The Association now looks with some favor on pre- payment group praciice, voluntary health insurance and clinies maintained by industrial firms, and recog- nizes that the needy must of necessity receive public | assistance when they are sick. But is continues to believe that medical care should be entrusted wholly to private practitioners, and assumes that the Federal Government will pay share of the bill, with nothing to say about the quality of medical care or how tax money is spent It is not likely that Congress will agree to the expenditure of tax money by local groups without any medical or financial supervision or control by the Federal Government. Nor can medical care be left in all cases to private practitioners with any hope of success. British experience proves as much. The Journal of the American Medical Association has pointed out the deficiencies of the British “panel” doctor time and time again. Yet something much like him is now ndvocated. Scarcely a word is said about preventive medicine, which must be our mainstay if we are to keep the tax bill’within reason. We need something better than this. There is a place for the family doctor, for prepaid group practice and for voluntary insurance. But no combination of these alone can be adequate. We have a responsibility to the needy who can pay nothing and to those in the low-income brackets who can pay something. That responsibility can be met by establishing public elinics | six months, in advance, $7.50; ' -|against in the distribution of films may collect dam- Too little attention has been given to the recent Jack Wilson blow which the Supreme Court dealt to a motion pic- | Ann Lovise Henning ture menopoly.

Realists on Atomic Policy (St. Louis Star-Times) Dr. Harlow Shapley of Harvard University and Dr. Harold Urey of the University of Chicago are making it clear in public appearances that they are impatient with the small minds which think of the new discov- leries in atomic fission in strictly military terms. | think along these lines is to think of *otal destruction for our civilization. Thus, they speak for the scien- | tists and others who contend that research in nuclear physics and control of atomic materials must be in | civilian hands. | For some time now Congress has been considering |© legisiation to set up a peacetime policy for control and further study of atomic energy.

Officials point out, however, that | several hundred horses are slaught- ered weekly all over the United States to feed the zoos of the na- tion. Furthermore, the United States today has a larger surplus of horses than ever before in his- tory. Agriculture Department esti- mates are that 3,000,000 surplus horses are now on the ranges:and farms of the country. The grain which they alone consume would go o long way toward feeding Eurove. Officials estimate that these 3,- 000,000 surplus horses would sup- ply a total of two and a half bil- lion pounds of meat, also give fats for soap, togethers with hides to ease the scarcity of leather.

It was s0 large, however, that it couldn’t get through the deors of the Cab- inet room and has remained in the main executive office lobby ever since. The table is a beautiful piece of workmanship with four large carv- ed buffalo heads originally at- tached to the four legs. For many years these buffalo heads were ad- mired, by ail White House visitors weven though someone occasionally bumped their knees against them. The other morning, however, Brig. Gen. Harry Vaughn, White House military aide, hurrying through the White House lobby. so bumped his knee on a buifalo. Promptly the four carved buffalo heads came off. It mattered not that the table was a present from the Philippines’ most famous lead- er in token of his long withheld friendship to the USA.
