5 8 Page Four ~ POST-WAR CRED PROBLEMS STUDIED Speaker Urges Co-opera- tion With Local Credit Bureaus A Local D.A:R. Hear Timely Discussion (Cont med from page one) very kindly offered to copy these. | Reports from the state conference at Philadelphia were given by Mrs, J. V. Foster of State College and (Mrs, Charles F*. Mensch, | Mr. Love discussed the iment to the Social Security Act con- ‘tained in the Dingell Bill" cussion to Title IX of the amend- ment which relates primarily to the socialization of hispital medical care. He pointed out that everyone who earned $150 in any four cal- endar quarters was covered by the provisions of the amendment. All administrative powers ‘would be vested in the Surgeon General, who would exercise dictatorial powers in prescribing the treatment available, designating physicians to render medical service and limiting hos- pital benefits. The Social Security Board would exercise powers over contracts between the surgeon gen- eral and hospitals, There will be no choice of physicians avallable for persons desiring medical attention. The indicated contributions from employes, as well as self-employed, would amount to $8,344,000000 an- nually since from 7 to 12 per cent of income and wages must be paid in. The blll provides for disburse- ment of $2,220,000000 and is silent with respect wiint disposition 1s to be made of the Indicated surplus $5,945,000 000 Mr. Love called attention to the existing plans for medical and hos- pital services obtainable through Blue Cross, insurance and state aid. The eflect of the amendment, Uf passed, would tend to destroy local self-government and to vest abeo- lute powers In the surgeon-general, thus effecting the health of work- ers thelr families by the rule of one man. It also js an extension lof the system whereby administra- tive officials exercise the function of the courts and make determinations and rules which the courts have no power to review, This system ls for- elgn to the form of goverment of the United States A cisam— {has Plans for establishing consumer credit on a sound basis in the post- war era were outlined at a dinner sponsored by the Bellefonte Cham- ber of Commerce and the Centre County Credit Association at the Brockerhoff Hotel last Wednesday night The plans were reviewed by James D. Hayes, of Harrisburg, well known national authority on credit plan- ning and manager of the Harrisburg Credit Association Approximately 35 persons attended the dinner According to Mr. Hayes, during six months immediately following the war, a community of 5000 may expect that $56,250 will be spent for electrical appliances, $33,000 for home furfishings and $297,000 for building activities. Such an expenditure will necessi- tate close cooperation between mer- chants und their credit bureaus If dangerously uncontrolled eredit is Ww be avoided, he sald Taxes will be the first claim on income, he continued, and with re- duced incomes families will have to be given an opportunity to adjust themselves to a modified spending program. During this period, he said, it will be he duty of the merchant to enforce credit obligations in keeping with the famlly Income Mr. Hayes advised merchants check with thelr credit bureaus sll [nective sccounts now so that when requests for credit are made the facts of individual cases will be available. The speaker stressed the impor- tance of furnishing credit bureaus with all avallable information and of obtaining pertinent information from the bureau before granting credit to either new or old accounts to Ol 54) ol ahd Armstice Program | Held aot High School Students of the Bellefonte High {School attended an Armistice pro- {gram held in the school auditorium {yesterday morning under the spon- sorship of Brooks-Doll Post, Amer- fcan Legion with Horace J, Hart- ranft, commander of the post, As master of ceremonies : | Devotional services led by Rev.
