u. 5. Chamber Hits
Eisenhower plan on
Health Insurance

The United States Chamber
of Commerce yesterday de-
nounced President Eisenhower's
health reinsurance proposal as a
first step in the direction Of
socialized medicine"
The chambers position ap-
peared to be a tipoff that the
program could run into strong
opposition from private insur-
ance companies and the medical
profession.
Opposes Socialized Medicine.
Gen. Eisenhower has publicly
opposed socialized medicine. He
has asked Congress to enact a
plan under which the Govern
ment would insure private
health insurance firms against
most of their losses.
Secretary Of Welfare Hobby
has said this program would
help the private firms offer
broader health insurance cover
age and bigger benefits.
Edwin j. Faulkner of Lincoln.
Neb., representing the chamber.
told the House Commerce Com
mittee today that sponsors Of
the program would be disap-
pointed by its failure to achieve
it's expressed purposes"
"Would Add Nothing"
Mr.. Faulkner. president Of the
Woodmen Accident Co. and two
associated companies. and a
leader in health insurance trade
associations. insisted the pro-
gram would add nothing to the
present rapidly expanding and
successful system" of private
voluntary health insurance plans.
But enactment of the proposal.
he said, would create in the
minds Of the general public a be-
lief that it offers an adequate
solution to health problems. This

New Legal Moves Planned.
The New York Shipping AS
ISOLATION announced three new
legal efforts would be made to
end the walkout. One would
be an appeal through the At
torney General for a new 80-day
injunction against striking un-
der the Taft-Hartley law The
first such injunction expired on
Christmas eve.
The association also planned
to seek injunctions against mass
picketing in State courts of
New York and New Jersey.
The third move would be
against tugboat strikers. The
shippers announced they would
file an unfair labor practice
charge against the HAS tug
boat division, claiming it was
conducting an illegal sympathy
strike.
Picket Boat Cruises HarbOr.
The tugboats fell in line be-
hind the strikers after an LA
picket boat cruised the harbor
to call the crews off their jobs.
Two tugs, picketed as they
were bringing the Empress of
Scotland to berth. turned the
ship loose. Unable to dock
under her own steam because
of high winds, the ship anchored
in the bay overnight and planned
another try today.
When told of the various in
functions the shippers planned
to seek in an effort to end the
strike, Capt. Bradley had only
one comment: MY men won't
work without a contract"

DR.. Dol added, however. that
Schick professed not to remem-
