Former Prison Officer
Says Ki|ian Told Him
To Work k0ver' Soldier
BY t,s Associated Press

BAD NAUHEIM, Germany, July
5.-A former prison officer testified
today that Col. James Kilian once
told him to take Lichf1eld guard
house prisoner down to the rife
range and work him over-just
don't break too many bones"
This statement was made by 1t.
Granville Cubage of Oklahoma City,
who recently was fined $3.50 for
authorizing guards to club prisoners.
1t. Cubage was the first witness
in the three-week-old trial to link
Col. Kilian directly with an alleged
"be tough policy at Lichfield, Eng
land. Seven former guards have
said they beat prisoners on orders
from officers.
Col. Kilian, 54-year-old cavalry
veteran from Highland Park, ILL.,, is
accused of aiding and authorizing
cruel and unusual punishment at
Lichfield, where he was a COM
mander of the Army's 10th Rein
forcement Depot.
Tells of Conversation.
1t Cubage related that he went
to see Col. Kilian one day in 1914
about an incorrigible prisoner.
Il can see you don't know much
about an Army guardhouse, for if
were running that guardhouse I
would take that prisoner out some
place and work him over" he quoted
Col. Kilian as advising.
Then after Col. Kilian talked
about how he had seen force used
to control soldiers during his long
Army career, 1t. Cubage said the
commandant gave him this instruc-
ton:
Take that prisoner down to the
rifle range and work him over-just
don't break too many bones. I don't
mean for you yourself to take him
out, but you've got some good men
down there. They can do it"
1t. Cubage, said he once heard
another accused Lichfleld officer,
SdpL OdlllCo n. LtOOCl tSVll VI lOs
ledo, Ohio, say the camp commander
told me we would be as tough as
We want to" with prisoners.
Denies Cruelty Charge.
Meanwhile, in a concurrent court
martial 1t. Leonard Ennis OF Peeks-
kill, N. Y, declared that specifically
I deny I ever instituted any system
OF treatement of prisoners contrary
to law or any system of unauthor-
lied cruel or unusual punishment OF
soldiers imprisoned at the Lichfield
guardhouse.
1t Ennis. accused of aiding in the
punishment of prisoners, denied ac-
cusations by three witnesses that he
beat a prisoner named Charles
White. He asked the court to vindi-
cate him.

ii. ). Plans 10 Rebuild
Korean Government
Without Russian Aid
By the Asxocioted Press

Russia has ignored American ap-
peals for cooperation in rebuilding
Korean government, officials re-
ported today, and the United States
Is going ahead on it's own.
In the American occupation zone
in Korea, Maj. Gen. Archer Lerch,
military government chief, is setting
up machinery by which it is hoped
the Koreans, who have had no po-
litical independence for almost half
a century of japanese domination,
will be able to prepare themselves
to resume full freedom.
This machinery includes an ad-
visory legislative council. The Ko-
rean political parties will contest for
seats on the council and once it is
convened 1t will go through all the
motions Of handling national prob
lens and enacting national laws.
Such enactments as are approved by
the United States military govern
ment will actually 60 into effect in
the American zone.
In the original plan of occupa-
ton, with United States forces in
Southern Korea and the Russians
in the North, the two occupying
powers were to have promoted
Korean independence jointly.
The mechanism for doing this
was a Soviet-American commission
Last spring the Russians objected
to the appearance before this COM
mission of a spokesman for politi-
cal parties critical of Moscow poll
cies. The United States objected
to the Russian attitude and the
commission was disrupted.
American officials said today that
they still stand on the principle
that all democratic political par
ties In Korea should be heard, but
that they are anxious to 60 ahead
in cooperation with the Russians
If possible. To that end the Amer
ican Government has sent two in
quiries to Moscow and both have
been ignored so far.

AGAINST u. ). Control
OF Health Insurance
BY the Associated Press

SAN FRANCISCO, July S.
American Medical Association
delegates today headed for the
home front and a battle against
Government health insurance.
Tactics developed in convention
here call for carrying an aggressive
fight to the public tflrousA 126 900
rank and file members The 1916
meeting closed yesterday following
election of DR.. Olin r. West, Nash
vile, Tenn, to be next president.
DR.. West served as secretary and
general manager Of the ANA for "a
years in Chicago until he retired
last April. He will take office as
president at the associations 1947
meeting, to meet in Atlantic City
June 9.
Holds No Defense Needed.
The president-elect told delegates
that in his opinion there was no
hierarchy" in organized medicine
and to the criticism that the ANA
was on the defensive, he said: For
almost 100 years we have been on
the offensive against fraud. in the
dissemination of knowledge to the
public, in promoting public health
and in defending medicine against
the evils of regimentation."
Fear of RECOMMENDATION dominated
policy-making meetings during the
current session. 1t resulted in de-
cisions to embark on Wholesale
public education campaigns to ad-
vertise the virtues of medically con-
trolled, voluntary prepaid medical
service. While delegates failed to
vote $500,000 revolving fund to
help finance new medical service
plans, they decided henceforth to
provide energetic public relations
counsel for ANA.
There were strong indications the
ANA would seek to increase men,
bership in its voluntary health plans
by contracting with management
and labor in signing employees to
medical service plans so long as
ethical standards were preserved
Interest was displayed in the welfare
fund set up in the bituminous coal
wage agreement for medical and
health services.
Opposes U. N. Program.
DR.. Morris Fishbein, who success
fully fought off the third attempt
by California delegates to strip him
of some of his powers as spokesman,
likewise was expected to add his
powerful voice to the public edu-
cation program which is to be ex-
panded by the ANA.
In the political field, the ANA
went on record as opposing any
effort on the part of the United
Nations Health Organization to
meddle in the internal medical
practices of member nations and
asked 1t to conflne its work to con-
trolling dissemination OF disease be-
tween nations.
The Wagner Murray -Dingell bill
proposing Federal health insurance
was the target for repeated attacks
and the Pepper Maternal and Child
Welfare bill was likewise con-
demned. An interim committee of
delegates will confer with Senators
Taft, Smith and Ball on their pro-
posed national health legislation,
which was considered still in al
formative stage" Medical men ap-
proved the Hill-Burton bill calling
for construction of Federal hospi-
tails. State control over counter sales
of barbiturates was preferred to ma
tional control
The ANA will meet in st. Louis |
in 1948 and in New York in 1949.

these and other facilities like curb

receipts from sale of property to
pay major portion of costs for new

Quoted by the Louisiana State col
lege. The boys actually trap fur
bearing animals, catch fish (includ-
ing crabs, shrimps and oysters) and
study such birds as the blue heron,
white heron and Louisiana egret.
Out of the project the members
have developed a market for musk
glands from the Louisiana muskrat

receive $50 quart for the oil,
which is sold to perfumers. In addi-
ton they find a ready market for

the fur when properly cured is
always in demand.
The wildlife project was initiated
four years ago by w. E. Simmons,
county agent of St. Charles parish,
who envisioned the need for some
activity that would fit into the life
and environment of the boys of the

found people living in frame houses
for the first time. In her native Bel
GUM, the houses are made almost
entirely Of brick.

something Of shock. In Belgium,

corn is fed to chickens, not to peo-

however. Likewise, the Kentucky
habit of eating hot bread was new to
her, but she now enjoys it and eats
corn bread and biscuits with great
zest.
OF one thing she is sure: Ameri-
can clothes for women please her.
And women's shoes are delight
in America, although she isn't yet
accustomed to them.
