State Medical
Service Urged
Dr. Purvine Says Heads
" Of State Institutions
Fail to Cooperate
By JAMES D. OLSON
Lack of cooperation between
heads of stale institutions in mat
ters relating to medical services
was said to exist, handicapping
the medical program in these
Institutions, Dr. Ralph Purvine,
chairman of the stale medical
examining board told the state
board of control Tuesday.
Dr. Purvine made a report to
the board covering a six-months'
study made by his bpard of the
entire medical set-up in state in
stitutions. Salary Study Urged
: He told the board that his
group strongly recommended a
thorough study of salaries now
paid medical personnel, .saying
thCit a slight increase in present
salaries would serve to attract
more competent men. There are
seven medical vacancies in the
state institutions at this time.
Dr. Purvine also recommended
that facilities be provided in the
state institutions to permit a "res
idency program, under which
medical graduates after spend
ing two years in internship, could
spend three years In residency
at one of the state institutions,
after which they could take an
examination to qualify, as a spe
cialist. Residency Plan Outlined
The board was told that to do
this would require employment
of one medical man to supervise
the men in residency, Dr. Pur
vine saying that the cost of such
a man would be more than off
set by the services of three men
in residence who would serve
at a comparatively low salary.
Governor Paul Patterson sug
gested that the report be given
a 30-day study during which
time William Ryan, director of
institutions, could obtain the
viewpoints of the superintend
ents of the various state institu
tions on the subject

LOS ANGF.LKS (UP)-An at-
I tnrncy for Mrs. Romellc Roosevelt
said today he has only "scratenco
the surface" in charges of alleged
marital infidelities filed against
James Roosevelt by his estranged
wife.
Arthur Schiffcrman, her attor

new charges if Roosevelt contests
a suit for separate maintenance,
which charged him of committing
adultery with three women and
which named nine others in a let
ter he signed in 1943.
Roosevelt denied the accusations
at a press conference yesterday,
charging the infidelities were "im
aginary" and that the letter had
been used by his wife for "black
mail." His attorney, Samuel Piconc,
said Roosevelt, eldest son of the
late president, may sue his wife
ft.- divorce rather than separation

Grange Chief
For Cotton Plan
ATLANTA, (UP) Herschel
D. Ncwsom, master of the Na
tional Grange, today sought to
sell the nation's cotton farmers
on President Eisenhower's farm
program which includes at least
one sorely criticized feature,
flexible supports.
He also advocated throwing
basic commodities such as cotton
and wheal into world market
competition.
Ncwsom told the 16th annual
National Cotton Council meeting
that "for the most part" the pres
ihn
ident had given congress "the
best analysis of the agricultural
situation it has received in many
years."
But he said the National
Grange has asked Eisenhower
and congress to go further than
the president's proposals in ex
panding the markets for wheat
and cotton before cutting down
the 90 per cent parity program
now in effect.

have asked the U.N. command
whether it will honor requests of
64 anti-Red war prisoners to go
to a "belligerent power", Lt. Gen.
K .S. Thimayya said Tuesday.
For the majority of the 64, that
power is the United States.
Speaking with newsmen after a
short session of the Neutral Na
tions Repatriation Commission,
Thimayya said he has asked the
UNC if it will guarantee that the
men would not be turned over to
South Korea or Nationalist China.
He said that if no assurance is
forthcoming, the prisoners may
have to switch their choice to
neutral nations such as 40 other
prisoners have done.
A special act of Congress might
be needed to admit any of the 64.
