IF We Desire To Secure Peace
-"-There is a rank due to the
United States among nations which
will be withheld, if not absolutely
lost, by the reputation of weak
ness. If we desire to avoid insult,
we must be abe to repel it; if we
desire to secure peace, one of the
most powerful instruments Of our
rising prosperity, it must be known
that we are at all times ready for
ar.'-George Washington, adj
dressing the U. S. Congress, Dec.
3, 1898.
Steel Mill For India Despite Con-
President Kennedy's Ambas-
sador to India, Chester Bowles, has
told the people Of India they can
defeat the will of the U. S. Con-
gress without losing out on for
eign-aid handouts. In the Foreign
Aid Bill, a stipulation was inserted
to prevent our aid dollars from
being used by Nehru to build a
proposed government-owned steel
plant in Bokaro, India. AS the
American people are against the
socialistic principle of nationalized
industry. their representatives in
Washington voted to forbid our
foreign aid from being used to adj
vance socialism elsewhere. How
ever, Ambassador Chester BoWles,
speaking in Calcutta the other day,
told the Indian people that they
could get the government-owned
steel plant and still get the Ameri-
can foreign aid dollars. BoWles
said that the Congressional direc-
tive could be skirted by releasing
Z. s. aid funds for smaller Indian
projects that could be financed by
India's foreign exchange, which
process would, in turn, release
funds for construction of the Bo-
karo plant.
"Medicare" Killed For This Year
Chairman Wilbur d. Mills of the
House Ways and Means Commit
tee has announced that no bill pro-
viding compulsory medical care
under the Social Security system
would be acted upon by his COM
mittee this year Thus, one of the
Presidents pet programs is put in
moth balls by a leader in his own
party. But the "Medicare" plan has
not been abandoned by its spon-
sors.
No one denies that medical care
is a problem for many older Ameri-
cans. But long strides have been
made toward solutions without
Government help. More than 125,-
000.000 Americans have insurance
for both hospital and surgical eX-
penses. This coverage is broader
and more flexible than proposed
"Medicare'. Though private insur-
ance protection is still incomplete,
the gap will not be closed by "Medi-
care, with its limited hospital
benefits for Socia! Security work
ers and nothing at all for the mil
lions outside the Social Security
system. The "Medicare" plan would
add appreciably to the already high
Social Security tax, an increase
without justification in view of the
fact that "Medicare" would not
include medicines, surgery, doctor
bills, or any of numerous other
necessities.
The Kerr-Miiis program is more
generous. Kerr-Mills is a Federal
State fund-matching program de-
signed for medically needy per-
sons over SIS. A survey shows that
already two-thirds of the States
have adopted KerrMil,s programs

cal aid for older persons, we can

JIM BISHOP
Grandma Flynn
Trusted a Bum

There is an old sorrow In
the hill. It stands bare, like a
clenched fist, on the left of
the turnpik e nearing New
York. Laurel Hill. The name
is an irony because it was a
pOorhouse. There are no lau-
rels in poverty; no infirm legs
over negotiated the front
steps of that old red brick
building with honor, or with
hope.
THE BUILDING is coming
down. It never accorded pity
to the old, and now that it too
Is old, it gets none. Once
there were three main build
ings: the poorhouse, the pri-
son and the hospital for COM
municable diseases. The fell
on, the syphilitic and the an
cient wept in separate struc-
lures.
They put Grandma Flynn In
the pOorhouSe years ago. You
do not know her, but I want to
introduce her because she
was a giver, never a taker.
She ran. a boarding house on
South street, an old place with
a high Stoop and a furnished
basement, and she took in
loafers and buns and DRINKS,
and sometimes she mended
their minds.
She made thick hot soups
for them, washed their shirts
and u n d erw ear on an old
wash board in a galvanized
tub, baked bread in an old
Boynton stove, pressed their
suits, made tn cir beds,
scraped pennies for the next
meal, and never asked a IA
vOr.
Grandma Flynn was not my
grandma. Her grandson was

my friend, and he was a
handsome kid with deep wavy
hair. He lived with grandma
because his father had died. Of
tuberculosis and his mother
found another man. The kid
was a taker. So Grandma
gave him spending money,
and bought him suits and ties,
and took whatever was left
and gave it to the Summit Az
enue Church.
He drank a lot, and, when
he had a job, he gave grand
ma nothing. We used to 60 to
frat dances on Saturday
nights and get drunk and fall
into Grandma Flynn's place
at dawn. She had a face like a
bleached prune and when we
made fun Of her lack Of teeth,
she used to laugh and cover
her mouth with her hand.
She Shopped. She worked.
She prayed. She fOrgave every
body who ever cheated her,
and she took them back when
they were broke.
l moved away and forgot
her. l forgot her grandson too.
Fifteen years went by. Then a
detective from the Elizabeth
street precinct phoned and
said they had a tubercular
bum on The B owery. His
name was Flynn and he
named me as next of kin.
/ went to see him. He lasted
long enough to get to Sea
View Hospital. He told me
that Grandma Flynn was at
Laurel Hill. l stopped there
one day and they brought her
out.
SHE SAT, SHYLY, locking
and trying to remember, and
rubbing those old knees with
parchment hands. l wanted to
tell her that her boy was
dead, but l couldn't.
"You see," she said slowly,
''he's been sick. Very sick.
But he wrote to me and he
told me he's going to take me
out of here" / said nothing.
''You understand" she said.
''He's going to take me out
because-well, nobody wants
to die in a place like this,
Jim. He's going to take me
out all right"
It was a mistake to have
made the visit. l sat fidget-
ting. Then l said: that's
what he wanted me to tell
you"
She died there. Now the big
hill is becoming bare again.
But there's a radiance in it.

Stop Killing

Dear DR.. Steincrohn: When
ever l read articles about the
causes Of alcoholism m,
the writer seems to feel It Is
due to Illustrations, family
troubles, preSsures, etc. Never
do they say 1t is because the
man Graves alcoholic bev-
erages or that he likes the
taste or that he needs the
stimulation Of the drink.
! liked the stuff no matter
how strong from the time /
was three years old, but quit
when / was Is.
At that time I learned of
many generations of alco-
holism in the family and of
their early demise. / decided
to break the chain and haven't
touched anything with alcohol
In 1t for so years.
I like the smell Of 1t but
fear the consequences. /
haven't lost any business or
friends, who respect my alb
stinence, an have gained
much in health. My b e avy
drinking friends have, in most
cases, passed away. - Mr.. x.
READERS MAY recall the
case history l cited not too
long ago of a 21z-year-old child
that got hold Of a fifth Of
bourbon and polished it off. He
was dead drunk, and only an
exchange TRANSMISSION with
drawing practically all of his
blood and substituting fresh
blood saved his life.
I wonder how Mr.. K got
started at the age of three.
Was it a similar hinge?

Dear DR.. Steincrohn: / have
been suffering from hiatal
hernia for years. The usual
medical care (diet, etc.
doesn't help. It has got to the
point where two medical men
Of fine reputation advise that
surgery is now the only thing
that will help. But l am very
anxious as / am as. Isn't
that too old for such an opera
ton? Mrs. j.
THE BEST WAY to answer
your question is to reprint a
letter recently received:
Dear DR.. Steincrohn: A few
months ago you answered an
inquiry regarding hiatal
hernia. My personal expert
ence may interest you. For
several years (six or eight l
suffered with severe stomach
spasms accompanied by heart
difficulty and an asthmatic
condition. Without any relief
from prescribed medication l
consulted another doctor.
Immediately, X-rays W ere
taken showing serious hiatal
hernia. I was treated with an
tispasmodics for 10 months I'M
til surgery was advised.
My surgeon was already
recognized as a chest special
list with reputed success. In
my case, the entire stomach
lay in the chest area. The OPP
GRAFTON required 51l hours;
stomach replaced to normal
position below diaphragm;
necessary stretching Of esOph-
agus and repair Of dia-
phragm. This was performed
by removal Of a rib in back,
incision from center Of upper
back, along line Of ribs, to-
ward center front (38 stitches).
l was returned home 10 days
later. I have had no further
trouble - eat all types Of food
- complete recovery. And, l
am II years Of age.
Because Of my appreciation
Of my surgeon and the hos
pital staff, l am writing to you
hoping that my letter may
be helpful to someone else
through you, DR.. Steincrohn.
