A visitor from Denmark,
Miss Eli Magnussen, read
something Of special interest
in the local papers yester-
day:
A report that medical care
will be made available to all
Americans, dless of
their ability to pay, during
the next 10 to Is years, in
the opinion Of four Social Sc
curity experts.
TT just has to be-" Miss
Magnussen said yesterday
afternoon. This is a matter
she's been discussing with
United States Public Health
Service officials for the last
few months
Miss Magnussen, chief of
the Nursing Section of the
National Health Service of
Denmark, came to America
to serve as a short-term con-
Sultant for the Pan-Ameri-
can Bureau, World Health
Organization.
Her special assignment was
to advise the United States
Public Health Service in
home nursing care and home
nursing services, particularly
with regard to care of the
aged.
Although she can not off,
cially advise it, "since it is
partly a political matter"
the Danish expert hopes this
country will soon adopt some
program guaranteeing med
ical care for all. Denmark
has had such a program for
the last 20 years and in the
modern world where we
know so much about medi-
cine" she said, it should be
universal.
A second thing Miss Mag
nussen would like to see here
is a switch of emphasis in the
nursing program.

Birth Control
Data in Mail
BY CHARLES ID. PIERCE
Star Stan Writer

SS@A Ok0h "AAbCA
While President Eisenhower
has said that birth control is
not a proper subject for gov
ernmental activity. there is a
Federal law banning the mall
ing of contraceptives or spe-
cific information about their
use.
The statute itself does not
provide for any exceptions, but
Post Office Department
spokesman said the courts
have held that in a wide vari-
ETY. of cases this type of mall
ing is legal.
The main question involved
in these cases, the Post Office
official said, is whether the
purpose of the mailing is law
full or unlawful.
Many Reflections
He said that many requests
by companies to mail con-
traceptives or pamphlets and
books containing information
about use of such devices have
been turned down by the Post
Office during the past year.
In addition, the spokesman
said, the Post Office has warned
approximately a dozen concerns
in the last IL months that they
we're violating the law.
In practically every case, the
parties notified agreed prompt
| ly to refrain from such mail
ings, he said. There have been
no seizures under the law dur
ing the past year, he added.
The Post Office Department
also reports it has not attempt
ed any criminal prosecutions
for violations of the law in the
past five years.
Post Office officials explain
that previous court interpreta-
tionS have made it extremely
difficult to prosecute under the
law which provides a maximum
penalty Of a $4,000 fine and five
years in prison.
One guide used by the Post
Office in deciding II a company
is violating the law is whether
or not its mailing list is unre-
stricted.
An organization, which also
published nudist magazines,
had mailed a brochure adver-
tiSing a book on sex informa-
ton which would include ad-
vice on how to obtain and use
Icontraceptives.
The brochure had been sent
out on an unrestricted mailing
list, according to the Post
Office.
AS a result, the Post Office
sent the company a notice
advising that mailing Of the
book would be illegal. The COM
pany agreed without a contest
to refrain from sending the
book through the mails.
Exempts Legitimate Groups
The courts have ruled that
the statute does not apply to
mail sent out by legitimate
organizations, such as planned
parenthood organizations, med
ical associations, pharmaceu-
tical organizations and medical
supply houses. -
In addition, the courts have
ruled that this type of mailing
is legal if a doctor-patient re-
lationship is involved.
Another argument the courts
have upheld in some cases is
that contraceptives may be
mailed If the purpose is to
help prevent venereal disease.
A spokesman for the Post
Office also pointed out that
several State governments
either ban or restrict the sale
OF contraceptiveS.
John Laskey, attorney for
the Planned Parenthood As
ISOLATION here, said the or
ganization has not had any
difficulty with its mailings for
several years.

EvERYBoDY knows that golf is President

Visitors at the Congressional Country
Club, only II miles from the White House,

playing sneak rounds = without his usual
posse of Secret Service men. To thicken
the mystery, these eyewitnesses allege the
phantom Eisenhower swings like Byron
Nelson. smashes balls 265 yards off the tee,

Even more astonishing is the report that
the President of the United States spends
his morning standing around under tree

Why the rumors? 1t seems that the club
pro, 6l-year-old Witty Cox, is ringer for
the President of the United States. Wher-
ever he goes, people, even admirals and
Congressman, mistake him for their leader.
Ike meets Witty
President Eisenhower actually played in
friendly foursome with Witty at the Con-
gessional few years ago. The Presidents
brother-in-law, Col C. Gordon Moore, and
the late Gen. Floyd Parks = Ike's PAIRING
partners in the foursome = we're amazed
at the resemblance.
Even Secret Service men couldn't tell the
players without score card. But there's no
real cause for alarm, folks. WHY'S in his

Safeguards Against
DrOwnings

Drownings rate second only to
misuse of farm machinery as the
cause of accidental deaths on
farm property, county agricultural
agent George Vapaa, reminds farm
families - and others who will be
going to the country this summer.
Teen-agers and younger children
are more frequently the victims,
the U. S. Department of Agricul-
turer reports.
Drownings have increased with
the increase in farm ponds. During
the past 25 years, nearly a million
farm ponds have been built for
soil and water conservation.
They supply water for livestock,
irrigation, and fire protection.
They are also centers for picnick-
ing, boating and skating.
Safety instructions should be
posted where there are hazards.
such as sudden drop-offs or deep
holes, and ring buoys, ropes or
long poles at swimming areas. An
inflated inner tube on post at the
edge of the pond can be lifesaver
in an emergency, Vapaa said.
Safety advisors also recommend
that farm people take instruction
in artificial respiration, and see to
it that young people using the farm
pond learn swimming and water
safety rules.
Farm people, because they are
farther from skilled emergency
help than city people, must be able
to act quickly for themselves,
Vapaa pointed out.

The annual Northeastern Section
of the American Society of Agron-

aware June 1913 and watched a
helicopter perform some agricul-
tural tasks.
DR.. Carroll Voss, owner of Agro-
tors Inc, Gettysburg, Pa, gave the
demonstration before the agrono-
mists and a large crowd who just
stopped by to watch the "whirly-
bird"
The helicopter can apply weed
and brush killer in areas difficult
to reach with more conventional
equipment Voss demonstrated the
ability of his machine in applying
brush killer along a railroad he'd
gerow on the east end of the Uni
versity farm and also applied
nitrogen to some pasture plots,
jumping fences along the way.
The agronomists also toured the
experimental plots at the Univer-
sity farm and at the Hay Research
farm, Middletown, and read re-
search papers.
Wednesday evening, DR.. Paul
