DOCTOR ROASTS ANA FOR ITS
ATTACK ON MEDICAL INSURANCE
Boston (LPA - The Americans,

Boston (LPA) - The American
Medical Association takes a
thorough roasting from one Of its
own members in the October issue
of the Atlantic Monthly.
= DR.. James Howard Means re-
Views the AMA's political maneu-
vers to forestall legislation for
medical insurance and concludes
that "a learned profession has
sunk, or been dragged, in its poll
tical sphere, to a distressingly low
level"
DR.. Means does not refer to the
forthcoming miilion-dollar advertis-
ing campaign by which the ANA
will try to scotch further moves in
support of President Truman's ma
tional health insurance plan by de-
nouncing it as Socialism" Pre-
sumably the details of the cam
paign, which will include $40 mill
ion worth of anti-Fair Deal "tie-
in" advertising by industry just
before the elections, had not been
announced when Means wrote his
article.
However, DR.. Means looks into
the entire history Of the AMA's
dabbling in politics and publicity
to head off medical insurance of
any kind. Means himself has been
professor of clinical medicine at
Harvard University for 27 years
and is chief Of medical services at
famed Massachusetts General Hos
pital.
The ANA first showed it's poll
tical colors in the depression year
of 1882, Means recalls. At a time
when millions of people were out
apf work and more millions were
HIiving from hand to mouth, a pub
lie Committee on the Costs of
Medical Care recommended wide
spread establishment of voluntary
prepayment" plans, something like
Blue Cross today. Snapped DR..
Morris Fishbein, then editor Of the
AMA's Journal "Incitement to re-
volution." The prepayment plans
would be medical soviets," Fish
bein added.
In 1916, the ANA hired the pub
licity firm of Raymond Rich Asso-
ciates to improve the doctors pub
lie relations. But Raymond Rich
Associates shortly withdrew, say
ing their position had become pro-
fessionally untenable." Senator j..
Howard McGrath (now Attorney
GeneraD said Rich pulled out be-
cause 'the ANA does not honest
ly represent the doctors of AM
erica"
In 1949, the ANA tried again,
DR.. Means writes. First, DR.. Fish
bein, long identified with the pub
lie as the AMA's spokesman, was
forced to resign the editorship of
the Journal. Then the AMA's rul-
ing body, the House of Delegates,
hired the California publicity firm
of Whitaker & Baxter who appar-
emily had no qualms about profess
lonal tenability. (It's Whitaker &

Calls Germany
The battle-ground
In World Struggle

Houston (LPA)-Germany will
be the chief battle-ground in the
world struggle between democracy
and totalitarianism, according to
Henry Rutz, AFL representative
in Germany.
Russia needs the industrial capar
city of Germany in its design fol-
conquest of the world, he told the
AFL convention here. To combat
Communism successfully, the battle
must also be waged on the econ
omic front, by raising the stand
ards of the German workers, he
said.
Boris Shishkin, former All
economist, exploded Communist
charges that Marshall Plan bene-
fits have gone solely to business
men and bankers, and not the
workers. Shishkin is now director
of the European labor division OF
the Economic Cooperation Admin
istration. "Those of US who have
lived and worked in Paris, and who
have been in close contact with the
workers, can state without hesita-
tion that this claim is an unadul-
terated lie", he said.
A fantastic charge by Commun-
list leaders in Paris was exploded
at the AFL convention. The charge
was that the AFL is plotting to
eliminate" Communist labor lead
ers. Named as "chief plotters" were
AFL President William Green and
Irving Brown, AFL representative
in Europe.
Said the AFL international labor
relations committee: "This ridicu-
lous charge is in line with the
time-honored tactics Of Moscow
and its minions to blame in advance
others for the crime they them
selves are planning to perpetrate.
The Cominform is apparently pre-
pairing to eliminate outstanding
leaders of the free trade union
movement" The declaration made
it clear that the AFL will not be
intimidated into halting its pro-
gram of aid to the free trade unior
movement abroad.
Brown, in presenting a broad
scale program to counter the threat
of Communist aggression in Eu-
rope, said the first line of defense
is in Berlin; that any alliance with
dictators, like Franco, should be
rejected; that Ruhr industries
should not be entrusted to mag
mates who are ready to sell out to
Russia; that there should be public
control and labor participation in
management of the coal, iron and
steel industries of the Ruhr; that
the resistance of Italian and
French employers to wage de-
mands must be broken if the work
ers are to resist Communist pro-

Business Journal
Shedding Tears
Over Symington

New York (LPA)-A backhand-
ed indication that w. Stuart Sym.
ington may be doing a topnotcf
job in his new post as defense CO.
ordinator, came from the business
newspaper, Journal Of Commerce
The Journal felt so deeply about
Symington's recent behavior, that
it put an editorial right on the
front page pleading with him to
stop trafficking with such low or
ganizations as labor unions.
"After the Black Sox baseball
scandal" wrote publisher B. j
Ridder. "kids used to trail Shoe
less Joe Jackson pleading with
him: Say it amt so, Joe' That is
almost the way we feel today about
w. Stuart Symington."
Reviewing the capable job that
Synington did, first as Surplus
July, an increase Of 81 billion over
June. Most of this increase went
to "proprietors," meaning store
keepers, farm owners, and other
business men. Some went into high
er wages, won in recent labor
contracts.
A study by the National Retail
Dry Goods Association, a private
organization Of department and
speciality stores, revealed that the
six-month period ending July 81
was more than twice as profitable
for department stores as the same
period in 1949.
Some Of this profit was due to
increased buying, rather than high
er prices on the shelves. New price
tags will make their appearance
soon, as stores use up the stock
they had on hand and buy new sup
plies at higher wholesale prices.
Manufacturers announcing boosts
last week included Westinghouse
Electric Appliances coasters,
waffle irons, food mixers, and cof-
fee Makers; Packard Motor Car
Co.; Aluminium Co. of America 4
Willys-Overland; duPont's NylonI

stockings); and General

his colleagues. 81 feel, however
that people who try to influence
Congress should come out in the
open and identify themselves, and
not hide behind such subterfuges."
The lobby investigation has
frightened plenty of people. This
was apparent when the question of
extra money for the Buchanan
committee came up on the House
floor. Buchanan asked for $25, 900
to wind up the committees affairs.
The House chopped up sum down
to $4,000 and gave it to him, but
not until Rep. Clarence Brown Or,
Ohio), committee member, stuck
his oar in. Brown, who was Ed
Rumely's chief defender at COM
mittee hearings, wanted to hold up
the final report of the lobby prob
ers until after the elections. Wond-
er why?

DEER FEEDING AT
 IDAHO INLET BEING
 SpEEDED BY T5, INC

When the Treva c leaves port for her next mail run she will carry ten sacks of crushed grain to Idaho Inlet, where five men are caring for nearly 100 deer. Snow conditions are forcing the deer to the beaches but on account of the snow being down to the waters edge there is no chance for deer to feed on the grasses grown at high tide line. It is necessary that food be placed where the deer can get it handily and the men have been caring for numbers of deer each winter now for several years. Those feeding deer are Rob- ert Began, Henry Goodland, Felix Narva, Gus Makki and John Serala. The men have field day with their cameras as well as saving the deer for breeding stock.
 They have been requested to count the deer, establish the sex ratio and number of lawns in order that this information can be used by the biologists of Fish and Wildlife Serv- ice.
 Feed is furnished by the Terri torial Sportsmen, Inc, and Capt. Reischl is delivering the feed with out freight charges.

FOUL SHOT GIVES TITLE TO SEWARD,
 RAIL BELT MEET

A fighting team from the smallest high school in the territory playing Glass A basketball last Tuesday night walked off with the Western Alaska Basketball championship. The game was played at Anchorage.
 The Seward Sea Hawks, repre- senting a school with an enrolment of only 36 boys, trimmed Fairbanks by a 36-35 count, to clinch the title in the championship race that in- cuded all railbelt teams.
 The two teams were deadlocked at the end of the first quarter, 7-7. At halftime, Seward held a scanty 21-2O lead. By the end of the third period, the Sea Hawks had pulled out to a 29-27 lead.
 But the Malemutes rallied in the final period, and tied up the con- test at 35-35 with just seconds to go.
 It was then that Deigh of Seward sank his foul shot, that spelled championship for the Seaport city team.

BEARS MOP up PAINTERS, GAME
 SATURDAY NIGHT

They didn't sell much pop in the Juneau gymnasium Saturday night but they did sell one whale of a ball game to a capacity audience. Mae stro Dade Nickle took the baton and made a frustrated Skagway five dance to his music.
 Things got violent at the start ing whistle as Itch" Hansen, J-Hi stalwart, scored 4 points and Pan ther bucketeer Lloyd Sullivan, crop ped FITS but from then on, fast jockeying Juneau tribe rode the gravy train. The half ended with the Bears on the long end of a 34-14 score.
 The situation looked brighter for the visitors in the third quarter when they immediately potted four goals. Juneau quickly retaliated with Junior Ninnis dropping in a trio from the field. Beitnger netted pair on breaks and Art Spider" Tunley registered with three gift losses on fouls from Hansen. Dave Graves broke loose with three we'll earned push-shots from the far court as the whistle sounded. The Skagits gained three points on J-Hi this period Juneau 48, Skagway 3l.
 Bears Pep Up
 Juneau's third quarter reticence turned out to be the lull before the storm as the hometown team slashed desperate Panther horde. hampered by the loss of pivot man Tunley, who retired via the foul route, and driving defensive dead eye, Sullivan, who was injured in the opening minutes of the last quar- ter. Eleven points were collected by a sharpshooting Bear quintet whose tight defensive blockade held the Lynn Canal clan to three. Final: Bears 60, Partners 34.
 Individual standouts in Saturday nights contest: for Juneau, Ninnis, offensively and Sperling, defen- sively; for Skagway: Lloyd Sulli- van, both defensively and offen- sively.
 This afternoon at 4 o'clock is the payoff. Each team has won one game by a substantial margin. This contest should be this seasons best. Barney Anderson, Panther mentor, will have something special up his sleeve, and Dade Nickle, to be sure, has lot left in his basketball bag o-tricks.
