Farm Aid Three Die In <ty u b k in q to n On Independent m i a Car Crashes mQnufiòhcU Medicine by J a m e s P resto n Many Washington observers have interpreted the he arings by the special Senate committee Investigta- ing the old-age pension, situation as a prelude to strongly-backed pro posed legislation along the lines of the Townsend Plan. Sitting at the committee table when the Investigation began was Dr. Francis Townsend, founder of the Townsend Plan. Senator Downey, Democrat of California, made it cle ar at hte out set that his attitude was not of a judicial nature, anad many specta- ttcrs thought he demonstrated this by reading into the record a prepared speech nsslling the operation of the present Social Security Act. Lying dormant in the House is a bill (H.R. 1045) which if enacted would provide a minimum federal old-age pension of $30 a month for every citizen over 60. An attempt Is being made to bring it to the floor by means of a discharge petition. Signatures of 217 members of the House— a majority—would be re quired. Alreeady 170 members have signed. A tribute was paid to American industry when the government's leading tank expert, Lieutenant Colonel John K. Christmas, stated that tank production in the United States has reached in little more than a year a point which Germany with its much-vaunted regimented economy, attained in more than five years. He said the American tanks are suyerior to any being produced by Germany. The Nyssa Lions Club, Monday heard R. A. Tacke, laboratory tech nician make a strong plea for in dependent medicine. The doctors o f the United States lead the world in medical advancement and are justifiably opposed to state or so cialized medical practice, he said. A summary of his talk shows that the questioln of state or socialized medicine involves more than the fate of the doctor, the fate o fthe patient is also at stake, and perhaps the destiny of this country, in fact democracy Itself. State medicine represents a first step toward “ au- thorizatlion" government in this country. That if he were intent on changing the form of our society by a technique of infiltration, the breaking down of individualism, he wculd start with an attact on med ical care. He said that he would walk into the American homes and say to the residents, I ’ll bring you a doctor and you will not have to pay him. It was independent medicine. Tacke pointed out, that discovered vaccination, the first abdominal surgery, the use of digitalis in the treatment fcr heart disease and that has almost abolished diptheria and typhoid in the United States and that has put tuberculosis “ on the run" that standardized'and has er ected modern hospital with intri cate life saving devices. There is no motive under social ized medicine for a doctor, there is no competitive urge with other doc tors when under state or socialized medicine a doctor is under the pay and Jurisdiction o f a government bureau. The doctors practice would be purely mechanical, practiced by rote and rule. Proof that doctors in the United States surpass their state controlled fellow practitioners in forgoing countries was shown by Tacke when he cited figures to show that the United States shows a low er mortality rate in diptheria and tuberculosis than England or Ger many both of which have either state or socialized medicine. Doc- otrs in the United States are lead ing the world also in search for the ^cure of cancer he said. The medical profession believes that a system of compulsory sick ness insurance or state managed medicine does not offer the best methods by which the people with low incomes can be assisted to meet the cost of illness. Physicians be- . lieve that there is a greater need for the relief of the economic and I material needs of the under-privi- j liged, than for some scheme of so- cialized medicine, Tacke concluded. __________ ____________ Those who know the philosophies of the faction within the defense set-up in Washington see little pros pect of any immediate adoption of a unified program. They say that the battle for the American way of life is being fought behind the scenes in Washingtotn right now. The business and industrial lead ers who at the request of the gov ernment, have given up theeir pri vate jobs to become dollar-a-year men for the defense emergency, be lieve in individual Initiative. They have seen private enterprise produce the highest standard of living in the world, and they believe private en terprise adapted to the emergency, can ou-produce any other system when it comes to armaments too. T h e business baiters o f the crack down school, of whom there are many in important defense agency positions see this as a golden op portunity to make America over. Dominating the blueprint they want is an all-powerful centralized con- tro lin Washington of all business and industry, established now and to i continue in the tne future. ruture. T l* These differences are deep-seated and the Issues involved are vitally ( w important to the America which we are arming to defend. l a w w r»| i Tg/I 1 F ll^ fll W 111 IV1 f lf K Ida.

This action was deemed neces sary due to the fact that more and more families are availing them selves to the opportunity to pur chase small farm and home tracts in Idaho adjacent to Nyssa and the children are attending the Nyssa schools. Until recently the number of such students has remained at about 12 each year but with the ad ded burden of Increased numbers falling on this district together with the natural growth of the High School students fro mthe district it was deemed advisable at this time to set a fee. While the fee of (45 which is pay able in advance is not sufficient to meet the entire tuition ooet per pu pil the board felt that lt was suf ficient to m ee^ jh e present need.
