drafted.
Truman Advised Preparation.
| He said he had conferred with
President Truman concerning the
plan three months ago and that,
at that time, the President told
him to go ahead and prepare it.
He added, however. the President
has not seen the proposal in final
form.
Furnished under the program
would be services, drugs and ap-
lpliances which hospitals normally
furnish to bed-patients.
Excluded would be any medical
care except that generally furn-
lished as part of general care. II
also would not cover hospitaliza-
ltion in tuberculosis or mental
institution, or in institutions that
Specialize In the care of chronic
leases.
Mr.. Ewing estimated that about
355, 900 younger adults, and IL
million children would be eligible
for disqualification under the plan.
The bulk of those eligible would
be SIS million persons 65 or older.
Administration of the plan
would be decentralized through
the various States, preferably
through State departments of
health, MIR, Ewing declared.
MIR. Ewing said he does not be-
llieve the Government plan would
compete with individually writ
ten commercial insurance.
I'm fact" he saio. very little
individual insurance is written for
persons past age SIS or so. And
practically all of such insurance
policies that do apply to persons
who have reached SIS or more are
lcancelable by the insurance COM
lpany."

Why Grow Old2
Young Girls Conscientious

falacy this letter reflects. Young
men are not so calamity inclined
that they ask you for a date out
of pity. They ask you only be-
cause they like you and think they
will have a good time with you.
So do not hesitate to accept his
invitation because you feel shy.
In order to overcome this shy
ness you must do three things.
One, try to forget how you look
and turn your thoughts outward
toward others. You can learn this
trick. Two, the only way to over
come shyness is not to give in to it.
If you are shy take every oppor-
tunity which comes your way to
be with others, to practice in
association with others. Only
through practice will you become
adept socially. Three, rid your
self of the defects in beauty which
are making you self conscious.
In the case of this young wom-
an, there is too much difference
between the bust and hip meas
urement. She should lose some
weight through sensible diet and
she should take hip and waist
reducing exercises.

A letter from a young reader
brings up one Of the important
psychologists of teen-age young
women.
It says: IT am S feet 2 inches
tall and weigh 125 pounds. My
measurements are-bust "a inches,
waist 27l2 inches and hips SO
inches. I know my measurements
are awful but / have made up my
mind to follow whatever advice
you give me.
This makes me very nervous
and shy when I'm with boys. MY
friends say l am pretty and cute
but I know they say it to be nice.
If a boy asks me to go out with
i him / refuse because I feel that ]
am not attractive enough for him
Won't you please help me? I
would always be grateful to you y
All women are affected by their
appearance, especially young ones
who not do yet feel sure of them
selves and are just beginning to
live in the world of men and

teen-agers as a whole and makes
them unable to be natural or as
carefree as they seem.
