At this moment In American a national health program seems little more Ulan something for debute Congress is unlikely to pass such a program Uiis session, even thoiiel President Trutnan dumped it iti Congress' lap once more in ft spccia at of A It's Spring at the Zoo, But Stubborn Animals Are Giving Cupid a Bad Time message yesterday. He's been urging such a program 1 for years anil lie watits it paid for out of money taken from people's pay. In other words, a Lax. Bui his opponents call that compulsory health insurance and they're against compulsion, they say.

They even call it socialism, Some of them suggest, Instead, various programs in which the federal government would pay money to the stales to help them do more medically. That money, of course, would come out of taxes, too, althou-h it vroudn'l be a direct tax lor medical care. Mr, Truman and his supporters say the govcrnment-aid-to-the states (eda doesn't solve the health problem. And that, in a nutshell, is wher the argument stands aiul where i is likely to stand the rest of th session of Congress. Room for Argument This argument has been going years now and the printc material giving both matei ial you can pick up around th capital makes a big armful A bill carrying out- the ideas Mr.

Truman and his advisors offered early in this session Senator Murray, Montana Demo crat, and others.

E. Bradford, manager of the onesboi'O Social Security Admin- stration office, said today. "Some continue to confuse old-age ml survivors insurance with old- ige assistance." Bradford conllnucd. Others contuse old-age and surv- vors Insurance with unemploy- ncnt compensation.

All workers covered by social should realize Ilia I the jenny taken out, of each dollar of wages pays premiums for survivors insurance; which is in effect, a combined life insurance and retirement annuity policy.

The payments vary with the need for each applicant. Unemployment compensation provides workers with some income when they So right there Is the evidence that the thinking in the Senate is split wide open. But this week a new kind of cover-all bill that wraps up all the ideas Mr. Truman expressed in his message will be introduced in the Senate. This bill would gather together a number ot ideas about a health program that have been offered in Congress separately or linked together.

New Bill Outlined The new bill will take the place of the oue offered earlier by Scn- Murray. In his message Mr. outlined this kind of program: 1. A nation wide compulsory health insurance system, as described above, paid tor out ot taxes 2, Federal help for medical schools. 3.

More federal aid for building hospitals and other things needed for medical care. 4. More federal help with monej to the state and local governments for preventing and controlling dis ease, and other health steps. How nnicii would it cost? Mr Trumn didn't say. Cost of the Mur- are out a job.

Tlie Taft program would cost the government, some of its supporters say, around $2,000,000,000 for a live year period. Slither plan, or any plan, will cost money. So there are a couple of questions connected with any plan offered: cost? Will it the nation's health? Although the arguments have beer batted around for years now. there'll be plenty more of them. But little if anything will be done about the problem in the near future.
