WEDNESDAY, MAY 1. 1332 A 5 Russian is Being f urged Under Guise of Agricultural Reforms MEDFOHD MAIL TRIBUNE, MEDFOBD. OREGON Premiers, Parly .Chiefs, Several Others Feel Axe London -fflPB- Under the in nocent guise of agricultural reforms a sweeping purge is taking place in Russia. It already has claimed pre miers, party chiefs and an un told number of other officials high and low. - Diplomatic dispatches reaching here today said the purge, which began quietly a few months ago and gained "momentum in recent weeks, ' apparently is not yet com pleted. The mastermind behind it Is Premier Nikita S. Khrush chev. By all appearances he is making sure his men are ' slipping into the vacancies . and assuring absolute party control over the politicians in the state machinery. No Bloodshed The purges have lost the grim brutality of the Stalin era. Firing squads are out of . fashion. The victims usually .get alternative jobs. But all indications are that this cold process of "substitution" is no . less effective. The purges have followed Khrushchev's tour of the . Soviet republics and his pro claimed dissatisfaction with . the way the country's agricul ture fell short of expectations. Officials have been accused of laxity, lying, mismanagement and graft. Most of the new men have three main characteristics: They are relatively young, members of the Communist party and personally loyal to . Khrushchev. List Impressive ' 'The recent'job changes that have been announced - and there are many others that have been kept quiet-make an impressive list: Averki Aristov, member of the Soviet Presidium and deputy chairman of the party bureau of the Soviet Russian Republic, was removed from policy - making councils and sent to Poland as ambassador. He was replaced by G. I. Voronov, one of Khrushchev's latest proteges. -Agriculture Minister Vlad imir Matskevitch was sent to Kazakhstan. - Nikifor Kalchenko was .dismissed as prime minister 1 of the Ukraine and replaced by Vladimir Sherbitsky of the Ukrainian Communist party. -". -Mikhail Roginets was fired .as minister, of agriculture in Kazakhstan. . -V. N. Titov was fired as Karkov regional party secretary. The list is by no means complete but it reflects the scope of the purge. The num ber of lesser officials involved is said to be considerable.

The clinic is operated by the health association for the public, and is open each Thursday afternoon and the first Wednesday evening each month. The clinic will be open between 7 and 9 o'clock tonight, and 2 to 5 p.m. Thursday. The association's report showed that of the 2,877, ap proximately 12 per cent were found to have a chest condi tion which was referred to their family physician - for further study or checking. In some cases, the condition is found to be of no significance, the committee said. Of those referred to phy sicians, one per cent wese re ferred for further study of suspected active tuberculosis. In addition to tuberculosis, the x-rays are read by radi ologists for other chest ab normalities, such as lung can cer, heart ponditions and em physema, according to Lowell Iverson, chairman of the case finding committee. New Confirmed Cases There were 16 new con firmed cases of tuberculosis in Jackson county during 1960, he said, with 11 new ones so far in 1961. There are 158 tuberculosis patients on the register at the health department under supervi sion. While it is fine that 2,877 people had screening x-rays in I960, still it is felt a more intensive check is needed of segments of the population where tuberculosis incidence is known to be high and in cluding elderly people." Dr. A, E. Merkel, county health officer stated. Mrs. C. Ivan Burton, direc tor of the x-ray clinic said that while it is not required by law, more and more food handling establishments, such as restaurants and markets, feel it is a good practice, for the protection of their cus tomers and employees to see that the employees have an nual chest x-rays. to EXCHANGE VIEWS-Labor Secretary Arthur Goldberg, right and Canadian Labor Minister Michael Starr have worked out an arrangement for a "continuing exchange ot views and information" on unemployment, automation and other problems in their governmental fields. .
