The commission was headed by Dr. Paul Magnuson of Chicago and included seven doctors from uni- versity staffs, representatives of hospitals and nurses, consumers organizations, farmers, labor and the ie: The AMA president, Dr. Bauer, said the one particular recommen- dation is ‘‘so obviously objection- able, we wish to call attention to He said the recommendation is on Page 148B, Volume 1, of the commission report.

In general, here’s how the plan would work—as explained in the report and aplified by commission official: Complete medical and hospital service and some dental service would be provided for all people who wanted it on a prepaid basis, whether they paid the insurance premiums themselves or got some or ali financial help from the fed- eral-state plan. Regional authorities would be set wp in the various states for the direet operation of the plans, but the inswrance plans would be sub- ject to approval by state and fed- eral authorities. Doctors would not be in the majority on regional au- thority boards. Albert J. Hayes, president of the AFL International Association of |Machinists, and Blizabeth S.

Y. — The United States says flatly it won’t compromise on the Korean prisoner issue and it sees no use pushing any more peace plans plans through the United Nations unless the Communists agree that POWs won't be forced to go home. The State Department took this determined stand Mon. night in a stiffly worded communique. It also accused the Chinese Reds of re- jecting peace in Korea when they turned down the General Assem- bly’s plan for breaking the pris- oner deadlock that is holding up an armistice. France and Britain also ex- pressed deep regret that the Com- munists had closed the door on the U. N. peace proposals. A French spokesman termed Peiping’s rejection “entirely nega- tive and, for the time being any- way, destructive of hope.” The French U. N. delegation said Red China’s demands that all prison- ers be returned whether they want to or not is a call on the U. N. “to accept humanitarian bankruptcy.” Britain’s spokesman said the Red rejection “raises serious prob- lems which will require careful consideration by her majesty’s government.” U.N. delegates were busy study- ing the 3,000-word rejection note, Foreign Minister Chou En-lai to Assembly President Lester B. Pearson of Canada. It laid down terms for a settlement identical to Sovjet proposals which the 60- nation organization overwhelming- ly rejected. i The Peiping reply ‘called the U.N. plan, written by India’s V.K. Krishna Menon, “‘illegal” and ‘‘un- reasonable” and demanded that the Assembly rescind it and order the U. S. to reopen truce negotia- tions. Pearson worked today on a re- port to the General Assembly on the Communist rejection and del- egates wondered “What next?” Be Sure Youre Ri sent yesterday by Red China’s | POW Issue They had in mind U. S. Presi- dent-elect Eisenhower’s statement after his recent trip t#Korea that “we must go ahead and do things that induce the others to want Peace also.” The “no compromise” stand tak- en by the U. S. appeared to put off any further action in the U. N. until after the new U. S. admin- istration and its new delegation leaders in the U. N. are installed. The American statement laid full responsibility for peace in Ko- rea on the shoulders of the Chi- nese and North Korean Commu- nists ‘and their supporters”’—a clear reference to the Russians, Both the British and American governments reaffirmed determi- nation to continue to discharge their responsibilities in Korea. “The United Nations Command remains ready to meet again with the Communist negotiators at Pan- munjom whenever they accept the Proposals contained in the United Nations resclution or any of the other numerous proposals which have been made to them by the United Nations Command, or whenever they advance construc- tive proposals of their own which could lead to an honorable armi- stice,” the U. S. statement said. “However, there can be no com- REASONABLE RATES Ritz Hotel 132 E.

The draft age in France is 18% to 25 years. The Assembly passed the bill without a debate. Raymond Tri- boulet, speaking for the National Defense Committee, frankly said the action was being taken as reciprocity “of the worst kind” for J.
