FCC-HeId Crops
Cannot Be uxed

WASHINGTON. Oct. 81. CUP)-
The U. S. supreme court upheld the
lower federal court rulings that
agricultural commodities, such as
cotton, held by the federal COM
modify credit corporation as secur-
ity on crop loans are not subject
to state or local taxation.
The rulings were made in a case
originating in Fresno county, Cali
fornia
After losing its fight in the fed
eral district and appellate courts
to collect 100000 on products held
by the FEC on crop loans. the
county carried its fight TO the su-
preme court and challenged the
constitutionallity of the credit cor
poration act.
The supreme court in effect up
held the legality of the law and
also upheld the lower court rulings
by denying Fresno county review
The case had its origin in the
seizure by the Fresno county asses
sor of 20,990 bales of cotton to
satisfy a tax lien of s17,705.
The commodity credit corpora
tion appealed to the federal dis
trict court which held that the
cotton was not taxable while being

tem," DR.. Benjamin w. Black,
Oakland, Calf, told the American
College Of Surgeons today.
Speaking at the surgeons annual
hospital Standardization conference,
Black, president of the American
Hospital association, called for re-
commendation of principles for
the need and assignment of medical
personnel to prevent tragic er-
rors" of the World War.
THE military has always seemed
to assume that success in civil life
in any of the clinical branches of
medicine offers sufficient justifica-
ton for assignment of physicians
in the military service" he said
1T does not follow that a good
surgeon is able to do good admin
istration."
He warned against assignment Of
skilled surgeons to military posts as
"colonels and administrators" where
the services of "the great surgeons
is lost to the soldier
Black said the efforts to train
medical officers in command tech
niques have not been very sue
cessful," and urged that physicians
and surgeons be summoned only
for "the care of the sick"

Maritime Strikers
Turn Down Offers
From Shipowners

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 81. CUP)
Discussions designed to end strikes
of the Marine Firemen, who have
tied up AZ coastwise steam schoon-
ers, and Pacific Northwest lumber
workers, whose walkout has vlr-
tually paralyzed the vital lumber
industry, were scheduled today.
Demands for wage increases,
which employers were unwilling to
meet, were responsible for the ma
jority of the strikes, although there
were disputed incidental issues.
The ShipownerS' Association OF
the Pacific, representing the schoon-
er operators, was to study the vote
by which members of the Marine
Firemen's independently union re-
jected the settlement proposal of
E. H. Fitzgerald, federal labor con-
ciliator.
More than 10000 men between
Puget Sound and Coos Bay, Ore,
were idle because of the lumber
strike Contractors complained that
shortage of material had delayed
construction of army barracks and
other defense necessities, and they
blamed the Marine Firemen jointly
with the lumber workers for the
delay. Most of the struck Schooners
were engaged in the lumber trade.
Still more layof.s appeared inev-
liable. Tugboatmen in the Grays
Harbor, Wash, area remained idle
and mills were converting their
last logs. Some mills already had
been closed. Tug operators said they
had offered wage increases to the
striking Masters. Mates and Plots
