The Doctor and the Health
Plan

Sometimes the uninhibited effrontery of our
medical friends leaves us gasping. An example is
the quarter-page open letter" published in the
daily press last week by the Minnesota State Medi
cal Association, which not only presumes to tell the
President of the United States what he should say
about the issue of medical for retired persons
but also implies that the President of the United
States is guilty of misrepresenting the facts.
when you talk to the people, Mr.. President,
please tell them the whole story" So reads this pre-
posterous piece of impudence
The whole story, according to the doctors, would
be complete acceptance of the somewhat juvenile
and almost totally uniformed position taken by the
political medicine men, plus acceptance Of an i'm
plcaton that the advocates of social security medi
cal benefits have been disappearing what their
program will do.
OF course this is not true 1t is not true as the
doctors assert that 1.-The King Henderson proposal
does much less than the elderly have been led to
believe it would" Every responsible exposition of
this legislation that have is specific about
what benefits the bill would provide, and we chal-
lenge the members of medical association who
against the bill to cite responsible source which
misrepresents the bill in the way implied in the
associations ad.
1t is only half true that many voluntary health
plans available today for those IS provide equal
better benefits" than the social security proposal
This is a cruel and vicious Misrepresentation of the
facts. The other half of the truth is that present
voluntary plans available to some. but not all,
of the people IS, that they within the means
of some but not all Of the people over IS, and that
in every they subject to cancellation,
prohibitive premium increases, or BOTH If the sub
scriber begins to require too much medical and
hospital care.
1t has long been recognized by all responsible
authorities including medical authorities that pre-
payment of medical is feasible only If the cost
be spread large sections of the population.
If this broad spreading of the risk Of illness cost
against the prepayment fund. The so-called vol
untary" plans effective only to the extent that
they such groups the employees Of
large corporation a compulsory (non-voluntary)
basis. One wonders why the doctors persist in mis-
stating this aspect of the matter by calling these
plans voluntary"
AS people retire from employment this protec-
time, they face the need for more, and costly,
medical care
We have not heard that the doctors willing
to give this when the patient cannot pay for it.
It seems to that the doctors concern should be
with medical matters and that they ought to leave
the economics of the problem to people who know
more about it than the doctors.
And if they want the truth of the matter, our
doctors friends get closer to it by listening to
President Kennedy than by listening to the Mime
sofa State Medical Association.

Buying Power And Job
Opportunity

When high-powered national corporations start
planning their advertising programs with special
concern for the Negro market as Pepsi-Cola
Dodge, Ford, Camel and many others do, it is time
for to take look at ourselves.
What is the Negro market? How big is it If
it is powerful enough to order the attention of big
national advertisers, how much power does it have
in the hands Of Negro buyers, to overcome discrm-
nation, open up equal education opportunities and
enforce equality Of job opportunities?
The answer obviously is that the power is ire
mendous, and could be greater if it were used
more determinedy toward the detectives we all
seek
The Negro market-Negro buying power-has
been the staff Of life to the Spokesman and Re-
corder newspapers from the day they founded
nearly 80 years ago. The newspapers have survived
because advertisers interested in the Negro
market, and readers channeled their buying power
to those who were interested in them.
When began publication, job opportunities
for Negroes in professional fields nonresident
They were almost nonresident in most other fields
This has changed because Negroes and their friends
have kept the spotlight continuously the problem
and continuously voiced their demands for reform
There were many ways in which this was done, Of
But one of them has been through the Negro
press-which is way of saying through the organ
lied use of Negro buying power.
The use of buying power is a relatively painless
way to keep organized pressure on the community
for more just treatment for groups suffering from
discrimination Your papers will continue to fight
this fight with all the resources that are made
available to it through your of your buying
power. If you are interested, refer you to the
QUESTIONABLE page five. We would like to hear
from you, from your neighbors, and from your
friends and relatives.

Focus On
Africa
BY EDDIE L. MADISON, JR.

THE COMMITTEE of Sew
enteen on Colonialism, a United
Nations inquiry group, has
agreed to begin on May q, a
three-week visit to Africa. The
committee added Dar-es-Sal-
aam, Tanganyika, to it's timer
airy. Observers have questioned the
inclusion of Tanganyika in the
itinerary since that country has
already obtained its independence
from Britain, and from all indica-
tons, is making progress under an
African-controlled government.
The trip, during which the COM
mittee will hear petitioners, was
criticized by Jonathan B. Bingham
of the United States.
Bingham's view, it is believed,
stems from previous announce
ments that the world organization
Is in dire financial straits. The
committee was set up by the Cen
eral Assembly to make a survey
aimed at carrying out the AS
sembly's directive on the ending of
colonialism.
SINCE THE major objective of
the Committee of IT, for all prac-
teal purposes, is to stamp out
white supremacy in Africa, the
areas which resent its efforts in
clude those territories which are
still white-controlled. Chief among
these the Federation Of Rhodesia
and Nyasaland, headed by Sir Roy
Welensky, prime minister.
The Federation includes North
ern Rhodesia, Southern Rhodesia
and Nyasaland. African national

posed to the Federation. Further,

Grafton. Butler told Parliament
that Northern Rhodesia should be
ready for elections in October.
He also announced that Britain
recognizes the right of Nyasaland
which has an African-controlled
government, to break away from
the Federation but the (British)
Government rejected the opposi-
tons demand that the principle of
secession should be included in the
motion then before Parliament.
The governments of Northern and
Southern Rhodesia are European
dominated, meaning that elections
are weighted in their favor.

that the one-party system is best
for their present political needs.
She is Barbara Ward who now
lives in Ghana. Miss Ward, in a
television interview in New York,
defended newly independent Afri-
can states against charges by some
Western critics that they set up

when he had to go to Balti-

George had received six

doctors say, George may be
able to sit up without pain
and regain the use Of his
hands. Some time next month
George will go to the Institute
of Physical Medicine and Re-
