to have faith in them that
they would do as they said
they would. Why then do they
have so little faith in me and
other humans? Did it never
enter these small minds that
people of smaller nations
would help, would be moved
by their human compassion to
evacuate us from this radio
active wasteland, if need be?
I do not advocate individual
shelters. Even the caveman
was smart enough to live in a
group. I do believe in COM
munity shelters. 1 mean COM

children, my friends and my
fellow humans every possible
means of protection. 1 believe
we have to do all we can to

The buck has been passed
long enough on who is going

now the william because it
takes no steps to build all Of

the william If 1t build all of

income taxes to cover the cost.

The popular beliefs of the
moment on the subject of
shelters seems to be divided
principally among the camps
of ID no one can survive
there is no place to hide-who
wants to live anyway so why
bother, and the equally en-
lightened group 90 / shall dig

kill all oncomers. Somewhere
inbetween is the supremely in
spired bunch which looks to the
government, any one will do
local, state, federal to pay for
this, thereby absolving them
selves of any responsibility on
the grounds that it is the re-
sponsibility of the govern
ment(s) to protect them.
We talk about this nuclear
war between the Soviets and
the U. S. as though the de-
struction of these two nations
We're the destruction of the
world. The physical, economic,
social destruction of these two
herculean powers does not
mean the destruction of the
entire world. For us it would,
but millions of other people
will live relatively untouched
by any nuclear disasters we
may suffer. Have we become
so SNUG In our thinking that
the world will stop turning be-
cause two giants cease to
exist.

Report Shows Decline
In Real Workmen's
COMPENSATION Benefits

WASHINGTON, D. C.-Most state
workmen's compensation laws provide
less income protection for disabled
workers today than 20 years ago.
A report compiled by the AFL-CIO
Department of Social Security shows
that although dollar benefit amounts
have been increased, they have not
kept pace with the rising wage level
since 1940."
Assistant Director Clinton M. Fair,
in letter to AFL-CIO state central
bodies, points out that improvement
in workmen's compensation benefits
in recent years 'shas been substan-
TALLY Less than what it should have
been.
In most states, maximum weekly
benefits for temporary total disabil-
ity last year were less than so per
cent of the average wage in covered
employment in the state. By contrast,
in 1910, when wage rates were much
lower, maximum benefits in most
states were more than 70 per cent
of average wages.
By way of example, the monthly
maximum benefit in Georgia in 1910
was $40 while the states average
weekly wage then was only $17.85.
BY the end of 1859, the average wage
had risen to $71.38, but the maximum
benefits had only gone up to $50.
Similarly, in New York the 1910
maximum benefits of $25 was high
err proportion of the average wage of
fit of 1859 was to an average wage
of $98.78.

Income Tax Major Source
OF State Revenue Increase

up S269,358, and the Inheritance tax,
up $15O,965. The electrical energy
tax was up $42,744, and the metal
mines tax, reflecting the absence of
labor trouble in the non-ferrous in
dustry, gained $40,114 in fiscal 1861.
Biggest drop in revenue in fiscal
1861 was the oil tax, down $65,886,

other substantial decrease from 1860
levels was the freight line tax, down

Ribicoff Sees Health Care
As Basic American Right

SAN FRANCISCO-(CNS)-A
quate health care is basic American
right, Welfare Secretary Abraham
Ribicoff told 500 students graduating
into the health professions last month
1.-THE practice of medicine is a public
trust"
The community has large RESPONSE
bilities for treating chronic illness
and caring for old people because
those who're most often afflicted are
least able to pay for their care, he
said.
Ribicoff reminded the graduating
physicians, dentists, and nurses that
public funds have s'heavily endowed"
their training, that the public will
grant them license to practice, and
that public funds have built or
equipped many of the hospitals where
they'll work.
He urged them to accept expert
ment and change in financing medi-
,al care.
