For Health Insurance That Pays It is interesting to learn that the administration's committee on eco- nomic security is perfecting a health insurance plan whieh would enable the American public to pay its doc- tors’ and hospitals’ bills in advance and get the best of medical care, ‘With the cooperation of the presi- dents of the American Medical asso- ciation and the American College of Surgeons, the committee hopes to devise a scheme whereby both the or- dinary citizen and the medical pro- fession generally will fare better than they do now. In hard times, many citizens go ‘without medical care which they need very greatly. On the other hand, doc- tors do an enormous amount of work for which they get paid nothing at al. A program which would assure the patients of services and the doctors of fees ought to be exceedingly help- dul, Behind Crooks—Crooked Lawyers ‘The indictment of two lawyers who Gefended the Urschel kidnapers on the charge that they participated in the division of the Urschel ransom money, is hailed as a first step in the federal government's new campaign against unscrupulous criminal attor- neys; and it is to be hoped that the campaign is prosecuted with vigor and intelligence. Every man accused of crime has, of course, the right to hire counsel. But what are we to say of lawyers who lend their advice, month after month, to men they know to be crooked, and accept fees which they know come from illegal enterprises? ‘Where is the dividing line between the services a lawyer may legally ren- der @ client, and the kind of work which in effect makes the lawyer a member of the gang? In too many cases that line is alto- Gether lost sight of. The government's campaign should bring a salutary re- i Our Saner Age Because of changes in national dietary habits, the famous old mal- ady, gout, has almost passed from ‘the picture in America today. Dr. R. C. Williams, assistant sur- geon general of the U. 8. public health service, points out that in the It is the same with dyspepsia, an- other form of retribution for the man ‘who gorged himself, year after year, on over-rich foods. ‘Women used to suffer from a pecu- liar form of anemia—caused, doctors ‘believe, by the rigid steel and whale- bone corsets that used to be laced so tightly. With saner corseting, this malady also has just about vanished. ‘We often talk about the diseases such as smallpox and yellow fever ‘which are conquered by medical eci- ence. These lesser ailments, yield- ing less dramatically to medical com- mon sense, are also worth a thought, The Real Delinquent Every 20 often some die-hard sug- gests that the trouble with our young people is that we have been too spar- ing with the rod.

This, to be sure, is only a shadow of genuine self-government. The av- erage Russian will have very little more to say about the way his coun- the past. But relaxation of these rules, unim- Portant as it is, would seem to indi- cate that the Russian government is feeling a new confidence in its own Popularity. Danger in a Few Drinks Dr, William J. Mayo of the famous Rochester clinic, believes that the motorist who goes out on the highway ‘with just two or three cocktails under his belt is a greater menace to public safety than the one who goes out blind drunk, A couple of cocktails, he says, will slow up the normal man’s reactions so that it takes him two to four times as long to react in an emergency as a man without any alcohol in his stom- ach. A cold-sober driver, proceeding at 40 miles an hour, will travel about 25 feet before he can take action to meet a sudden danger; the man bal- lasted with a pair of cocktails will require 50 or 100 feet. “The drunken driver,” says Dr. Mayo, “will crash into a pole before long and thereby take himself off the road, but the driver with only a couple of cocktails will keep on going. His slowed-up reactions to danger and emergencies constitute the real men- In Support of Business ‘The coming year ought to be a good one for advertising—and, by that token, it ought to be a good one for business generally. Donald R. Richberg, NRA chieftain, has indicated that the government, will adopt no policy which would hamper advertising. Advertising costs will not be included in compilation of those basic prices on which the NRA framework rests. If a business man can increase his profits by an energetic and intelligent. advertising campaign, the spoils are fairly his. It ts a truism that advertising is the oil which lubricates the business machine. Mr. Richberg’s position is an assurance that Uncle Sam will do nothing to cut off the lubrication. The result should be good profits for business men wise enough to take advantage of their advertising oppor- tunities, A California judge has married the wife of a man he sentenced. That's the triumph of justice, Editorial Comment Editorials printed below show the trend of thought by other editors, They are published without regard to whether they agree or disai with The Tribune's polici An Elemental Precaution (Minneapolis Tribune) ‘The question of what emergency re- Mef workers shall be paid under Mr. Roosevelt's proposed _ $4,000,000,000 Program is already exciting the at- tention of congress. In some quart- ers the demand is being made that wages for this sort of work approxi- mate those paid in private industry. To provide lower compensation, it is urged, would be unfair and discrim- inatory and the point is made that the government, by paying less than the prevailing scale on its emergency Projects, would be setting a wretched example for private enterprise. The relief worker, like any other, is worthy of his hire; why not, it is asked, com- Pensate him accordingly for an honest day's work? While such arguments may be con- ceded some validity, they quite ob- viously overlook the dangers stressed by President Roosevelt in his open- ing message to congress. What Mr. Roosevelt fears, and with good reason, 4s a situation arising out of high gov- ernment relief wages which will make government employment as attractive @s private employment, and perhaps even more attractive. Relief wages, he stipulated, should be larger than the amount now received as @ dole, but they should not be large enough to “encourage the rejection of oppor- tunities for private employment or the leaving of private employment to en- gage in government work.” Such a position, try is to be run than he has had in! THE NEW DEAL [ASHINGTO! —BY RODNEY DUTCHER. (Tribune Washington Correspondent) Notable 1934 Beats Scored by Dutcher ... List Proves Correspondent Is Entitled to View Year’s Work With Pride ... And Readers Can Feel Certain They'll Keep Ahead of 1935 Parade, Washington, Jan. 11.—Among those who have little time to look back at @ crowded year 1934, but prefer to look ahead at a 1935 that will be even more eventful, is found the corps of Washington correspondents whose business it is to supply you with exclusive forecasts, interpreta- tion, behind-the-scenes narrative, and gossip. The parade of events here never slows down, which makes it the absorbing panorama it is, espe- cially during the last two or three years. But even a Washington correspond- ent with eyes on (and nose in) the future, may be pardoned just a moment to scan quickly back over 1934, It helps give perspective on 1935, helps reassure one that there have been plenty of times when he was out ahead of the parade with “ad- vance dope” that was not only inter- esting, but really important. BEATS ON PARADE For instance, “The New Deal in Washington” can look back on Dec. 13 and Dec. 28, 1933, when it was able to give you the first news of the ef- fort to start a senate munitions in- quiry, the investigation which has since reverberated through the gov- ernment and the nation from the White House down. Other “beats” that cropped up in this column in 1934 (and remember that the “beat” or exclusive story in the manna of life to all good reporters): Jan. 2—Alcohol Control Adminis- tration to lift quota on all Canadian liquor, Jan. 6—First definite prediction of Roosevelt's plan to take $4,000,000,- 000 profit for Treasury through dollar devaluation, Jan. 8—U. 8. to make rum in Vir- gin Islands. Feb. 20—Government sets out to re- quire standard labeling for canned goods. March 17—Plot to oust Dr. Willard Thorp, chief of Bureau of Foreign and Domestic Commerce. March 27—First inside story of Harriman Hosiery Mills labor dispute, which later became a national issue. FIRST ON WIRT PARTY April 11—The first and exclusive story of what actually happened at the famous Dr. Wirt dinner party. April 28—Advance outline of the Federal Housing Administration plan. May 4—“Roosevelt will have more strength in the next senate than any president has had since George Washington.” May 31—Secret visit of John May- nard Keynes to White House—and FLAPPER FANNY SAYS: what he told Roosevelt. Later dis- patches credit him with influencing New Deal spending program. June 20—Johnson succumbs to the professors, who move into NRA to find out what's wrong. RICHBERG FOR JOHNSON July 6—First inside story of John- son’s decline and the unannounced rise of Richberg. July 12—Exposure of unofficial Postoffice claim of a surplus, later: made official claim by Farley. July 28—Advance outline of Cuban reciprocity treaty. Aug. 14—First compilation of re- payable loans among New Deal “ex- Penditures.” Aug. 20—First inside story of Fed- eral Housing Administration mess, Oct. 18—Roosevelt decides to take unemployed off cash dole and give them work, Oct. 19—Administration shelves James Harvey Rogers and Professor Warren, the “gold wizards.” Oct. 22—NRA to break down code price-fixing and production control as soon as possible. | AND NOW FOR ’35 | Nov. 2—Inside story of why Presi- dent Hutchins of University of Chi- cago did not join the New Deal. | Nov. 23—Senate munitions commit- ! tee dead broke; investigators work ; ‘without pay. Nov. 30—Internal explosions on Na- | tional Industrial Recovery Board. Dec. 14—How close munitions in- vestigation was coming to the admin- istration as White House made ap- parent move to “take the play away” from senate. Dec. 20—Peek deal for cotton to Hitler has fallen through. It’s such things that make up a full year for Washington correspond- ents, and every one of us is betting that there will be an even fuller meas- ure of excitement in 1935 on which to try the keenness of eyes and the length of noses, Which is all any newspaperman has any right to ask.
