Socialized medicine, she explained, is a term which is used in this country. In England the program is called the National Health Service. whatever the name, the lady from Birmingham was anxious to get across that it providod medical service to everyone who wanted it, whether they be native or visi- tor. HEAVY TAX Mrs.
Cooke admitted the British peoples were heavily taxed to pay for the service, "but it was developed for our own consumption: it is the solving of our own problems." "No family need fear that finances will prevent them from proper medical care," she said. The National Health Service is not administered "paid bureaucrats," she explained, but by volunteer statutory boards. Britons can subscribe to any part or the of the National Health Service, Cooke pointed whole, out, and doctors may choose what proportion of their services are included under the program or devoted to private practice. Although the majority take advantage of the she said, there are still some of the older people who "insist on paying for what they get." However, those who pay for private consultation still must pay the medical tax, she said later in answer to a question from the floor. General practitioners, or family doctors, are allowed to carry 3,500 patients on their "lists," she said, and are paid on a per capital basis Specialists are paid on a "sessional" basis, according to the type of service they perform.

Joseph McCarthy and Army Secretary Robert Stevens. Johnston said McCarthy's own I subcommittee should not be allowed to pass judgment on matters involving its own chairman and top staff members.
"Who would prepare the case?" he asked. "It would not be fair." He agreed with Lennon and others who are advocating that the Senate Armed Services Committee should handle the investigation. Lennon said the Armed Services Committee should take jurisdiction because the charges and countercharges involve the verac. ity of the Army secretary, the morale of the military forces, and alleged favoritism.

FARM PRICE SUPPORTS Ballentine Assails Shaw Testimony RALEIGH, N.C., March 15 (P constroversy on the question of farm price supports has broken out between State Agriculture Commissioner L. Y.
Ballentine and R. Flake Shaw of Greensboro, executive vice president of the North Carolina Farm Bureau Federation. Ballentine claims that Shaw was not speaking for the majority of North Carolina farmers when he presented testimony before the Senate Agriculture Committee in Washington last week. The agriculture commissioner voiced his objections to the testimony in telegrams sent to all North Carolina congressmen and senators. He stated he does not favor flexible price supports and does not believe a majority of the farmers in the state favor them.
Shaw represents the 13 Southern states on the national 4-man executive committee. A transcript of Shaw's testimony, received here today, shows that Shaw endorsed the official position of the American Farm Bureau Federation and commented: "This may not be as good as we would like it to be, but it is the best thing we could work out in the way of a national farm program. I mean an approach to it. We do think it is better than what we have. We hope, you give it your most careful When asked whether the North Carolina Farm Bureau is supporting the American Farm Bureau proposals, Shaw replied: "We had the president of the Farm Bureau who sat on the resolutions committee and we had five voting delegates who voted for every principle in it.
I would say this, Sen. Holland (of Florida), and I do not want to be misunderstood: We have people in our state, just like all other states, who do not agree with that philosophy, because in the first instance they do not understand what they are talking about when they say 90 versus 75. ing They do elements not and understand a lot the that qualify. this document that we have presented here today.

NLRB Ruling Overturned RICHMOND, 1 March 15 (P- A federal appeals court today overturned a National Labor Relations Board ruling against a textile firm which moved from Massachusetts to North Carolina. NLRB had ordered Mount Hope Finishing Co. of North Dighton, to offer employment to all employes who were discharged when the plant closed Oct.
20, 1951; to reimburse them for necessary moving expenses and dismiss, if necessary to give them jobs, all employes employed by the company at its Butner, N.C., site; and pay the Massachusetts employees wages dating from Oct. 20, 1951, to the less date of offer of such reinstatement, earnings during period. The board had ruled the company "moved the business to Butner for the purpose of evading their obligation to bargain collectively the union." But the 4th Circuit Court of Appeals in its opinion said "prevailing economic conditions, had caused the heart of the textile industry to seek locations in the South, were unfavorable to the business."

has asked for information concerning the whereabouts of her 17-year-old daughter Alberta, missing from her home since the weekend. and information on any kind of a program." At another point Shaw said: "The next point, and this is commented on in our resolutions in North Carolina: The North Carolina farmers want 90 per cent support but they say you lave to earn it. They go far enough to write into the resolution, Sen. Anderson (of New Mexico), a qualifying statement to the effect that unless farmers keep supplies line with reasonable demand, they are not entitled to any price supports." Other parts of Shaw's statement were devoted to praising tobacco program, asking for a revision in the parity formula, and calling for production controls until larger markets for agricultural products are found. At the committee hearing Shaw followed Allan B.
Kline, president of the American Farm Bureau Federation, who presented an 18-page statement of the organization's position on farm legislation. Kline's statement included this provision: "The temporary provisions of law requiring 90 per cent of parity price support on the basic commodities without regard to supply should be allowed to expire at the end of the 1954 program. The principles of the permanent provisions of the agricultural act of 1949 with respect to variable price supports should be put into effect. In addition the law should be amended to provide that 90 per cent of parity price support shall be mandatory the first year that marketing quotas are in effect for any commodity immediately following a year in which marketing quotas were not in effect on such commodity. Thereafter, the level of price supbe determined by the producers' response in bringing a supplies in line with effective demand."
