'You Can Still Catch the Boat if You Hurry! Louis Bromfield Walter Winchell Drew Pearson Max Werner 0 Eras Matter of act Special: Dorothy Tex Easley A Science Briefs About 1000000 typewriter are produced la the United States an nually 'ield rations for United States soldiers are figured to supply 5000 Kansas one of our greatest agri cultural States has been working out the problem of doctors and medical sendee in a pattern based upon common sense reality and freedom from the welfare state In the dispute going on at pres ent over socialized medicine there has been much to be said for both sides The problem of socialized medicine did not arise without cause but like rural electrification ederal rural telephone service intervention and ederal power projects it arose partly from abuses and partly from necessity High hospital costs and medical fees were partly responsible but so also was the steady decline of medical service in many of our rural areas The Kansas Medical Society to gether with good citizens of Kansas have been working on the problem especially after sta tistics showed that there were 30 per cent fewer doctors in the rural areas than in 1900 although the population of the same areas had increased tar 25 per cent Only 28 per cent of doctors are practicing today in towns of less than 1500 people as against 50 per cent in 1900 This situation of course speaks for itself and the Medical Society recognized the fact that ordering doctors under a Socialist regime to practice in such areas would not appreciably increase their numbers and certainly would not increase their quality and so was not the answer to the prob lem The Medical Society in Kansas has taken the lead in making rural and amall town medical prac tice attractive alive and profit able for the doctor It has been conducting a campaign with con siderable results tor the building of well equipped hospitals in rural areas not only to provide the peo ple with better medical care but to attract more and better physi cians with facilities not only for practicing but for experiment and research The results of the cam paign have been far from negli gible ifty five Kansas communities have built or soon will build mod ern hospital centers and it Is in teresting to note that more than half of these independent and self reliant Kansas communities re fused State or ederal aid and constructed the hospitals through the issue of bonds In conjunction with the com munity building program the medical society has assumed re sponsibility for providing graduate education for the isolated doctor so that he will be kept wholly up to date and conversant with the rapid advances being made in medicine The State Legislature re cently appropriated several mil lions of dollars to enlarge the fa cilities of the State medical school so that the number of doctors could be Increased (One of the troubles today is that there are now enough doctors In the right places) Behind this program which is already having results lie of course other broader and less immediate factors There are a lot of doctors who would prefer life and prac tice in smaller and even In rural communities because of a better life and a better background in which to raise their children And fortunately despite the extreme over specialization which has af flicted American medical practice there are still many individual doctors who would prefer general practice as family physicians of the kind invaluable to the smaller community Of course behind everything else lies the dominant question of eco nomics prosperity and their effects upon any community The more prosperous the community the less Intolerance and ignorance and squalor and the better the condi tions of medical and hospital serv ice It Is a part of the campaign being conducted by the Kansas Medical Society to convince com munities that they will have better medical service in an enlightened and public spirited community than in a selfish and ignorant one The importance of the whole campaign is not confined merely to the direct and immediate re sults It presents a pattern in which the problem of medical and hos pital service may be solved in the spirit which has made this a uniquely prosperous and happy na the spirit of each community solving to the greatest possible ex tent its own particular problems rather then turning to a ponder ous inefficient expensive and stupid bureacratic state to do the job for them Apparently the Kan sans are smart enough to realize that no community ever gets anything free from the ederal Government The people pay for it usually paying twice as much for any service as if they had taken care of the problem in their own States or communities The further development of the Kansas campaign will be interest ing to watch Certainly has great significance in these distressing times when too many of our citi zens seem to think that it is their duty to solve all their problems and take care of them WASHINGTON AP Pepre sentative Olin Teague of College Station deplores criticism of the GI vocational training program It be given a black eye he says just because such activities as art and dancing schools have aroused criticism he says "one of the most worthy phases of the program has gotten little public attention since it deal with thejglamorous or the unusual "That is the agricultural train ing thousands of young fapners are getting "The Veterans Administration facing strong criticism because ol the operations of some of these phony schools set up to fleece the Government is throating to end the agricultural training Teague says he going to cite the accomplishments of the nu merous Texas GI farm training schools when debate arises in Con gress this session on whether the vA is to continue the program Some of the Texas schools are operated in connection with exist ing colleges and universities but a great many have been established by qualified individuals just as you would set up a private business school

opening bang frantic Senate pages and assistants find it The Vice new bride started the search when she asked to see th famous gavel But it wasn't In Its usual safekeeping place where it is supposed to be kept under lock and key So with only a few minutes to go until th session opened pages and assistants scurried oft in search of the miss ing gavel ive minutes before th open ing William Vaughan the Vice assistant rushed in with a substitute gavel But at the last minute Senate Sergeant at Arms Jo Duke got word of the crisis had removed the gavel to a safer place during th Capitol's houseclcanlng And with one minute to go he hustled th traditional gavel up to th rostrum and Vice President Barkley triumphantly banged the Senate to order Prices Chas Wage Here are some facts that Senator Jo of Wyoming chair man of the Joint Committee on th Economic Report is likely to find during his probe of the steel Industry In all the uproar over prices and wages little has been said about the high cost of management or instance General Motors' 57 top officers ana directors were paid $3048000 In salaries In 1943 But that was lust the beginning They also drew $5445000 in cash bonuses and 22930 shares of stock as ad ditional bonuses inally the com pany paid $275000 Into a retire ment fund for the same 57 ex all of which was added to the price of automobiles Another industry that has been blaming labor for high prices is th building industry Yet the labor cost for a modern $12000 home amounts to only $2000 to $2500 The cost of materials runs from $2750 to $4000 with another $1000 for the average price of a lot leaving a minimum of $4500 to cover taxes Insurance and manage ment Thus the biggest slice goes to management and profits While the big steel companies put up a terrific battle against contributing toward pensions for steelworkers these same com panies wer setting aside large sums for pensions for steel ex ecutives Steel finances a $50000 per ycar pension for each of its three top Old Voorhees and which does not include an additional $13000 a year for Olds toward which he puts up $4 for every $7 by the company Voorhees will also col lect an Additional $20000 each year after he retires while air less will draw $20000 on top of hl regular $50000 though he put up only $8 for the companv $10 In the case of Bethlehem Steel A Horner its president will able to retire In 1961 at the age of 65 on a pension of $110000 per year furthermore he won't have to contribute a penny toward this fund Yet In 1948 his working sal are was $263000 These are th same steel com pants that lust boosted prices be cause of $10Q a month pensions for labor Senator may find that the high cost of man agement also had something to do with high Prices When General Eisenhow er was Chief of Staff he suggested to high Republican leaders that management set a good example to the nation by cutting profit and prices The suggestion got a frosty reception Capital News Capsules Atomic energy

Jay ranklin or nearly four years Wash ington has echoed with rumbles of mental indigestion from within the President's Council of Eco nomic Advisers The former chair man Dr Nourse was said to favor a conservative approach to eco nomics where his fellow advisers Mr Leon Keyserllng wa regarded a a red hot radical Nourse finally resigned with some pointed re marks addressed to business labor and Government The it seemed had won th battle of the White House from now on it would be full steam ahead with the air Deal and th devil tax the hindermosL This pale pink dream has been dispelled by the council's fourth annual report submitted by Mr Keyserllng as acting director The report represents a viewpoint well to the right of Senator Robert Taft being devoted to a whimsical sort of pipe sucking hymn of praise to Secretary of Commerce Charles Sawyer and to the theory that Government and business are "that way" about each other Heaven help us when a Govern ment economist goes in for whimsy It is bad enough when our judges engage in that perilous pastime However we may test content with one specimen of philosophical meditations: "We now know" he writes similar are the weeds from these different seed (ascism and Communism) and how their pollen stifles eco nomic progress intellectual inquiry and spiritual aspiration" I have yet to read of anybody being stifled by pollen but it can give you hay fever and In case it seems to have brought on a bad attack of economic ney hey fever or he has gone spang back to 1920 In disavowing the New Deal theory that special national prob lems require special ederal meas ures In future It appears he will rely on the down" theory under another name to save the Government and Administration any responsibility for such matters as unemployment prices profits freight rates and farm unrest Perhaps he is right but this po sition marks the complete collapse of the earlier Keyserling theory In fact it might be said that Loon Keyserling has contrived to col lapse upward Into the job vacated by his former chairman and into the policy which Keyserling op posed while Dr Nourse was being driven from public life for sup porting it Here It la probably that Dr Nourse failed to understand Mr tendency to work both sides of every street Under the new pilot while the President call for bold new programs of economic pioneering and social Welfare the Council of Economic Advisers is making book with White House Adviser John Steelman Secretary of the Treasury John Snyder and Secretary of Commerce Charles Sawyer In proposing a policy that seemed dangerously old fashioned even when Warren Harding supported it some 30 years ago This report can conscientiously be recommended a reading for children especially for those who need a sedative at bed time But it contribute nothing to adult economic or th principles of po litical economy it is important chiefly because It shows clearly the Truman technique of playing both end against th middle and making sheep's eyes at business while promising to faithful to organized labor It also reveals that Keyserling is an abl politician bf th air Deal variety well qualified to hold

night dream of total destruction Yet this case is being seriously made at this mo ment by important personalities on the highest government level The worst nightmares have a way of coming true nowadays The es sential arguments must therefore be set down In brief It is theoretically feas ible to build a hydrogen bomb with something Ilk 1000 times the force of the uranlum plutonium bomb that fell on Hiroshima It may cost anywhere from $2 to $4 billions to build such a bomb In the shortest possible space of time The real issue in debate a bitter commentary on the state of the is whether such bombs can be surely delivered to their proper To blunt about It the vital centers of the Soviet Union are the obvious potential targets whether for the hydrogen bomb of th future or for our existing stockpile of uranlum plutonium bombs Great distances uncertain topography and other factors will alwavs make it extremely difficult to hit targets in Russia with rea sonable accuracy And the chief attraction of the hyrogen bomb 1 that it will reduce the premium on accuracy in any bombing attack This is simply becaus such a bomb should theoretically devas tate an area of from 60 to 100 square miles in one ghastly det onation Hence it should trans form what would be a wide miss even with a uranlum plutonium bomb into a direct hit consuming a whole city Even for convention al bombing this is crucially impor tant urthermore its impor tance may later be increased very greatly by the development of long range guided missiles Provided a pilotless aircraft is the type selected It has been pos sible to build the airframe of a long range mlssii at any time since the war The most talked about design is a stripped down pilotless jet bomber capable of sev eral thousand miles of flight at just sub sonic sneeds and at verv high altitudes How to guide such a missile has always been th ques tion A In the last year however the baric obstacle to long range missile guidance has been successfully sur mounted As was reported in this space a "non gyro scope has been designed MIT This almost miraculous instrument is simply a gvroscnpe whose accur acy is not disturbed bv friction Because it is deoendablv stable it provide the long soueht for missile guidance systems Th new gvroseone can for ex ample form th basis of a mechan ism that will control a mls lle dur ing thousands of miles of flight by automatic celestial navigation Eouallv It can be married to the radar target locater that will send the m'ssile home in the last stage of its long course And while thes or other guidance methods can hardlv achieve pinpoint hit they should brine the missiles nutte near enough to their targets If the war heads are hydogen bombs Already therefore fleet of in ter continental guided missiles carrying hydogen bombs are ex pected in certain authoritative quarters to be the strategic attack force of the future With all due allowance for inevitable disap pointments some such develop ment is certainly feasible in the ory Those who expect theory to be translated Into practice are the advocates of an immediate special effort to build a hydogen bomb The opponents of such an effort on the other hand are sharply critical of these lurid visions of the future Thev do not attack the un derlying theory although they note in passing that our present chaotic research and development program Is unlikely to achieve th sort of result outlined above Their criticism rests rather on their be lief that in air warfare the de fense is now being develoned even more rapidly than the offense Within the past 14 month American strategic air capabilities have already been materially re duced bv the appearance of an ex cellent Soviet jet fighter and th beginning of a Soviet ir

The Soviet Chinese bloc Is th strongest anti atomic alliance in the world China gives to th Soviet bloc an Asiatic Continental rear practically secure from atomic danger At the sam time China is being bolstered from th North by the Soviet military base on the Manchurian frontier Its importance wa rather under estimated in the United States but the Siberian base directed against Japan and running from China to Vladivostok was probably th big gest long range strategic Invest ment of the Soviet military policy In the '3(k the German military experts predicted that with this base the forthcoming Soviet vic tory against Japan is inevitable It has tied up strong Japanese force of th Kwantung Army in Man churia and deterred Tokyo from an attack against Soviet Siberia In August 1945 the Soviet cam paign Tn Manchuria was waged eight days only but it was meticu lously prepared for 15 years When Marshal Alexander Vasilevsky's Armies captured th Kwantung Army the military decision wa reached on the Asiatic continent With Japan's collapse th way was opened to China's military rise Our ability to be surprised im mense yet this development in Aria was predicted 23 year ago by the brilliant British strategist General uller General uller Is a British ultra Nationallst and seml ascist yet he Is one of th founders of modern mechanized war an original mind with wit and Imagination kind of rightist military Shaw He wrote in 1926 on the coming development of Asia: East set out along th same road which the West had traveled over a hundred years ago She was going to form nations create industries educate the pro in one word achieve oriental democracies And then? Internal wars coalitions and th great war with Europe While Asia was gaining strength dream ing of past glories and future vic tories what do we see in Europe? Nothing grand but everything small wormy and miserable" With the exception of the war against Europe General uller' prediction is correct for the China of today He was right In stressing that a rise of Industrialization ana education will promote the new military power in Aria And was right again in drawing the picture of the military strengthen ing of the East as against th background of the military weak ening of Western Europe While the idea of the mass army of the armed people of the rench "nation armee" is being rejected in the West it is accepted and carried out in the East Today Great Britain and rance cannot muster mass armies but China can The reason is not merely that China has more manpower The British and the rench strategy of today does away with the risks and the cost of the land war while modern China has de veloped the concept of land strat egy So it happens that China today takes over the heritag of Western Europe's military science while Western Europe abandons IL It Is clear therefore that an attempt to cut off ormosa from China would be a completely un realistic adventure Militarily and politically it simply won't work The State Department paper on ormosa stated very reasonably that policy makers cannot believe in this venture rom total bankruptcy not single square inch can be salvaged against the resistance of th young Chinese power Besides the case of ormosa must lead to reconsidering the en tire matter of the off shore bases These bases are strategically out dated Some of our air strategists like Generals Knerr and De Se verski are quite realistically re jecting island bases off European Asiatic shore as stronghold for American air power Whether ormosa or Japan or even Great Britain Island bases cannot hold out against the changed condition of war against intensified sub marine blockade and concentrated air and guided assault from the contlnenL Bases must be covered by distances but th European Asiatic island are ex posed to a
