having some 10,000 weekly and smaller city
daily newspapers, in addition to its large dailies
and national publications. They are’generally
owned by local citizens who are^ropei-ty owners,
taxpayers and employers. Their editor^ ire"
members of all political parties. r
They are not afraid to express their opinions
of public officials. They are not afraid of being
liquidated as writer^ and publishers have been
in communist nations. They do not take kindly
to political dictation and attempts by officials to
intimidate or censure what they use or how they
use it. If they did, there would be no free press.

Yet, violence is seldom seen in
the courtroom. Even after the de-
cision, when one of the parties has
tasted defeat, the loser usually
•■takes" it with astonishingly .good
grace. As Federal Judge Hctuy J
Friendly wrote recently:
’ ”1 always feel pride, and some
wonder, when, after a healed and
hitter argument, a word passes
from the bench and quiet de-
scends." »
What defuses the explosion?
Surely the secret lies in the basic
method of the courtroom—the
method of settling disputes by al-
lowing each side to be heard, with
a neutral third party deciding
which one shall win?—
To be sure, the method has
faults. Legal technicalities slow it.
Human frailtits flaw it. Not every
judge is impartial, not every juror
w ise.
But the method does succeed in
settling a vast number, J0f*'poten-
tially violent disputes—peacefully.
“On the whole,” observed Judge
Friendly, “it works.”
Pacifism does not deny that con-
flicts will inevitably arise In the
ordinary course of human affairs.
Pacifism seeks only to resolve
these conflicts without violence.
The courtroom is demonstrating
daily that it can be done.

forever an art
Heavy emphasis has been placed onprograms
' to attain an all-encompassing medical care
system. <,
The goal seems to be quantitative medicine.
Progress is measured in numbers—so many
doctors, so many hospitals and other health
care facilities for so many hundreds of millions
of people. The trouble with such a system in
the field of medicine is that no matter how many
people there are, the population is ,nade up of
individuals, and no two individuals are alike.
Subjecting the individual to assembly-line
medical care is something that the J.S.. medi-
cal profession is dedicated to avoiding. It be-
lieves complete medical care must be measured
in quality, as well as quantity.
As the Dean of Pennsylvania State University
College of Medicine points out: “The patient
does not wish to be treated as a statistic from a
group approach, but as an individual--a person.

ecutive Committee reports.
SDEC’... says the medium-
metropolitan counties have
shown only a slight increase in
registrations during the last 30
days. This group of23counties
enrolled 282,851 or 35.9 per
cent of a potential 676,680.
Same counties a month ago had
signed up 230,764.
Some SDEC statistics bore
out, ‘some contradicted the
warning of U.S. Sen. Ralph Yar-
borough that registration is
greatest in Republican and con-
servative counties.:
Greatest percentage of re-
gistration in any big county,
said SDEC, is Jeffefson, a lib-
eral Democratic stronghold
where 75.9 per cent of apossible
90,609 already have enrolled.
Sign-up in liberal Bexar County
is 62.8 per cent of quota, but
conservative Dallas registers
70 per cent and Harris, 69.9
per cent.
Midland County in medium
bracket has 73.7 per cent re-
- gistration, Brazoria 90.2 per
cent. Midland is key conserva-
tive area.
SDEC, through! ts “Operation:
Everybody” is offering awards
to counties which meet re-
gistration quotas.

MEDICARE RATES TO BE INCREASED DUE TO RISING COSTS
* A .. . .. ji._____„__jl..
Rising hospital care costs
across the nation have forced
Medicare’s inpatient hospital
deductible aijd coinsurance a-
• mounts to be increased accord-
ingly, according to Alyce Amend,
New rates in the hospital
deductible and coinsurance be-
comes effective Jan. 1, she Con-
tinued. The deductible, payable
at the beginning of a “benefit
period” upon entrance in a5*
hospital, will be increased by
$8, from the present $44 to
$52. The coinsurance, payable
by the patient after the first
60 days of hospitalization, will
rise from $11 to $13 per day.
Coinsurance for the 60-day
lifetime reserve (beginning
after 90 days hospitalization)
will increase from $22 to $26
daily.
Although Medicare will con-
tinue to pay all costs for the
first 20 days in an extended
care facility (skilled nursing
home) the patient will be re-
quired to pay an additional dol-
lar a day, $6.50 instead of
$5.50 for the 21st through the
100th day of such care.
Mrs. Amend noted that these
• increased rates apply, however,
only to benefit periods or
“spells of illness.” beginning on
after Jan. 1, 1970. This
means that Medicare beneficia-

Pacifism That Works
I Where else can'one find such
I hotbed of hostility as in a court
If law? Each case is born of con- I
■ict, nurtured on resentment, and
brought to maturity in the grim
Lertainty that one side is right and
[he other s 'e is wrong.
| The individual litigants, seeking
heir “day in court,” make up a
heritable parade of angry men.
Here we find the wrqthful motorist,
Che indignant neighbor, the out
baged customer, the irate stock-
holder. Their grievances are the
Ikin^ that, in a tavern or on a
street corner, would very likely,
explode into violence.

nexf spell of illness,' which will

home for at least 60 days.
. sicker than children.
’ T^o df these so-called cnild-
jjQOd diseases—mumps and
'German measles (rubella)—
have special dangers for the
adult patient. Mumps can be
damaging to both adult men
and women. And German
measles, when occurring in the
early part of pregnancy, can
result in damage to the unborn
child. A new vaccine may
eventually lead to the eradica-
tion of German measles, but
there is a danger until all women
in the cldld-bearing years have
been immunized against it.
So, if you are exposed to any
'■ “childhood” disease and. be-...
lieve you have never had it,
ask’you doctor what you can do
to protect yourself. •
........ 1 It is extremely important that
registered* to*vote*fn the 12 ?r'ou and your chitfrfen keep
protection against smallpox up
tq date’. True, the absence of.
smallpox in the country has led
to a lack of public concern about
this serious disease, and large
segments of th^adult population
are unvaccinated or require
boosters. In some parts of the
world smallpox continues to be
a serious problem. If just one
single undetected smallpox case
should be introduced into a U.S.
community, it could touch-off a
serious epidemic.
Is it true that a baby is
protected by his “natural im-
munity” acquired from his
mother? Some of a mother’s
natural or acquired immunities,
if any, can be passed on to her
unborn . infant as her blood
courses through the placenta
that nourishes him, but this
inherited immunity remains ef-
fectiv^xfor only a short time.
In the case of whooping cough,
a highly contagious disease that
is especially dangerous and
often fatal for small babies,
there is evidence that immunity
is only occasionally passed on.
. Every parent, advises the
State Health Department, should
plan an immunization program
. beginning at six weeks, of age
against diphtheria, whooping
cough, tetanus, poliomyelitis
and smallpox. Booster shots
to maintain complete protection
should follow at prescribed in-
tervals throughout childhood
and, in the case of certain
diseases, well into adult life.

“The practice of medicine has historically
been considered an art. It rests more and
more on a scientific base, but. because of
biologic variability, the data collected on an
Individual patient cannot meet scientific criteria;
4 hence, the practice of medicine will forever
remain an art. Practice car. be looked upon as
a highly confidential interpersonal relationship.
The emphasis in the educational program should
be on the individual—whether he be student,
patient, or physlcUn-teacher.”
The U.S. system of government and ofprivate
enterprise, and the freedoms we enjoy, under it,
rest solidly on the premise that the individual is
important. Nowhere is the individual more im-
portant than in the realm of health care.
The American medical system is tailored to
the American philosophy of individualism. A
cardinal aim of national health-care policies
and programs should be to preserve, as weU
as to expand, the present system.
editorial independence
Politicians who profess to be liberals are
often the quickest to criticize editors when they
.fail to. toe the “liberal” Jine or when they see
merit in the views of others Ind ft print them
as expressions of editorial policy.
The majority of editors are more Lidependent
in their thinking than the politicians. They don’t
key their words’to getting votes. They concern
themselves with informative comment for their
readers on local, national, industrial, labor and
tax questions affecting employment, production
and the economy.
