New Medical Care Program Agreed Upon BESSEMER --The i County Welfare commission and Medical Society have agreed on a medical plan covering all welfare medical and hospitalization programs, according to an announcement by Social Welfare Director Walter E. Bennetts. The new plan, effective Jan.

1, allows for the selection of a doctor or physician and closely follows the "Michigan if Fee" schedule for governmental welfare agencies as revised July 1, 1959. Included in the plan are the new state and federal aid for the aged program, as well as the general assistance and direct relief recipients program. In the past, persons receiving medcal care and or hospitalization under the general assistance and direct relief programs, were cared for by a doctor engaged by the Social Welfare authority, on a salary basis. The new state and federal aid for the aged program, which became effective in November, 1960, provides that recipients have the selection of their respective physicians. By the revision, the persons under the general assistance and direct i programs were extended the same privilege relating to selection of physician to establish uniformity in the programs.

The cost to the county is not definite at this time, said Bennets. It depends largely on the amount of state and federal participation. He estimates, however, that the present budget will cover the cost of the program for 1961. Dag To Belgium UNITED NATIONS, N.Y. fAP) Secretary General Dag Ham- marskjold in a sharp protest has called on Belgium again to stay out of the Congo's internal strife.

Hammarskjold published a note to Belgian Ambassador Walter Loridan Monday protesting that Belgium aided Col. Joseph Mobutu's troops by letting them pass through the Belgian-administered trust territory of Ruanda-Urundi to get at rebels hi neighboring Kivu Province. The secretary-general said Belgium's action had violated the U.N. resolution calling on all nations to keep hands off the Congo and leave peacemaking there to the U.N. force.

Hammarskjold demanded Belgium "take immediate and effective measures to insure that 'there will be no possibility of Belgian authorities in the trust territory of Ruanda-Urundi or elsewhere lending support directly or indirectly to military action by Congolese troops."

The Senior Choir will rehearse at 7 Wednesday night Editor's Note Nejct Sunday Americans" begin the 'commemoration of the great war that rent the Union a century ago.

Was this actually an "irrepressible conflict" or a tragedy of errors that could have been avoided? In the four-part series adapted address delivered before The Associated" Press Managing Editors convention, one of the nation's leading Civil War historians discusses that question and its meaning for Americans today. By BRIJCE CATTON Written For The Associated Press It is sometimes said that the Civil War came because the machinery of democracy had broken down." That is not quite true. It came because the machinery of democracy was not used. By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Bruce Cation at 61 is perhaps the most famous living student of the Civil War. A master of the subject, he calls it "The thing that makes America different." A native of Petoskey, the author-editor began his professional life as a.newspaper reporter, working on the Cleveland News, Boston American, Cleveland Plain Dealer, and finally as Washington correspondent "for a feature service.

In the World War years, he was associate director and then director of information of the War Production Board; director of information for the Department of Commerce, and special assistant to the secretary of commerce. A dozen colleges and universities have bestowed honorary degrees upon him. In 1954, he received the Pujitzer Prize for history and the national book award for "A Stillness at Appomattox." Other books include "This Hallowed Ground," "Grant Moves South" and many other histories of the Civil War period. Catton now is senior editor of American Heritage. To see how this happened, go back one century to the presidential election of 1860.

An enormous issue disturbed America's democracy in that year. Like most issues human beings have to handle it was extremely complicated and its deeper implications were not always clear, but in the main it had to do with the existence in America" of the institution of cbatell slavery. There were of course other issues in that year, but in one way or another they aE seemed to revolve around this question of slavery. There was no unanimity of feeling, because the institution itself affected different people in such different ways. your 1100 Airliner in Finland Crashes, 25 Killed VAASA, Finland (AP)--All 25 persons aboard a Finnish airliner were killed early today when the DCS crashed into a wooded area north of the west coast port of Vaasa, Finnish police 'reported.

Kahlevi Tiainen, a farmer who rushed to the scene of the crash, said: "There was a sudden explosion in the air, and the plane became a giant torch which plunged straight down." In the cotton states of the Deep South slavery in 1860 was a going concern, immensely profitable to a small but powerful 'group, buttressed by all sorts of prejudices and habits of mind; an institution, furthermore, that was so deeply imbedded in the social and economic framework of the cotton South that no one could see how to get rid of it without causing a shattering convulsion. In. the more northerly tier of southern states slavery was slowly but visibly withering on the vine. It was still something everyone was. adjusted to, and people tended to approach it with their motion rather than with their minds, but it was not quite the same here as in the Deep South.

North of the Mason and Dixon line slavery had been discarded altogether, and more and more people were coming to feel that it ought to be abolished everywhere as speedily as possible. Sentiment was by no means united, however; there were rriany people in the North who disliked slavery but were perfectly willing to go along with it on the ground that it was really a problem for the Southerners. For a long "time this slavery problem had seemed too hot to handle, and consequently it had not been handled. Yet there was not necessarily anything to it, in the spring of 1860, that would force the different states of the Union to go to war with one another--nothing that would compe) 600,000 young men to die before the nation could come to a final decision about it. As a matter of fact, this issue was peripheral even in 1860.

The big argument centered on the question of slavery in the territories. Not even the Republicans argued that the federal government had any authority to limit or abolish the Institution in the separate states. The whole problem revolved around the territorial issue--and it was already becoming obvious that slavery was not going to put down lasting roots in the territories no matter what the federal government might do. Never did the American people get so worked up over a problem as remote as this. We can easily see that slavery could not have been uprooted overnight from the states where it was central to the social and political organization--not without an upset too fundamental for society to bear.

We can see just as clearly that in the very nature of things slavery was a doomed institution. It could not endure very much longer in the developing 19th century. Furthermore, in April of 18CO all of the machinery of the democracy was at hand, ready to be used. The Democratic partv was about to hold its presidential nominating convention; a little later, the Republican party was going to do the same. After the nominations there would be the campaign itself, la which, nominees, party workers and newspaper pundits could examine the issue In detail.

Then there would be an election and the people themselves would render some sort of verdict. Then there would a new president and a new be able to provide some sort of solutioft. The opportunity and the means to get the nation out of its tragic fix existed. Unfortunately, they were not used. In this one instance, democracy failed to- meet the test.

Instead of working for a' settlement it worked for a show-. within a year, it got, at' a' staggering price. The reasonsVlor- its failure are extremely complex, but one of the principal ones seems to have been, quite that it was just too much' Jtrpuble for the ordinary American; In 1860 to sit down and think things through. It was; easier just to feel --tp respond--to inspiring slogans, to turn emotions loose, to let anger fear, suspicion have their way, to settle down in a fixed position and-wait for the other fel- debate, to negotiate and at last to find some good middle ground disappeared.
