A 5
Russian
is Being f urged Under Guise of Agricultural Reforms
MEDFOHD MAIL TRIBUNE, MEDFOBD. OREGON

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.

1980, according to the x-ray
committee of the Jackson
County Tuberculosis and
Health association.
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.
