Frl., Pic. 1 949 1 Showdown Oil AM A Expects Struggle Against Socialized Medicine By 1950 WASHINGTON UP) Leaden In the battle of the American Medical association against what It calls "socialized medicine" say that the final wln-or-lose struggle may come In 1950. Members of the AMA have been Informed by . their top offi cials .that backers of the Truman proposal for federalized com pulsory health Insurance have given ground but only temporarily. They've been told that "skir mishes" have been won by the A. M. A. against ita "enemies" and that extensive public support has been rallies to tne A. w. a. s cause. But they've been placed on no tice that the war itself has not been won. President-elect Aimer L. Hen derson of Louisville told the doc tors at a clinical session here: "American medicine I strong er today than at any other time in Its history, bulwarked by the support of hundreds of other groups and millions of aroused citizens. But we would be fool ish, indeed, if we assumed that the final victory had been won." Declaring that In the 1949 ses sion of Congress, "the fight for compulsory health insurance was abandonee;, even though the White House itself had become a sounding board for the socializ es," Henderson said in a pre pared report: "The advocates of socialized -medicine, at the start of 1949; were in fully cry. American med icine was under violent attack from those who would destroy It, or reorganize it as a political arm of the government. "Medicine's critics, at the mo ment, are ianing uacK, waning for nubile vigilance to relax and hoping that American doc tors will tire of the battle and let their guard down. "But the battle of Armageddon the decisive struggle which may determine not only medi cine's fate but whether state so cialism Is to engulf all America is still ahead of us. "That fight may be lost or won In next year's Congress, or in the 1950 congressional elections." Henderson -made these state ments in a special message in cluded In a report of "progress" In the AMA's year-old "national education campaign to acquaint the American people with th dangers of compulsory health in surance."

". . .Our Pacific defense line should be Japan, Okinawa, Formosa, the Philippines and In donesia. But it all will fall apart if we give away the middle For mosa, the most strategic terri tory in Asia today."
