Labor Honored HEALTH BILL: There was little likelihood that It amount to anything in the long run since the bill seems foredoomed to failure but Oscar Ewing, federal security administrator, let it be known he will recommend some changes In the administration's medical - Insurance bill now before congress. EWING'S conviction that the measure as drawn could stand some revision came after he obtained a personal insight into the socialized health program as practiced in England and other European countries. Ewing said his recommendations were not completely formulated, but indicated there would be a provision in the bill to reduce the opportunity for collusion between patients and doctors to augment medical fees. The approach under consideration by the U.S. survey group is to require the patient to pay a part of the cost of the medical service not to a doctor, but to an insurance fund. , AS THE. U.S. BILL is now drafted, doctors would be compensated in any or all of three ways a per capita payment irrespective of service, a straight salary, or a fee basis. However, it might very well be much ado about nothing, as it seemed apparent neither the people of the U.S., the medical profession, or a sufficient number of congressmen are in the mood for installation of socialized medicine in the United States. HUNGARY: Off-Limi- ts The United with patience Communist-controlle- d irked and worn thin, placed Hungary off Americans traveling States, limits for abroad. The action was taken because the Hungarian government has paid no attention to U.S. demands that Robert A. Vogeler. an official of the International Telephone Telegranh corporation had not been released after his arrest on November 18. At that time, several other Americans were taken into custody by the Hungarians. The American note placing the travel-baon Americans to Hungary again demanded Vogeler's release and reserved the right to claim damages for any injuries he may have suffered. Although the U.S. protest was directed only to the Vogeler case, a state department spokesman said that it applied also to the arrest of Israel Jacobsen. head of the American Joint distribution committee's Hungarian office. It was a strong note and indi- cted the temper of the U.S. state department, but its effect could be determined only in the release or further detention of Vogeler and his imprisoned n fellow-American- s.

THE RUSSIANS were in their usually rare form, using the occasion to hurl a thunderous demand for peace at the world. In order to achieve it, they would set up, they said, annual awards for those doing the most to preserve peace and to confound the "war That category inmongerers." cluded, 'of course, all nations and governments out of sympathy with the Soviet aim of expansion. Almost fantastic was the extent to which the went in adulation of Stalin. Thou-- ' sands of parcels and crates, train-load- s "f merchandise, whole exposition halls of trinkets and pictures, factories and socks, books, and horses, wine and toys, delicacies and cars were tunneled toward Moscow from the Elbe to China, from the Arctic to the Black sea.

Eastern Germany alone collected 70 freight cars of gifts one for each year as a sort of whimsical reparations. The western world paid little g heed to the Soviet over a desire for peace and, so far as the press recorded, England was the only nation among the. North Atlantic pact signatories to send congratulations ' to Stalin on his birthday. But for the Russians, themselves, to most of whom Stalin is more legendary than real, the thrilling, dramatic high spot of the anniversary celebration came in Moscow when Stalin, himself, walked out on a stage to let the people see him. Soviet-dominate- Stalin-worshippe- chest-beatin- TAXATION: A Warning It would be charged to politics and an effort to smear the "Fair Deal" program, but house GOP leader Joseph W. Martin struck a logical note when he warned that a tax increase in 1950 might throw the nation into an economic "tail-spin- " and cost millions of workers their jobs. MARTIN took a jibe at President Truman's indication that some excise taxes might be lowered by declaring: "It appears Mr. Truman is about to fly a kite with on It." to previous state- tail a That referred ments by administration leaders that they knew of no way to avoid a deficit without higher taxes. THE PRESIDENT'S PROPOSAL was referred to as a "package deal" which Martin said congress would reject. The plan would suggest lopping 600 million dollars off the excise levies, but would call for a multi-billio- n dollar increase in income taxes. Martin made it clear that he would go along on the excise tax slash, but that he and fellow Republicans would do everything possible to prevent any increase in income taxes. THE REPUBLICAN LEADER was on good tactical ground for the simple reason that 1950 is a congressioanal election year and many Democrats would feel compelled to go along with the GOP in an anti-ta- x hike fight. Has Everything INDONESIA: Uneasy Freedom The United States of Indonesia was an established fact. It had become formally free after 300 years of Dutch rule. But the birth of freedom was no routine, casual affair. Just like the the case with most republics, birthday was grim and turbulent. Even as freedom was declared, the new nation deployed troops and maintained a state of siege in wide areas to prevent anticipated disturbances. IT WAS EXPECTED that Coms would munists and some attempt to make trouble for the new republic and to embarrass it by creating disorders. Hundreds of troops patrolled the streets of Batavia and machine-gu- n posts were set up at Intersections. Dutch troops throughout the country were confined to barracks for two davs to prevent clashes. A UNITED NATIONS commission sot a truce in the islands which ended the bloody fighting between the Indonesians andn Dutch, and also supported a roiwidtable conference at the Hague last fall which led to the granting of Indonesian independence.

Most schoolboys would react with surprise if told that gravity is still one of the most puzzling of natural forces. They would declare that Sir Isaac Newton had settled all that when, after watching the falling apple, he stated a theory that may be by explaining it as a fact that "everything that goes up must come down." However, Albert Einstein, aired, unpretentious scientist, ranked as among the greatest In the world, and a "key figure in the of atomic power, development wasn't content to leave it at that. EINSTEIN, after a lifetime of work, had made a great discovery a discovery he believes will explain the mystery of gravitation. One of the greatest of the scientific enigmas, gravitation keeps humans from floating off the earth, keeps the earth and other planets spinning always in the same path around the sun. According to the new Einstein theory, which was announced by the Princeton university press, all the basic physical laws would be explained in terms of gravitation. It is an attempt to describe in one law everything that goes on everywhere from the inside of one atom to the limits of the universe. Einstein has been trying to do that for 30 years. If Einstein is right, he may hold the key that will unlock all the secrets of the universe. LIKE RELATIVITY, the new theory is expressed in mathematics. The heart of the explanation of gravity is four equations, given in letters or symbols, not numerals. There was no explanation of. what the symbols mean, but no physicists were ready yet to try to talk publicly about the new theory. It still had to be tested to see whether it covers all the known laws or observations about the way matter and energy and gravitation behave. the navy's research section for use at the Voufht aircraft company plant in Dallas.

To encourage his love of wild life, she gave him a silver medallion of St. Francis of Assisi, patron saint of birds and beasts, and hung it around his neck on a thin gold chain. "I've heard it said that when people die their souls enter other living things, sometimes an animal," she told him. A FEW MONTHS before the boy's ninth birthday, his father found a new-bor- n fawn in the forest and presented it to his son. The lad it named it Francois, bottle-fe- d until the shakiness went out of its legs, and trained it until it followed him around like a puppy.

The youngster said nothing, but later asked his mother what he should do. "You must go with your father," said Emilie. "You told me that when people die their - souls go into animals," said the boy. "Wouldn't it be like killing a person?" "Your father thinks differently." "I won't shoot to hit anything," said the lad. Pierre, who had been drinking on the porch, overheard the conversation. Addressing himself to his son, he said, "There will be no more women's talk. You will become a man and a hunter like your father. Tomorrow we go to the woods, but your first lesson will be tonight. Take your rifle and shoot the fawn." Terrified, the boy nodded and went to the barn. He prodded the fawn with a stick and tried to frighten it into the forest, but the pet, thinking it was a new game, took a few playful leaps and then frisked back for more sport. Finally, the boy placed the medallion of St. Francis around the fawn's neck. It needed divine protection more than he. a HALF AN HOUR later, Pierre back on the porch, was roused from Fiction I GRACE his rum by a shot and walked out to the barn, certain that the boy, like a true Montevilain, had obeyed his order. Instead, on the earth floor he found his son's body, blood oozing through the shirt, while the fawn, the medallion dangling from its neck, stood near by. Crazed, Pierre picked up the rifle and pumped the remaining bullets into the animal's heart. Then A CURIOUS TWIST mean?" "Anthony Page is a fiction writer. His real name is Edward Thurston. Recently a distant uncle died and left him a small I fortune $25,000 Minute to be exact. Page consulted me FICtl0n about investments. I advised him not to invest in anything while the market was in its present unstable condition. He agreed, and decided to deposit the money in our bank until things looked better. "He came In early Monday morning and made the deposit, decided to use his real name of Edward Thurston at the last moment On Wednesday, a check for $5,000, signed by Edward Thurston, was presented and cashed by one of our tellers. "I have questioned Thurston. . lie says he left for Chicago directly after depositing the money, and swears be told no one about his decision to nse his real name. He had signed no checks against his account! Inspector Kent Clifford reflectively lighted a cigar. "You say that Thurston made his deposit early on Monday morning?" "As far as I can find out," the president offered, "there were only two men in the bank while Thurston was here." He handed the officer a slip of paper. "Here are their names and addresses. Both are well known to all of us, men of high repute." 3 CALX, was on a man THE FIRSTSimons in the suburban Mrs. Simons answered their knock. "Harry is away. Is there anything I can do?" Following previous Instructions from Clifford, Jackson said: "We made a mistake In his monthly statement last week. Do yon happen to know " whether he has it handy?" "It may be on his desk. Will you come inside?" They followed her into the house. There was a small den off the living room containing a desk. Mrs. Simons began opening drawers and peering into them. For a moment Inspector Clifford stood idly by. Then suddenly he stepped forward and snatched something from one of the drawers. Before the startled eyes of Mrs. Simons and the astonished gaze of President Jackson, he strode over to a window, studied the thing. "Simon's our man," he said. "This proves it. Now" He broke off as the front door opened and closed. town of Sharonfield. As Clifford finished speaking, Simons, a tall spare man, appeared in the doorway, stopped and looked about in bewilderment. "I'm Inspector Clifford of police headquarters," ' the officer said, stepping forward. "Simons, I arrest you for forging Edward Thurston's name to a check for $5,000." Simons' eyes grew wide. The color drained from his cheeks. For a moment he stared as though struck, then .impulsively turned and bolted.. Anticipating the move, Inspector Clifford leaped forward. Bis fingers caught hold of the tall man's collar, and yanked him backward. "Quite simple when explained," Clifford was raying later. "Simons probably needed money. He was in the bank when Page was making his deposit, and picked up the blotter Page had used when signing his name. It was a new blotter, and the imprint therefore was definitely easy to copy for forgery purposes." ACROSS 1. Burrowing animal 5. Mother 9. River (Eur.) 10. City (Rum.) 11. Snake 12.
