presented to a Senate Labor and Public Welfare Subcommittee by J. Donald Kingsley, acting Federal Security administrator. . He was the first witness as the subcommittee opened hearings on the President's hotly controversial health program and alfernate plans offered: by Sens, Robert A. Taft (R. O.), and Lister Hill (D. Ala.). Mr. Kingsley said the adminis {ration’s plan would assure all Americans adequate medical care and would safeguard private medicine. “I am firmly and honestly convinced,” he said, “that nothing short of the social insurance method can prevent the further

“On the other hand, I believe that social insurance can prevent it, because it would establish exactly the thing that has always been lacking and which has renederd private medicine incapable of doing the full job. That is, a sound, firm, reliable economic foundation upon which private Jieljcie can expand and flourh. ” Mr. Kingsley said that at least half of the U. 8. families with incomes of less than $3000 cannot afford to pay for adequate medical care today. “In fact, under the present circumstances, only the relatively rich or the charity poor are in a position to take full advantage of the wonders of modern medicine,” Mr. Kingsley said. “The great middle-income group—the backbone of the country—are left out in the cold, not wealthy enough to meet a sudden emergency or to pay for modern preventative care, but toe well-off to qualify and too proud to ask

Shy, introspective, scholarly, Mr. Forrestal was a philosopher at heart and a cabinet member by circumstance. His jutting chin and prize-fighter nose were deceptive. Some thought he was a “tough guy.” That was not true. But no one ever called him “good old Jim.” He was no back-slap-per. He attended only “must” social functions, and then left early. Yet his friends say he was a warm human being who liked people and wanted to be liked. He was never consciously unfair or unjust; the fear he might hurt someone undeservedly haunted him,
