and "sea police"
This was the first public dis
play Of the long-rumored "air
police" forerunner of a new Com

been some estimates that the
force already has 5000 men, un-
til now confined to ground air base
duties.
Four Hour Parade.
Many thousands of factory
hands. blue-shirted Communist
youth and other pro-Soviet dele
cations were marshalled for the
big display of Soviet fealty.

Shvernik came to represent the
Kremlin for the East German Re-
1public's third anniversary, despite

A sharp sidetiff developed today
as President Truman's controver-
sial Health Commission met tc
consider the question of how best
to pay the American doctor bill
The dispute resulted from is
suance by the American Medical
Association of a press release
quoting an ANA economist, Frank
"a. Dickinson, as saying a "Fact
Book" on medical care costs pre-
pared by the commission presents
"only half the story of medical
economics" and "gives nothing on
what we (the American people,
get for what we spend"
Mr.. Dickinson addressed a meet
ing sponsored by the commission
itself.
Calls Book q Compilation.
A spokesman for the commits
sion. who said he had seen the
ANA release of Mr.. Dickinson's S
remarks. told a reporter the COM
mission protests the making of
a charge-in an advance press re-
lease, without opportunity for re-
futation-against a Fact Book
which was actually designed only
as a rough statistical compilation
of facts on what is spent for medi-
cal care"
"The quality of medical care is
quite another matter" he added.
THAT is. what We get for what we
spend is a matter of judgment"
He said furthermore that the
Fact Book"-prepared by the
commission ION the basis of sta
tistics gathered from various
sources"-was designed for the in
formation of individuals scheduled
to attend today'S commission

As Health Commission Meets

hearing on the subject Methods
of Financing Health Programs. u
The commission was scheduled
to hear testimony from adherents
of the two opposing plans fo1
prepayment of medical costs
National Government insurance
and voluntary private insurance
The commission spokesman said
the book had not been issued
publicly and that when distributed
to hearing participants it carried
Ia precaution against quoting from
lit in advance of today's meeting.
He granted, however. that it was
intended as one basis of discussion
at the meeting.
The spokesman offered these
comments after being asked about
the Fact book" referred to by MIR.
Dickinson. The spokesman said it
gave a breakdown of various ex-
penditures for medical care for
195l-and listed total medical care
expenditures for that year at
$13, 3,565, ,000,0
Says 1t Tells Only Half.
Mr.. Dickinson, in his address
prepared for delivery and released
when the meeting would be under
Way-Said:
This Fact Book deals almost ex-
clusiyely with the cost of medical
care, with extreme emphasis on
governmental costs. The Fact
Book, however. gives nothing on
what We get for what we spend.
I think it unfortunate to present
only half of the story of medical
economics. In general, economics
consider cost and value as two
aspects of the central theme"
Mr.. Dickinson also asserted that
the American people in 1851 were
receiving relatively more medical
care for their money than they
were in the 1935-1939 period"

General Hurt Chances
By Letting Liberals
Down, Sparkman Says
BY the Assoeioisd Press

CHARLESTON, w. Va, Oct. 7
Senator Sparkman. Democratic
vice presidential candidate, say.
Gen. Eisenhower has hurt hi.
chances for victory by letting the
liberal Republicans down."
Senator Sparkman went on to
say in a press conference here
yesterday that the Republican
nominee for President had al
lowed Senator Taft to take over
as "generalissimo Of his cam
paign."
The Alabama Senator COM
pletes a two-day swing through
Southern West Virginia today
with five speeches. A noon ad-
dress was scheduled at the Beck
ley Courthouse, followed by after
noon talks at Mullens, Pineville
and Logan before Senator Spark
man delivers a major address at
the Huntington City Auditorium
tonight.
Toying With Red Issue Charged.
In a speech last night at Fay
etteville, Senator Sparkman ac-
cused some Republicans of toying
with "the deadly important busi-
ness Of roofing out the real Com
munistS in our midst"
He told a rally of some 1900
persons that those are the IRE
publicanS who link their oppo-
nents with communism.
Senator Sparkman also took a
crack at the show of unity last
week between Gen. Eisenhower
and Senator Mccarthy of Wis
conSin. During a stumping tour
OF Wisconsin the general threw
his support behind Senator Nc
Carthy for reelection, despite
differences he said existed be-
tween them. Senator Sparkman
declared in his speech:
"The general was willing to
overlook what Senator Mccarthy
said about Gen. George C. Mar
shall, who was his friend and
benefactor.
Mccarthy Accused Marshall.
In the Senate last year, Nc
Carthy said that Gen. Marshall
was involved in a conspiracy So
immense, and infamy so black as
to dwarf any previous venture in
the history of man.
Maybe Gen. Eisenhower could
reconcile himself to this ugly
smear Of his old friend. But
could he overlook what Senator
Mccarthy said about him at that
same time on the Senate floor?
In all those attitudes Senator
Mccarthy said then, Eisenhower
was Marshall's firm supporter
What will Mccarthy say now?"
Senator Sparkman asked. us
Eisenhower still a traitor in his
estimation?"
Senator Mccarthy has accused
Gen. Marshall. former Army Chief
of Staff and Secretary of State,
OF taking part in a Communist
conspiracy against the country.
Gen. Eisenhower. on the other
hand. has declared that Gen. Mar
shall, his wartime. boss, is a true
patriot. e '.s--
