Off YOU AND THE MAN NEXT DOOR? RUNNING AMERICA 18 the joint job of 150,000,000 people. It's the biggest job in the world today —keeping it running for liberty and for freedom. And the whole world’s watching to see whether Americans can do it! IN MUCH OF THE WORLD today, the people have resigned from running their own countries. Gt!:er,i have been quick to step in—first with promises of “security”—and then with whips cred guns—to run things their way. The evidence is on every front page in the world, every day. FREEDOM COMES UNDER ATTACK. The reality of war has made every American think hard about the things he’s willing to work and fight for—and freedom leads the list. But that freedom has been attacked here recently—just as it has been attacked in other parts of the world. One of the most serious threats to individual freedom has been the threat of Government-dominated Compulsory Health Insurance, falsely presented as a new guarantee of health "security" for everybody. izations spoke out—giving the great United States Congress its unmistakable Grass Roots signal from home! And ever watchful, ever sensitive to an alert people. The Congress saw that signal, and hoard the people speak out, loud and plain. That's democracy In action. That's the American wayl Today among the 10,000 great organizations on militant public record against ’Compulsory Health Insurance” are: « t < X * g«»K%saaH«g%taaannnwnnngnaB{ As Woshington Sees It... THE NATIONAL SCENE Special to The Chronicle Washington, Oct. 10—With the re cord of the 81st congress a matter for the verdict of the voters in No vember, there was an atmosphere of relief here in Washington, both in and out of government, as the law makers trekked out of town, some to lose—others to win approbation at the polls—but most to put in busy h >urs before the election booths open Nov. 7. Even up to the last moment of adjournment there was tension and rebellion in the air as first the house J and then the senate passed the Me-, Carran anti-subversive bill over the veto of President Truman. And like- iy this measure may become a cam paign issue, although 26 Democrats in the senate voted to make the bill law despite presidential veto. It has been a hysteriaridden con-; * giess, fearful of what the people! . might do in retaliation at the polls,! which herded otherwise sober-1 minded senators to vote for the most; drastic curb on freedom ever on the books in this country. It has beer^ a congress which had been nagged and i spent by witch hunts and Commun-1 ist charges and counter-charges for months which finally gave-in “for a rness of pottage” and plastered the measure on the statute book, al though the President and the de partment of justice said the bill would do these things: (1) it would require publication of vital defense installations; (2) it would waste time of the justice department and the FBI on “its unworkable regis tration provisions”; (3) it would cost tne assistance of many aliens in in telligence matters; (4) it would an tagonize friendly governments; (6) THE PEOPLE WEIGH THE FACTS. In the American manner, the people studied the case for Socialized Medicine—and the case against it. They found that Government domination of the people’s medical affairs under Compulsory Health Insurance means lower standards of medical care, higher payroll taxes, loss of incentive, damage to research, penalties for the provident, rewards for the improvident. They found that no country on earth can surpass Amer ica's leadership in medical care and progress.'They found that able doctors, teachers, nurses and scientists —working in laboratories where Science, not Politics, is master—are blazing dramatic new trails to health for Americans-and for the world.
