I’ve read quite a bit recently about 1
businessmen using the power of pray
er. It is a great approach to the
source of all power, but it sounds
too casual and coldly calculating. 1
God is not to be approached by men
who seek to appropriate power; we
can’t commercialize the Infinite. Butj
1 do not sit in judgment: that isn’t
my affair. Men are dropping off all
about us. so that brings to each one:

copal brethren address the Most High'
in one of their prayers.

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.

unmistakable Grass Roots signal from home!
And ever watchful, ever sensitive to an alert people.
The Congress saw that signal, and hoard the people

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.
THE "GRASS ROOTS" SIGNALS CONGRESS. In every com
munity in the Nation, people stood up to be counted on this im
portant issue. Thousands of local women’s clubs, civic groups, farm,
business, religious, taxpayer, medical, educational and patriotic organ-

• Doctors of this Nation are grateful that the people
refused to be wooed by the fantastic promises of this
un-American excursion into State Socialism, e Doctors
of America are dedicated to serve their fellow citizens
at home and their comrades in uniform, wherever serv
ice to this Nation may take them, e And the thing they
stand ready to fight for—to sacrifice for—to die for—is
not the alien way of life of Socialism, but the prideful
security of a free and self-reliant people!
THE VOLUNTARY WAY IS THE AMERICAN WAY!
• Throughout the Nation, free men and women, working and planning
together, are finding the American answer to every question of medical
service, care and cost. Hundreds of Voluntary Health Insurance Plans are
in healthy competition—sponsored by doctors, insurance companies, hos
pitals, fraternal organizations—by industry, agriculture and labor. • Today
in America—70 million people are protected by Voluntary Health Insur
ance! • Throughout the Nation, families are insuring themselves against
the major costs of illness—at reasonable, budget-basis prices. Voluntary
Health Insurance takes the economic shock out of illness. Protect your
family now. • For information, ask your doctor—or your insurance man.
