Americans Accused of Huge Swindles Find Brazil Provides Haven
MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE. MEDFORD. REGON
THURSDAY. JUNE SI. 1861
Bio de Janeiro - (UPB - Bra
zil, the wealthy fugitives
home away from home, is
currently harborinj at least
three Americana accused of
mulU-mlllion-dollar swindles.
Earl Belle of Pittsburgh,
Lowell Birrell of New York
and Ben Jack Cage of Dallas
have been living high in this
tountry for years because Bra-
Xil does not have an extradi
tion treaty with the United
States.
- All three men say they
vtrt framed, and all three
ay they will return to the
United States some day to
clear their names.
. Brazilians violently oppose
capital punishment, and this
country has consistently re
fused to conclude an extradi
tion treaty with any nation
which executes criminals.
' U.S. negotiators succeeded
recently in breaking down
this attitude to extent of per.
auading the Brazilian govern
ment to agree to extradite fu
gitives who do not face capital
charges, but the treaty has
jiot been ratified by Brazil's
congress and it is not certain
how soon it will be - if ever.
In any case, the treaty is
unlikely to affect ths Amer-
leans already here since its
provisions probably will not
pe retroactive.
Fathers Child
J Belle certainly has no cause
to worry. He has made him
self extradition-proof by fa
thering a child born in Bra-
til. Under Brazilian law, no
one who is providing for a
native-born citizen can be ex
belled from the country.
;, The Pittsburgher, who has
been indicted on 31 federal
fcounts of embezzlement from
;three banks, came here with
his first wife Noemia. She
bore two children in Brazil
before they seperated and she
dropped out of the picture.
! The whereabouts of the first
child are uncertain, and some
lources say it died. However,
the second child is living with
Belle and his second wife in
their comfortable home here.
jESSI Program
Includes Eight
Students
Belle has talked at various
times of sugar interests in
Bahia State and cattle-raising
in Goias, but no details of any
business activities he may be
engaging in here have been
made public.
Lives Alon
Birrell, who is wanted on
69 counts of defrauding stock
holders of a total of $14 mil
lion, lives alone in a comfort
able Rio apartment. He Ire
quenls the bars of the Copa
cabana beach resort strip.
His American girl friend
runs a tourist agency here
Birrell maintains an office
in Rio and describes himself
as a "business consultant." He
speaks of activities in oil,
farming and diamonds, but
like Belle he gives no details.
He has a reputation as a
good tipper and gels preferred
treatment in Rio's night clubs
and restaurants, but so far
as is known he has not gained
entry In the private clubs
where Brazil's high society
gathers.
Cage, a dapper, graying
Texan who looks more like an
ambassador than an embez-
zler, set the pattern for the
modern version of "flying
down to Rio."
Gets 10-Year Term
He came to Brazil when his
financial operations began to
run into trouble, returned to
the United States against his
attorney's advice to stand
trial, then jumped bail and
returned to Brazil after he
had been convicted of embez
zlement and sentenced to
serve 10 years in prison.
He wears, almost as a uni
form, a black suit, black
shoes, black socks and a black
tie. He is a non-drinking pipe
smoker who shuns night life
and does not own a car.
Although his Brazilian base
is the southern Industrial city
of Sao Paulo, Cage makes fre
quent trips to Rio and his
wife spends most of her time
here.
Belle and Cage work to
gether to further their "mu
tual interests." Friends in Sao
Paulo say Cage looks after
Belle's interests there while
Belle keeps an eye on Cage's
interests in Rio.
The two men use aliases
for reasons that are not fully
clear. Cage calling himself
"Sullivan" while Belle uses
the name "Costa."
Cage and Belle explain
their reluctance to talk to
newsmen by saying they have
sold their "literary rights" to
a New York firm. They say
their contract requires them
to charge $400 for an inter
view - a price that no news
paper is known to have met.
"We did it because we need
the money," Cage says.
There is no indication, how
ever, that the Texan is feeling
the pinch of poverty. He
spends $8,520 a year just for
rent - $250 a month for his
apartment in Sao Paulo and
$460 a month for his wife s
apartment in Rio.
Shortly after coming to Bra
zil, Cage organized a land
company called Panlanco
which at various times has
had options on as much as 2
million acres of land in sparse
ly populated Mato Grosso
State. Cage says he gave up
that activity in 1960 U go
into a "rubber deal," but he
is believed still to be master
minding Panlanco operations.
He owns two ranches, and
has sidelines in the sale of
toDaz and "ampliphones for
conference telephone calls.
Publishes Booklet
The Brazilian Landowners'
Association, a "non-profit" or
ganization founded by Cage,
publishes a $1 booklet entitled
"How to Make Money in Bra
zil." Its 42 pages are full cf
facts1 about the country, but
the booklet offers no specific
advice on ways of making
money there.
At the height of his success
in the United States, Cage
operated a 74-company busi
ness empire. He was regarded
as one of the fastest-rising
"business wizards In tha
Southwest.
His financial operations,
which at one time included
a one-month option on the
services of actress Anita Kk
berg, ranged from Texas to
New York and even to lan
gier. But Cage soared too high
and drew too heavily on his
far-flung businesses, taking
out as much as $250,000 a
year for personal expenses.
He was found guilty in
October, 1957, of embezzling
$100,000 from one of his
companies.

Saskatchewan Slates Institution Of Continent's First Medical Plan
(Editor's Note: Whil. the
controversy over Medical
Car for th Aged under
Social Security intensifies
in tha United States, anoth
er heated dispute involving
government- financed medi
cal care is under way in
Canada. Tha government of
the wheat growing province
of Saskatchewan plans to
put into effect July 1 the
first program oi Socialised
Medicine in North America.
Th plan, patterned after
England's National Health
Service, is drawing bitter
opposition, especially irom
the mdical profession.)
Regina Sask. - IIIPD - The
Socialist Province of Sas
katchewan plans to institute
North America's first "Social
ized Medicine" plan July 1,
with or without the coopera
tion of the province's 904
doctors.
The doctors, members of
the Provincial College of
Physicians and Surgeons, are
bitterly opposed to the $21
million plan and have ada
mantly refused to practice un
der it. The government has of
fered and made some conces
sions but also refuses to budge
from the basics of its prepaid
medical care for everyone pro
gram. In Canada, health care, like
education, is strictly a prov
incial responsibility. There
are no pending plans for na
tionwide Socialization of med
icine in Canada and the feder
al government is not directly
involved in the Saskatchewan
controversy.
The Administration Provin
cial Premier, Woodrow Lloyd,
passed the necessary legisla
tion last November and began
collecting Increased income,
corporate and sales taxes to
finance the medicare plan in
January. The April 1 starting
date was put back to July 1
in an effort to persuade the
doctors to "give the program
a fair trial."
If anything, the members of
the Saskatchewan College of
Physicians and Surgeons have
become more unbending than
ever, but Premier Lloyd has
restated frequently the gov
ernment's intention of putting
the program into operation
July 1 regardless.
The protesting physicians
have threatened to take their
case to the courts. They also
have threatened to move out
of the province and a few
have, though the number of
defecting doctors appears not
to be great.
, One Regina doctor went so
far as to forecast, "there will
be fighting in the streets be
fore this thing is finished."
The College of Physicians
and Surgeons has urged all Its
members to remain "during
this difficult period when we
are trying to resolve the prob
lems that confront the profes
sion." While the physicians flatly
state they will not work under
the plan, they do say that they
will provide essential emer
gency services. How do they
plan to do this is yet to be
worked out.
The Saskatchewan version
f Socialized medicine - mod
eled after Britain's 13-year-old
National Health Service -covers
everything but hos
pitalization, dentistry, eye
glasses and drugs. The gov
ernment already sponsors a
hospitalization plan. The pa
tient can go to any doctor of
his choice, receive any form
of treatment - including surg-ery-that
the physician deems
necessary, and go back as
often as he likes, provided the
doctor agrees.
patients are guaranteed pre
manent treatment. The plan
also includes fees for special
ists, if the patient's family
doctor refers him to them. If
he goes on his own, the pa
tient must pay the difference
between the set fees of the
general practitioner and the
specialist.
The government-set rates are
85 per cent of the 1959 scale
of fees set by the College of
Physicians and Surgeons. Pri
vate medical plans now in
operation in Saskatchewan
now pay 85 per cent of the fee

To finance its medicare

It is estimated this would be
raised through an increase in
the sales tax from three to
five per cent, plus increased
income and corporate taxes.
Payments on personal premi

Under Fire
The medical plan came un
der fire from Canadian Prime
Minister John Diefenbaker's
Royal Commission on Health
Services as well as the medi
cal profession. Last month
during its sittings in Regina,
one of the commission mem
bers, Toronto Industrialist M.
W. McCutcheon, accused the
Saskatchewan administration
of taking control of the medi
cal profession.
"Can you describe a more
effective way to control a
group than by controlling its
income? I suggest you have
the most effective control of
the medical profession," Mc
Cutcheon said.
Saskatchewan Health Minis
ter W. G. Davies, the object
of McCutcheon's attack, ad
mitted that any change in a
doctor's fees would have to be
approved by the Provincial
Cabinet.
The doctors have voiced
several objections to govern
I ment-controlled medical care,
but have avoided discussion o

(have complained that the

Japanese Imports
Of 'Big ' Crops
Up 19 Per Cent
Washington -IUPD- The For-.
Ian Agricultural Service re
ports Japan's "big 7". imports
in 1961 set a record and for
the first time exceeded $1 bil
lion. The "big 7" Imports are
wheat, barley, corn, soybeans.
cotton, hides and skins ana
tallow. The total imports cost
Japan $1,012,900,000. Of this,
$524,400,000 was paid to U.S.
exporters. .
Up 19 Per Cent
Imports of the "big 7" crops
as a group were up 19 per
cent from 1960, the previous
record year when they totaled
$852,100,000. Only barley fall:
ed to gain.
Increased cotton purcnases
accounted for more than half
of the total gain, and com
sales accounted for another 17
per cent. Large cotton pur
chases reflected a good year
for the Japanese cotton textile
Industry and a generally
booming economy. Increased
corn purchases stemmed from .
the rapid growth in the Japa
nese poultry and livestock in
dustry with increasing need
for poultry and livestock leca.
Increase One-Fifth
Purchase of soybeans, hides
and skins, and tallow also
went. up.
Japan s imports from t n e
United States increased by
one-fifth. U. S. wheat sales,
however, took a fairly sharp
drop as japan turned increas
ingly to Canada and Australia
to purchase wheat. The United
States made strong gains as a
supplier of corn, hides and
skins, soybeans, and cotton.
