Congress to Debate Health Bills at Second Session
The 80th Congress, meeting January 6, will focus on national health measures with annual appropriations up to 300 million dollars. Health officials say illness causes six times more lost work hours than strikes or lockouts, linking health to production and labor issues.
Causes for Alarm Over Rising Costs and Election Impact
The piece argues both major parties fear the ongoing rise in living costs affecting voters in 1948. It suggests prices and wages will keep increasing and criticizes Congress for inaction. It contends voluntary cooperation from big business failed and that mandatory controls may become necessary.
