Terrifying possibilities of a Third World War, with an-
nihilation of entire populations by deadly sound waves, death
njrc. and vibrations that could topple whole cities, were re-
cently visualized by General George C. Kenney, Commander
of the Air Forces in the Pacific. He predicts that within ten
years every weapon we now have will be obsolete.
"What I am interested in chiefly is the fact that every
weapon we possess today, whether it is naval, ground or air,
will probably to obsolete in leaa
than a decade," General Kenney
states in an article in the January
issue of Cosmopolitan magazine in
which he strongly urges the uni-
fication of all our aorvicea under
• aingle Depurtment of National
Defense to assure the aafety of
the I'nited State in the event of
s Third World War.
"There is just one way for
America to win the next war if
there ia one--or better yet to make
another one impossible," he states.
"That ia to throw into the junk
heap anything that is outmoded,
obsolete and waateful. By that 1
mean everything out of date,
whether it i* a gun. a tank, a bat-
tleship, an airplane or the inef-
ficient notions of the sentimental."

ijcatmn, (.eneral Kenney quotes I cunii-y
(•eneral MacArthur as aavinir that'' «_ ' j ¡^r8
li
lac Arthur as aaying that
our war in the Pacific would have
ended hix months or a year sooner
if there had lx en one top com-
mand, r instead of two.
" 1'here is something wrong with
üny system that permits one Amer-
ican youngster to he sacrificed
needlessly. If, for example, a cer-
tain job was to have been done on
the first of the month, and dis-
airreements p st poned it until the
second of the month—well, there
wa« a day lout, the war made to
last .me day longer. That meant
more men and hoys were killed,
more men and (my* had to corne
home without lejfs or arms or
eyes."
¡'•u'hing on the terrifying po-
ti ntuilitic ,if future warfare, Gen-
eral Kenney said a whole new
series of experiments had l>ejfiin
"Nobody yet has done much
alwuit Miund and light,'for exam-
ple," he states. "There are degrees
of sound over and almve the ability
of the human ear to rec rd that

MOST PEOPLE BELIEVE that the extension of Social
Security benefits to more people is justified.
Under existing law, Employment Offices are maintained—
under Federal ard State control—to find inbs for the unem-
ployed. Provisions are made for aid to the needy aged, the blind
and for dependent children. Payment are made in cash.
To beneficiaries under the Social Security Act, compensation is
paid during periods of unemployment. Payment are made in
cash. Retirement benefits, death benefits for surviving relatives,
monthly allotments for widows and dependent children, are pro-
vided. The payment are made in cath.
NEW CONCEPT IN SOCIAL SECURITY
The new Wapner-Murray-Dingell Bills would place in the hands
oí the Federal Government responsibility for providing medical
care and hospitalization for all Social Security beneficiaries and
their dependents . Authority is given a single political appointee
to nire doctors and establish rates of pay; to control and operate
hospitals and actually dispense medical care to 110,000,000 people.
So cath payments arc involved. In effect, the Federal Govern-
ment would establish 100,000 retail establishments, man them
and conduct the budines;, of providing medical, dental, hospital
and nursing services fcr the people.
Such procedure would involve making the dc:tor subordinate
to the bureaucrat. It would mean the regimentation of the medi-
cal profession—if it worked. Actually, no laws cou'd regiment
the doctors. They could refuse to serve under conditions which
would result in mechanical and ineffectual service—personal sub-
serviency and professional deterioration.
However, consummation of the plans inevitably would result in
absolute regimentation of the people as far as medical care is
concerned. They would be forced by law to accept such medical
care as could be provided by the politically appointed bureaucrat.
Such a development could be a fatal step toward complete
totalitarian control over the lives and destinies of all men.
DOCTOR REGIMENTATION MEANS LESS EFFECTIVE SERVICE
There are some people who really believe that in bureaucracy's
vast pool of master minds there are individuals fully qualified to
tell farmers what and how much they can sow and when and how
to reap; other individuals competent to tell the oil wildcatter the
sixe of the pipe and depth to which he is permitted to drill; and
yet others with capacity to tell the newspaper editor what he can
print and how he shall treat and headline his dispatches. It may
be true, e
No sane person can believe that any bureaucrat can direct the

rerdering of medical care without actual suicidal deterioration
in the quality and effectiveness of the service that is provided.
It is the ultimate in absurdities.
Unemployment benefits, Old Age benefits, protection for
widows and orphans should be provided for all workers. But
this is far different from having all people dependent on ward
workers to select a doctor to treat a sick child. Such a condition
is unthinkable.
