Newspaper Page Text14 A FRIDAY. APRIL 20. 1962 MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE. MEDFORD. OREGON Lobbyists Report On Expenditures To Influence Congress - By Congraiaional Quarterly Washington - Washington lobbyists reported that they .spent $3,770,108 in 1961 to : Influence Congressional be- havior. For what it's worth, 2 that is about 1 250,000th of j the total amount Congress ap ' propriated in its 1961 session. : The reported lobby spend i ing may be insignificant com- pared with the intangible in- fluence of lobbyists upon na ( tional legislation, but the ; amount of money lobbies say ; that they spent does not nec ! essarily represent the true pic 1 ture. This is because the vag . aries of the 1946 Federal Reg ; ulation of Lobbying Act make ' it unclear Just who has to re ; port what. The Congresisonal Quarter- ly survey for 1961, for ex ' ample, showed that 312 lobby ! organizations reported their expenditures to influence leg islation during the year. There i are many others who maintain that they do not have to re port under the law, although - their activities are similar to ; those who reported. Since the law was passed, nearly 600 (. pressure groups have filed re- N ports with the clerk oi tne . House. N Doesn't Apply ! In 1954, the Supreme Court -i ruled that the lobby law was limited to "direct communica- .tion with members of Con- egress." Many groups maintain "vthat the law therefore no longer applies to them be cause they rto not engage in direct communication with members and their function is not to influence legislation but to "inform ' or "educate members of their organiza tions and the public. The National Association of manufacturers, for example, has not filed a spending report since 19S0. Other prominent national groups which did not file spending reports in 1961 were American Bankers asso ciation, Americans for Con stitutional Action, Americans for Democratic Action and the TIMBER ROOM CAFE 75 Complete LUNCHES Up Complete DINNERS 100 Up Featuring MEXICAN FOODS From I P.M. to 10 P.M. 5 SO. RIVERSIDE American Public Power asso ciation. Another source of spending which Is difficult to pin down is that reported and a great deal unreported by individ ual lobbyists, such as lawyers and public relations men, who may have worked on behalf of national organizations. Top Spenders Among those organizations who did report 1961 lobby expenditures, the two highest were the American Medical association, which reported spending $163,405, and the national headquarters of the AFL - CIO, which reported spending $139,919. Add other labor groups' and Individuals' spending to this and the total reported spend ing on behalf of labor was $924,885. The 171 business groups re ported a total of $1,598,091. The AMA fell among the 17 professional groups whose re ported spending totalled $376, 912. Olher top spenders: Ameri can Farm Bureau Federation, $111,364; American Legion, $103,566; U. S. Savings and Loan League, $101,801; Na tional Farmers Union, $88,273; American Trucking associa tions, $84,988; National Com mittee for Insurance Taxation, $73,012; District Lodge No. 44, International Association of Machinists, $71,737; National Housing Conference Inc., $68 675; International Brother hood of Teamsters, $68,012. National Federation of In dependent Businesses Inc., $55,938; National Association of Electric Companies, $55, 205; American Steamship Committee on Conference Studies, $54,028; National As sociation of Home Builders, $93,712; Nation-Wide Commit tee of Industry, Agriculture and Labor on Import-Export Policy, $53,101; National Edu cation association, $51,910; Na tional Retail Merchants, $51,- 042; National Association of Letter Carriers, $50,920. It Worth It? Is all this spending worth the money? That's hard to pin down, too, but the doctor s organization, the top spend ers in 1981, were hoping to keep the Kennedy administra tion's plan for medical care for the aged under Social Se curity bottled up in the House Ways and Means committee. That's Just what happened. This year, the AMA will keep trying and it's still a 50-50 The Medical Roundup f f . V Emerltm Cc (Refiner onsultant 1b Mayo clinic Protestor of Mayo Clinic and Trlbuna 1 1962) - and still the pain continued. Recently, I read an article in which the great Swedish nerve surgeon, Dr. Olive- c r o n a, presented evidence which much strengthens the hunch I have long had, that the injury which makes the pain is not out in the skin, but up in the brain. This would explain why no amount of treatment applied to the skin or the local nerve is likely to do any good. Under these circumstances, I think the patient ought to be given sedatives, especially at night. Hypnosis In the last few years, hyp nosis has again become fash ionable and, as a result, of late, many people ask me to find for them a well- trained and t r u stworthy and reputable hypnotist. Such persons and deter mined they Aivre are going to try hypnosis as a cure for a backache, or over-weight, or chain-smoking. According to Drs. Harold Rosen and Leo H. Bartemeier, hypnosis can be useful in medicine, but it is likely to be helpful rather than curative, and I would add, the cure is not likely to come from one session. For a while, nypnouc suggestion can help the per son to overcome some anxiety, apprehension, or itching. Several persons have come to ask if I would find a hyp notist to cure their psychosis. I talked about this to good friends of mine who are psy chiatrists, and they said that they sometimes use hypnotism as an aid in treating people, but they feel that it should be used only as a part of the treatment. They did not think it wise for a patient to put himself in the hands of some unknown hypnotist who was neither a physician nor a psy chiatrist. Harm has been done to some persons by poorly trained hypnotists. 'Shingles' In the Aged Hundreds of old people write to ask, "Isn't there some way in which I can get cured of this miserable pain left by a spell of shingles?" As I have said here several times, "shingles" are little blisters which come, often on the chest wall, following the path of a nerve that has been infected with a virus. In young people, the blis ters soon dry up, leaving lit tle scars - and that is the end of them. But in old peo ple, for causes unknown, se vere pain may remain for months or a year or more. I have read many articles on this disease - articles by men who have under-cut the skin. or have anesthetized it, or we did the parallel bars have even cut or destroyed an "L" shape. This proved to Onion Freight Rate Request Denied Salem -JUPIl- The Oregon Agricultural department said today railroads have denied a California request for a cut in freight rates on California onions moving to Eastern U.S markets. An official said this means Western Oregon onion grow ers and shippers no longer have to worry about Califor nia onions undercutting Ore gon onions. 4-H News Mrs. Chapman's Club Mrs. Chapman's 4-H club went on a tour to downtown Ashland.

For its part, the AFL-CIO and other labor groups have seen much favorable action on the variety of causes they have been pushing. In 1061, for ex ample, labor supported suc cessfully passage of a high er minimum wage bill and an aid to depressed areas bill. But the lobbies can't win them all. If the medical care bill passes this year, (or ex ample and the AFL-CIO will be fighting for it and the AMA against it the AMA will have lost; If it fails of passage, the AFL-CIO and oth er supporters will have spent their time and money and en ergy in vain.

The next meeting will be held April 24 at the home of Mrs. C. H. Elmore at 7:30 p.m. Bob Pietc, Reporter Eugene - A University of Oregon professor has received the largest grant ever award ed by the social science divi sion of the National Science Foundation, the NSF an nounced this week. The $224,700 grant to Dr. Homer G. Barnett, professor of anthropology, is also the largest single grant ever re ceived by the university for research by an individual fac ulty member. The National Science Foun dation is a government agency created by Act of Congress in 1950 to promote the progress of all branches of science. Dr. Barnett's project, enti tled "A Comparative Study of Cultural Change and Stability in Displaced Communities, will involve the study of ten groups of Pacific Islanders who have been uprooted from their traditional homelands. Five-Year Study The study will begin offi cially May 15 and will extend for approximately five years. Purpose of the study is to find the changes, or lack of changes, which have occurred in the social, economic, tech nological, and ideological lives of people who have had to face "the crisis of removal from home," Dr. Barnett ex plained. The communities to be stud ied are scattered on small is lands across the South Pacific in the Solomon, Fiji, Marshall, Phoenix. Tonea, and New Hebrides island groups and on the island of New Guinea. Various Governments These islands are owned or held in trust by various gov- ernmenls, including the U.S., the United Kingdom, Austral, ia, and France. Dr. Barnett. on a trip to the Pacific last summer, made preliminary arrangements for the study with officials of the foreign governments. Plans call for two commu nity studies to be conducted simultaneously during each year of the project. Field di rectors will accompany grad uate students to the Pacific communities at the start of the individual studies and will spend two to three months helping them set up their re search programs. Graduate students will live in the native communities for 10 to 12 months, gathering in formation and making obser vations. They will then return for an additional year at the university during which time they will compile their data and write reports. Field Director Dr. Barnett will act as a field director in 1965-66, ac companying graduate students to the Fiji and Solomon is lands. The Oregon anthropologist became interested in the South Pacific area during World War II when he served as executive secretary of a committee, sponsored by the Smithsonian Institution, which was making a Pacific area scientific survey. He began field research work in the Palau Islands in the Pacific in 1947-48 under the auspices of the National Research Council. From 1951 to 1953. he serv ed as staff anthropologist on the headquarters staff of the high commissioner of the U.S. Trust Territory of the Pacific Islands, which comprises most of the former Japanese hold- j ings in this area. He served an additional year as special con sultant to the high commis sioner. 1 Two Injured in Highway 99 Mishap Two people suffered minor injuries in one of two acci dents on county highways Wednesday, according to state police. Walter Robert Lewis, 17, and his passenger, John Thomas Brough, 18, of Glen ora, Calif., were treated for cuts and bruises at Ashland General hospital and released, state police said. The Lewis car was travel ing north on Highway 99 near the summit of the Siskiyou mountains when it failed to make a turn, struck a bank and went over a four foot ditch. The car then rolled out of the ditch, spun around and threw both the driver and pas senger onto the pavement, state police said. A rear-end collision oc curred on the east Evans Creek rd., about a half mile east of Wimer Wednesday morning. A car driven by Henry Howard Baker, 46, of Rogue River, stopped on the road, and a truck driven by Arthur Earl Moorman, 44, of 102 Kings Way, Central Point, ran into the rear of it.
