Medical Society Head Praises Decision in Anti-Trust Lawsuit Portland (U.R) The presi dent of the Oregon State Medi cal Society Tuesday praised the U. S. Supreme Court's decision to throw out the government's anti-trust charges against doc tors in Oregon who set up their own medical Insurance plan. Dr. Blair Holcomb said the great step forward In approving prepaid medical care plans sponsored by the society and that the court had recognized the privilege and duty of the medical societies to safeguard professional standards. Said Sharp Setback "In my opinion this decision is a sharp setback for the Ad ministration forces in their cam paign to regiment the American people and the American medi cal profession under a federal compulsory health insurance system," Dr. Holcomb said. He charged that if the gov ernment had nropcrly under stood the problems involved, it would have spared the taxpay ers and defendants the costs of an appeal to the supreme court. Charges Found Unproven The court voted 7-to-l Mon day on an opinion written by Justice Robert H. Jackson that the government "has not clearly proved its charges." The suit was filed In October, 1948.

(Internatimet) Governor Warren Knocked Out Slot Machines Sacramento California's Gov ernor Earl .Warren, Republican presidential candidate in the May 16 Oregon primary, has a 30 year record for fighting against corruption In government a record that has won nationwide recognition. As a young district attorney In Alameda county across the Bay from San Franciscei he found it necessary to send a num ber of city and county officials to prison. He was successful in driving organized criminals out of his county. As state attorney general and as governor, Earl Warren has turned the searchlight of public opinion against organized crime and has made California an un healthy place for such criminals to operate. Following revelations of a Commission on Organized Crime which he appointed, wire serv ices to bookmakers in California have been virtually eliminated, slot machines have been effec tively outlawed, and state in come tax laws have been strengthened to take much of the profit out of crime. The pattern of gangster ac tivity exposed by the California Crime Commission has been util ized by nntionnl crime investi gators and has inspired federal legislation. Governor Warren believes that a strengthening of the tax laws, if applied on a national scale, could put an end to all rackets. "There is no reason why an il legal business should be entitled to deduct from its profits the cost of its illegal activities in circumventing the law," he says. "If these racketeers had to pay federal income tax on their gross revenues the taxes would be so great there would be no more profit and no more Incen tive to engage In Illegal activities." First NSLI Checks il 21st As Gl Dividends First checks representing In dividual shares of the 1952 di vidend payment on national service life insurance policies were mailed April 21 for dis tribution to veterans living In the Pacific Northwest, according to the Veterans Administration. After dividend processing gets into full swing, the VA said, it is expected that a total of ap proximately 35,000 checks will be turned out each week to the Pacific Northwest. Computation and payment of the "G.I." insurance dividend will be done in the sequence of anniversary dates, and the divi dend unit is now working on eligible polices with January, February and March anniver saries, the VA representatives state. No dividend will be paid until the 1952 anniversary date of the policy. Covers One Year Unlike the two previous divi dend payments, the 1952 divi dend covers only a one - year period from the 1951 to 1952 policy anniversary dates. Pre vious payments covered several years and were classified as spe cial dividends. Policies which have been In force under premium-paying conditions for three consecutive months or longer since their 1951 anniversary dates are eligi ble for a share of the $200 mil lion dividend going to approxi mately 5 million veterans. Under Public Law 36, policy holders who wish to receive their 1952 dividend in cash must so notify the VA on a special card already furnished them, or in writing, to the VA district office at Fort Snelling, Minn. About 67 per cent of the eligi ble policyholders served by the Fort Snelling district office have requested cash payment, accord ing to VA officials. n77nn?7 J-M PANELS AND PLANK HAVE Flame-Resistant Finish NO EXTRA COST!
