ST. LOUIS, May 21.-Dr. Paul
B. Magnuson said last night
that too much "chiseling" on
disqualification insurance, backed
by physicians. is overlooking the
Nations hospitals.
In an interview before making
a speech to the st. Louis Medical
Society. DR.. Magnuson said:
There are a lot Of people in
hospitals who shouldn't be there,
who should be treated in their
homes"
The Chicago doctor was chair
man Of the Commission on
Health Of the Nation during the
Truman administration.
He said too often q person
tells his physician he has hos
pitalization insurance so treat
ment may as well be admins
tered in the hospital. The
physician agrees, he said, be-
cause tits easier for him to treat
lot Of people in the hospital
than in their homes.
This not only overcrowds the
hospitals, but it runs up the
costs Of disqualification insur-
ance for other people"
AS a remedy DR.. Magnuson

Grass Roots
Sentiment

The American Press magazine
recently polled a representative
group of country editors on the
subject Of what the current Con-
gress should do. Almost 500 of
these editors responded-and the
general tenor of their opinion, the
magazine reports, is chat Con-
gress should get rid of laws rath
er than make new ones; that gov
eminent should interfere as little
as possible with the freedom of
the people; and that government
should not enter into competition
with private business ~
Specific proposals on which the
editors recommended "No" vote
included new government power
projects, government backed rural
telephone service, federal health
insurance, increased social securi-
ty benefits, and government-spon
sored public housing.
In other words, these grass roots
editors want less government
domination of our lives, not more
and cheaper government instead
Of more expensive gOvernm Mt. It's
a good bet that the majC ,ity Of
the American people feel Exactly
the same way.

Courage And
eelf-DeniaI

Can the budget be balanced
taxpayers Dollar, publication
of the Chamber of Commerce of
the United States, recently analvz-
ed the 1854 budget offered bv the
last Administration in some de-
tail-and showed how a balance
can be attained. Then it made
this wise observation: Balancing
the budget will require courage
on the part of the Administration
and the Congress. And for us, the
citizens, it may require self denial
on some of our pet projects ;.
But the pay-off will be lower
taxes, higher standard Of living,
and a healthier economy for the
long cold war ahead"
What this means is that we
must get rid of the attitude that
government economy is fine for
the other fellow-but that govern
ment should keep right on spend
ING. the peoples tax money on I'M
necessary projects that happen to
be of temporary benefit to US. The
minor financial pains that cutting
the cost of government will entail
must be shared bv adjust as the
enormous, long-lasting benefits
will be shared by all.

last week were urged to come
out strongly for Indignation in
public schools mot only for
morally sound reasons but also
as an economic necessity In these
days of expanding school popula-

enue,"
This warning was voiced by
Walter White. executive secretary
of the NAACP, in an address at
the Federation meeting Further,
Mr.. White told the teachers that
if education in the United States
is to remain free, the teachers
must see that children understand
the full meaning of democracy.
This means, Of course, that there
Is no room in the curriculum or
program for any theory that ra-
cial segregation is compatible with
the Constitution Of the United

Conference of Branches of the
National Association for the Ad-

girl, accompanied by a three-year-
old boy. was walking down the
