...CRIMSONS: A short time ago a great many Harvard students and professors attended the second Theodore Spencer Memorial Lecture given by the Broadway and Hollywood director Elia Kazan. From the title of the lecture ("Show Business and the Realities") and from Prof. Levin's introductory remarks ("bridge the gap between drama on the page and drama on the stage"), they must have expected a firsthand account of the problems of directing and staging some of the best movies and plays of recent years.

Last week Harry Truman moved to fill the gap.

The Administration bill, which the President this year tried to revive after the AMA's sitting army snuffed it out last year, shows no grounds for these fears. There is a wide gap between government aid and government control. Under the bill, medical schools would receive a fixed sum for each student, to use as they see fit. The only hint of control is the Public Health Council, composed mostly of doctors, who would check each school every few years to make certain...
