LONGER PERIODS FOR
FOOD STAMPS

Under the ration token plan three
red (meats-fats) 10-point stamps be-
come good every two weeks, on Sun
days, and five blue (processed fruits
vegetables) 10point stamps become
good on the first day of each month.
To reduce last minute rush buying
just before stamps run out, the Office
of Price Administrator increased the
period for which stamps may be used.
Thus, the 60 red points and so blue
points which become good each month
may be used at any tine during pc
Rod of from 10 to IL weeks.

GERMAN "SHOW TRIAL S"

Nazi Minister of Justice Otto THE
rack is now sponsoring campaign to
stage "show trials" throughout Ger.
many "for the enlightenment of the
public and as a deterrent" to viola
lions of German war DEGREES, accord
ing to the publication Deusche Justiz.
This official organ of the Ministry
of Justice quoted Thierack as saying
in recent speech that important
cases ought to be tried more frequent
ly than hitherto with the broadcast
publicity and, if possible, at the locus
delicti' (the place where the offense
was committed"
Show trials" of the kind advocated
by Thierack have been held repeat
edly in recent months. For example,
post office officials accused of having
stolen parcels have been tried at the
post office, in the presence of their
colleagues.

Winslow Carlton, executive director
of the Group Health Cooperative of
New York, told the Institute that "the
development of state medicine de-
ponds upon the short term trends of
political action. The cooperative
methods of medical care can continue
to grow regardless of the turn of po-
litical fortune" Mr. Carlton then out
lined the development of a system of
voluntary medical care through health
and accident insurance serving a mil
lion consumers, hospital insurance
which now covers fourteen million
people, and workmen's compensation
more important in long range sig
nificance, Carlton reported, "are de-

the consumer participates in the con-
troll of the medical care, in such or

Washington, Group Health Co-opera-

Elk City, Okla. There are similar CO.
operative hospitals in Hardner, Kan

customarily absorbs the inspection,
weighing and sampling charges as
well as the interest expense on his

dockage. All of these expenses and
hazards of doing business must be
recognized, Senator Murray pointed
out to the OPA officials.
Senator Murray also pointed out
that in the case of the producer who
finds it advisable to load his own car
load of wheat which he might sell to
"a nearby country shipper, he should
receive more than the producer who
hauls directly to the country shipper
