A $278,000 fire partially de stroyed the Merlin lumber mill In Grants Pass early to day. 20 YEARS AGO July 1, 1940 (Monday) The Oregon supreme court said today it will rehear AFL CIO arguments on the consti tutionality of the Oregon un ion control law.

A 100 gallon still was dis covered and smashed near Butte Falls yesterday. 40 YEARS AGO July 1, 1920 (Thursday) The 1920 federal census figures give Medford a popu lation of 5,756 and the count is called a "farce."

The differences arise over how it should be provided. And the differences boil down to these: Should it be financed through the existing machinery of Social Security, with compulsory payroll deductions and employer contributions building up the fund for those now of benefit age and for those who will be ; Should it be handled by a combination of state, federal and commercial insurance plans; Or should the situation remain pretty much as it is, with some governmental help for the needy, and everyone "encouraged' to take out private health insurance . e rVKE American Medical Association, the pro- fessional union of the nation s doctors, favors the third. Here is its official position, as riven in a policy statement passed Delegates at a recent meeting in "Miami Beach : "Personal medical care is primarily the responsi bility of the individual. When he is unable to provide this care for himself, the responsibility should properly pass to his family, the community, the county, the state, and only when all these fail, the federal govern ment, and then only in conjunction with the other levels of government, in the above order. "The determination of medical need should be made by a physician and the determination of eligi bility should be made at the local level with local administration and control. The principle of freedom of choice should be preserved. "The use of tax funds under the above conditions to pay for such care, whether through the purchase of health-insurance or by direct payment, provided local option is assured, is inherent In this this concept and is not inconsistent with previous actions of the House of Delegates of the American Medical Associa tion." 4 THE phrase "socialized scare-words used by the AMA to fight a broad ening of Social Security to provide health serv ices. Which calls to mind ment: "The genius who coined the term 'socialized med icine' but neglected to define it gave the medical profession a handy brick to heave at anyone or any thing that threatens to upset the status quo as set down by the American Medical Association." The United States remains the last great na tion on earth which does not provide medical care for its elderly citizens. In Europe it has been general practice for many years on the J. ? j. s ? , l. T J ! ! l' continent, ana in ureal siiiain, uespue criticism, the national health plan (far more extensive than just a plan for the elderly) has achieved con siderable success and acceptance, although the AMA won't admit it. TTHE current session of congress has backed and ' filled, hemmed and hawed, and done nothing concrete so far on any medical plan. There are, however, four factors which to gether make it still possible that some sort of plan will be enacted this year. The first is the plan to reconvene Aug. 8, after the conventions are completed. This pro vides the necessary time. The second is the still-overwhelming popular support throughout the nation for a workable, realistic plan to provide medical care for the aged. The third is the unexpected action of the Governors' Conference this week in endorsing a plan based on Social Security. The vote was 30 to 13, and crossed party lines. And, fourth, this is an election year. e MOT long ago, Forrest W. Amsden, able ex executive editor of the Coos Bay World, wrote from Washington on this subject. We quote in part: One congressman allowed this writer to riffle - through some of his mail on the subject. It is pa thetic, much of it. The terrible plight of the elderly In the face of illness and accident would seemingly touch the heart of a stone. For example: "I am 75 years oid and I had to have a cancer operation. The doctor's bill was $1,500 and the hospital bill was $1,562 and there has been $2,000 of other expenses. My Insurance took care of about half of this, which has wiped out my savings. What am I going to do?" Try this one: "We are very strong for the Forand bill or one like it. We have Social Security of $148.50 per month and the best hospitalization (insurance) that we can get for our age costs us $75 every three months, and that would only pay 80 per cent of the cost were we to be hospitalized . . ." Or: "My wife is 70 and I am 75. Both of us are still active. Still drive a car. Do you think we should just sit down and do nothing so our $200 per month would last? With 33 children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren, it is hard to sit In our house and not want to visit once in a while. Even if our ailments have put a $2,500 lien against our property." And: "I had to have surgery at the University of hospital and I could not pay the $500 bill as I am 75 years old and cannot work and my Social Security barely covers living costs. They have put put a lien against my house. Please help me." This is similar to many others: "I am 66, nearlng 67, and I would like to retire but cannot. My wife is 57 so I cannot claim Social Security dependency for her for another five years. My Social Security benefit would be $111 per month. In fact, having had cancer surgery . . . and also suf fering from progressive arthritis, I should retire. But my drug bills, prescribed by my physician, average $50 per month. Also there are doctor bills, etc. Social security promises me no freedom from fear. The Forand bill might mean the difference as to whether I could enjoy my last few years or die with my boots on . . ." These are the long promised golden years after a lifetime of contributing to society. Golden years? In the Freedom from fear The AMA says this sponsibility.

Communications Letters io in Editor must bear the name and address of the writer, although under certain circumstances the use of a pan name or initial for publication is permissible. The Mail Tribune reserves the right to edit all letters with a viaw to clarification and condensation. Letters submitted for pub lication must not exceed 400 words. The letters printed in this column do not necossarily represent the views of the paper; in fact the contrary is often the case. Pride and Providence To the Editor: "Noisy min orities" are frequently in the daily news. Why? Objective knowledge points the all too frequent subjective or "im age" technique by writers, which emotionally expresses likes" and "dislikes. Recently, In Japan, "noisy minorities," well organized by pseudo-intellectuals, most of whom follow the Marxist-Freudian-Pragmatist determ ination, which tends to make man's nature exclusively an imal, were almost successful in overturning the majority action of the Japanese Diet. The Japanese premier stat ed: "Violence is not only that of pistols and fists; that of the pen is more dangerous." While minorities and per sons embracing error have rights of freedom of con science, the majority should not submit to the men be hind these "noisy minorities." In the United States, since 1900, the aggregate dally cir culation of newspapers has increased, 4V4 million to 57 V4 million. Today we have a newspaper for every three persons, as comparea io one for every thirteen persons in 1888. Ninety-six (96) per cent of our homes have radios; 83 per cent have television. Are the mass media a failure? Yet. as a nation, we are mis-educated. A United States Supreme Court justice has re cently denounced the press as the "mis-educators" of the people. Like the 2,000 Soviet "itu- ble millionaires," to only five before World War II, all too many of our news writers and commentators have become "journalistic eunuchs. Inter ested only in the fast dollar. It is not the duty of Con gress or any of our state leg islatures to promote all wai is good, or repress all that is evil, erroneous, or minority pressure groups, but only such matters that effect "the com mon good." Most politicians do not care what you say or write about them as long as you spell their name correctly. "Be sure there are two o's in the last name." Like many fresh man football players, they are looking for "ink." If newspapers and commen tators would withhold the name in writing most news articles, just note the person's title, such as, the "junior senator," from the state; not ed that the name may be found on the back page, un der a number; then the great est of all errors or sins would be greatly lessened, namely, "Intellectual pride." Intellectual pride has de stroyed many men, and many nations. "Providence that watches over children, fools, drunk ards and other esoterlca. "Continues to suspend the ordinary rules, "And take care of the Unit ed States of America." Stephen E. Gillis White City, Ore. Satan and Hypnotism To the Editor: Many of your readers have perhaps already read the article on hypnotism In the July Issue of Reader's Digest. I feel that a subject such as this, that Is receiving such widespread Interest, would be well to have some of its history checked out. I may be taken to task for some of the remarks I am about to make. Nevertheless, It is possible for human be ings to place their confidence in something that later will prove their ruin. The masses of humanity are easily led This was proven recently In our Presidents experience, Menace Thousands of persons were ready to do him harm be cause of mob hysteria and a wrong concept of our idea of freedom. While it is true that the American Medical association is looking with favor on hypnotism and its apparent helpfulness. I think It would be well for us to use our own God given mind and ask our selves If this apparent bene factor of mankind does not have a sinister master mind behind it? Recently there fell into my hands some advertising mate rial from one of America's large schools of hypnosis. Many of your readers would turn in shocked horror if they knew what Is really behind this master deception. Don't get me wrong here. Hypno tism is nothing to laugh off or discount, but I am con vinced that its apparent bene fit to mankind is but a cover up to shield human eyes from the real power behind it. Hypnotism has as Its same source the power that has brought all the misery and untold degradation to this world of ours. Many well meaning persons would be startled to know that among related subjects to hypnotism are witchcraft, spiritualism, palmistry, phren ology, mediums, divination, astrology, mind reading, and so on. A full list is given in the encyclopedia. Satan has come unperccived through these "sciences" and has poisoned the minds of thousands, leading them to in fidelity. This plan of the evil one is designed to eventually destroy true faith In Christ's being the Messiah, the Son of God. Some believe this power to be from God. Miracles will and arc being wrought. Yet there is a true and a counter feit. Faith In God's word, prayer fully studied and practically applied, will be our only shield from Satan's power. and will bring us as conquer ors through Christ's blood.

But there's no need to park with hind wheels on the sidewalk so people have to walk on the road. Another thing, It's getting so you can't go out on Front st. without someone bum ming. I even had one lay hands on me. I hardly over sec a cop any more on the street unless he's writing a parking ticket. Another thing, when the city was trying the parking meters out, it came out in the paper what they take in, but never no more. (Name on file.) Medford.

Louis Horn To the Editor: It was my privilege to make the trip to Portland in May to visit the United Appeal agencies. I was Impressed with all of the agencies, but especially with the Louise Home for Girls, and want to share my feelings with others. The Louise Home gives de linquent girls of Oregon a new start. Here, girls from the ages of 12 to 21 receive physical and phychlatric care as well as educational, reli gious and recreational advan tages. This beautifully situated, large, two story home In the distant suburbs of Portland, has facilities to care for 60 girls. However, at the pres ent time there arc 76. In re cent months, a brand new one story dormitory was built, and this is the reception home for the newcomer. Here the unfortunate girl receives com plete medical care, has a clean, modern room of her own, a classroom to continue her schooling, and a recrea tion room where she can have companionship with a few other girls. Through sym pathetic understanding and Intelligent handling, the girls are guided away from their disturbed, emotional situa tions. When the girl has been ori ented, and is on the way back to a happier outlook on life, she is transferred to one of the big main dormitories close by. She then becomes a useful member of the larger group of girls. On the rich farmland ad joining the Home, the girls Help raise numerous vege tables for their own consump tion, as well as for the small children of the Albcrtlna Kerr Nursery, another child care agency. They do much of the canning for the two agencies as well ns'all of the laundry. Among the complete school facilities at the Louise Homo is an attractive sewing room, three kitchenettes where the girls learn this part of home making, and there Is a com pletely cataloged library, The Louise Home Is doing Its best to reduce costs and to pull Us share of its flnnn cial load, but they still need much outside financial help. I hope my letter will bring a better understanding of one of these crucial agencies, which in turn will encourage the people of Medford to ffia Words, Turbulent But Europeans sipping drinks In the sidewalk cafes of Leopoldvlllo remained plainly worried.

Tribal hatreds ran deep and had strong Influ ences on tho Congo's widely split political parties. Knives or the machete solved arguments as often as measured debate.

A State Tax Commission spokesman said the tax office hus received numerous calls from taxpayers due refunds wondering when the checks will arrive. Richard Lockhart, director of the machine accounting services division, said tax of ficials arc working out kinks in the state's new tux refund processing systom-ln force for tho first time this year. He said the department Is between 15,000 to 20,000 re fund checks behind last year's rale. Crews arc working nights, week ends and holi days In order to get the checks out as fast as possible. Aug. 15 is the deadline for the state to have nil refunds In the mall. After thut, the state will begin paying Inter est to taxpayers on their re turns.

Some of these backers, notably Democratic National Chair man Paul Butler, have been almost brutully unwise. So much Is this the case, Indeed, that some Democratic politi cians - Including some Ken nedy well-wishers - are now saying that If ho Is defeated after all, he will owe It to his overzealous friends. Sen. Lyndon B. Johnson's backers, equally plainly, have not put on enough pressure, even mildly, soon enough. ... rpilE Kennedy campaign Is -S- tthlllulltL? i,ln . I, trill clour signs of pnnlc. The Kennedy bandwagon, though by no means hulled dead, lias hit some roadblocks. Tho would turn out to be fairly commonplace If It ever came to light. After all, tho authors had no way of knowing that they wore writing for the ages. Suppose, for Instance, that someone discovered a letter written by Noah's wife to a girlhood chum on the eve of the great flood. Imagine It would go something like this; "Just a line to let you know how much we enjoyed Uie boysenberry Jam you sent. We arc all well here although Noah has been acting a little strange lately. He keeps bring ing home stray animals and Is always tinkering around with that dam boat. "Well, I must close now and got to the kitchen. This Is baking day and the air Is so damp I'm afraid the bread won't rise." Loiter of Noro'i Another Important find would be this excerpt from a loiter thnt Nero wrote to a friend on a fateful evening in Home: "Have been working to night on a new violin concerto but can't seem to got the fin goring right on the cadenza. Things have been very quiet around here. I heard the fire chariot go by Just now but It probably was another false alarm." Or Imagine tho excitement that would be caused by the discovery of a love nolc from Cleopatra to Anthony. "Dear Tony: The next lime you're out by the pyramid please look around and sec if you can find that comb I lost. Love, Clco." Now let- us examine some other examples of as yet un discovered correspondence: Caesar to Brutus - "What ever happened lo thai bill I introduced to make It unlaw ful for Romans to carry con cealed daggers?"
