PAGE SEVEN'- COOPERATIVE PLAN SEEN AS SOLVING HEALTHPROBLEWI Ordinary Practice of Medi cine Is Inefficient and Wasteful, Declares Tar get of Medical Societies Bt E. N. Thompswii (AP Feature Writer) WASHINGTON. "My necV's made of concrete reinforced with steel ao they can't get a crack at It." The deep bass rotce belongs to Dr. Raymond E. Solders, tail, heavy, big-handed man whose name the public will probably learn to recog nize because he's medical director of Group Health association's r.mbattled clinic. Without formality, became he has none, the robust doctor explains that, "they." In this esse, means the American Medical association and the District Medical society. "They" have been flghtlncf OHA since It was organized a year ago. The white-coated doctor, who calls himself a "cornfrd boy from Okla homa." already has charges pending against him by the Harris County Medical society In Houston. Texas, where he once practiced. The society accuses him of "un ethical practice" on the ground that OHA compensation la Inadequate to assure good medical services: that GHA Interferes with reasonable com petition among the doctors In Wash ington, Interferes with the free choice of a physician by a patient and la contrary to sound public policy. Those charges turn up organized medicine's stand' ogalnst such co operative medical experiments as GHA'S. He's a Bellver. But apparently they don't worry Dr. Selders. I Joined the Group Health asso ciation simply because I felt the or dinary practice of medicine was Inef ficient and wasteful,' he slowly ex plains. "If I didnt believe In It I wouldn't be here, rd be back In Oklahoma pushing a plow. The telephone rings and Dr. Sel ders advises a Group Health mem ber to go easy on fried focus In hot weather. "Try broiled steak and milk,' he prescribes and hangs up. With a lighted cigarette that Is al most lost In hfs big freckled hand he settles back In his swivel chair and points to his diploma-covered wall Starts as Surgeon. Dr. Selders has spent nearly 11 years getting college and hospital training. This has netted him five degrees, Including a master s In sur gery; a national board of medical examiners diploma and. twe hpspltal diplomas. He first attended the University of Oklahoma, Interned at Houston, Tex., In St. Joseph's Imtrmary and prac ticed In Texas until the fall of 1935. Then he went to the praduite school of medicine at the University of Pennsylvania for a course In surgery rid became resident surgeon at Wor cester, Mass., city hospital. Dr. Selders says he doertit know exactly: why Group Health associa tion picked him to head this experi ment in cooperative medicine. He came to the clinic first as a surgeon and has moved up to his present post the salary Is 97.200 a year. But he's obviously pleased and his gray eyes snap when he ssys, "Th-? American people can exercise their rights as. American citizens to band together to hire doctors as they wish. "The economics of paying those doctors is something with which the American Medical association should have no concern. They're trying to stifle this thing because It offers j them real competition." j Helps Middle Class Waving his big hands for emphasis, the medical director of a 10 -doc tor clinic, says: "For the average middle class person, treatment under the old system Is prohibitive. Only the very rich and patients In charity hospitals are getting adequate treat ment." By banding together in a group he says, middle class people can hlro several doctors and get th advant age of a well equipped clinic which most physicians can't afford. It alsu brings together several specialists, he contends, which ordinary oople can not afford to pay and gives those specialists the advantage of consulta tion. And because members get con stant attention, he says, they avoid emergency Illnesses. , "It's none of the American Medical r ssoclatlon's business whether we ran run at present rates," he boom. "If we can't well adjust our rate recording!? Group Health association is an or- t k-anlzation of 3.G00 government em- ; ployes In Washington. It oflers med ical and hospital care for 13.20 a month. It is In the news because th department of Justice thinks the American Medical association and it? Affiliated District of Columbia med ical society, vlolsted sntl-trust laws by threatening to expel doctors who accepted employment with OHA. Cooperative medicine Is not the Immediate Issue.

I mIaiI a Di lorlon now riiiuo uiuiuaic nuaoiau Self -Sufficiency, Study Reveals Vast Stores Seen As Bid To Invasion. SAN FRANCISCO (UP) Constant ly new discoveries now being made In Aslatlo Russia Indicate tbe Soviets eventually wilt be the world's most self-sufficient nation la vital mln- ; erals and fuel, according to a survey by the Institute of Pacific Relations. While It is admitted that the al most Incredible amount and vmrlety of minerals now being uncovered open up to the Soviet Union a vast economic and strategic strength, the survey also points out that this vast storehouse of mineral treasure also may constitute a serious menace from the standpoint of powerful and expansion -minded neighbors. Asiatic Russia, the survey said, contains the world's greatest reserves of gold. This fact seems more Im portant as a result of the findings of League of Nations' experts that the gold fields of South Africa will be exhausted within the next 50 years. Vast Oil Reserves The U. S. S. R " the survey said, "possesses today 40 to 60 percent of the world's petroleum reserves and 20 percent of the world's coal sup ply. "It has the world's largest supply of peat. Iron, manganese and more than 35 billion ton reserves of oil shale. "Impressive expansion of eoppei production, nickel output and de posits of other rare metals give evi dence of a Soviet Union virtually independent in Its supply of raw materials." But what the Institute finds ever more impressive fi the fact, it de clared, that no matter how extensive a list Is complied of the known de posits today, future years or even months will continue to swell these totals by new dlscovenes. "The eastern slopes of the Urals, the central Asiatic republics, the great expanses of Kazakhstan and Siberia," the survey said, "have many unexplored region where great min eral wealth may be found Poten tialities exist for the creation of great centers of ferrous metallur based on Aslatlo reserves of coal and Iron, while new oil fields are being discovered and organized In Asiatic Russia and Siberia that will ultl mately render these regions Indepen dent of the reserves In European Russia." Russian chromlte, according to the survey, "now leads the world and during 1937, 23 new beds of ore were discovered. Since i92h several moly bdenum concentration plans have been constructed and new fields found. Tungsten pupply Adequate "Tungsten beds have been found." ' the surveys adds, "which will makr- , the UJS.R.R. completely Independent ', of external supply. Vanadlv-m, antl- mony and mercury have also been discovered In relatively large deposits i Other alloy metals such as magne- site, cobalt and btsmouth are present In abundant quantities. j The survey found that the Soviet Union also possesses rich bauxite de posits so great as to assure all the aluminum necessary for the construc tion of one of the worlds' largest air fleets. Astatic Russia's eopper supply dominates the U-S.S.R.'s output," the survey said, "with the Ural fields yielding about 80 percent ot the na tional supply. By the end of the third five-year plan It is expected that 70 percent of the nation's copper will , come from the new KasaVihstan plants. 'Since the first nickel olant near Chellblnsk was put Into operation In 1934, large nickel combines are be ing erected In the south Urals and Norilsk. It Is expected that hese will put the Soviet Union next to Canada in nickel production." 4 Takes Oregon Job JUNEAU, Alaska, Aug. 12, (AP) Ben 3 rimes, territorial sanitary engi neer, resigned yesterday to accept a position as assistant sanitary engi neer in Oregon.
