Medical Association Head Attacks Plans Lashes Eisenhower Health Reinsurance INDFANAiPOLIS (INS) — The newly elected president of the Indiana State Medical Association has attacked President Eisenhowers proposed health reinsurance program as "a step toward Socialism.” Dr. Walter Port tens, of Franklin, who will be installed Wednesday night, said the program called for government participation in private enterprise and constituted a socialistic. trend. Ijist Thursday, the President asked for enactment x»f a program in which the feden|U government would underwrite up to 75 per cent of the losses suffered by private and non-profit insurance firms as a result of voluntary expansion of the health an<| medical program. The Franklii? physician said private enterprise seems to be handling the programs very well without government interference and that the President's plan would "open the door to socialised medicine.” More than 2,500 delegates and wives attending the 105th annual three-day convention in Indianapolis, heard a report whcih showed a survey by Purdue disclosed 55 per cent of the nation's high school pupils approve of socialized medicine. The disclosure brought forth a resolution for the association to sponsor a prize winning essay contest on "The Advantages of Private Medical Care.” Another resolution urged a battle against proposed national legislation which would call for federal employment of physicians to certify as to total disability for waiver of employe contributions in the social security program. That proposed legislation also is described as a ‘‘formidable means to bring about socialized medicine.” 'lndiana <‘ate health commissioner, Dr. Andrew C. Offutt, addressed a luncheon meeting today, and present Association President, Dr. William Harry Howard, of Hammond, will speak at a “President’s Dinner” tonight. Other speakers on the three-day program, which ends Wednesday night, include Dr. Emanuel Marcus, of Hammond, Chciago Medical School professor; Dr. William C. Vance. Richmond pediatrician; Dr. Joseph O Lawrence, Evansville orthopedic surgeon, and Dr. Clyde O. Culbertson. Indiana University school of medicine professor.

Science Questions (By G. E. Scientists) Q. What makes those reflective tapes that are put on automobile bumpers shine so brightly at night? A. Such tapes are covered with a large quantity of tiny glass beads, along with the dye that gives the color. Each little bead sends back a ray of light in the direction whence it came. Thus, they all combine so that they seem to shine brightly If you' are directly in back of the light that is shining upon it, as you would be in an approaching car. Similar glass beads are used in white paints, for -roadway traffic markings, that shine at night in the same way. Q. What causes a log, as in a log cabin, to develop cracks, and how was this prevented in masts used on sailing ships? A: Unless special precautions are taken a log doos not dry uniformly. When freshly cut. it contains considerable moisture, and the outside dries first. As so it shrinks a little, so the outer layers, if they dry more rapidly than the inside portions, have to crack because, the inside is too large. To prevent this, logs may be placed in special ovens, so that drying is uniform. Sometimes they are jacketed with steam to keep the' outside from drying faster than the heart of the log. Q. What are the highest and lowest temperatures at which animals can live? A. Apparently the animal which lives in the hottest environment is a fish found in , the hot springs of Ceylon at a temperature of more than 120 degrees F. At the other extreme is an insect, the Alaskan stonefly, which carries on normal activities at the freezing point of 32 F. Simple plants can withstand an even greater range. Living algae are found in heated pools at Yellowstone Park with a temperature of about 185 degrees, while certain kinds of molds and bacteria grow at temperatures below freezing. In an. inactive state, some organisms can survive even at'temperatures of several hundred degrees below zero. Q. What would cause one’s hair, which was formerly curly, to become straight after an illness? A. The color of the hair, as well as the thickness and sometimes the curliness, any change during one’s life. Usually this is gradual, and is frequently associated with other bodily changes. However, if hair is lost suddenly, as in an illness, the change may then seem more abrupt, since, all or many of the hairs are then new, and grow in together. Normally, a lot of the old hairs would still be present, and the new ones less apparent. Democrat Want Ads Bring Result!

Hermann Field Is Reported In Rest Home Wife Says Field Is Recuperating In Polish Rest Home LONDON (INS) — Hermann Field's wife said today that her husband was in a rest home near Warsaw, indicating that he is in bad physical shape'after five years in a Polish Communist prison. The United States embassy in Warsaw reported today that it had "been in touch” with Field, the American citizen whose release was announced this week by the Warsaw government. Mrs. Kate Field, his wife who lives in London, later issued a statement saying: "1 have received a telegram from Hermann saying he is longing to come home to aie and the boys, but that he needs to recuperate for a short while before travelling.” A spokesman at the embassy admitted in a telephone conversation that contact had been established with the former Cleveland architect. All further inquiries were met by the same response: "1 must refer you to Washington (or a statement.” But a girl secretary in the embassy laughed off speculation that Field was unwilling to return to the west, saying: "There isn’t any truth in that." Then she quickly referred the call to an embassy official because she was "not a competent source.” A government communique broadcast early Monday by Radio Warsaw said only that Field had been cleared of "unfounded” spy charges against him. It gave no details of Field’s whereabouts or wishes. Since the announcement was made, embassy officials in Warsaw had been expecting Field to contact them. That contact apparently was made today. If Hermann Field Returns from behind the Iron Curtain, he may be able to provide some clues to one of post war Europe’s most baffling mysteries. Field had not been heard from since August, 1949. when he was arrested while waiting in Warsaw for a plane to Prague; He was traveling In the Soviet satel!ite*jn an effort to find his brother, Noel, a former State Department aide who had vanished in Prague the previous May. Noel's wife disappeared the same day as Hermann. She had been waiting for her brother-in-law in the Czech capital. In the following year, Noel and Herta Field’s adopted daughter Ericha Wallach, vanished in East Berlin while seeking word of her family. * ———————— Teen-Aged Sex Orgy Rings Are Charged Six Men Arrested in Illinois County GLEN ELLYN, 111. (INS) — Aroused citizens of Du Page county heard reports today of three and possibly four teen-aged sex orgy rings, one of them involving a 13-year-old grade school girl and seven youths. Assistant state's attorney William J. Bauer and state’s attorney William L. Guild said Monday that the seven youths and the girl were involved in sex orgies in the Glen Ellyn home of an 18-year-old youth. The girl’s mother, a widow, complained to police who seized six of the seven men. The seventh is now at an air force base. Officials said two and possibly three other rings of teen - agers have been involved in similar sex offenses in Du Page county. The six were charged with sex perversion and two of them are accused of contributing to the delinquency of a minor. The girl told police she was forced to disrobe and dance to phonograph records with the young men after being coerced into sex offenses at the Glen Ellyn home. The youth’s parents were out of town at the time. She related ' Similar activities with some of the defendants in an automobile last Oct. 13 and in the Glen Ellyn forest preserve near the Du Page River last Oct. 19. No liquor, beer or narcotics were served at the parties, Bauer said.

Indiana Democrats Blast GOP's Smear Chairman Skillen Demands Apologies INDIANAPOLIS (INS) -r The Indiana Democratic state committee today blasted the GOP for running a (Red smear and demanded an investigation of alleged Communist literature supporting Democratic candidates. Democratic chairman Charles Skillen branded <IOP chairman Alvin ('. Cast’s statements, a “despicable Red smear." He demanded Cast apologize publicly for his charge that Democrats have organized Communist support. Simultaneously, former eighth district Democratic , congressman Winfield K. Denton, of Evansville, asked the postal department to investigate the source of letters that attacked GOP candidates and the administration. Industrial workers in Evansville, South Bend, New Castle. Muncie and Indianapolis, over the last month, have received the crudely mimeographed bond paper letters. Some were postmarked Richmond. Ind., and others were postmarked Washington. Ind. The latest issue carried a Cincinnati. O„ postmark. The typewritten complimentary close is “Issued by the Communist Party of Indiana.” Cast’s statement read: “Republican state chairman Alvin C. Cast reported today ’documentary evidence.’ has been uncovered which indicates organized Communist support will be behind the Democratic party in the Nov. 2 elections.” Skillen replied: “The despicable Red smear statement issued by the Republican chairman is shocking. Only a desperate party could so slander fellow. Hoosiers who served their state and nation well and who fought their battles.” Cast said he intended no smear against individual Democrats but was giving information about national activities of the Communist party. He did not answer Democratic bystander charges that perhaps . the letters were part of a Republican plan. Act More Firmly With South Korea American-Korean Currency Dispute WASHINGTON (INS)—The U.S was reliably reported today to have decided to <ct more firmly with South -Korea as a result of the deadlock over the use of Korean currency. American representatives in Korea are understood also to have been advised ‘to turn down Korean demands that rehabilitation supplies should not be purchased in Japan. The American-Korean currency dispute has reached the—stage where the U. S. command has announced it will start paying Korean employes and contractors in American dollars- instead of Korean hwan. President Syngman Rhee recently suspended advance credits of hwan to the U. S. forces in Korea for use in purchasing local products and services and for paying Koreaq nations employed by the U. S. Rhee's action resulted from a dispute over the official exchange The South Korean government wanted the U. S. to agree to the official exchange of 180 hwan for one dollar. The U. S. has refused, pointing out that an American dollar brings 700 to 800 hwan on the free market where prices are based on real valuesCHARLES E. WILSON, Secretary of Defense, predicted that an additional two billion dollar cut can be made tri military spending this year without slowing down the nation's preparedness program. He told the World Affairs Council in Los Angeles that the armed forces are reducing their outlays from the previously-estimated $37,500,000,000. (International)
