Sound Solution
The President’s message to Congress on health mat
ters has again focused national attention on the problem
of extending voluntary health insurance coverage and
still keeping the cost within the means of the average
family.
. Without debating the President’s proposals, there is
oAe sound way of doing that and it is away which
would involve no revolutionary experiment. It lies in leg
islation which* would permit income tax deductions of
medical and hospital bills, and premiums paid for health
insurance. Then individuals would no longer pay heavy
takes op money simply passed through their hands, and
had to be spent for unavoidable expenses completely be
yond their control.
Consumers Set The Values
Many a housewife often wonders why one cut of beef,
-off the same steer, may cost twice as much as another.
There’s nothing mysterious about it, however and
it- isn’t caused by ominous human connivance. It is the
natural and inevitable result of two factors the physi
cal make-up of that steer, which no one can do anything
about, and the law of supply and demand, which is a nat
ural law as old as civilization.
Take, for example, two cuts of beef —a fancy steak
and a pot roast. The steak sells at around SI.OO a pound
and the ppt roast, which is equally nutritious, sells for
abQUt half that figure. The reason for the disparity in
price i§ easily explained. A I,OQO-pound steer provides
only about 35 pounds of top-priced steak while it pro
vides three times as much pot roast. And the steak is gen
erally held in higher esteem than the pot roast.
The upshot, is that demand for the steak in relation to
supply is ybry high, —. while in relation to the pot roast it
is much lower. And that is what determines the price we
pay." In thg free market, in other words, the consumers
themselves, acting en masse, set the values. This is true
everything ini general use.

THE TRAVAIL OF
ARTHUR DEAN
Because of an interview published
in the “Providence Sunday Journal”
of January 3, 1954, Arthur H. Dean,
our ambassador at Panmunjom, has
been put on the spot as an inter
venor for Red China. I have written
some on this subject and did a
broadcast attacking Dean’s position.
Now, it appears that Dean is on
the same side of the fence that most
Americans are on.
th a letter to Alfred Kohlberg,
dated February 17, Dean said.
“Let me say as an individual citi
zen;
“(1) I am in favor of a foreign
policy which is formulated and
carried out solely and only in the
interest of the American people and
which will defeat and set back the
Communists everywhere and at all
times. To be realistic there should
be a complete and constant re
examination of this policy at all
times so that American lives will
not be lost and we will not be
caught unawares.
“ (2) I am not now and never have
been in favor of recognizing Com
munist China.
“(3) I am not now and never have
been in favor of admitting Com
munist China into the United Na
tions or into the family of nations.
I admire very much the work of
Nationalist China in the United
Nations and particularly Mr. T. F
Tslang who speaks effectively and
to the point.
“(4) I am not now and never
have been in favor of relaxing trade
embargoes on" Red China or
North Korea.
“(5) To recognize Red China or
to admit her to the U. N. would
be a severe blow, not only to Na
tionalist China but to the morale
of nations we are trying to aid in
the fight against Communism. Fur
ther it would hand to the Reds on
a silver platter control over the
large number of Chinese now resi
dent in Sooth East Asia and con
trol over their assets in the rubber,
manufacturing, fishing, insurance
and shipping fields which they
would use against us>* f
“(6) So long as iti does not), In
volve us in war or in the heed -
less loss of American boys’ lives, I
am in favor of aid to Chiang Kai
shek. I am not in favor of our
participating in a military attack
on the mainland. It would involve
a long war of attrition 9,000 miles
away. The Japanese coWdn’t win It
across the Sea of Japan, without
having commitments in Europe.
“(7) I was asked to go to Pan
munjom to attempt to negotiate
time, place and composition of the
political conference on Korea. Ex
cept as related to these matters, I
have no authority, have beta asked
to do nothing else, and ekeept for
this limited role have never been
asked to participate in the formula
tion of our Far Eastern policy at
any time.
“That is a matter for the Presi
dent, the Secretary of State, tho
Assistant Secretary of State for the
Far East, and Senate and House
leaders.”
No more unequivocal statement
has been made by anyone, certaiply
by no one in the government ex
cept Vice President Richard Nikon.
Sefiator Knowland has, of course,
been emphatic in this direction.
Now, what becomes of the “Ptoyi
dence Journal” interview in which
Dean is reported to have said;
. ■ .“I don’t mind repeating my be
lief that it is in the selfish interest
of the American people to put on a
new set of glasses and realty ex
amine with a hard critical stare
whether there is any possibility of
putting Chiang Khl-shfek back oii
the mainland. If we Were genles
With a bottle ye would put Chiang
back on the mainland, but We Keen'*’
genies and we haven't got a bottle.
“I think .there & a possibility the
Chinese Communist# are more in-'
teres ted in developing themselves In
China than they are in internatioiP
al Communism. If we could use
that as a divisive method of putting
a wedge between the Chinese Ohm
munists and the 'Soviet Union, I
think we might try it"
This, I take it, is now completely
repudiated and, that My. Doing
signature Will gb on the petition of
The Committee for OnT NtfoiiS;
mimist China to ithef United Na
tions. If I dm to apologize for over
emphasizing the “Prt>Vin<se Journal’’
Interview, I must also congratulate

WASHINGTON— The Senate last
week approved by a 45 to 42 vote
the nomination of Mr. Albert C.
Beeson to the National Labor Re
lations Board. I voted against his
confirmation. My vote was based
entirely on what I considered mis
leading testimony given by him on
various occasions before the Senate
committee. Mr. Beeson, in my judge -
ment, withheld pertinent and im
portant facts.
TAX EXEMPTION
Senator George has introduced
legislation which I am supporting
to increase the personal federal tax
exemption and the exemption for
dependents from S6OO to SBOO for
this year. I strongly favor, this be
cause it will provide more take
home pay in the pockets of work
ers which will increase purchasing
power and will stimulate produc
tivity. in other words, If jjassed,
this would mean i man, wife and
two children would not pay any
federal income tax oh the' first
*3200. It will also eliminate muen
of the red tape of records because
It will make it unnecessary for
many to file returns. The excessive
tax burdens at all levels are doing
much, I am convinced, to slow
down our economy. That is irhy I
have maintained that We must cut
our foreign economic spending dras
tically. -limning
The work C com
mjttee is sometimes subject to con
siderable criticism. I haVe felt that
committees should not be used to
promote person and par#. But we
should never lose Sight Os tlte fact
that Congressional committees are
the real source for getting facts
upon which legislation can te bas
ed. Most of the commlttete are
hard-Working, sincere, and ; are ren
dering a vifel Service. I ' have
thought that some of the Commit
tee activity IS distributed among too
many groups and could effective';/
be accomplished by a single join;
committee. Those committees of the
Congress which are daily going a
- their duties quietly -are never
noticed by the public at large. "We
should remember that a committee
not only secures facts for all of
thb Congress, but it. also serves os
a source of information. Tor the

MART HA WORT’S MAIL
Gay'Talkative Man’s Personal
ity Changed Soon After Be
Married; Wife Is Baffled
DEAR MARY HAWORTH: I re
cently returned froiji a fortnight’s
visit in the home of my married
brother, and while there t came a
ware or a situation that appalled
me. I will thank you for any light
you can shed on the subject.
Tom has been married to my sls
ter-in-laW Terry lor about three
years; and after their marriage,
they settled In the South. He Is
about 32 and she is around 25 today;
and at the time they were courting,
Tom was known to be a gay happy
person and a good conversation
alist.
Three months after marriage,
Tom’s whole attitude and person
ality changed. He became taciturn
and morose and Terry doesn’t know
how to account for the change. If
his purpose Is to punish her, she
doesn’t know In what way she has
offended him. When he does speak
to her, it is in a curt perfunctory
tone, and it sickens me to see a girl
like Terry treated in this manner.
FLASHES CHARM
NOW AND THEN
The strange part is after three
or tour days of such behavior—
or whenever the spirit moves him—
Tom suddenly turns on the charm
and acts human again. We are be
wildered by this Jekyll-and-Hyde
performance and would appreciate
your suggestions, as to what Terry
might do to relieve the situation.
As for their backgrounds, both are
college graduates. Tom holds an
executive position ami reputedly is
genial and affable in the office.
Terry is a polite reserved young wo
man. Can you fathom their dif
ficulty? L. Y.
IN ESSENCE
MAN IS SICK
DEAR L. Y.: It isn’t clear whether
you, the Uneasy observer, are a.
man or a woman. Offhand I took
you to be Tom’s sister;
you are his brother. You manifest
a sympathetic bias towards his wife,
such as a tefnale Ui-law mightn’t
feel in such circumstances.
Tom’s behavior is symptomatic of
emotional Illness; but whether the
disorder is within himseli primari
ly. or whether it has Its origins in
a frustrated relationship to a too
reserved wife is the question.
The first and most serious possi
bility to consider is what Tom may
be ill with incipient paranoia—a
form of pathology that Ts progres
sive and destructive of mental
health if neglected; and remediable
If caught la the early stages. The
hallmark of paranoid personality
fears (or anticipates) betrayal and
abandonment. He is prey to ground
less suspicion that darken his days,
and drive him to reject love and
react to its cruelly.
ON DEFENSIVE
AGAINS* MERGER?
A seccnd posibility is that Tom’s
gay conversational demeanor prior
to marriage was a mask for emo
tional deficiency or psychic im
potence. Perhaps he talked a lot
as a device for keeping his com
panion at arm’s length psychologi
cally. Psychological closeness Can
only develop in an atmosphere of
relaxed sympathetic quietude bet
ween frjepds; and the emotionally
deficient pfefSon dreads the exper
ience fbr which he feels so ill
equipped.
A third possibility i s that Terry
is a frigid Wife, and that Tcm’ Is
a sensitive Retsfen of deep feelings
and great sincerity, who is boyishly
hurt and demoralized her essen
tial unresponsiveneSs; 1 However, this
is the least likely theory, though Tt
may apply. Mare likely, Tom is neu
rotically on the defensive against k
real self giving.
To unravel the problem, Tom and
Terry must talk about It, if not
with each other, then with a specia
list. Tom should have a through
rtianpatJc* check-up and bota 'hus
band anil wife should get psychia
tric help, in teaming how to recon
cile conflicts in a healthy -way. M. H.
