PAGE TWO --- UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN, LAWRENCE, KANSAS WEDNESDAY, JUNE 21, 1944 TODAY'S EDITORIAL Medical Insurance Offers Social Aids For several years now, national compulsory health insurance has been the object of tug-of-war between organized medical societies and congressmen trying to provide low-cost medical aid for lower income groups. It was in the early 1930s that group-payment health insurance first got its real start in this country. The American Medical Association fought tooth and nail against the "menace," suspending from its membership doctors who cooperated. The U. S. Supreme Court put an end to this obstacle when in 1939 it ruled that the Medical Association's activities constituted restraint of trade under the Anti-Trust Act. Advocates of the health insurance plan say that medical individualism which has shown itself to be inadequate for the needs of a nation at war, was inadequate even in peace time; and after the war, if it continues to be the old characteristic form of medical organization, it will be at the expense of our national health. Other charges, backed by convincing figures and facts, are that there are too few doctors, that they are poorly distributed, that medical care is expensive, and that most doctors are not able to use their knowledge and skills to the best advantage. The chief economic virtue of this new form of insurance seems to be that it eliminates the risk of an unpredictable and unbudgetable family expense. It was demonstrated to be workable in Czechoslovakia and Germany before the war, and is being carried on in Uruguay and Chile. Upon coming to power, the Nazi party charged the old regime with being "top-heavy with bureaucrats," but upon taking over the government they found that the only way the people could save money was by reducing the quantity and quality of medical care. Opposition to this example in this country is in the form of fear that such a measure would be used as a political instrument by the party in power, that it would have a terrible effect on our standards of medical treatment, and that it would surely lead us into fascism, Nazism, socialism, communism, etc. Backers of the insurance plan say that they do not offer to solve our larger social problems, but only to do the best that can possibly be done within the limitations of our present-and complex economic system.

Paul Renick of the United States Navy, visited the campus today on his way to Hollywood, Fla. Ensign Renick has been an assistant instructor in the chemistry department for the past few years. Rock Chalk Talk That Certain Feeling — Harriet Davis, Corbinite, describes it with a quaking voice. Tuesday afternoon she decided in favor of a little extra Morpheus, and with instructions that someone be sure to call her in time for dinner, she retired. By DIXIE GILLILAND Time marched by; a quarter till 6 o'clock rolled by at last, and Harriet's roommate, with the best of intentions, entered the room, shook the sleeping beauty and walked out. A few minutes later Harriet roused herself enough to look at the clock. Her cries were heard for corridors around! "My gosh, it's 9 o'clock. I'm missing classes. Oh, what shall I do? What day is this?" They told her what day it was. Queens of June — Seen prancing lightly in early morning on the campus lawns were Bob Boore, Jim Mordy, Charles Moffett, and Dave Stimson, Delts. Climax of the bare-footed dew ballet on the recent - * * Helpful Inheritance — Departing Sigma Kappa seniors willed their campus-ly possessions to under-classmen a few nights ago, in contemplation of soon entering another world. To Mavis Lukert went the most valuable possession. To the "just five feet" SK Ruth Schofield, 5 foot, 9 inches, willed "the ear horn she has used to listen to short boys, so Mavis can listen to tall boys." ... morn, was a slight shove given to a large cement roller over a more-than-slight hill. And what happened to it? Spring Resolution — With two proofs of its worth already recorded this year, we adopt: "Oh, it's still rolling." *** "If you don't wish to see you-eh, pride—sunk, Don't borrow anyone else's swimming trunks." This week's supporter of the idea is Dorwin Lamkin, V-12. It seems that Saturday Dorwin took to the water in borrowed attire. Everything went smoothly until, as he posed on the high diving board for a perfect exhibition, all the buttons came off the borrowed article. This week's trophy goes to the good samaritan who lent him a pin. Library Books, Due Monday, To Be Reissued for 24 Hours Although all library books are due Monday, they may be reissued for 24 hours or, if the student will be in any of the summer sessions, for the regular two weeks, according to C. M. Baker, head librarian. Mr. Baker stated that although books are rarely lost this step is taken to make a periodical check on the condition of the books and to avoid any losses, as far as possible.

The news correspondent-photographer was KU's favorite campus cameraman from 1937 until he left in '39, during which time he worked his way through school with his camera. "Ame war photographer, Bert Brandt, splashed ashore to make (for the War Picture Pool) the first ground-level pictures to reach America, showing Allied landings on the Normandy beachhead." This outline and Brandt's photograph appeared in an Ame ad in the latest edition of the Editor and Publisher magazine. A letter from Brandt in London was received by Mr. Ellsworth last month stating that he was waiting for the invasion after covering the Italian campaign.
