A Form of Insurance
To Ihe Editor: The propa
ganda barrage of the Ameri
can Medical association in its
attempt to defeat the King
Anderson bill in Congress re
minds me of the old Spanish
proverb: "It is better that a
man die on his feet than that
he be compelled to live on his
knees."
Probably every state in the
Union has some form of in
digent relief program. In
many slates an attempt is
made to palm it off on the un
informed as a state pension.
In most stales it is admin
istered by an army of politi
cal appointees who have al
most a power of life or death
over the aged, the disabled
and the children who,
through no fault of their own.
are forced to crawl to one of
these appointees to beg for
the means of sustaining life.
The Kerr-Mills bill is noth
ing more than a provision
whereby Ihe Federal govern
ment offers help to the slate
on a malchine husis if r
when the state complies with
the requirements of the law,
and in no way removes the
stigma of indigency from
those who are compelled by
circumstance to heg for re
lief, lis provisions have hern
accepted by only about half
the slates and most nf tho
funds provided for have been
spent in Massachusetts, New
York and Michigan.

realistic since It has nothing

almost never done in private

That such health plans have
failed in other nations is be
lied by the fact that 59 na
tions, including all the major
nations of the world, have
adopted a nationalized health
plan of some kind, and none
have abandoned it.

The menace of foreign competition was dra
matized in early .June when the U.S. Navy ad
mitted having bought 3.500 tons of high-grade
armor plate for guided missile frigates from
West German mills. The price averaged 30 per
cent below American bids. Under the Huy Amer
ican Act U.S. firms receive an advantage of onlv
fi per cent (12 per cent for small business and
distressed areas) on open advertised bids.
THESE are some of the relationships President
Kennedy must have had in mind when he told
his news conference, April 11, that a steel price
rise would make it "more difficult for American
goods to compete in foreign markets, more dif
ficult to withstand competition from foreign im
ports, and thus more difficult to improve our bal

Gov.' Nelson A. Rockefeller
of New York was deploring
last week the effort to organ
ize a conservative splinter
party in his stale. Unless the
shoot-lhe-mooners obtair con
trol of that proposed splinter,
ils effect merely would be to
give New York's conservative
Republicans some leverage on
party policy.
What the conservative or
ganizers seek in New York
is the kind and degree of lev
erage on the Republican par
ty that the splinter Liberal
party imposes on the Demo

state. When the Democratic
and Liberal parties in New

their man is elected with the

That Liberal party is to the

It is a parly with an organiz

Washington Report

STATE OF BUSINESS
Washington To the usual
ifs and maybes of any con
gressional election year has
now been add
ed a large,
uncomfortable
query which
few politi
cians had
thought only
three months
ago could be
present this
time. What
Whit. will be the
stale of American business
come late October?
All hifalutin' lore lo the
contrary, congressional cam
paigns are usually fought nol
on great issues applying hor
izontally across the country.
On most occasions there is no
single, merged nationwide
campaign; rather there are
hundreds of little campaigns,
often quite separate in nature
and tone.
This year, however, there
is some prospect of something
approaching a national refer
endum, as distinguished from
the customary series of essen
tially local political encount
ers, on the general issue nf
the country's economic condi
tion.
flHIS is now a probability
because the economic state
of the union is not a divisible
thing. What Is true of it in
Kansas will always be roughly
true in New Jersey. The ques
tion thus becomes larger and
more complicated than wheth
er the voters like and trust
old Bill Jones better than old
Tom Johnson.
Bread-and-butter issues
when, rarely, they are appli
cable on an approximately
uniform and national scale
are intimate enough in one
sense. But they tend to deper
sonalize candidates in favor
of the issue itself.
Republican strategy for this
years congressional campaign
is plainly centering on two
assumptions of a national na
ture. The first is that econom
ic anxieties will be greater in
October than now. The second
is that "the Democrats," as a
kind of corporate body, can be
indicated as to blame.
sponse from among frustrated
or fearful voters for the vari
ous economic nostrums so
dear to them.
Obviously, the Democratic
center and right-wings will be
far better pleased if business
is better. For 98 per cent of
ine uemocratic center and
right wing are also basically
pro-business. This is a way of
saying thai whereas 98 per
cent of all the Republican par
ty is pro-business, 98 per cent
of a great majority of the
Democratic party is pro-business.
And it is another way of
saying that il is simply and
inherently easier for the Re
publicans to take if not
necessarily to win upon
something like an all-parly
stance on any Issue centered
around business.

The effect of the senate vote
is lo prohibit all U.S. aid lo
them other than by sending to
them surplus food from our
vast surplus stores.
The view of our stale de
partment is that in Yugoslavia
and Poland our job is to
WEAN THEM AWAY from
Moscow. It thinks we can do
that most effectively by help
ing them to stand on thpir
own feet without Moscow's
am.
HPHE state department Is con-
cerned also about a re
striction by the house ways
and means committee into
President Kennedy's bill. This
restriction would deny to Po
land and Yugoslavia the pre
ferential tariff treatment ac
corded to "friendly" countries
under the most favored na
tion principle. The house has
not yet taken up this bill, but
is expected to shortly.
In foreign aid and trade
matters, Yugoslavia has been
treated by this country as a
friendly nation, and Poland
has been given special concessions.
WHY these two proposals
one in Ihe house and the
other in the senate that seem
lo go contrary lo state foreign
aid policies?
This answer suggests-itself:
