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

Out State Pupil
Fees Are Set
A t the last meeting o f the High
School board held on August 6, lt
was voted that out of state high
school students be charged a tui
tion of (45 a semester.
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.
