The Doctor's Bill
By EARL WHITLOCK
' President Truman's recent
plea for a wldor application of
the principle of
c o m pull ory
medical core
brings up tho
thought that
there have al
ways been com
plaints concern
ing tho foes
that doctors re
ceived and al
ways thoy havo
i been as unjusti
fiable us they arc today,'
4000 years ago, in Babylon,
when tho Doctors wore priests
aa well as physicians, wise old
King Hammurabi set a certain
, standard of fees. Treatments
had to bo given free. But the
patients paid for operations and
pold according to their ability
tho rich man paid 10 silver
shekels, the poor man two pro
vided in both cases that tho
operation was successful, - At
flint lima 4Vin llllrl n.tPmnn
received pay at the rate of
about one shekel a month.'
There Is an ancient Indian
book which lists, as the price
for healing the governor of a
district, four oxen for healing
tho governor's wife, one she
camel. In Rome of old the muni
cipal physicians had to treat the
poor without charge but could
accept fees from the wealthy.
They did pretty well; too. One
C. Stortlnius Xenephon left the
equivalent of a modern $i,ou,
000 hi his will.
So you see there Is nothing so
new in this now medical service
IHnn Tl tins hoon HnnA hftfnrf
centuries ago. There will al
ways be plenty of people who
will feel that the doctor, who
saves pain and suffering and
even life, Is a pretty hard man
to overpay.
Next Monday Mr, WhlUock
of tho Earl Whltlock Funeral
Home will comment on TOYS

40 Defendants
Convicted In
Dachau Trial
DACHAU, Germany,' Dec. 12
(T) All 40 defendants In the
Duchau utroclty trial were con
victed by a U. S. military gov
ernment court today of partici
pation In tho cruelties which
made this one of the nazis' most
notorious concentration camps..
Tho eight-officer court, head
ed by Brig. Gen. John M. Lcntz.
announced that sentences would
be passed tomorrow.
The camp commander, Martin
Wolss, fivo camp doctors and
three prisoners who became
functionaries under tho SS were
among the men convicted.
8000 Jews Killed
It has been estimated that at
least 5000 Jews were killed in
tho Landsbcrg section of the
Dachau camp, In which there
were 32.000 tortured, emaciated
mon apcl 350 women when U. S.
troops of the 42nd and 45th di
visions overran tho place April
30.
The defendants, who face the
maximum penalty of death, took
tho verdict stoically. There was
no vlsable reaction from the au
dience of more than 300, most
of whom were German civilians.
If the sentence is death, those
convicted would bo hanged In
stead of beheaded, according to
policy directed by' U. S. army
authorities in this theater.
One Gorman already convict
ed of killing a captured Ameri
can filer hud been sentenced to
death by decapitation. However,
U. S. headquarters instructions
reinstated hanging, which is re
garded as a "more ignominious
death" In Germany,
