votes, we arc unalterably opposed
to compulsory health Insurance or
any other legislation which tends
to regiment our population and so
cialize our government.”
The sender fills in the blank
with the number of votes In his
family. Sen. Claude Pepper of
Florida, a leading sponsor of
health Insurance, reports he
has received hundreds of the
stereotyped cards. Some also
have been mailed to President
Truman.
One sender, whose wife recently
underwent an operation, wrote Pep
per that he was ‘‘compelled’’ by
the doctor performing the operation
to fill out and sign the card. An
other reported that he feared he
would “antagonize my doctor and
nurse" if he didn't comply with
their wishes.
Old Soldiers
Five hundred forgotten soldiers,
who survived past wars but are
victims of old age, are waiting to
get into the National Soldiers'
Home at Washington. D.C.
But there's no room.
Those on the inside would like
to make room by building new
quarters.
They have plenty of
money—33 million dollars, every
cent contributed through the years
by enlisted men. But the money is
held in trust by the treasury de
partment, and the ex-soldiers can't
get it out without an act of con
gress.
Though this money belongs to the
soldiers and not the taxpayers, the
buget bureau has turned down a
request to release 16 million 700,000
dollars to expand the soldiers'
home.
The bureau’s recommenda
tion has Influenced eongress to
refuse use of the funds—despite
the fact that the soldiers* home
hasn’t been expanded since
1911.
Meanwhile, the waiting list of
aged, lonely ex-soldiers is growing
longer.
