John Cough lin, Portland, attor ney for the state medical society, said the measure would infringe on the authority of county courts and take away their power to de termine . who shall practice in county hospitals. It further was charged by Coughlin that class A hospitals would lose their ratings if they were opened to doctors other than medical doctors. Dr. Thomas M. Joyce, . profes sor of surgery at the University of Oregon medical school, said this loss of rating would force the school to cancel its arrangement with the Multnomah county hos pital, whereby the school provides the medical and nursing Staffs. -We want to get the American College of Physicians and Sur geons to approve our county hos pital but we cannot get that ap proval if the : hospital Is opened to everyone."
