Stock Market Study
Delayed as Experts
Explain Big Boom
BY the Associoisd Press

So many experts have offered
opinions on the stock market
boom that a friendly study" by
the Senate Banking Committee
has been delayed until the first
week in March.
Chairman Fulbright. Democrat,
of Arkansas. who says he wants
to avoid any repeat OF the 1929

more than 500 answers had been
received to a QUESTIONABLE. The
questions were sent to $500

others familiar with the stock
market and securities.

to begin public hearings Febru-

said definite date will be set
after they have conferred with
key witnesses.
Response Is Heavy.
Normally a 10 per cent re-
sponse on such missionaries is
considered good" Robert A. Wal
lace, staff director of the Senate
inquiry, said. I'VE already have
more than that and replies may

Mr.. Wallace said officials Of
the Securities and Exchange
Commission and the Federal Re-
serve System also are supplying
q vast amount of data that Is not

Senator Fulbright has empha-

he said.
Looking For Causes.
Senator Fulbright has said the
public hearings will go into
causes of the sharp climb in stock
market values, factors affecting
stock prices such as taxes, credit
and margins; business conditions
and regulatory problems.

Attacks on President ElSen
hower's health plan are as uni
versal as the common cold.
Some New Deal Congressmel
say the plan, designed to expan,
private health insurance cover
age and reduce its cost. is moth
ing but a fraudulent" attemp
to hand 500 million to the in
Surance companies.
Some conservative Congress
men say it's a move to "socialize'
medicine and the insurance in
dustry.
The American Medical Associ-
alton is against the plan. but
some prominent doctors are for
1t. Insurance company officials
and spokesmen for the nom
profit health insurance plans
likewise are split.
The public-whom Mr.. Ell
senhower called "the only loser"
when the House rejected a SIM
liar program last year-has rea-
son to be confused.
Boiled down. the Presidents
plan would provide a maximum
500 million ($25 million the
first year, for a revolving fund to
be handled by Mrs. Oveta Culp
Hobby, Secretary of Health. Edu-
cation and Welfare. She would
use it this way:
If private insurance companies
develop new schemes to bring
more people under health insur-
ance plans and to give greater
benefits at lower rates, the Gov
ernment will share the risk of
trying out those schemes by
offering reinsurance on them.
If the new venture should flop
financially, the Government
would pay IS per cent of the loss
to the companies involved.
Not a Cure-All Plan.
The administration does not
claim the plan is a cure-all. 1t
won't solve the problem of the
several million Americans who
cannot afford medical care and
it won't reduce the Nations $9.5
billion annual medical bill. And
it won't take care of the person
who can't be troubled to take
care of himself.
Its hackers claim, however,
that in the long run the plan will
offer Americans a way to avoid
the financial ruin that fire.

heart disease. polio, and others.
Also, they claim, it will open
private insurance programs to
farmers. BARRIERS. housemaids.
the self-employed and others
who now have trouble getting
into group plans.
The plan is admittedly a mid
dleground" approach. which may
explain the fact that it is being
attacked from all sides. It's
theory is that Government
should just prod" its citizens
and the insurance business to
meet the problems. 1t is some
where between the compulsory
health insurance proposed by
President Truman and no Gov
eminent intervention at all.
! Rayburn Attacks Bill.
Last summer, the word around
Congress was that the Democrats
would go along with the plan
after firing a few partisan barbs.
Then Republican Floor Leader
Halleck of Indiana, trying to
round up Republican strays. said
that some people" opposed the
because they liked the
"socialized medicine" of Harry
Truman.
Speaker Rayburn, then leader
OF the Democratic minority, un-
leashed his Texas temper. He
attacked the bill and when the
votes were counted more than 80
per cent of the Democratic vote
was against the bill and it was
defeated.
This time. the Presidents men
will mute Socialism" attacks on

that risk and thus encourage
faster development"
But, it is asked. won't this lead
to unsound insurance plans, with
the Government picking up the
bill? Isn't it then, as the liberals
charge, a "giveaway" to insur-
ance companies?
mo" Perkins replies. ut is
true the Government would pay
rs per cent of loss on such an
experiment, but the insurance
companies would still have to
pay the other Is per cent. Too
many handouts on that scale
would break them"

lsrueI Cabinet
Condemns Bombings

JERUSALEM, (JTA) - The Is
rael Cabinet has condemned a
recent wave of bombings which
have occurred during election
rallies. Two "scare" bombings
took place in Tel Aviv last week
end at General Zionist election
meetings. No one was injured.
The Cabinet statement sternly
warned of the consequences of
such actions and called upon the
entire population to cooperate
with the police to track down
and prevent such incidents. Thus
far the police seem to have run
into blank wall in their inquiries
and nobody has come forward
with any information.

tiles have acted to make possible
Israel participation in Izmir In
ternational Fair, which opens this
month. In line with a decision to
conserve Turkeys foreign ex-
change reserves, the amount of
foreign currency which Turkish
funds may spend with foreign
firms exhibiting at the fair was
cut to a percentage of last years
figure.
Israel was slashed to 10 percent
of last years total, but later the
figure was changed to $275,000
about half of last years total. This
places Israel in a favored position
since such countries as Germany
received an allotment of only 80
35 percent of last years total. One
hundred Israel firms plan to be
represented at the Izmir Fair.

The
American Scene

JEWISH ISdIl1LdC1O1lS, SUCIl dS
the American Jewish. Committee
and the defamation League,
are beginning to take seriously
the fact that Jews are not being
admitted into certain clubs ..
Until now this type of anti-Jewish
discrimination was considered
merely a petty annoyance and of
no real consequence In fact,
many Jews considered it below
their dignity to seek admission
into a club where Jews were not
welcomed A mum b er of
studies, however, have now estab-
lished that social discrimination
is not just social, but also affects
Jews economically Many
business firms require their exc
cutives to join leading clubs
where big deals are discussed and
made This precludes Jews
from holding key business posi-
tons if they are not admitted to
such clubs Furthermore, the
spirit of anti-Jewish discrimina-
ton prevailing in the club affects
the mentality of business execu-
tives who are members . F. These
executives subconsciously practice
anti-J e w S h discrimination in
their own enterprises They
would not promote their Jewish
employees to high positions for
the fear that they would not be
socially acceptable in places
where their firms are interested
in maintaining contacts Thus
social anti-Semitism, to which
Jews in this country have tended
to be indifferent, turns out to be
more than mere snobbery f.. :.
Furthermore, some of the studies
established that the clubs where
Jews are not welcome are the
places where important decisions
are made for the entire commu-
nifty These basic decisions
often affect the economic and pol
itical life of all elements of the
population in the community ;.
They are reached at informal
latter hours" in clubs
where Jews have no entire
The Jewish part of the population
has therefore no say in these deci-
sions and no way of influencing
them The result is that a
power structure is being develop
ed by certain clubs which newt
ably forces upon Jews economic
and political decisions without
even consulting them . There
fore, Jewish organizations en-
gagged in fighting bigotry will
from now on stress the impor-
lance of fighting social anti-Sem-
itism and not merely ignore it by
organizing Jewish clubs

should open on Saturdays. The
newspaper made it clear that the
vote was in the nature Of public
opinion poll and was not binding
in any way on the Center's board.
