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

Group Health association is an or- t
k-anlzation of 3.G00 government em- ;

MINERAL WEALTH
OF SOVIET GROWS

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."
