they would federalize the schools.   They say it would be of great
service to the public, that for palaver, but the real object is another brace of managerial jobs 'for machine politicians, arid the
public be damned.
Of course a situation like that in Chicago, where the boy was
hit by a car, skull fractured, and no doctor available,—or out
Dixieway where Robert Cunningham was fatally hurt, and the
ambulance came with tortoise dispatch,—is enough to aggravate
acceptance of most any sort of change, but better to be cautious
about jumping from the -frying-tpan into the fire. Better a law
canceling any medic's license who declines an emergency call,—or
imposiftg some otljer penalty tending to reconvent the "fraternity" from a purely "commercialized business'.' into something of
a "profession."   The Roseland ambulance story is denied.
No, we don't want a medical bureau, situs in Washington, to
minister to our ills,—-through some local autocrat, to hand out
the assignments. We have seen how that works through OPA,
WFA, WPB, WMC, ETC., in matters, though less critical, yet
critical enough—to convince any thinking person that we have
enough of it, and that the more critical the situation may be, the
less dependable newdeological socialization becomes.
