work force of the nation in profitable employment
This was proved during the war, when large num-
bers of people were employed at good wages who
had previously been regarded as unemployable-
blind people, for instance, and aged people, and
people who had various other handicaps.
We have a long way to go to achieve that kind
Of full employment again. 1t will take great deal
of effort, and lot more on the part of the
American people than is evident today. But it can
be done. 1t probably won't cost as much, in terms
of capital outlay and political and economic effort
as that shot to the And to many of u.s. it ap-

How "Affluent" Are We?

Two recent books provide with timely re-
mnders that the "affluent society" which is the
United States is not very affluent for very sub
stantial minority of American citizens, that indeed
40 per cent of our people living in poverty or
deprivation"
These not only the sick and the handicapped.
They people deprived Of job opportunities by
discrimination, people inadequately trained edu-
Gated, people working in savagely exploited situa-
TONS and people living in depressed areas, where
failures of planning shifts in the economy have
left them without employment.
Leon Keyserling, who was chairman Of Presi-
dent Trumans Council Of Economic Advisers, has
analysed the situation in his book Poverty and
Deprivation in the U. s. He estimates that SO million
Americans are living in poverty-on individual in
of less than $4,000 family incomes of less
than 81, 900 annually Another 80 million living
at just above the poverty level incomes below the
modest but adequate" budget standard set by the
Department of Labor.
THE Other America" by Michael Harrington
warns that the problem of poverty is becoming "in-
visible - being swept under the rug to speak,
and that the middle class Is scarcely of its
existence.
The migrant workers who follow the crops

Texas to Minnesota - unprotected by minimum
wage laws social security They are often, If not
usually, unprotected by any health and sanitation
laws any compulsory school laws for their chill
dren. The people who are handicapped by physical
educational, mental disabilities, by the plain
inability to get job, are left to the attention Of
professional welfare workers. and the rest of
scarcely aware Of them. Those in depressed
depressed segments of the economy get more atten-
ton because they articulate and
disposed to protest their plight-and because their
plight is inevitably shared to some extent by those
in higher income brackets.
Nevertheless it does not appear that we are
attacking the problem adequately. Keyserling says
there has been no improvement since 1861 and
charges that previous to that during the Eisenhower
administration, efforts to cope with the problem
deliberately slowed down. This it will be
membered, the period when spokesman for
business and industry were talking about the dis
advantages of "over-employment" Over-employ-

Mediocre Big Step In
Right Direction

Once few years ago wrote an editorial in
which pointed up the fact that in our land of
plenty the only groups which could afford long
illness without facing bankruptcy were the INDECENT
and the wealthy. Six months illness and hospital
care will bankrupt the average wage and salary
earning family
With the high cost Of hospital care and medical
expenses this is still true.
The present Kennedy Medicare bill is a step
in the right direction because it will remove the
present insecurity of many senior citizens who
must have disqualification and medical care after
retirement and often even If they have modest in
comes impoverished by the heavy hospital costs
of later years
The Medicare costs will be borne by all wage
owners and all who work will actually contribute
to the cost of hospital and medical services they
may need after retirement
The chief opponent of the bill is the American
Medical Association which persons will re-
member, opposed the original measure which set
up Social Security Now even the doctors who make
up the Association are covered by Social Security
and no person believes that SIS. was
bad thing for the nation.
This paper believes every Congressman and
Senator who votes against Mediocre realizes that
such vote is against the best interests of better
and more secure life for our elder citizens
The voluntary health plans usually provide
some relief to those who afford them but these
firms have yet unchalenged policy of cancelling
a risk matter how long it has collected premiums
If it thinks long illness is in prospect.
This is situation which would be avoided If
the King-Anderson bill is enacted into law and our
aged would be able to face the prospect of medical
care with confidence. To deny them this because
ANA and the insurance companies are against the
proposals is playing a cruel trick on our senior
citizens

Of a long and bitter quarrel over
regional power, went from bad to
worse when Alxintola announced
his plan to reshuffle the $2.8 mil

When word Of the plan reached
Awolowo, he, in turn, said he
would carry out his own reshuffle

Delay TO Virginia

By ALEX r. PRESTON
Star staff Writer

Chief Justice Warren yester-
day stayed indefinitely the ex-
ecution Of a three-judge Fed
eral court order that had given
Virginia until January 81 to
reapportion representation in
its General Assembly
His action temporarily re-
lieves the political squeeze in
which the State had found it
self and virtually rules out a
special session of the Legisla-
ture next month to reshuffle
its seats.
All lao members of the Gen.
eral Assembly come up for cleo
ton next year and the normal
filing deadline for party pri-
maries is April 10.
In granting the delay, Jus
tice Warren did not decide
whether an appeal would be
accepted or rejected by the full
court.
The three-judge Federal dis
trict court held in a 2-1 deci-
sion on November 20 that the
1862 reapportionment acts Of
the General Assembly were
unconstitutional and consti-
tuted ''invidious discrimina-
ton" against the more popu-
lous urban and suburban areas

considered to fall within this
category could include a PLAN
