year with a view to determining
whether changes will be necessary
The M. II. S., he also explained
is the climax of flve-point pro-
, gresSlve program on medical care
which the society has been develop
ing over period of several years.
Among the steps already accomp-
lished in this program, he pointed
out, were Group Hospitilization,
Inc, the Central Admitting Bureau
for Hospitals, the Medical-Dental
Service Bureau, and the Health
Security Administration, which has
succeeded the admitting bureau
and the service bureau.
The fifth stage of the medical So
ciety's progress on the subject of
medical economies" DR.. Mallory
explained, is the proposed NJ H. S..
$2,500 Is Needed.
The prospectus sent to the ac-
tive members of the medical society
is six pages in length with great
detail. 1t explains the plan for or
ganization of M H. S. and sets
forth in order to establish it, cash
investment of approximately $2,5OO
for the purpose of necessary fur
niture and equipment and to pay
two months operating expenses
would be necessary. If the society
provided these funds, they would be
refunded as soon as possible.
1t Is also contemplated that the
service will not begin operation until
there are 5000 subscribers.
Three objectives are set up for the
program. as follows:
Il. To provide good medical care
to subscribers.
y. To guarantee to subscribers
free choice of physician, providing
the physician chosen has agreed to
participate in the program.
"3. To cooperate with Group
disqualification, Inc. to the end that
the subscriber be assured medical
and hospital care on a monthly
payment basis"
In explaining the third point,
DR.. Mallory made it clear that the
new M. H. S. and Group Hospitaliza-
tion would be entirely separate and
the cost of hospital care would not
be paid for out of dues to M. H. S.
In order to obtain both medical
and hospital care on the prepay
ment plan, it would be necessary to
join both organizations.

7 Former Officials
Ordered indicted
In Pittsburgh
Accused Of Defrouding
City in Settling
Accident Cases
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
PITTSBURGH. Dec. 10-Presid-
ing Judge Frank P. Patterson of
Criminal Court signed an order to-
day directing District Attorney An
drew T. Park to draw up indictments
against two former city officials in
connection with consent verdicts of
s375 900 for personal injury claims
against the city.
His action came after a grand
jury recommended to the court that
Former City Solicitor Churchill B.
Mehard be indicted for bribery and
misdemeanor in Office and Stanley
K. Bennett, former chief clerk of
the citys law department., for per-
jury and misdemeanor in office.
Mehard resigned last August and
Bennett was dismissed yesterday
after he refused to resign
The grand jury, working against
time-its legal powers to indict ex-
pire at midnight tonight-brought
its presentment to court last night.
The indictments must be returned to
the jury today for final action.
In it's presentment the jury re-
ported it found "deplorable and in
defensible" practices existed in the
city law department between last
January and July. It stated the
jury was convinced - funds of
the city have been inexcusably
wasted as a result of the negligence
of the officials charged with the duty
of protecting such funds"
There were cases settled by the
city solicitor. the jury found, which
in our judgment were based on who'll
ly fictitious claims, both as to the
facts of the accident and the extent
Of the injuries" 1t added instances
were found lin which cases were set
tied entirely upon the basis of the
statements made by counsel for the
plaintiffs, without any investigation
whatever as to the merits" and "in
some instances settlements were
made within such a short period as
to make it impossible for the city to
determine either the facts regarding
the alleged accident or the nature
and extent of the injuries"

Southerners Plan
Wage-Hour Block
Group Warns Legislation Must
Permit Wage Differentials
For The South.

Washington, June 6.-The power
full Senate southern bloc tonight
served militant warning it will
carry to the floor of the upper
chamber prolonged battle against
a compromise wage-hour plan sup
ported by a majority of the Senate
House conference committee.
The blunt ultimatum that wage
hour legislation must permit low
er wages in the South than in the
North was issued after two-hour
discussion by Southerners of pro-
posed compromise offered by Sena-
tor Thomas (D1, Utah, chairman OF
the Senate conferences.
The Thomas plan would fix a ba-
sic minimum wage of Is cents an
hour during the first year, 27h cents
an hour during the second year, and
80 cents an hour during the third
year for all interstate industries
When the 30-cent level is reached
the President would be authorized
to name boards, similar to NRA code
authorities, with power to raise the
minimum pay levels up to 40 cents
an hour in specific industries, where
the higher pay is found justified
These boards also would be empow"
cred to exempt other industries
from paying more than 80 cents.
At the end of seven years how
ever, the Thomas plan proposed to
blanket all interstate industries
with a 40-cents-an-hour wage level
and 4O-hour work week.
The southerners baked at this
compulsory 40-40 wage-hour level
at the end of seven years. They
agreed to accept the 25-, 27Hs- and
30-cent wage levels for the first
three years but demanded the in
dustrial boards to be empowered
to grant permanent exemptions to
certain industries from going above
the 3O-cent level at any time in the
future. They protested certain small
southern industries would be de-
stroyed if more than 3O-cent wage
levels were Impressed by mandate
of Congress.

Pay Water Rent By
Working On Streets
Town Fathers Hit Upon Novel
Plan Of Collecting Debts And
Getting Streets Repaired.

At the present time the West JET
ferson town treasury is practically
empty and the streets badly in need
of repair.
Faced with a somewhat gloomy
situation, the town fathers did lit
tie thinking last Friday night at thor
regular meeting and finally hit up
on novel plan for getting some
street work. NJ Z
A glance at the past due water
tickets revealed that there are a
large number of persons who owe
back rent. The total past due, it
is estimated, amounts to around
$2500.00, most of which was due be-
fore 1886. The town fathers decided,
with Arthur Baker acting as fore
man, to allow anyone who owes the
town a bill for past water rent,
work it out on the Streets" if he
so desired.
Consequently number of per-
sons have been busy this week and
all others who wish to take advan-
tage of this proposition, may do so
by applying to Dean Mcmillan or
Barker.
At the meeting Friday night the
town fathers reached a compromise
settlement with Walter Tucker who
has had suit fled against the town
for some time for around $4,000
which he claimed the town owed
him for his services while acting
as clerk for several years, several
years ago.
The town fathers agreed to pay
some money and to deduct what
taxes he owed the county from the
amount claimed.
