HEALTH GROUP
READY TO SUE
MEDICAL assn.
ScandiffiO Custer
Held Conspiracy

Spurred by the threatened ex.
pulsion tonight by the District OF
Columbia Medical Society of DR..
Mario Scandiffio, staff physician
of Group Health Association, Inc,
officials of the association an,
novnced today they will institute
court proceedings charging the
medical society with coercion and
conspiracy"
Charging discrimination against
the associations members by hos.
pitals and citing cases where pa
tients' lives have been endangered
by being moved from one hospital
to another, william c. kirkpatrick,
president Of the association, and
Ormand E. Loomis, declared they
are ready for "a fight to the
finish"
PLOT CHARGED
"The Medical Society is out
to destroy Group Health Asso-
citation, Inc, and by crucifying
DR.. Scandiffio hopes to prevent
other District physicians from
joining the association staff"
Kirkpatrick declared.
"We are prepared to bring
suit against the society for con-
spiracy to prevent the free
choice of physicians in entering
our service and to uphold the
free choice of our members in
employing physicians on our
staff to give them medical and
surgical treatment"
The associations decision to
throw down the gauntlet to the
Medical Society was the outgrowth
Of the trial Of DR.. Scandiffio be-
fore the society on charges Of un
ethical practices.
Similar charges brought against
DR.. Allen E. Lee, member oi
the Group Health Association,
Inc, were dropped when he re
signed last November.
Specific charges against DR..
Scandiffio were that he violated
the constitution of the society
when he failed to present to the
society for its approval the terms
Of his employment with Group
Health, prior to his being engaged.

Factory Jobs, Pay Roll Decline Small
FACTORY employment and pay rolls showed

The New York factory pay rolls, at 69.S per

Employment gains occurred in manufactures

CRICKET CONTROL WORK IN
BIG HORN COUNTY IS PRAISED

and H. G. Heckenlively who di-
rect the campaign, is bringing
success. Gustafson Is the cOun-
ty agent and Heckenlively the
supervisor of cricket control.
Actual control work is being
done by the farmers and hired
laborers.
The large area also prohibits
complete fencing out Of crickcts
because there Is not enough
metal barrier. The two direct
ors have instituted a system of
patrol which locates and re-
ports the movement Of any
cricket band. BY this means
metal barriers are moved from
one danger area to another. So
far it has been successful. along
with other means Of control.
Barriers are made Of metal
and are about a foot high. They
are SlOped toward the crickets
which move in bands. The
slope is enough SO crickets cam
not climb up the smooth sur
face. The barrier is fastened
down by round metal stakes
Thick hook over the top. Dirt
thrown against the side opposite
the crickets, prevents their
crawling under.
Pits are dug at intervals al
ong the barrier. These are three
feet square and four feet deep.
These traps are covered by a
sheet of metal about four feet
square fastened to a wood
frame. This metal is slit down
the center and diagonally to-
ward each corner. The slit por-
ton is bent downward furnish
ing a slide down which, the
,crickets slip to a slow death by
Suffocation. "
DR.. Mills report of cricket
killing illustrates the serious
ness of the outbreak. Along a
two-mile line of barrier there
are 40 pits. These are filled

Only three times in farm his
tory of the Yellowstone valley
have farmers fought as bitter
~ for survival as they are
fighting now on Mormon crick-
ct battlefronts throughout Big
Horn county, it is revealed in q
report made by DR.. H. B. Mills,
state entomologist at Montana
state college, who is in charge
OF cricket control work for the
state.
The first known infestation
was in 1888 before farming
could be called an industry,
DR.. Mills says. Another came IN
1901. Both infeStatiOnS were in
significant compared with the
recent i~nfestatiOn starting in
1881 and which has continued
this year.
Today Big Horn county has
the biggest stake for which to
fight in years. Crops are the
best in Is years. They are
spaced throughout a county
which has new industries and
many old ones. Thriving towns
have grown up, new roads built
and a system of services inStitu-
ted built upon a stable income.
The entire system has been
threatened the last few years
because of drouth. This year ii
crickets are controlled a gold
en- harvest is in prospect TO
bring back the prosperity which
its early settlers Svisioned.
d.. Mills report shows that
crickets are in all parts of the
county except a small triang-
ular area. It's base is the north
boundary and it's apex a few
miles south of Hardin. This
widespread infestation makes
control a complicated process.
Hearty cooperation of county
commissioners, farmers and the
federal government plus the
teamwork of G.. w. Gustafson

BY that time the cricketS were

thln film. "A cricket attempting
to swim such a stream be-
comes coated with the oil. Oil

ana within "a hours the cricket
dies.
Oiling a stream is not ALWAYS
sufficient protection. Workers
nave found that a log, tNig,
Russian thistle or any floating
object strong enough to support
a cricket provides a raft on
which crickets can cross the
stream. As a result all bitches
are being kept clean.
About 20 miles of main irri-
cation ditch and so miles of side
bitches are being oiled and
kept clean.
Both Gustafson and Hecken-
lively place their greatest faith
in dust: They say it is much
more effective than last year
and farmers report excellent
kills with it. They also prefer
dust spreading with a power
buster. A power buster works
particularly well there because
the big busters can be trans
ported from one battlefront to
another without delay. Erection
of metal barriers is too slow
when a new band steals a
march on the patrol or "look-
out" A big power buster can
halt a modest sized band. .
There are about IS power
busters in use and about lbs
hand busters. Hand busters are
used on rough ground where the
power busters are unable to
operate. More of both kinds of
busters probably will be need
ed.
After giving the Big Horn
county plan Of defense a scar
ching analysis DR.. Mills des-
cribed the methods Of control
as excellent"
The crickets ara under con-
troll now and can be kept con-
trolled by eternal vigilance"
he said. This must include ev-
cry farmer and every worker
because the slightest relaxa-
ton may bring a breach in the
line of defense. There is always
danger a large migration may
steal up on the control workers
before a defense line could be
put up.
DR.. Mills is particularly in
terested in keeping the war of
determination as nearly perfect
as possible. He says it S impos-
sible to completely exterminate
the crickets but a good job of
poisoning or killing has its cum.
ulative effects. In every area
where cricketS were fought
Fundamentally last year, con-
troll work need this year is neg
ligible. A good job of killing this
year, means less control work
next year.

the tragedy Of Casey Jones. He Is
merely showing in human terms the
ironic tragedy Of man who sacrifices
everything for single idea In life, and
then has nothing to show for it. Yet
because he is a trifle wabbly and un-
certain in his conception of the play,
he makes the drama so confusing that
some of the critics seem to have felt
that he was attacking capitalism and
the railroad management. I suspect
that the author is chiefly to blame
for such an error. although I don't
see why the reviewers were so easily
misled. For one of the great virtues
of the drama is the manner In which
1t demonstrates with high conclusive
ness that railroads are still the most
fascinating and romantic means of
transportation devised by man, beside
which the touted airplanes remain
pathetically dull and drab.

acting in one Of Mr.. Ardrey's plays

drawing. Miss Katherine Locke,
