Salem, wander ed into a farm home near Mehama early today after be- i ing lost overnight on a fish- ( ing trip in the rugged North Santiam canyon Mass Exodus by Doctors Feared In Saskatchewan Regina, Sask. -WPH- Saskat chewan's 900.000 residents were faced today with a me dical crisis that could deplete the province of its finest doc tors. A strike by the physicians already has reduced medical service in the province to the level of "emergency cases on ly" and the bitter dispute threatens to take the form of a mass exodus by doctors who feel their professional free dom has been disrupted. The doctors are rebelling against the first inroad made by socialized nve d i c i n e in North America. A new law, 'patterned af ter Great Britain's national health service program, as sures Saskatchewan residents of free medical care. It went into effect at midnight on Sat urday and almost immediate ly the doctors carried out the threat they made repeatedly during the past several months of controversy. Free Service To prevent a full-scale cris is during the strike, about 240 of the province's D00 doc tors are providing free emer gency service at 34 of Sas katchewan's 121 hospitals. Even though the emergen cy operation was being bol stered by volunteer workers. a combination of fatigue and financial hardship would make it impossible to sustain the emergency effort over a prolonged period of time. The disadvantages of the fragmentary program became tragically significant Sunday when a n-momh-old baby, suf fering from meningitis, was dead on arrival at a hospital in Yorktown. The Infant, Carl Derhous- oss of Usherville, was driven 90 miles by his parents before medical attention could be found Before reaching York- town, tt.ey stopped at hospi tals in Canora and Preeco ville but there were no doc tors on duty. Pln to Lea.ve Dr. Sam Landa of thu Sas katchewan Collcxn of Faysi- ciars ad Surgeons sai-l Carl's otaath was an example of what doctors feared most wlten they called the strike. H emphasized, however, that there was no way to deter mine whether the infant would have lived if a doctor had been more readily avail able. Long before the law went into effect, the doctors be came embroiled in a battle over it with the socialist gov e r n m e r. t of Saskatchewan.

The law, vigorously support ed by the premier, was pass ed last fall as the Provincial Medical Insurance act. The greatest anxiety has been caused by the incrcap i n g 1 y prevalent indications that scores of physicians were planning to pack their scalp els and move their practices to other provinces. Dr. M. S. Slobodzian of As- katoon said Sunday "most of the doctors fee! that in a very short time they'll seek other opportunities. He said as many as three or four patients a day have been telling him they would move with him to Alberta or British Columbia if he decided to leave.
