Newspaper Page TextPAGE EIGHT THE BEND BULLETIN, BEND, OREGON WEDNESDAY, MARCH 15. 1950 Man Embalmed Alive, Widow Claims, in Suit Quincy, Calif., March 15 HP) Mrs. Calhoun L. Huber of Los Angeles accused two Plumas county officials today of causing the embalming of her husband while he was still alive. In a $200,000 damage claim fil ed with the county board of su pervisors, Mrs. Huber aslo charg. es that facts in the case "were fraudulently and maliciously con cealed to prevent bringing a cause of action." Named in the claim were Coro. ner M. H. Schooler and Deputy coroner John r. Moody. The wi dow claimed that her husband. Edward J. Huber, was taken to Moody s funeral home In yuincy on Schooler's instructions. Her husband, she declared, was not examined by a physician and no attempt was made to revive him. Huber was reported dead from an apparent heart attack by fel. low workers at a construction camp near Belden, Calif., on Jan. ; 11, 1949. Mrs. Huber charged that her , husband was taken to the funeral home and embalmed without per mission from any local health of flcei The cause of death was given by Moody as "coronary oc clusion" without any actual knowledge as to the cause of death, she added. She said she was not notified and her wishes were not con. suited. In addition, she was charged $175 for embalming services when by statute the amount to v be paid is only $15, she said. "It is believed," Mrs. Huber as i serted, "the death of my husband was caused by the negligent, care less and unlawful action of Moody as deputy coroner." The widow said when she learn ed her husband received no ex. amination. she suffered "mental anguish, shock and physical suf fering" for which she is asking damages. The county recorder's office said the death certificate on file there shows no physician's signa ture and gives the cause of death as "coronary occlusion." It is signed by Moody. District attorney Frank H. Mc Auliffe said he will advise the board to disallow the claim on the basis of time clement and the facts contained In the claim. He did not make further comment.

Altered System of Price Support Payments Planned Bv Vlnwnt J. Burke (United I'raut SUff Corr.tuinU'iit) Washington, March 15 iU'i The government plans to use a new system for handling price sup ports on this year's crops of wheat, flaxseed and soybeans. The system may save taxpayers millions of dollars. Some farmers may not like It. The agriculture department has not yet announced the system, but officials said it has been ap proved by Secretary of agricul ture Charles F. Brann'an. Under the new system the grower and not, the government would foot the storage bill for surpluses of these crops from harvest time until the govern ment actually takes title to the crops the following spring. That means many growers will "net" less than the support puice for surpluses turned over to the government. In fact, only those growers who use their own bins to store these crops would be able to net the full support price. Precedent Seen That's the way price supports always have operated for corn, barley and other feed grain crops which are largely larm-siorea. Hitherto wheat, soybeans and flaxseed ' have received special treatment. They are crops which largely flow off farms into coun try elevators and terminal ware houses at harvest-time. Under the old system all grow ers of these, three crops netted the full support price for sur pluses' turned over to the gov. ernment. Some growers got more than the support price. The gov ernment paid warehouse charg es (usually about 10 or 11 cents a bushel) outstanding against price support wheat, flaxseed and soybeans it took over in the spring. The (farmer who held these crops on his farm under price support loans got an extra seven cents a bushel above the support price - the following spring. This payment was qalled a "storage fee.". . - . The Pacific coast states, Wash ington, Oregon and California, have produced 21 per cent of the population growth in the U. S. since 1920. .
