Josephine. County Doctors Jo Form Own Insurance Plan 'Grants Pass Members of the Josephine County Medical society this Week voted to with draw from Oregon Physicians service, and to form their own medical insurance plan.' The., new - organization will take over all local OPS medical care contracts, according to Dr. V. E. Mikkelson, society presi dent. He said there would be no interruption of service to pres ent OPS subscribers. The doctor added that society members be lieve they can offer more service per premium dollar under the local plan, without losing the right of the subscriber to con sult with specialists. A new company will be formed to put the plan into execution. The action was taken as a re sult of OPS decision, to refrain from recognizing local pools for medical insurance. Doctors in Jackson county still have arrived at no decision regarding similar action. The subject has been discussed at several recent meetings of phys icians here, but the organization here still retains its affiliation with the state wide OPS. .

SEE YOUR ELECTRICAL DEALER THE CALIFORNIA OREGON POWER COMPANY A Western Company owned and operated by Western People Democrat Attack on Employment Policy Claimed Distortion , Washington (U.FD National Republican Chairman Leonard W. Hall charged today that the Democratic attack on the admin istration's employment policy is "the worst campaign of misrep resentation and distortion ' in history. , ' At the same time the CIO took sharp issue with the October un employment figures made public by the President ftfonday and discussed by Labor Secretary James P. Mitchell In a nation wide address Tuesday night. A SDokesman. for the union's Political Action committee said the figures are "just guesses." He asserted they are necessarily incomplete this early in the month, subject to considerable error, and an inadequate reflec tion of slashed work weeks that have meant "less income for workers." . . : : Crsdit 'Jobs. Without War' Mitchell credited the adminis tration's "jobs without war" pro gram for a 358,000 drop in un employment early this month and denounced the "scare" tac tics of the Democrats. Mitchell's figure was somewhat below the 400,000-man drop Mr. Eisen hower reported Monday. The secretary's address was part of the administration's all out offensive against unemploy ment fears in this final week of the 1954 congressional election campaign. Hall followed quickly with a statement today. He charged that former Presi dent Truman told a newspaper interviewer in 1050 that 3,000, 000 to 8,000,000 unemployed is a "supportable" figure and that it is a "good thing that job seeking should go on at all times." This fact, said Hall, "unmasks the hypocrisy" of the Democrat- tic "gloom and doom brigade." He said, it is part of the Demo cratic strategy of "big lies king-size whoppers." The Democratic National com mittee and Democratic election campaigners declined to com ment on the new unemployment report. Sen. Paul Douglas of Illi nois, one of the most outspoken of the administration's critics, said the pressure -of "his cam paign prevented him from study ing the figures. - ' ' ' A Commerce department re port made public Tuesday night shed additional light on the un employment figures cited by Mr. Eisenhower and Mitchell. It said that total employment remained about the same, at 62,100,000, while unemployment dropped to 2,741,000. This is possible with students and housewives moving in and out of the labor market Decline 'About Average' The report also said the un employment decline this time of year normally is "considerable." Actually, it said that the decline among adult men mostly bread winners was "about average" at 100,000. It added, however, that the overall drop was some what bigger than usual, especial ly among women, Normally, the October unem ployment figures would not have been made public until Nov. 7 after the elections. But Census Bureau Director Robert W. Bur gess said Viis agency compiled them earlier than usual on or ders handed down from higher ups. . WALKED INTO IT Albany, Ga. (U.PJ While po lice were investigating a theft at a home here Lloyd Dobner, an airman at Turner Air Force Base, walked ' up to find out what was going on.
