IS" Labor Honored HEALTH BILL: Changes Planned There was little likelihood that It would amount to anything In the long run- - since the bill seems foredoomed to failure but Oscar Fwinu, federal security administrator. let it be known he will recommend some changes In the adinsurance ministration's medical bill now before congress. EWINGS conviction that the measure as drawn could stand some revision came after he obtained a personal insight Into the socialized health prorram 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 npiKirtunity for collusion between patients nnd doctors to augment medical foci. The approach under consideration bv the II 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 anv or nil 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 apnarent 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: OflLim-t- s The United States, Irked and patience worn thin, placed Communist-controlleHungary off limits for Americans traveling 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 tr Telegranh corporation . had not b?en released after his, arrest ntk.1 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 Vogelers re'ease and reserved the right to claim damages for any injuries he may have suffered. Abhouph the U.S. protest was directed only to the Vogeler case, a state department spokesman said that it applied also to the ar-- 1 rest of Israel Jacobsen, head of the American Joint distribution committees Hungarian office. It was a strong note and indi-- 1 evted the temper of the U.S. state but its effect could be determined only in the release or further detention of Vogeler and his imprisoned with d n fellow-American- cnpin: Ptv fellow Cupid was a very busy fellow Indeed as the holiday season came and went. And most of his activity was centered in the upper brackets of U S. celebrities. Hardiv had he sat down to rest n after hringing W. Barkley and Mrs. Hadley together at the altar, when he was ud and off again, this time to bring a'out the union of New York Mayor ODwvpr and fashion stylist Fliza-be- h Sloan Simnson. This romance culminated with a wedding in Florida. BUT the little fellow with the wings and the bow and arrows wasnt having any rest. With the ink barely dry on the press announcements of Mavor O'Dwyers wedding, headlines carrying a really romantic wallop were screaming again. And this time, Cupid had hit where it hurt. Thousands of movie-strucfemales across the nation, with a goodly number of them being Hollywoods own fair and famous, were shocked, then grieved as they learned that longtime movie idol Clark Gable had Vice-Preside- k wed. HANDSOME, Gable had taken to wife the widow of the late Douglas Fairbanks, Sr. She was the former Lady Ashley. Gable gave his age as 48, his bride said she was 39. The marriage was the fourth for each. n UNITED STATES POSTAGE .4 ? 1 1 r. ifi . r I; , & St "I i a. .jj, EINSTEIN: LITTLE WHITE HOUSE One Great Law? People Flock ToFDRHome Most schoolbcys would reset with surprise if told that gravity la 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 a( pie, he stated a theory that may be by explaining It as a fact that "everything that goes up must come down. However, Albert Einstein, frizzlehaired, unpretentious scientist, ranked as among the greatest In the world, and a key figure in the development of atomic power, wasn't content to leave It at thBt. 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 fvery-wherfrom 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. the new LIKE RELATIVITY, 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 rovers all the known laws or observations about the way matter and energy arid gravitation behave. STALIN: Big Birthday world went The a frenzy as each nation and satellite strove to outdo the others Soviet-dominate- d paying tribute to Russias Joseph Stalin on his 70th birth anniversary. 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. Thousands of parcels and crates, trainloads nt merchand'se, whole exposition halls of trinkets and pictures, factories and socks, books, and horses, wine and tovs, delica- eles and cars were tunneled toward Moscow from the Elbe" fo China, from the Arctic to the Black sea. NO ONE MAN could ever use all the gifts, or read all the honors. No one man could ever distribute them. What it was all worth was anyone's guess, but certainly millions of dollars. Eastern Germany alone collected 70 freight cars of gifts one for each year as a sort of whimsical reparations. The western world paid little 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. in chest-beatin- g 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 and cost millions of worker 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 kite with to fly a tail on it. That referred to previous statements 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 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 hike fight. an anti-tatail-spi- multi-billio- n x Has Everything INDONESIA: I 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 case with most republics, the 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 set a truce in the islands which ended the bloody fighting between the Indonesians and n Dutch, and also supported a roundtable conference at the Hague last fall which led to the granting of Indonesian inde. pendence.

They have just as big a Job left. At this spot their complete future plans are still too vague to be judged. They have a good start with 13 clubs. They need three more t o complete 16 teams that can then be turned into two big pro leagues. I dont believe they have a chance for any great measure of success if the 13 of 16 teams are to GranUand Rice be confined t0 one league. There should be two big leagues, entirely separate and distinct, with two league presidents and Bert Bell on hand as football commissioner. These two leagues must have the keen rivalry that now exists between the American and National leagues in baseball. They roust be separate organizations. One league with only 13 teams would produce around four money-maker- s. The old National league in 25 years tried out 35 teams in different cities with this result four winners and 31 stained heavily with red. The four winners, financially. were the Bears. Giants, .Redskins and Green Bay Packers. It was a smart move to keep both Los Angeles and San Francisco in the new setup; they happen to be much better football cities than New York, or Pittsburgh Philadelphia, even Chicago. Their big crowds, even this last poor season, ran from 66,000 to 86,000 far beyond any New York, Chicago or Philadelphia totals. Cleveland had a big drop from other years, but is still capable of matching or leading the squads. In their search for three other teams, pro football directors can turn to Texas with its frenzied football interests and stadiums capable of handling 75,000 people. Dale las and Houston are two cities worth inspecting. The 13 sets of owners left have had too much experience swimming In red seas not to have learned a useful lesson. Their experiences along other lines must have been helpful. The big drop in football salaries will give them a breathing spell. Almost everyone likes to top-draw-er TO see the player get his share, but not to take it all. Pro football is too fine a spectator's game not to have a bright future. It has one weakness. To make money a team must be a winner or a capable challenger. Collegiate football is different. Traditional contests draw well despite a teams record. The Top Pro e In one gathering they were talking about the star pros of the game, looking back to Red Grange, the greatest crowd-pulle- r of them all. Bronko Nagurskl was one of the featured headliners, a great football player. There were Otto Graham and Frankie Albert. There was Jim Thorpe In the old days. The most effective combination that ever worked together was Sammy Bangh and Cliff Battles. They wrecked both the Bears and the Giants on successive Saturdays. "The smartest football player I ever saw, Bob Zuppke said, and this goes for college or pro, is Sid Luckman. Luckman is an amazing man. He is a fine football player with his hands and legs and body. But he is amazing with his headwork. I believe Sid Luckman carries 500 plays in his bead, far more P'an any team could ever carry into action. But he can reach in and find the right one when he needs it. Luckman is a master magician with that football brain." There was another famous veteran coach in the group. Ill tell you about Sid Luckman, he said. Don Hutson Is the greatest pass catching end I ever saw. Sammy Baugh is certainly as great a passer and kicker as anyone would want to see. He is an star. But for value to my team, I would rather have had Luckman than Baugh and Hutson combined. I mean that. This may be overpraise. But it shows you the deep esteem in which Sid Luckman is held by all who know their football. Sid should have no trouble getting a good job coaching some team. He happens to be a gentleman on the side. Sammy Baugh is another who should finish his football career on the coaching side. It might be mentioned here that the big majority of the pro teams left are ably coached. Greasy Neale is one of the best football ever knew. So is George Halas. FIX -- IT ihr old-tim- Not Built for Home The little White House" was not built as a permanent home, or as a showplace. FDR planned it as a quiet hideway retreat. The cottage is not on any main route of travel. miles from Atlanta, it Seventy-fiv- e is reached by a winding trail through the wood, a mile or so off the highway. Immediately after Mr. Roosevelts death, people began to visit the site, though the house was closed and guarded. They came by the hundreds. A commission was created to establish the little White House as a public memorial. Guards kept visitors behind a fence as the work of restoring the house began. Visitors could see the house, but couldn't go Inside. New timbers were placed under floors to support them. Guide ropes were set up around furniture. Some objects were put under glass for protection. But everything was left just as it was the day Mr. Roosevelt died. The chair in which he was sitting to have his portrait painted is in the same spot. His desk is near by. Ship models are on the manteL Gift House Near the little White House is a two room cottage which Mrs. Roosevelt used to store gifts. When members of the commission unlocked it and dug through the dust, they found 165 walking canes. There were also paintings,, small objects of art, books and other sorts of things people send presidents. The commission arranged the cottage as a museum. The 165 walking canes are still there. So are gifts to the memorial from Great Britain, Australia, the Netherlands and Yugoslavia. Several states also have sent exhibits.

How a squirrel gave her a mighty bad time was related from a hospital bed here by Mrs. Laura Waugn, a housewife. She said she was clawed and bitten by the savage beast," namely, a gray squirrel. The squirrel was perched on a tree limb in her yard, Mrs. Waugn said, and she held out a tidbit to it. The squirrel promptly bit her When she started a retreat toward the house, the squirrel chased her She started running. So did the squirrel. It caught her, bit and scratched her legs.

"Like sitting in an easy chair," was the way test-pilGene May, 45, put it after he had tested the Douglas made craft. He wore only a red crash helmet to show by his garb that he was doing anything more than taking a casual ride. And just as casually he made two l passes over the course he had flown more than 70 times previously in the supersonic plane. The first pass over the lake was made on jet power alone, and a navy spokesman estimated the speed at about 670 miles an hour. May then turned on his four rocket engines on the second pass and hurtled the plane along just 30 feet off the ground, its rockets stream of flame belching a behind it. By Harold Arnett Navy censorship did not permit observers to make an estimate of the speed of that run, but one official said it was another supersonic flight, which meant faster than sound and the speed of sound at Muroc that day was estimated at more than 750 miles ao PAD 3 in Case Although an announcement made it clear that no emergency was expected, the United States army or- lapry a kiac I Called upon by the dpirt.Llr i agriculture to perform a little businesj- - Ha w miracle, mldwestem states is tck!-,tM of the biggest Jobs of m fc41 44 1 undertaken anywhere in " Its Herculean asMgnmest site preparation and erectV 300 steel buildings each 3 or larger at 670 widely locations.
