Judge Dickson left half contin-

something to see.
Dickson is credited with setting
the stage for the second half scor-
ing splurge by the Gophers when
he returned the kickoff 20 yards to
his 80.
Bobby Bell sophomore tackle
switched from back to line was
the victim Of Indiana's knowledge
that he was new at the position.
The Indiana offense successfully
trapped him on a number Of plays
but he made it all up by rushing
the ball carriers and making the
key block which allowed center
Annis to run an intercepted pass

changed II it can be assumed that:
a. No man would like to gamble
with his health or that of his fam
lily; (2) Every man would like to
see that his children have an op-
portunity for an education; go
No man would like to leave his
family destitute; a. Every man
would like to have adequate medi-
cal and hospital coverage in his
old age.
The problem with Blue Gross,
as explained by the writer in the
Minneapolis paper. is that they
have a high percentage Of chron-
ically Ill people. The commercial
assurances have moved into the
field Of health insurance and are
insuring the groups of working,
good risk people.
The group policies have either
cancellable clauses or are too ex-
pensive to carry as individual pol
icies. Thus, II the policyholder gets
chemically Ill and has to leave the
job, he cannot carry the insurance.
These policies are not carried
by individuals after they are 65
years old and retired. The individ-
ual at this age cannot obtain any
type Of insurance.
Profit Ii Tremendous
The commercial insurance COM
panies, since they are insuring
good risk people, can afford to give
a much cheaper rate than Blue
Cross These working people sell
dom have illnesses. The illnesses
that they have are short in dura-
ton; thus they have smaller hos
pital bills and smaller doctor bills.
The profit in this type Of insurance
IL tremendous.
Employees At Disadvantage
After the employee retires these
assurances companies have no OBJ
legation to him. In addition to this,
most Of these assurances have
clauses - such as not paying for
more than one disqualification for
the same illness; not paying for
an illness II the individual had the
disease before becoming insured,
and the company decides whether
the illness was present.
This happens many times with
tumors and other chronic illnesses.
Once the insurance company turns
the individual down, he has no ap-
peal. To have a lawyer would cost
as much as the hospital bill at
times.
There is no fair basis for deny
ing the people the right to have
national health insurance. There
is no economist who would justify
an individual paying his money
into something when he does not
need 1t and at the time when he
needs the money 1t Is not available,
to him.
It II convenient for an individual,
during his productive years, to
have health insurance; however,
while he is productive he can pay
hospital and doctor bills the same
as he buys automobiles. When he
Is no longer productive that is
when he needs insurance.
There should be an agency where
money during the healthy produc-
tive years could be paid into In
order that the money would be
available for care after retirement.

in behalf of Kennedy and johnson
it was announced this week.
Powell, a powerful speaker and
one Of the most controversial fig

the pastor Of the largest Baptist

In the next session of Congress

the powerful education and labor

committees.

first appearance here.
Bringing him here was a smart
move because he Is generally ad-
mired as a civil rights leader in
the East, he is solid with N.Y.s
black Harlem and Is strictly a nom
conformist, apt to say what he be-
heves, right Of wrong-at the drop
of the hat.
Labor union people viii be inter-
ested in hearing him because of
his important post in the next
Congress on a committee where all
labor legislation must be consider
ed.
The Kennedy people have been
using him TO cOmteract the af-
feet ON Negro voters Of having
Senator Lyndon johnson on the
ticket.
The claim Is made that he has
been having good success in sell
ing the Texan in some areas.
Aggressive, sustained political
activity among Minnesota Negroes
is the lowest In recent history Of
Presidential campaigns. The Ne
gro vote Of course while numer-
ica1ly small in this state has stra-
tegic value because as in all other
states, it tends to support solidly
those candidates who are known
friends (civil rights advocates). In
the expected close races in this
state the Negro vote could be q
big factor In securing victory for
either party or any statewide can
didate.
Interest Ii high In the rank and
file, average citizen group in the
Minnesota Negro community but
Negroes with political, and COM
munity influence, are not falling
over themselves as in the past
supporting the various candidates.
A move which may be too late
starting is said to be getting under
way to try to defeat legislative
in both the Twin Cities
who are lulxewarm towards or
against legislation designed to curb
race and religious discrimination
