Socialized Medicine Subject Of
Debate At Toastmistress Club
A seven-minute debate on the
topic, "Socialized Medicine," was
featured at the Tuesday night
meelini! of the Roseburg Toast
mistress club.
Mrs. E. L. Tauscher represent
ed the pro side of the question
and Mis Marion Davis led op
position remarks. Mi s. Phil Hartli
was toastmistress for the
evening.
Mrs. Tauscher declared social
ized medicine was desirable In
the U. S. because it would result
in proper distribution of doc
tors and hospitals and, without
fees to worry about, doctors
would be able to Rive better ser
vice. Wins Kansas as an example
of socialized medicine at work,
Mrs. Tauscher said in that stall-,
there Is adequate mediral care
for all and patients still enjoy
the HkM to choose their own doc
tor. She said such a setup would
not make it necessary lor people
to put off needed medical care
because they have not been able
to afford, it.
Opiwsing these arguments,
Miss Davis listed six reasons why
socialized midicine should not
come to this country.
She cited our present health
standards highest In the world
which have been attained under
the present voluntary system. It
was her claim that the voluntary
health plan now In operation is
highly efficient" and declared
it should not be changed. Miss
Davis also pointed to recent stud
ies made hy a neutral board of
experts which indicated the cost
of installing and maintaining a
socialized medical setup is pro
hibitive. Other Needs Paramount
Other points in her talk Includ
ed the idea that other problems
are more Important at this time,
such as more adequate housing
and solving communities' sewage
disposal problems to raise the
public health level. She also
pointed out danger of destroy
ing present doctor and patient
relations and the idea that people
may not take advantage of ser
vices available under the social
ized system.
Preceding the debate, Mrs. Ju
lienne Parson gave as her con
tribution to the evening a five
minute autobiography, Mrs. Ben
jamin Dufresne, in charge of
lablit topics, had each member
present give one-minute views on
the subject of socialized medi
cine. Clitic for the evening was Mia.
Harrison Winston and Mrs. Opal
Tuttle acted as mediator.
The group discussed plans for
the regional council meeting of
Toaslmistresses, to be held In
Kugene Oct. 30. Several local
members Indicated they would
attend the affair.
Mrs. Dallen Jones and Mrs. Don
Dimirk will he principal speak
ers for the next meeting of the
! organization, to he held Oct.

W. Va., were deadlocked.
He said that the union negotia
ort had not yet had opportunity
to present their specific demands
to the oerators because of the
steel-influenced Interests. He said
these interests dominated both ne
gotiations and had set up "road
blocks."
Lewis minimized the use of
fact-finding boards of any kind to
settle his dispute and threw nis
support behind a recent statement
of AKL President William Green
opposing the fixing of wage rates
or working conditions Dy such
boards.
Government Efforts To End
Coal Strike Are Continuing
Government prodded negotia
tions to end the 25-day-old coal
strike continued today despite
another blunt refusal from the
United Mine Workers to renew
their contract for two years.
UMW Vice President Thomas
Kennedy says the union Is willing
to "continue In these meetings un
til we get a contract."
The government's conciliation
director, Cyrus S. Ching. hoped
to get leaders of the CTO-United
Steelworkers union and Industry
officials back at the bargaining
table.
The two strikes have made Idle
nearly 900.000 workers and con
tinuation of the work stoppages
threatens to Idle additional thou
sands. Steel Faces Major Threat
The biggest threat appears to
be the fabricating steel industry
the plants that use steel for hun
dreds of aricles. Some 500.000
USW workers are employed in
the fabricating plants and Mur
ray wants free pensions and in
surance for them as well as for
the 454,000 men on strike.
Their contracts begin expiring
Saturday. About a dozen firms,
which employ a few thousand
workers, have signed new con
tracts with the union, agreeing
to pay the 10-cent hourly package
recommended by the presidential
fact-finding board.
In a radio speech last night,
Phillip Murray urged the public
to support the steel strike because
"our cause is Just and righteous."
He said the steel workers "cannot
and will not permit any wage cut,
whether by the false principle of
contributory pensions and insur
ance or otherwise." The big steel
companies have said they will
pay toward a pension Insurance
program but only if the workers
also contribute.
In other labor developments:
No settlement was reached in
negotiations In Chicago over a
rail union demand for a third
crew member on multiple unit
dlesel engines. No date was set
for further meetings.
The Harvester council of the
CIO United Farm Kquipment
workers pledged support to a pro
posed merger of the union and
the CIO United Electrical Work
ers. The council claims to repre
sent 40,000 workers, a majority
of U. E. membership In 11 Inter
national jiarvester plants.
Slaying Admitted
By Tampa Youth
TAMPA, Fla, Oct. 13..m
Sheriff Hugh Culbreath said
Thursday that a Tampa vouth,
charged with a hatchet slaying
here, has admitted killing a Holly
wood bit player more than a year
ago.
The sheriff quoted 17-year-old
Kay Robinson Deer as saying that
he killed Henry Schwab of Holly
wood, Calif., on Sept. 16, 1948.
Schwab's body was found 10 days
later.
Culbreath said robbery was the
motive of that slaying as well as
the killing of a 22-vear-old Bowl
ing Green. Fla., trucker here yes
terday. Derr and a companion,
Roy Alvin Mahry. 19, were ar
rested after William Clemonds
died at a hospital of hatchet
wounds.
Culbreath said Derr was on
furlough from the armv at the
time of the Hollywood killing.
Schwab's semi-nude, brutally
beaten body was found In his
blood stained apartment.
The first radio telppranh tnrv.
ice over w ater was set up In 1912
between San Francisco and Honolulu.

Senate Turns Down
Nomination Of Olds
(Continued from Page One)
the president would make another
nomination for Olds' post.
Rather dispiritedly. Ross re
plied, "I suppose so; the Job has
to be filled."
The president went all-out to
win approval for Olds even after
the Senate commerce committee
had voted, 10 to 2, against him.
He made appeals directly to Con
gress. Then he set the demo
cratical national committee to
raking the grass roots in support
of the nominee.
New Yol k's two republican sen
ators were among those who
spoke against Olds last night.
Olds Is a native of Rochester.
Senators Humphrey ID-Minn)
and Aiken (R-Vti defended Olds.
Humphrey said the only argu
ment against him Is that "he has
some kind of fishy background '
and that he had "the ,-uts to
stand up in the 1920s and say he
didn't like the plundering of the
stock market."
Early In the session, a Senate
committee bottled up Mr. Tru
man's nomination of former Gov.
Mon Wallgren of Washington to
be chairman of the National Se
curity Resources board. The Presi
dent finally withdrew Wallgren s
name.
The Senate also rejected the
nomination of Carl A. Ilgenfrilz
to be chairman of the munitions
hoard because Ilgenfiitz, a steel
company executive, had accepted
the appointment only on condi
tion that he might keep his pri
vate salary.

other phases in addition to DDT
spraving, can be Justified in ie

The letter also Indicated that a
sound program of general sanita

the spread of polio. The program
would include protection of food

sewage, regulation of swimming
pools and bathing places, and ad

as well as insect control.
According to Dr. Osgood, two
general methods of DDT applica

been used In Oregon airplane
dusting with DDT and aerosol
