day morning compiled by C. G.
Rish, supervisor of registration,

majority of 103 over Wilson.

PENALIZING FREE CHOICE
The administration's national health insur-
ance program which is embodied in the Wag-
ner-Murray-Dingell bill now under considera-
tion by the senate education and labor com-
mittee, and which is being boosted strongly
by Senator Claude Pepper, is being brought
out into the open as an implement to social-
ize the medical profession. The plan aims to
tie up the nation with an inflexible state med-
ical system supported by enforced tax pay-
mtents and controlled by political patronage.
Concern has been expressed over the fate
of existing voluntary medical insurance plans -
if a copnpulsory federal system is adopted. On
the question of whether there would be a com-
pletely freechoice of doctors as promised by
the bill's proponents, it is pointed out that
while a patient would be free to turn to a doc-

from

Editor The Star:
This here. Mr. Porter A.fller who
is no}w a 'big snort in OPA and
,d-oin' his durndest to prove he's
indispens-able-he sez the U. S. A.
would go. to the dogs ifen his big
stick is whittled down, .by even a
shavin'. Sez it would cost the
,peeiple 2 Ibillion in higher prices
.per annum that's 2000 million.
But ydu know, there's one thing
you kin say fer the gen he's
the fust guy in a guvamint jo,b
who's sed that 2000 million really
amounts to ennything, ,and ain't
jest chaff.
;So I whittels me a point on my
pencil and ;puts .down the figgerb
on what it's now costin' us to keep
our 2 million extree folks on the
govt' payroll to watch out fer us,
and the anjw-er is 5 'billion per an-

would up and scuttle OPA and 100
or 1000 other outfits, and tear
down the buildings- where they
bin roosting so they ain't got no
place to sneak back into, we could
pay out, 2 billion in higher prices
and, on top of same, save 3 billion'

for of his own choosing, the patient could-
benefit under the health insurance plan only
if he chose a doctor who had agreed to work
under the government plan.
Such a condition as this would force every
doctor who is practicing medicine to eventu-
ally agree to work under the government
plan, because the average patient could not
afford to seek the services of a doctor in pri-
vate practice while paying taxes on compul-
sory health insurance. This would be like
paying a doctor bill twice.
The bill as it stands is using a devious way
to destroy the private practice of the medical
profession and it is forcing it to join a social-
ized program where political dictation will
guide its destiny.

WHEN I GRQW UP
A 16-year-old girl was asked to write a vo-
cational theme as an English assignment. Hei
response was succinct. "I intend to be a mag-
azine illustrator," she wrote, "but realizing
that this field is not open to as large a num-
ber of persons as other fields, I will learn to
be a typist as well. In this way I can make
my living typing and submit drawings to mag-
azines ini my spare time. But if worst comes
to worst I will get married instead."--The
Chicago Tribune.

States used to have reserved rights, but
they seem to have swapped them for reserved

All veteran's are advised- -of the

tions by local doctors are at your

* A VALUABLE

DOCUMENT
Your doctor's prescription is a valuable
document. More than a piece of paper
bearing queer words and odd characters,
it represents his years of training, expe-
rience and skill applied directly to your
individual case. As such, the prescription
deserves the care and accuracy exercised
by our registered pharmacists and the
purity and uniformity of the prescription

Fighter Squadron Is
Training At Tyndall

That stuttering of machinegun
fire out over St., Joseph's, Bay,
reminiscent of the days when Tyn-
diall Field was overflowing with
fighter pilots, is the 22nd, Squad-
ron of the 69th Fighter Group
from Brooks Field, San Antonio.
Texas, which has begun a 15-day
course bof gunnery training at Tyn-
dlall. The- squadron consists of 18
of the war-famed P-51 Mustangs
with 37 pilots and about 40 ground
personnel.
In order to hamper the local
fishing industry as little as pos-
sible, Tyndall Field authorities de-
cided, to curtail morning firing
arMd allow fishing craft in the dan-
ger area daily from 5 in the after-
noon until noon of the. following
day and on week-ends.
The danger area extends for 25
miles, out into the Gulf and runs
along the coast from West Pass to
San Blas Point.
