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. .

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. The bur
glary victim, a housewife, notic
ed the antenna of her tiny radio
sticking out of Dobner s pocket.
Dobner was arrested.
ATTACKER FOUND
Auburn, Me. U.PJ An excit
ed women , telephoned police
Tuesday to report that a youth
was attacking her husband with
knife. When police arrived at
the scene they discovered the
"attacker" was a snow-suit clad
three-year-old boy. :
