Some sincerely felt that this was a blow to improving the ability of the American people to meet the financial exigencies of illness. The reason the House so acted was well described by Congressman Williams of Misssissippi, who said: "I took my youngster out to the park about two months ago, and she saw them selling cotton candy, all pink and pretty and inviting. Naturally, she had to have some. That cotton candy was pretty. It tasted sweet and smelled sweet, but when she tried to bite into it she found nothing there. This bill is like that cotton candy, all air and no substance, but costly." The purpose of the reinsurance idea was to , extend the benefits without increasing the cost to those [who have the protection. No one knows how great the |ultimate cost to the taxpayers would be, if this were to be jmplished on any appreciable scale. But one thing seems Brtain—it would lead to strong government domination ;f the health insurance business, and to more and more government control, directly or indirectly, of medical practioe and facilities. That would be inevitable-—if government doea the paying, it doea the bossing too. The growth of health insurance in a relatively short period of time has been phenomenal. We have been given ever-improving coverage at a cost easily within the means of the majority of families. The Hcuse felt, and correctly, that there was no justification for government intervention in this field.. PARTNERS Medicine has a partner that few of us associate with the healing arts—the meat industry. That's because meat animals are the source of a long list of .extremely important medical products, and the meat industry has developed elborate facilities for saving them The best known of these products is undoubtedly sulin—the substance which has literally meant th^? diflference between life %nd death to vast numbers of simerers from diabetes. But there are others whose contribution to humanity is comparable. These include ACTH c sone, used in the treatment of arthritis, rheumatic itever and other dread diseases; liver extract, for treating pertiic ious anemia; bone marrow concentrate, used to alleviate various blood disorders; fibrin foam, which controls bl ing during operations; and dehydrocholic acid, used / in treating certain gall bladder disorders. There are many more. It is quite a job to save and proptrly process/ the animal by-products from which such medicines come. As an example, it takes the pancreas glands from 7,500 pigs or 1,500 cattle to make a single ounce of insulin. But our highly-developed meat industry does that job in stride, day in and day out, and millions of people are the beneficiaries. MINE INSPECTION IS A STATE FUNCTION Recommendations which will materially change the organizational makeup of the Bureau of Mines haVe been approved and made public by Secretary of the Interior McKay. One of the most important of these .has to do with inspection of coal mines. It is observed "that the ultimate effectiveness of the safety program is dependent upon the cooperation of Federal and State inspection services, mine employes, and management.' The Bureau will now concentrate major effort on education work, with the purpose of bringing all state inspection services up to the Bureau's general standards. Interior's news release says that as this is accomplished "the need for Federal coal mlno Inspection will decrease and eventually cease to exist. Any part of the appropriation, not required for inspection should be used for educational work as needed. It appears this change in activity which is under way to a email degree, can be accelerated at the present time. This statement U bated on the fact that although there are fewer coal mines, fewer coal miners and less coal production today than at any time since Federal inspection was first required, there are currently more Federal inspectors than at any previous time." The new policy certainly seems all to the good. Mine inspection is primarily a state function and responsibility. Federal inspection is a duplication of effort. It is simply common sense—to say nothing of the taxpayers' interest in the matter—that the Federal government withdraw from this activity at the earliest possible time. WITH A CAPITAL B . The belief that it is high time and then some that our system of railroad regulating be thoroughly overhauled seems to be almost universally held by those who have objectively examined the question. And the reason for it is that regulatory policy was conceived in a vanished era, and is based on obsolete concepts. Writing in the Philadephia Bulletin, Ralph W. Page expressed this view: "Our machinery for regulating the railroads was provided when they were a monopoly—Now this segment of our economy is no longer a monopoly— On the countrary, the railroads face the fiercest kind of competition." t The San Francisco News recently made this comment: "Regulation of the railroads does seem overly severe. A railroad must go through so much red tape to get permission for a rate change that by the time it is granted—if it is—the conditions that led to the original request may have changed radically—Our railroads must be strong, if the nation is to be strong." At about the ^ame time, the head of U. S. Steel observed that, among other things, the rails are being "regulated to death." These opinions are typical. And they arise from a concern for the public interest—not just the railroads' interest. Last year the railroads handled 56.0? per cent of the total commercial intercity freight traffic—more than the trucks, waterways, pipe lines and air lines combined. They are the backbone of transportation with a capital B. So anything which puts artificial barriers in the way of railroad progress hurts us all. OUR DEPENDENCY ON SHIPPING Hanson W. Baldwin, military editor of the New York Times, is one of the country's leading authorities in his field. In*- a recent column he endorsed President Eisenhowers request to Congress for a comparatively small und to aid our ailing merchant marine, and said: "Merchant shipping always has been for the United States a key element^ of Bound national defense and always will be so long as sea power forms one of the first lines of defense. This is more true today than'it was prior to World War II, despite the increased capabilities of the plane. "For the United States is now far more dependent on foreign sources for vital strategic raw materials than it was a decade or two ago. Uranium, oil, manganese, colum bium and scores of other minerals and products must be transported across the* seas to the United States if our war economy is to be maintained." Mr. Baldwin pointed out that our present merchant fleet is large in size. But the mere figures are misleading, for 80 per cent of the ships should be replaced within nine years. Yet, unless government takes the necessary action, merchant shipbuilding will come to a full stop in the relatively near future. Mr. Baldwin summed up the problem in these words: "The high cost of constructing and operating United States merchamvships is the major economic reason for the merchant marine's between-wara decline. There is no doubt, however, that the merchant marine is an essential element of our security policies as they are now envisaged." •Do What Yourself? Tho do-it-yourself movement that IJ sweeping the country 1* rapidly turning to fcrgit-ioale horns Improvement. In a recent survey of thousands of homeowneii, a lumber manufacturer determined that most bomeownerj want to make the following improvement* ID thla order it extra bathroom; 3) finished baevnent, and 3) addition of a room or rooms in the attic tor snore living New Gai Heat 4yttem No basement, no exposed radla-ton, no fuel storage space and no problem keeping oomfortably .

All unconscious of budget visions dancing In JefT'B head 1 barged in airily: "Well, our old washing machint gave its last whecxe today and Just up and died! We have to have a new one now." "Can't afford it. Out of the question." That was my answer . . . short and to the point. I had intended in my scheming little mind to appeal to Jeff's mechanical nature in describing the machine I had my heart set on, Whirlpool's latest automatic washer. I really could have waxed enthusiastic over the guide lite control panel, a marvel in mechanical perfection, At your finger-tip on a beautifully-colored, fully-ttluminated panel there are choices of water temperatures for whites and cottons, prints and colors, or delicate fabrics; water levels, and washing times. Automatically, a colored light reveals your, choices, then a colored indicator follows the washer operation' so you know what's going on every step of the way! "I can show you," I pitched in, "that the new washer I have in mind will cost only half as much to operate as our old machine." Jeff got on his "prove it" look, so I explained about the 6uds-miaer which cuts soap, water and fuel costs by saving clean, sudsy water for use from one load to the next. He really perked up his ear* at that so" I explained how much water could b« sand by whig •snail amounts Instead of full capacity for a Uttle load of socks or a dab of nylons. By now Jeff was off the defensive so I went on about the fully flexible washing cycle which enables you to stop, repeat, shorten, lengthen, or skip any part of the automatic operation. I wound up the campaign with information on the seven complete rinses, an interior ultra-violet lamp to help sanitize clothes, and a dual cycle tone which sounds when a wash load ia completed! Well, we have the new washer but after all my subtle conniving it's a little maddening to hear Jen 7 brag about "his" smart investment and how easy it is on the budget? But I'm biding my time waiting for Jeff to sell himself on the match* ing automatic dryer.
