Socialized Plan Of Medicine Gets Skarp Criticism Stanley M. Richmond, Eugene physician, yesterday told a Rose burg chamber ol commerce for um luncheon audience to "hold on to the present medical set-up and try to Improve what we have" rather than initiate social ized medicine plans. Dr. Richmond declared a bet ter solution than socialized med icine to demands lor improved medical aid is the pre-paid health plan idea now offered the public by many agencies. He termed these plans thrifty methods of preparing for future emergencies and declared they should be em phasized by appealing to citizens' pocketbooks. Many of the arguments put forth by proponents of socialized medicine Dr. Richmond said were "lies and falsified high sounding statements." Speaking in a slow Texas drawl, the Eugene physician re futed several arguments ex pounded by advocates of socializ ed medicine. He said declara tions that a health emergency ex ists In this country are not true and is only a reflection of the current belief a "crisis govern ment." He said the U.S. is not afflicted- by nation-wide poor health, but on the contrary, has the highest health standard of any major country In the world. Statistics Assailed Statistics and tables cited by proponents of socialized medicine are often falsified, the doctor said. "So far, people have always had to die from something," Dr. Richmond said, "and the reason more people are struck by can cer and heart diseases is because medical science has advanced to the point where, people reach a more advanced age and are more susceptible to these afflictions." He ridiculed "idealistic, paper plans" for dealing with public problems because "unfortunately, we're dealing with human nature and not with angels." He cited some laws of human nature, which included the idea that ev erybody wants something for nothing or for money or effort paid out. Under these headings, Dr. Richmond pointed up the weaknesses of the socialized med icine scheme currently being tri ed in England. "People in England, not basi cally different from Americans, are jamming doctors' offices to the point where a doctor or den tist must search frantically through the crowd in an effort to find the most ill persons then he has an average of five or six minutes to devote to each," he said. He pointed out other failures In the English plan, stating that the government there has had to "welsh" on many of its promis ed benefits and that only ten per cent of the total cost of the plan is being financed by payroll de ductions, intended to foot .the en tire bill. '' ' - ' ' Speaking of health efforts in this country, Dr. Richmond said the American Medical associa tion is sponsoring efforts to im prove all aspects of the nation's health. He said the shortage of doctors in the U.S. is being al leviated; more than triple the number of doctors graduated in the five years prior to the war have been turned out in the last five years.

Farm Production Holds But Prices, Income Decrease What can farmers expect In 1950? In answer to that question, E. Harvey Miller, chairman of the Oregon State PMA committee, brought back from the National PMA conference, held at Mem phis, Tenn., this month, the fol lowing analysis presented by O. V. Wells, chief, Bureau of Agri cultural Economics. "Farm production is holding at a high level. Food production for sale or home use is again 35 per cent above the pre-war, or 1935-39 level this year and, with average yields, the over-all volume is not likely to be much different in 1950. Wheat production was 50 percent over the pre-war level. "Farm prices and Incomes are drifting downward. Farm prices so far this fall have been running about 12 percent under a year ago and 22 percent under the peak recorded in January 1948. Prices paid are another story, running only about 3 percent un der a year ago, about 4 percent under January 1948. Let's say It another way. Prices received by farmers have been declining at about 4 times as fast a rate as prices paid with most of the de cline In prices paid or in farm costs tracing back through de clines which farmers themselves must absorb in prices paid to purchase feed and food. "The result of these differen tial movements In prices receiv ed by farmers versus prices paid for goods used In farm family liv ing and production are easily un derstandable. First, the net in come of farm operators is declin ing more than farm prices, de spite high level production, and, second, support prices and other iarm program devices are be coming Increasingly important. "Some simple statistics may il luminate these Items: The net realized income of farm opera tors for this calendar year is now estimated as not much over 14 billion dollars as compared with 18 billion dollars In 1947, the rec ord year, and there are some Indications that farm operators' net realized income may be as low as 12 billion dollars next year, or down one-third from 1947." r I Vital Statistics Marrlaae Licenses Issued KING-McLAUGHLIN John Talmage King and Barbara Jane McLaugmm, both of Roseburg, Prosecution In Bridges Trial Rests In 36th Day SAN FRANCISCO. Jan. 17 The prosecution rested in the Harry Bridges perjury case Mon day. The move by the government was a distinct surprise. The trial of the CIO Longshore leader was in its Jbtn aay. The government had put a mi nor witness on the stand for a few minutes this morning. men t. Joseph Donohue arose. "The government rests," he said. Vincent Halllnan. chief of at torneys for Bridges, appeared incredulous. "What!" ha exclaimed. "The government rests? You're not go ing to produce any more wit nesses? No Rathborne? Nobody else?" "The government rests." Don ohue said quietly. ine reference was to Mervyn Rathborne, former state CIO sec retary and one time confidante of Bridges. Two women, Bridges' sympathizers, have been indict ed on a charge they tried to per. suade Rathborne to shape his testimony as iney suggested. Bridges, born in Australia, was indicted on a charge that when his naturalization hearing was held in 1945 he swore falsely that he had never been a Communist. Two other Longshore leaders, Henry tjrhmidt and J. R. Robert son, his witnesses at the citizen ship hearing, are co-defendants, charged with conspiracy in the same connection. Donohue, chief government prosecutor, produced numerous witnesses who testified they had been Communists and had seen Bridges at Communist gather ings. The last government witness was Mrs. Georgina Vermillion. who testified as to naturalization records of Henry Schrimpf, prosecution witness.

PROCESS BUFFALO MEAT SYDNEY, Australia (m A buffalo meat processing plant may shortly be established in Northern Australia. About 17,000 head of buffalo are shot each year in the area between Dar win and the Alligator river, 150 miles eastwards. Hunters take only the hides, leaving carcases to rot. The company intends to process the buffalo carcases into bonemeal, meatmeal, and fertilizers. Proposed Rules Change Threatens Truman Program WASHINGTON. Jan. 17 UP) President Truman reportedly has urged legislative leaders to op pose vigorously a proposed change in the House rules which threatens nis "lair dear pro gram. These reports came after the f (resident's usual Monday meet ng with Democratic congression al leaders. House Speaker Rayburn was reported to have told Mr. Tru man that the coming House vote on a proposal to restore a life and death grip on legislation to the House rules committee may be extremely close. The committee has approved a resolution to scuttle the present rule under which a standing com mittee chairman If recognized by the speaker can call up for House action a bill which has been before the rules group for 21 days. Mr. Truman was said to regard this proposal as a severe threat to enactment of some of his "fair deal" measures which are oppos ed by Southern Democrats and Republicans. Some administration leaders said they must have White House help in their fight to prevent the rules change. Defense Rests In Alger Hiss Trial NEW YORK, Jan. 17 OT) The defense rested Monday fn the second perjury trial of Alger Hiss, former high state depart ment official. Claude B. Cross, Hiss' counsel, announced "the defense has con cluded Its evidence" after its 54th witness had been excused. The trial began Nov. 17 before Federal Judge Henry W. God dard and a iurv of eleht women and four men. Monday was the I 36th court day. The prosecution announced that it would introduce rebuttal testimony. Earlier a defense psychologist changed his mind and said Whit taker Chambers' statement that he considered himself a better Communist than Josef Stalin did not prove anything about Cham bers' mental state. The witness was Dr. Henry A. Murray of Harvard university, who testified last week that Chambers' remark about himself In relation to Stalin was evidence of "grandiose Ideas." The trial is expected to go to a federal court Jury this week. MILK CONTAINERS USE WASHINGTON WP) Here's a use for empty milk cartons at last.
