Dr. Paul Magnuson, head of President Truman's controversial "Commission on the Health Needs of the Nation" whose formation has been sharply criticized by -YOU- Supply the IDEAS -WE- Supply the MATERIALS It's as easy as that.

OLD QUAKER DISTILLING COMPANY, I some members of the American Medical Association said in an ad dress prepared for the annual Scientific Assembly of the District of Columbia Medical Society: . IMPROVE HEALTH CONDITIONS "From the bottom of my heart I want to say this ... to every doctor in this country: It is our plain and simple duty as doctors to furnish leadership in every na tional, state and community effort to look into ways of improving health conditions in America. "If we abdicate this responsibil ity; if, like Marie Antoinette, we i say 'Let them eat cake,' then other (elements in our society will take over and we will find ourselves 1 under a distasteful system of medi cal care. . , Resist from current polcy I "If organized medicine is to retain its rightful place of esteem lin our society, it had better cease and desist at once from its current , policy of proclaiming that it alone can decide whether there are any I health problems in this country, land that it alone can decide what the average doctor should think about the pressing problems of the day." Magnuson did not define what he meant by "organized medicine." He made the statement in relat ing his reasons for accepting Pres ident Truman's appointment last November to head the commission under a directive "to make a criti cal study of the nation's total health requirements . . . and to FINE FOR STOCK TANKS , SAYS THE COW, THIS BOTTLED GAS, IT WORKS, AND HOW'' STRAIO vk,- riftl recommend courses of action to meet these needs." OPPOSED HEALTH INSURANCE "I told the President," Dr. Mag nuson said, "that I was unalter- ahlv nrtnncoH in rnmmllsorV na tional health insurance, and that I would never be a party to any scheme designed to further such a plan." President Truman has repeated ly advocated legislation that would provide such a national health plan under a federalized tax system. The AMA has spearheaded op position to such a system, declar ing it wmiM maan "snrtal I7IH meuicine. NOT COMMITTED ''The President said," continued Magnuson, "he was not necessarily committed to any one plan if any group could come up with a better series of proposals than the ones he advocated, he would be the first to support them if they would insure better health for all the people." Magnuson said the commission composed of representatives of medical, organized labor, farm, industrial, consumer, educational and other fields would make its report and recommendations in the near future. Climber Falls Down Mountain SEATTLE OB A 29-year-old Se attle architect tumbled 100 feet down a sheer rocky slope near the summit of 6,000-foot Lundin Peak in the Cascade Mountains Sunday afternoon. The climber, William Danielson, was believed to have been badly injured in the fall. No details were learned immediately. Members of the Mountain Rescue Safety Council of Seattle were summoned by a member of Dan ielson's party who hiked down for aid. Danielson was reportedly climb ing with three other members of the Washington Alpine Club in what was to be the final outing of the season. The bleak treacherous peak rises a quarter of a mile west of Sno qualmie Pass summit between Mount Snoqualmie and Red Moun tain.

PllfP mi m AT A HIS Unemployment Claims Decline Labor Secretary Reports U. S. Trend WASHINGTON I Secretary of Labor Tobin said Sunday unem ployment is probably at a postwar low. He based the estimate on the I number of workers claiming un j employment compensation benefits. I Tobin said reports from State j Employment Security . Agencies I showed continued benefit claims during the week ending Sept. 20 'were only 697,280. LOWEST SINCE WAR This compared with a total of 1,043,401 for the same week in August. I The Sept. 20 figure was the low est recorded since World War II. I Initial claims for benefits during the same week was 121,907, the ! lowest volume of initial claims re- ported for any week since Sep tember, 1947. j Tobin's statement said 35 mil j lion workers are covered by state unemployment insurance laws. They represent about two-thirds of, all non-farm Workers, but Tobin I said the unemployment insurance figures usually reflect the unem 'ployment trend in the entire labor I force. SEASONAL DEMANDS "Factors responsible for the de cline in unemployment insurance claims," Tobin said, "include sea sonal high demands for workers in food processing, logging and lumbering, a continued high level of employment in construction, and a gradual increase in defense em ployment. "The return to schools and col leges of students who work during the summer months has also helped to expand job opportunities and tighten labor supply." Tobin's statement said unem ployment insurance claims had been declining steadily since early August. 91-Year Old Man Dies On Announced Date PRINCETOWN, Eng.
