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. It named as defendants the
Oregon State Medical society,
eight county affiliates and eight
doctors, and the Oregon Physi
cians service, a health plan es
tablished by the doctors to com
pete with commercial Insurance
companies.

The , government charged the
defendants with boycotting the

to treat their patients."

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.
