The ANA has termed Mr.. Tru-
mans proposal "socialized medi-
cine" and has campaigned for the
extension of voluntary" insurance
plans-that is. plans which a per-
son can purchase if he wishes. The
ANA. however, has never taken a
stand as to whether it favored Fed
eral subsidy of such plans.
The commission. appointed in
November. 1851, to assess the Ma

collected some 2 million words of
testimony from experts in va

other million words in hearings

Finds Real Need.
One of its main findings was
that despite superior medical
service and low death rates.
Americans are not enjoying as
good health as might be expected
in this country"
One prime reason, the commits
sion said in its report to Mr.. Tru-
man. was that people in low-in-
come groups can't afford adequate
medical care-even on present
payment plans.
The commission, whose forma-
ton was termed by the ANA a
political eXpediency"-and was
more vehemently criticized by in
dividual leaders of the ANA
also called for:

nurses and other health person.

the meantime. unless more doctors
are trained.
2. Construction of more hos
pitals.
3. Increased medical research.
4. Support of industrial health
and OF migratory workers.
Would Cost 81 Billion.
The commission estimated the
Federal Governments share of
such a program would total 81
billion annually, including the
$3.50 million for grants to States
in the voluntary prepayment
plan. This would double Federal
health outlays.
A spokesman for the commits
sion told a reporter that with
the exception of $1O0 million pro-
posed for aid to medical schools.
another $40 million for medical
research and still another $40
million for Federal aid in organiz-
ing medical services on a regional
basis. all other funds would be
on a matching basis with the
States.
That is. the separate States
would be expected to ante up a
sum equalizing the amount placed
IN the kitty by the Federal Gov
|ernment-but with richer States
paying more than poorer ones.
On the prepayment of medical
care, the commission proposed
that direct handling of the plan
would be on a local basis, with
Federal aid money being filtered
down through the States, but with
the Federal Government check
ing up on the qualifications of
proposed plans through a new
governmental Department Of
Health and Security.
This department would carry

The minority group declared
that any such legislation would

not to participate"
The group recommended that
participation of each State be as

than on the voluntary basis

the commissioner that the Fed

the plan in States not participat-

Failing either of these, said the

Commission officials told re-

payment insurance plan would be
aimed primarily at helping people
with annual incomes of under
$4,000.
But it would also provide full

He was Elisha Riggs, who rose from
small Georgetown merchant to one
Of the country's most powerful finan-
cierS.

(now the Riggs National Bank was
organized In 184O, he was silent part

From then until his death, he welded
powerful influence here.
The story of his tragic venture into
maritime affairs has all the elements
of movie thriller
Georgetown was a humming port
town when the 21-year Riggs went
into business in 1900. Perhaps his
liking for ships was kindled then
BY 1922, his business had expanded
n,
more. His father-in-law was a pros
porous shipping operator in Baltimore,
and 1t probably was there that the
financial potentialitieS of ocean COM
merce occurred to him.
In l840, Riggs had shifted to New
York, where Edward K Collins had
been trying for years to interest the
Government in developing the Ameri-
can merchant marine. AS early as
1888, Collins had proposed a steam
powered Navy to President Van Buren,.
Despite rebuffs. Collins persisted.
Powerful British shipping interests held
the United States mail contract but in
l847. he finally obtained contract to
build FIVE paddle-wheel ships and a
1O-year mail contract for $38500O a
year.
Riggs invested heavily in the venture
The first ship launched was the At
lantic. She was followed by the Pacific,
the Arctic and the Baltic. All were of
$500 tons, and with their 1,50O-horse-
power engines, exceeded anything
afloat in size, speed and luxuriousness.
In 1851, the Pacific sped from New
York to Liverpool in the record time of
nine days. 20 hours. On August 18,
1852, the Baltic docked in New York
with new east-west record-nine days.,
18 hours-from Liverpool Both records
clipped a day of the British lines best

Congress was elated. The mail sub
sidy was increased to $858,000 year

and freight business rushed to the
Collins line.

Then disaster struck In 1854, the
Arctic collided with another ship of
Newfoundland and went down with
the loss of nearly all on board. In
cluded were Collins wife, son and
daughter.
The next year, the 4,114-ton Adriatic
was launched, but in 1856, the Pacific
sailed from Liverpool and was never

lployed in construction.
The union set this morning as
a deadline for the Miller Electrical

"It is well known that the war
time potential Of aviation is great"
the President said, "but the power
of aviation for peace is infinitely
greater. and it is the peacetime
progress of aviation which most
typifies the spirit Of this Re-
lpublic."
Gen. Eisenhower's telegram to
Gen. Doolittle read, in part, as
follows:
IT agree with you that this is
a worthwhile project and one
, which can accomplish good for our
country. Our inventive citizens
will continue to develop the air
plane into a powerful tool for
human progress. Today the Sc
curity of the free world demands
that the United States lead the
world in aviation research de-
velopment and general strength.
We shall all have to work
together for success"

In outlining plans for the cele-
bration, Gen. Doolittle reported
that national committee is being

ceptance from prominent persons
in Government, the aviation in
dustry, the entertainment field
and other circles.
He was assured the full support

just completed its third peace
loan" drive. The finance minister
announced that 1,752, ,6s3, 200 forints
(Si45, ,l72, ,706) was subscribed.
There was little difference be-
tween this and the state loans
raised every fall since 1949. But
"the enemy" was attacked in the
press more sharply than ever
before.
The first day Of the drive the
newspaper EST Budapest singled
out one Laszlo csiszar, a turner
in the Beloyannis factory (former
subsidiary Of the International
Telephone and Telegraph Com
pany), who was charged with per-
suading other workers not to sub
scribe.
Before long, the paper said,
Csiszar's desk was heaped with
bible commentaries and various
mystic trash" presumably by
more loyal workers who objected
to his activities).
Similar articles followed every

Meetings we're summoned in the

board was fastened to his back

and he was showed outside the

There was another means of
mild pressure this year. The care
takers Of apartments got orders
to put up a board at the entrance
of the house listing the name of
all adult tenants, together with the
amounts they had subscribed.
Naturally no one liked to see his
name listed with a blank under

The subscription is supposed to
be strictly on a voluntarily basis.
Nevertheless, practically every

ton.
But Symington had to win his
nomination the hard way. He beat
Missouri Atty. Gen. J. E. Taylor
by 1S7, 1000 votes although Taylor
had President Truman's endorse
ment.
Since then, the President has
endorsed Symington. And KEN has
been endorsed by the Republican
presidential nominee, Dwight D.
Eisenhower.
Both men have been successful
in their chosen fields-Kem as a
corporation lawyer in Kansas City,
Symington as former president of
En- erson Electric Company in
St. Louis.
In the Senate, KEN has been a
persistent foe OF administration
measures, both on foreign and
domestic issues. In his campaign
he has opposed foreign aid on the
present scale and says the big
issue is to restore honest, decent
government in Washington.
In Washington Symington was
chairman Of the Surplus Property
Board, assistant secretary Of war
for air, first secretary of the Air
Force, chairman Of the National
Security Resources Board, and
finally Cleanup man of the Re-
construction Finance Corporation.
He says KEN is presenting q
