"a CREATURE OF THE
LEGISLATURE"

Ted Schwinden -Roosevelt) said
"our course has to be determined by
the legislature because we are a
creature of the legislature and what
ever course we take must be based on
what the legislature told US to do".
This summed up the unhappy and un-
wanted task facing this interim legis-
lative group. Schwinden did not be-
lieve it was "regrettable" thing. He
said ''I think employees are fortunate
we are here"
The unhappiness of the group was
expressed by Sen. Paul Ringing Cd

Yellowstone Republican John Cav
an was concerned about whether Will
liams would want to proceed with the
investigation, and asked Suppose it
would be extremely damaging to his
character are we justified in 60
ing ahead in spite of his wishes?"
However, it apparently was not ne
cessary to ask Mr.. Williams if he
wanted to proceed with the investiga-
ton, because only one question was
posed by Sen. Robert Durkee Cd
HilD, council chairman: 'Tn your
opinion was your demotion a reprisal
because of testimony before the legis-
ative committee?"
A calm and confident Mr.. Will

Gilfeather said, "You have to give
them the right to question their ac-
cusers this is the proper thing to
do we are put in the spot of hav-
ing to be judges but we have been put
in that spot so that is what we are."
Cavan admitted a congressional in
vestigating committee process would
be '.much easier to control, but con-
gressional committees, he pointed out,
'are not known for some of the best
of operations. He said there had to
be an opportunity for each side to
"test the veracity of the statements
of the other by cross-examination He
also felt the court type hearing was
more protection to the council itself.
He said the straight legislative inves-
tigating committee procedure would
be pushing ourselves right into the
thing, hook, line and sinker."
A suggestion to hire an outside at
torney to further protect the council
was discarded because of the possible
of council members being
able to agree on one.
There was unanimous agreement
that the sole issue" will be the re-
prisal aspects of the demotion and

"All National Health Service doc
tors are free to take private fee-pay-

For free dental care you simply
make an appointment with a National

He is paid a fixed fee by the state
for routine work and passes you on

"With over SO million people in
England, Scotland, and Wales. the
cost this year will be less than $50

Brituin's Health
Plan Proves q
Great Success
From the OREGON LABOR PRESS


From the OREGON LABOR PRESS
We wish every American could read
an article in the current May issue
of Harper's magazine. It's called So
cialized Medicine, 10 Years Old. and
| it describes the success of Britain s
National Health Service.
Harper's is no radical magazine,
and the author of the article is no
leftwing propagandist. AS matter
of fact he is Don Cook, a veteran
newspaperman who is chief of the
London Bureau of the New York
Herald Tribune-one of Americas
leading Republican newspapers.
Cook sticks to the facts. The facts
show that Britain's great experiment
in free medical, hospital, dental, and
optic care for all citizens is a tre-
mendous success.
To us it seems tragedy that this
article appears in Harper's, with its
small circulation, rather than in one
of the big magazines with millions of
readers. But the big magazines are
afraid to offend the powerful Ameri-
can Medical Association. And the
ANA doesn't want Americans to know
that Britain's National Health Serv-
ice is success (Heaven forbid).
Our eyes were opened by the fol-
lowing facts and quotations from the
harper's article:
PUBLIC APPROVES
"Ten years after the establishment
of the British National Health Service
it is difficult-in fact almost impos-
sible-to find an opponent of social
zed medicine on the island.
"Ninety-seven per cent of the pop
1lation are registered patients of the

Day any medical bills. All but hand
;ul of Britain's $4,000 doctors serve

"On the 10th anniversary of the
of the service, the Brit
sh Medical Associations Journal was
ull of praise for it from leaders of

FPC Says Utility
Owners Must Pay
For Political Ads

WASHINGTON-REI-The Feder-
al Power Commission last week dealt
sharp blow to power company hopes
that political advertising costs could
be passed along to the consumer; and
upheld the principle that cost of such
propaganda must be borne by utility
investors.
FPC approved a ruling by one of its
presiding examiners excluding evil
dence group of electric companies
had offered in an attempt to justify
their treatment of such advertising as
an operating expense. The firms in
volved were identified as American
Independent Electric Light and Power
Companies.
Following hearings on the matter
last January, FPC ordered the firms
to 'show cause" why these advertising
costs should not be ''below the line".
In electric accounting parlance, be-
low the line costs are those which can
not be considered as an expense to be
passed along to consumers in rates.
Above the line costs can.
Power companies claimed their
treatment of advertising costs as op-
Grating expense was just and reason
able and attempted to show these were
expenditures to tell their
side of the story.
The examiner excluded this as evi-
dence and FPC affirmed the ruling,
stating the ads were of political ma
ture and hence must be below the line.
The companies may seek re-hear-
ing before FPC, but an appeal must
be filed within 80 days of the time the
ruling is issued.
However, FPC sources said there is
a question if the ruling is appealable.
Only an "aggrievable" order can be
appealed and it has not been deter
mined that the companies have been
'aggrieved."

william H. Scheide. said by
his press agent to know more
about Bach than any other hv-
ing man, joined Howard Mitch
ell and the National Sym
phony last night in q program
devoted entirely to Bach. There
was an orchestral suite, an or
gan transcription and frag-
ments Of cantatas and passions.
Or. Mitchell did all the con-
Quoting, but Mr.. Scheide
brought all his soloists with
him-instrumental as well as
vocal.
The Scheide Bach Aria
Group is strictly and literally
Just that. 1t produces nothing
but arias, eschewing not only
choruses and chorales from
the cantatas, which would re-
uuire larger forces, but also
duets, trios and quartets, for
which the singers are at hand
In the ensemble.
This severe limitation is hard
to understand. At best an
evening of excerpts from six or
eight cantatAs and passions is
anonymous music-making, but
when the excerpts are limited
to solo arias with various in
strumental accompaniment.
there is no more cumulative
interest in the music Of Bach
than in eight pages of the tele-
phone book. It is about as
dramatic as an evening Of So
liloquies and from Shakespear-
can plays, although most OF
Bach's cantataS, heard as en-
titles, are as essentially drama
tic as operas.
This basic structure aside, it
should be said without equivo-
cation that there was q great
deal Of beautiful and moving
music in the Scheide confec-
ton. He is well aware that
there is an all but unknown
treasure Of the most extraordi-
nary music buried in the 200
cantatas Of Bach. and has done
q great service to music lovers
in bringing 1t to life. His solo,
lists are all expert musicians

of Robert Bloom would be
