VOLUNTARY HEALTH INSURANCE
BILL PROPOSED BY 5 SENATORS
WASHINGTON, March 30.—(AP)—Five senators today offered a
new ‘“voluntary heaith insurance bill” intended to make hospital and
medical care available to all persons. .
Senator Hill (D.-Ala.), ore of the sponsors, said the new plan,
based on state and local contrels, is a substitute for what he called
“compulsory system” advocated by President Truman and some mem-
bers o 1 CONgress.
The bill calls for the use of fed
eral funds “to assist the states to
survey, coordinate, supplement
and strengthen their existing
health resources.”
Besides Hill, the measure is
backed by Senators O’Conor (D.-
Md.), Withers (D.-Ky.), Aiken (R~
Vt.) and Morse (K.-Ore.).
The Alabama Senator said the
bill is patterned on the present
federal law for assisting states and
regions in building hospitals. That
act was sponsored in 1944 by Hill
and Associate Justice Burton of
the Supreme Court, then a Re-~
publican Senator from-Ohio. «
Hill said states and communi
ties now are building 700 hospi
tals under that plan and the vol
untary health insurance bill “will
perform the same service for fi
nancing hospital and medical
care.”
Present System o
“We believe that the present
system of medical care has been
too valuable, too effective and too
useful through the years, to throw
it aside for = new system which
might not work,” Hill told a re
porter, adding:
“A compulsory system of health
insurance carries with it the dan
ger of uprooting and destroying
the entire system of medical prac
tice in this country.”
The new bill, Hill said, would
be aimed at stimulating present
systems of insured or pre-paid
medical care. The federal gov
ernment would help states pay
costs where individuals were un
able to do so.
Three sources helped draw up
the new plan, Hill said: Dr. Gilson
Colby Engel, president of the
Pennsylvania State Medical So
ciety; Dr. Paul Magnuson, chief
medical direcwor of the Veterans
Administration, and the American
Hospital Association.
Main Points
This is what the bill provides:
1. Persons unable to pay would
get medical and hospital care
through government - supported
membership in non-profit, pre
paid health insurance programs.
“2. Such persons would be is
sued service cards entitling them
to the same type and quality of
hospital and medical services pro

be identified as recipients of gov

“3. The state health insurance
agency would reimburse the health
insurance plan for the full cost of
hospital and medical core provided
under the plan, plus.a reasonable
administrative expense. The state
may collect partial payment based
on ability to pay from persons un
able to pay {full subscription

Charges Cited
“4, When _any person enroiled
in a prepayment plan becomes un
employed, his health insurance
subseription charges would be paid
by the state agency for the same
period that unemployment com

“5. Prepaid health insurance
coverage would be broadened by

A GRAND SLAM FOR SCIENCE
Bridge Players Hail Greaseless
Potato Chips And Lacquered Nuts
MEMPHIS, Tenn., March 30 —
(AP)—Science made a grand slam
for the bridge hostess today.
1t announced how to serve salt
ed nuts, and even potato chips, at
the bridge table so the guests won’t
get the cards and themselves all
greasy.
The scientists simply lacquered
the nuts with a salty lacquer, in
stead of dipping them in oil. This
lacquer is made from pectin, found
in fruit.
Pectin contains both salt and
oil but dries into a brittle coating.
It gives the nut a slick, attractive
surface. And it comes in all colors
to match the hostess’ finger nails
or her eyes.
The new nuts were passed
around by scientists of the Bureau
of Chemistry, U. S. Department of
Agriculture, who thought up the

“That’s the man,” they said.

also negroes, off to jail where they
were held in c¢onnection with a
holdup. Then he explained:
It was the usual lineup proce

Cowan said Taxi Driver D. M.

Federal Crackdown On
Rent Black Mailizets Seen
Truman Expected To Sign
15-Month Measure Quickly
WASHINGTON, March 30.—(AP)—Capitol Hill heard predictions
today that the new reni control extender will sel off a government
crackdown on a rent “blackmarket.”
President Truman was expected to sign, in plenty of time, the “home
rule” legislation that continues rent‘ 9onirois for another i 35 monihs.
Just two days before the pres
ent controls are set to die at mid
night - Thursday, Congress late
yesterday tossed the new com
promise bill to the White House
by overwhelming votes. Then:
1. Rep. Patman (D-Tex) said it
will mean a “rollback of illegal
rents,” as well as increased rents.
on some properties where land
lords are not now showing a
profit. He said it will put an end
to the rent “blackmarket” - that
Tighe Woods, rent administrator,
reported w pe growing through
out the country.
Increase Slight
2. House Democraiic Leader
McCormick (Mass) said in his
opinion there won't be any big in
crease in rent for anyone, and
most rents probably won’t be in
creased at all. . ,
3. Paul V. Betters, executive
director of the U. S. Conference
of Mayors, predicted no major
city will drop rent controls under
the “home rule” provisions of the
bill, that allows states or locali
ties to throw off the controls.
(Governor Thomas E. Dewey of
'New York has said he will not ap
prove residential rent decontrol in
that state without‘“clearest proof
that controls are neither necessary
nor desirable.”)
Truman Elated
Mr. Truman was described by
friends who talked to him as
“elated” over the legislation, al
though it falls short of what he
asked. They said he regards it as
an administration victory, and is
sure to sign it. Rent controls are
in force on 14,350,000 dwelling
places. Mr. Truman wanted a two
year extension.
The Senate approved the bill
78 to 11 and the House stamped on
a 262 to 143 vote, after weeks ol

Total Eclipse
Of Moon To Be
Seen April 12
NEW YORK, N. Y, — On April
12th for the first time in three
years, North and South Americans
will see a total eclipse of the moon
at 8:32"p. m. Eastern Standard
Time, reports the April issue of
Science Illustrated magazine.
The eclipse occurs simultane
ously throughout the hemisphere,
but it will not be visible from the
west coast at the beginning be
cause it will still be daylight.
From 9:28 to 11:54 p. m. E. S. T,,
the moon will be in total Shadow.
Moon eclipses can happen only
when the moon is full; eclipses of
the sun only when the meon is

of a new method of processing po
tatoes.
First, part of the moisture is re
moved from the pottato. Then it
is frozen. When it is sliced and
cooked, it absorbs less grease.
This hits the jackpot in at least
three ways: -
1. With part of the moisture
removed, the potatoes weigh less.
Shipping charges are reduced.
2. The frozen potatoes keep
much better than unfrozen. The
quality will be as good in the
spring as it is a few days after the
fall harvest.
3. It takes less grease to make
chips of these potatoes. The
grease is a costly item in chip
manufacture—so the manufacturer
will save money.

Sponsors called the legislation
a “wvictory” for the tenant, while
at the same time assuring “a
fair net operating income” for
landlords. But Senator Bricker
(R-Ohio) asked where was the
relief for the landlord, saying the
new bill leaves the rent adminis
trator power to de as he pleases.
A statement from the rent ad
ministration said the new bill
“would provide a much more
equitable method of adjusting
rents than the one under existing
law,” adding: “It would treat all
landlords equitably and would
grant relief to those landlords who
need it most because they are in
the worst operating position.”
“Peace” Tour Falters;
Stripped Of Red Stars
NEWARK, N. J., March 30.—(AP)—Stripped of its Russian star at
tractions by State Department action, a projected nationwide tour of
“World Peace Conference” delegates faltered today.
The State Department ruling in effect told 18 iron curtain visitors to
go home, now that they have completed their mission to last week
end’s cultural and scientific conference for world peace in New York
City.
Despite the decision, Author
Millard Lampell said last night
“this tour will go on.” Lampell
acted as master of ceremonies at
the first of the proposed series of
“no more war” rallies here. Other
speakers indicated the tour will
be carried out.
A proposed itinerary listed New
Haven, Philadelphia, Baltimore,
De;gpit, St. Louis, Denver, and
Los Angeles. ;
,@9 State Department said the
0. S."visas of the Cormnmunist del
egates were good only for the
New York meeting.
A conference spokesman in New
York said a telegram had been
sent to Secretary of State Dean
Acheson asking him to revoke the
order.
The Department has maintained
the New York gathering was’ de
signed as a sounding board for
Communist proganda—a charge
denied by the sponsors. ,
The council of the Arts, sci
ences and professions, sponsors of
the tour, hastily reshuffled last
night’s program. The order bann
ing the Communists was issued
less than 12 hours before the ral
ly began.
Still on the playbill were dele
gates from countries outside the
Soviet sphere of influence—Great
Britain, Cuba, and French West
Africa.
But gone from the list was the
rally’s heralded star feature —
Russian Composer Dmitri Shosta
kovich.
The audience of some 3,000 per
sons was told by the government
action. The house lights were dim
med. Then a single spot light
shone on the empty piano.
About 40 pickets marched in
orderly lines outside the auditor
ium. They represented the Cath
olic war veterans and other vete
rans groups who protested the
rally as Communist inspired.

Regents May
Bar llst, 2nd
Year Coeds
ATLANTA, March 80—(AP)—
Georgia’s University system re
gents were toying gingerly today
with the idea of barring first and
second year coeds from the Uni
versity at Athens as an economy
measure. 4
The suggestion came from Re
gent Hughes Spalding after the
regents accepted the biggest bud
get cutback in 10 years.
Spalding asked the regents to
consider the removal of freshman
and sophomore coeds from Athens
and consolidation of teacher train
ing. .
The regents cut the system’s
budget from $17,120,218 this year
to $14,894,000 to reduce operating
expenses, thus offsetting the loss
of fees from ex-GI students.
Scholarships were abandoned for
the next year, 111 teachers drop
ped, some non-teaching services
curtailed and the Agriculture De
partment re-organized.
The Spalding suggestion was
part of the regents’ considering of
ways and means of carrying out
revisions in the 18-unit system.

Army Takes Over
Svria Government
BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Brigadier Hosny El Zaim, commander of the Syrian army, took over
the government of Syria today.
“We have been compelled to undertake this change in the regime
because of attacks against the army inside as well as outside the House
of Representatives, which gave way to misrepresentation of the Syrian
army and ill treatment of its officers,” El Zaim said at Damascus.
“Another reason for it is the
peoplé’s discontent with the pre
sent rule and the abuse from
personalities handling it. |
“Our movement is purely local
and has no foreign implication
whatsoever, and we are not rule
seekers or supporters of dictatorial
rule. As soon as a new cabinet:is
formed, which we are seeking at
present wih tthe advice of the
Speaker of the House, Faris Bey
El Khouri, we shall transfer the
power to them.”
The commander cabled the
United Nations that the Syrian
Army took its action to put an end
to internal anarchy. It confirmed
Syria’s adherence to her former
agreements and respect for dem
ocracy.
December Riots
Rioting flared in Syria last De
cember, reflecting popular resent
ment over the government’s hand
ling of the Palestine war with
Israel. The people, chagrined at
Arab reverses, felt their leadefs
had bungled.
The December flareup resulted
in the resignation of Premier Ja
mil Mardam Bey and his cabinet.
Mardam Bey himself fled the
country.
A successor cabinet under Pre
mier Khaled Bey Azem since has
agreed to negotiate with Israel in
efforts to work out an armistice
agreement.
There was no word what hap
pened to Azem’s regime following
the coup. :
A Rhodes dispatch said yester
day two emissaries of Dr. Ralph J.
Bunche, acting United Nations
mediator, were leaving for Damas
cus to lay groundwork for armis
tice negotiations between Syria
and Israel.
Gen. Charles de Gaulle has told
newsmen in Paris he wants the
United States to arm France at
nnce as the principal defender of
Western Europe under the North
Atlantic Alliance.
Allied Strategy
De Gaulle declared the allied
strategy designates the Rhine as
the first line of defense against
attack from the east, but said that
line will be manned principally by
Frenchmen.
Foreign ministers of four West
ern European nations arrived in
New Vaork today aboard the Queen
Mary en route to Washington for
the signing of the Atlantic pact
next week. Countries represented
by the group are Britain, Belgium,
Holland and Luxembourg.
