Churchill Savs
LabbrKegime
Wastes U.S. Aid
By Edward Curtis
LONDON, Jan. 28-(if-WInston
Churchill accused the labor gov-
eminent tonight of tquanderinf
American aid fundi and of crip
pling Britain'! enterprise, daring
and initiative.
The wartlike prime minister, ac
cepting the nomination as conser
vative candidatefor parliament in
the February 23 general election
for nearby Woodford, added:
"We now approach the crisis to
vhich every j. spendthrift comes
when he has used up everything
he can lay his hands on, and ev
erything he can beg or borrow and
must face the hard reaeankif of
facts." -Support
Blarshall Plan
Churchill said , the conservatives
supported the policy of Marshall
plan aid "to keep us going until
conditions of world ' trade were
restored."
- , But, he said, the labor govern
ment put "advancement of the doc
trines of socialism above all other
considerations." ' : M
"Dwinff to their follies and
wronrful action, a great part of
all the loans and gifts we have re
ceived from abroad has been spent
wnt unon re-eaulnment of OUT In
dustry, nor uuon the Import of
haste food-stuffs." Churchill Said
"instead, much of this previous aid
was Uvishlr frittered away In
American films and tobacco and in
large quantities of foods and fruits
which however desirable as In
dulgences, were not indespensable
to our recovery." j "
. Totals -Spending
Churchill ald the labor govern
ment in four and a half years spent
almost 17,000,000,000 i ($47,000,
600,000 at present devalued rate).
He said British taxation "is the
highest In the world, and even
stand higher today than In the
worst years of the war."
"With the Immense aid given us
by the U. S. and our dominions
from overseas, there was no rea
son why we should not have got
back by now to solvency, security
and Independence," said ChurchilL
New Health
Insurance Bill
Makes Debut
' WASHINGTON. Jan. 23-tfVA
new health Insurance bill designed
to provide low-cost protection for
families with $5,000 or less Income
a year will be introduced Monday
by Senator Hunt (D-wyoj.
v -: The Wyoming lawmaker. In an
flouncing his plans today, said the
bill "carries no compulsory fea
tures and thus does not. In any
- sense of the word, socialize the
health profession.". Hunt laid 78
per cent of the nation's zanuues
make ho more than $3,000, and so
would be eligible for coverage un
der his bilL
, A dentist himself, Hunt told a
reporter he hopes the measure will
get the support of both the Amer
ican Medical, association and the
American Dental association, as
, well as other professional groups.
Hunt will offer his bill as a sub
stitute for President Truman's na
tional health Insurance program.
That plan would cover about 120,-
' 000,000 Americans and would be
financed through a three per cent
payroll tax. solit between employ
ers and workers, which would
bring an estimated $8,000,000,000
i annually.
Under Hunt's smaller-scale plan
the actual amount and the method
of collection would be determined
by a national health Insurance
- board which the bill would create.
The. Insurance would cover me
dical, dental, hospitalization, home-
nursing and other services such as
laboratory and X-ray fees.
.Administration leaders in con
gress have said they do not plan
to press for action at this session
on health legislation.

Garland said the stock was
worth at least $152,000 and asked
a fourth interest in that amount.
Will Starts Dispute
The dispute stems from the will
of the late Samuel M. Garland,
who left a sizeable estate.
Young Garland's suit alleges:
The will expressed Samuel Gar
land's wish that the-bank tock
be retained in local hands. Young
Garland .and Kirkpatrick were
named co-executors, but since he
was living In Washington, D. C,
he left administrative matters up
to Kirkpatrick.
Asks Stock Sold
Kirkpatrick suggested that the
bank stock be sold to him (Kirk-
eitrlck) to keep it In local hands,
e represented It as worth about
$300 a share. The stock was sold
to Kirkpatrick at that price.
The suit asserts that Kirkpat
rick, then chairman of the bank's
board, knew Trans-America cor
poration and other banking firms
wanted to buy the stock and that
he knew its value was higher.
Three years later in 1949
Kirkpatrick sold the stock
to Trans - America corporation,
which now has control of the
bank. Garland said he had learn
ed the price was $1300 a share.
But he received no share of the
$1000 profit per share.
The suit said Kirkpatrick had
reached a settlement with Gar
land's three sisters, Isabella, Mil-
area ana jeanette, but he had re
ceived no portion of what the suit
called the "secret profit.'
