Paper Unions Set Merger
Conventions in March
Washington.—A joint convention
to effect merger between the
Paper Makers and the Paperwork-
eft is scheduled to be held at the
Morrison Hotel in Chicago on
March 5, 6, and 7.
Each international union will

Detroit—A New voluntary or-
ganization aimed at offering com-
prehensive prepaid medical and
health care in the Detroit area,
sparked by the Auto Workers, gets
off to a start with a conference
on the quality of medical care here
on Jan. 11 and 12. Forty-six physi-
cians of national and local promi-
nence have been invited to par-
ticipate.
Established is the Community
Health Association, it proposes to
try and improve upon the services
offered by existing plans, especial-
ly in the area of preventive medi-
cine.
It was set up in October by
labor, business, religious and edu-
cational directors. Also on the
board are UAW Sec.-Treas. Emil
Mazey and Vice Pres. Marion
Macioce of the Detroit Building
Trades Council.
Reuther explained that prevail-
ing health insurance plans deal
with but a small part of medical
care.
“They over-emphasize hospitali-
zation and surgery,” he said. “At
best, they cover only about one-
third of the average family's medi-
cal bill. Many of the benefits are
hedged in by cash limits that leave
the patient with large bills for
services he thought were covered.
Gross overcharges for doctors’
services are commonplace.
“Contrary to basic precepts of
modern medicine, few plans make
any provision for preventive care
or encourage early diagnosis of
illiness."
The association’s program is not
completed, but will be offered the
health conference as a basis for
discussion. It is expected to pro-
pose medical care at both home
and office or factory; preventive
diagnostic services; and surgery,
hospitalization and other services
such as X-rays.

Bro. W. L. Norris has been back
in the Veterans’ Hospital, but we
• understand that he is going home
about Wednesday of this week.

With Congress in session and
. the State Legislaure in session, we
can soon see the results of last
year’s elections. With the large
industrial areas voting for anti-
labor candidates, we can not hope
for any relief at our representa-
tives’ hands. The writer does
not know the answer and wishes
some one could come up with the
right one as to how to get the
working people to vote for their
own interest, instead of jumping
off on side issues that does not put
meat in the smokehouse.
Bro. Frank Becker, who has
been in the Naval Air Corps, re-
turned from the service this week.
He is looking fine and as soon as
he can make a few contacts, will

time member of 198.
