Forest Controls
Gout Creek Fire

A fifteen mile wind seemed to
skip the particular spot, and the
Flatbead national forest Thursday
morning was spared major con-
frasation as it's first actual fire of
1949.
A careless smoker on Goat creek
near the head of Swan lake was
responsible for a blaze that took
IA acre of timber before being
brought under control after 8 p. m.
Thursday. The spot was conven-
lent to water for pump use, and
District Ranger Ray Gardner and
Dispatcher Pete Danielson were
able to get to the area right away.
A minor cigarette started fire
was put out Monday near Big
river-Bear creek on the Middle
fork.
Glacier national parks first fire
was careless picnicker caused
June /. The forest service had a
burning SaWduSt pile IN the Tally
lake district reported during May,
but it is not considered regular
1949 forest fire.
The forest and park are having
July-type fire weather in June.
About IA acre of privately own
ed timber on Angel point, Flathead
lake was put out Wednesday. 1t
was caused by a flipped cigarette
the Northern Montana Forestry
association reported. Another fire
started by picnickers was put out
Sunday evening at Bitter Root lake
and Saturday night a fire near
Ashley lake in sawdust pile

ANA Bid For
Negro Help
Is Exposed

Detroit (LPA)-An obvious
effort by the American Medical
Assn to line up Negro doctors
against President Truman S
health insurance program by
capitalizing on the appointment
of a Negro to the AMA's House
of Delegates ran squarely into
a charge here last week that the
ANA was blocking adequate
medical care for the nation S
100000 Negro citizens.
Both developments came at
the annual convention of the
Natl Medical Association COM
posed of Negro doctors, most of
whom are excluded from the
ANA because of their color.
George F. Lull, general mana
ger of the ANA, announced the
appointment of DR.. Peter H.
Murray of the Harlem Hospital,
New York City, the House of
Delegates. The announcement
was denounced by DR.. Montague
Cobb, of Howard University, as
an attempt to pull the wool
over our eyes" DR.. Cobb said
the New York State medical
society, not the ANA, was re-
sponsible for DR.. Murray's sell
lection.
Historical Discrimination
Lull was followed by Chat
Paterson, executive director of
the Committee for the Nations
Health, who pointed to the
AMA's historic discrimination
against Negroes and its opposi-
tion to national health insurance
as contributing factors in the
poor medical care available for
the nations Negro population.
Pointing to the discrimination
practiced in most hospitals
against Negro doctors and Negro
patients, Paterson said "a people
under these handicaps need
health insurance at the lowest
possible cost, and of the COM
pletest possible scope" The
AMA's Observation-Disclosures

Negroes mo alternative at all"
he said.

glib assurance that vol
plans will meet the need
for medical care" as "a callous,
cruel and unrealistic disposal of

serted the day before the bill

John Edelman of the CIO
Textile Workers, speaking for
the CLOS Legislative Commit
tee, said:
"The House of Representatives
took an historic step forward in
raising the minimum wage in the
Fair Labor Standards act from
30 to rs cents per hour. On the
other hand, those members
who yielded to the sordid
pressures of the lobbies repre-
senting sweat shop interests by
cutting down the coverage of the
act, have disgraced the national
legislature.
ut is almost incredible that
Representatives who gave
higher statutory rate with one
hand should have snatched away
the opportunity from many
workers to enjoy that benefit"

mere ldoI WGSh.
The two bills - HR 1928
and S 272 - would allow
thousands of foreign workers,
mostly Mexicans, to cross the
border to pick cotton and other
crops, Mitchell said, although
unemployment in agriculture is
already, a serious problem in
many areas. Both bills have been
cleared by committee and can be
brought up for vote at any
time.
A Vicious Practice
The two bills would dignity as
law what has long been vi
cious practice, the union official
said adding that big agricultural
interests such as the Associated
Farmers of California were be-
hind the measures. The House
bill was introduced by Repre-
sentative John Phillips, a Cali
fornia Republican, and the SEN
ate bill was offered by Senator
Clinton P. Anderson, the Demo-
crat from New Mexico who once
was Secretary of Agriculture.
The bills would ease the inn
porting of cheap foreign labor
by setting aside immigration
rules. Mitchell demonstrated
their inevitable effect by point
ing to cotton picking. If Amer
ican workers were getting four
dollars a hundred pounds, the
foreign workers could be ex-
pected to force the scale down
to three dollars or lower.
