Urged
3 .CounciImen Favor
Halt in Grants Until
Given Soy in Control

Municipal control of the Alex
andria Hospital was suggested to-
day as the dispute widened be-
tween the institutions board Of
directors and the City Council.
Councilmen Leroy S. Bendhein.
Marshall J. Beverley and Roy
Bragg came forward with the sug-
gestion for municipal operation Of
the hospital "if it becomes neces-
sary." They made no specific
recommendation for taking the
hospital over at this time, how
ever.
All three expressed the opinion
that the city should not make any
more financial grants to the hos
pital without more say about how
the institution is operated.
Proposal Rejected.
They denied the hospital boards
charge that the city had failed
to meet recommendations of a
citizens committee for solving the
hospitals problems and said it
was the hospital board that had
not carried out the survey recon-
mendations.
Mr.. Bendheim was a member
Of the Council Committee that last
week recommended reactivation Of
the 1949 Citizens Committee to
resurvey the hospital. The recon-
lmendation was made in response
to the hospital boards request
for $65,000 grant from the city.
Yesterday, the hospital board
rejected the proposal, claiming it
had carried out recommendations
Of the original survey.
$4,000 in Grants.
Il do not feel the hospital board
has carried out those recommen-
Idations, said Mr. Bendheim. IF
they had. the hospital would have
a cost accounting system. The
Council has even agreed to pay
the cost of putting in a cost &C
counting system if the hospital
would agree.
Mr.. Bendheim added that the
Council had given the hospital
|about $4,000 in grants during the
last three or four years, and had
paid All additional 100000 to $780,
900 annually for welfare cases.
He estimated that altogether,
the hospital was getting about
S150,000 a year from the city.
why, for that amount of
money I think the city could run
the hospital" he asserted.
The hospital now is operated az
non-profit corporation, with
three councilmen on it's board Of
directors. They did not attend the
board meeting when the councils
request for a new survey was
turned down, however.
Talks with Committee Members.
Mr.. Beverley said he had talked
with three members of the citi-
zens committee who agreed with
his view that the city council had
done it's part to meet their rec
Concentrations, while the hospital
had not.
II have specific information that
the hospital is not run in an eff
cient manner" he added. "As a
member of the council. I do not
feel the city should appropriate
tax money for a deficit that I do
not feel we should pay"
Mr.. Beverley charged the pur-
chasing department of the hos
Ipital cost more to operate than
the city's purchasing department.
He said the hospital employed
about 80 cooks, housekeepers and
Idieticians.
Mayor Franklin P. Backus said
he thought the hospital boards
disapproval of a new survey was
"hasty, ill-considered and ill-ad-
Ivised."
II don't think city counsel is
at all unreasonable in wanting to
know the answers to some ques-
tions." Mr.. Backus said.

as well as to Mr.. Pearson's rights
under the Constitution.
The fourth count, he explained,
seeks damages under the common
law for conspiracy to libel in the
issuance of false, libelous and
damaging statements"
The attorney added, "We also
allege that Mr.. Lewis acted in
collusion with the others on De-
cember 13, when he broadcast a
false and malicious account of
the fight.
"Knew What They Did"
eve cannot say that every de-
fendant was aware OF the acts of
all the others in the conspiracy, "
Mr.. Roberts said. He declared,
however, that plaintiffs in such
complex cases are not required
to be too specific.
"The defendants know what
they did," he said, "and under
the modern rule of discovery, we
have a right to inquire into their
actions to learn what they did,
The attorney was referring to the
dispositions being given by parties
to the suit under examination of
opposing counsel.
1T is not true" Mr.. Roberts
said, that we are claiming libel
on the basis Of a privileged speech
in the Senate. We claim this
speech was made in furtherance
of conspiracy to defame Mr..
Pearson and to publish it,"
The question of immunity un-
der such circumstances, he de-
clared. should be determined by
the highest courts.
Answers Own Question.
"Who entered upon this con-
!spiracy?" Mr.. Roberts asked. He
answered his own question with:
"a United States Senator; Mr..
Lewis, broadcaster; Mr.. Nellor,
his assistant; Mr.. Waters, another
defendant; WeStbrook Pegler, the
columnist. who we can't catch,
and j. B. Matthews, satellite OF
the Hearst newspapers; the Times
Herald, owned and operated by
the Chicago Tribune, and others" "
Mr.. Roberts declared, 1--WE say
these and others met and agreed
to destroy Mr.. Pearson and his
enterprise. There is no doubt in
the minds of these defendants
what they are being sued for.
"The injuries inflicted on Mr.
Pearson cannot be precisely de-
termined as they are still con-
tinuing and will not be stopped
until the court grants us the in
junction we seek"
complaints of Individual"
Mr.. Williams insisted that Mr.
Pearson "chose the wrong vehicle
when he made charges under the
antitrust laws because no public
interest is involved" Allegations
in the third count, he said, "are
merely the complaints of an in.
dividual and have no bearing or
the public interest"
Mr.. Robb contended that a con-
spiracy complaint under antitrust
laws must be based on a showing
that conspiracy existed, that the
victim was injured in his business
and that the unlawful conspiracy
damaged not only the individual
but the public as well.
"The only specific charge is
that Mr.. Pearson lost one contract
with a broadcastipg sponsor. But
is he now making less money than
he did before? There is no show
ing of injury. He is going along
merrily as he went before.
THE conspiracy charges against
the various defenants completely
fail to set out the words of libel
How can the court make a de-
termination on these charges, OF
4 Fhe defendants know how to re.

5kaeway's Days of '9S Chairman Visits Here

Plans for the visit to Juneau Elks in November of Skagway's Days of '98 show brought MT. and Mrs. Maurice H. Wheaton here this week. Wheaton is chairman of Skagway's Days of '98 Committee and plan to return with the Skag- way troup this winter.
 Best tourist season since the war" Wheaton said of Skagway's business this summer.
 Anyone who has visited Skagway during the tourist season has wit messed the Days of '98" show the whole town puts on for tourists. While the towns show did not pro- fit greatly this year-business gen. erally from the tourists was good.
 Wheaton has the production costs on his Days of '98' down to the penny. Tt costs us minimum of S1l3 to put on a show. Some of the smaller ships carry only about 100 passengers and we can never figure on more than 75 percent of the passenger list attending. On those shows we lose money. But we have lot of fun. enjoy the people who come to town and we think they like our show. At least they write us letters by the hundreds to tell us so," he said.
 MT. and Mrs. Wheaton were al the Baranof while in Juneau and returned by plane Wednesday af- ternoon.

operations is not difficult to foresee.
For 1851 and until this war ends it
is certain that the demand for farm
products will increase and prices re-
ceived will thus rise. At the same
time farm costs are also almost GER
tain to rise. AS a matter of fact, and
this is important in planning 1851
operations, costs of production may
Montana farmer-stockman. [volume] (Great Falls, Mont.) 1947-1993, 1951-02-01

very well rise as fast as receipts
with the result that net income may
be no more than in 1850.
The reasons for this are fairly OBJ
vious. Already there is a shortage
of metals, and prices are high and
rising. Thus farm machinery, equip
ment, tools, ETC., will become scarce
and high priced. The same situa-
ton probably will hold true of many
other production items such as fer
tilizers.
Farm labor, too, will be in critical
supply. Military authorities are ask
ing now for a $500, 0O0-man army
with no exemptions for farm
youth. To make matters worse in
the labor picture the low birthrates
of the 1905 are now catching up
with us. The relatively few boys
born in the early 1905 are now the
source of manpower for the armed
forces.
High Prices. Scarcity
The best guess for advice to farm
ers and ranchers in looking ahead
for 1851 thus seems to be this:
Prices will rise but so will costs,
SO plan now for high prices and
scarcity of production goods.
Concentrate on maximum produc-
ton of that product or products in
which you are most efficient.
Count on labor shortage. It may
be that even though both will be
scarce and costly, machinery may
cost less and be more readily avail
able than hired labor.
Look ahead to those production
goods you are sure to need during
1851 and buy now those items
which are non-perishable. Buy now
even though you may have to Dor
row to do so because it will cost
about 6 percent to borrow the re-
quired money and it may be that
later in the year the price of those
needed production items will rise
by Is or 20 percent.
In short, produce all you can. I
will be difficult to lose, financially
speaking, and you will be doing
your country great service.

always dangerous task of predict
ing the things to come In the farm
income picture for 1850. The con-
illusions drawn at that time were,
briefly, that in 1850 both farm re-
ceipts and costs were due for de-
cline and that farm income would
fall faster and farther than farm
costs.
This prediction became a reality
until the so-called police action" in
Korea broke out. Since that time the
decline in prices received and paid
has been reversed.
Now, at the beginning of 1851,
as we face the third and, likely, the
most tragic phase of the world con-
flict which in reality began in 1914,
it is almost certain that all prices
will continue to rise.
Effect of World War 2
All but the very young will re-
call that when World war 2 broke
out the Unfted States economic ,sys-
tenn had not yet fully recovered
from the depression period of the
early 1905 which followed World
war 1. Prices were rather low and
unemployment was still a problem.
Then as we again converted to
war production, employment rose
from SO percent fully employed in
1889 to so percent in 1914, consum-
er incomes increased from $73, 000,-
100000 to $166, O00,000,O 900, popula-
ton increased by about 100000
people and at the same time there
were lesser amounts of goods avail
able for which consumers could
spend their increased incomes.
The result was, of course, infla-
ton. True, price controls and ra-
tioning braked the initiation but diff
initely did not stop it. In 1899 the
index of prices received by farmers
was SO $685. 9=1OO) and that fig
ure rose each year of the war tc
1873 in 1914. During the same period
wholesale prices of manufactured
products rose from 81 to 122.
Korean War
What then was the picture as WE
entered the Korean war in 1850
Following the cessation of Worlc
war 2 hostilities, initiation continued
until 1949 when prices began to de
cline but, even so, in 1850 popula
ton stood at Isl, 100000 $4,000, OO
more than in 1944, consumer in
come at $4,000, 100000 $3.50, 900,
100000 more than in 1944) and EN-
ployment at 95 percent of the tota
labor force lat the outbreak G
World war in 1889 we were II per
cent unemployed).
All this means that as we er
tered World war 3, and recent event
seem to indicate that is exactl
what we have done, we have nor
people, more employment, and nor
money to spend than at any oths
: time in our history. The inevitabl
result on the prospective war eco1

tionary pressure than during Worl
