Plan; Would Not

Holmes county taxpayers would
save $573,118 in federal taxes
next year if Congress would car
av out Senator Harry F. Byrd's
proposals for cutting 9 billion dol
lars of u~nessential expenditures
from the federal budget recon-
mended by President Truman for
the fiscal year 1852, the Missis-
sippi Economic Council estimates.
Senator Byrd's budget-paring
recommendations were made in a
release last week. His statement
urged that the estimated expendi-
lures of TIC billion dollars in the
presidents proposed budget be
reduced to 62.5 billion. Practi-
cally all the resulting 81 billion
reduction would come from nom
military items, Senator Byrd said.
The county's share of the re-
duction is estimated to be $573, liz

Awhile back Curly Lawson ran
into trouble when he started to
raise sheep. A big fuss woke him
up one night-Out it was too
late. One of his best ewes was
lost.
He figured his neighbours dog
was guilty, but what could he do?
Here's how Curly said he solved
the problem.
Il took the ewes orphan lamb
and gave it to the little boy of my
neighbor who owned that dog.
Well, before long his whole
family took such a liking to the
lamb that they got rid of the
ornery dog! Now no ones fonder
of dogs than I am, but this one
was just born bad. Since then,

Oats:

Oats:
Oats that are going to be saved
for seed or grain should be top
dressed with 40 to so pounds OF
available nitrogen as soon as
possible if it has not already been
done this spring. You cannot ex-
pect the best yield from oats for
seed or grain unless they are
top dressed. Apply the nitrogen
on the oats after the dew has
dried off in the morning and at
a time when your field is not too
wet. Livestock should not Craze
on these oats after top dressing
if you expect to get a good seed
crop.
Do not forget that it has not
been 80 days ago since every
thing was frozen up and farmers
were looking for feed for live
stock. Make preparation to grow
hay and other feed to take care
of your livestock another winter.
Now is the time to make your
plans for next winter. Plenty of
hay, crushed corn and cotton
seed meal makes an excellent
winter feed. We will be glad to
talk with you at any time if you
think we may be able to help
you.

EVOLUTIONARY PRESS URE
probably will continue to slacken
in the next few months, if Korean
truce negotiations succeed and
shooting does not start elsewhere.
But, if war tension rises again,
the defense program will be kept
going full tilt and initiation will
gather new steam The change
either way is not likely to be large
in the next few months, so that
economic activity will remain at a
relatively high level.
CATTLE-Steady to weak prices
appear probable in the next two
months, except possibly for the top
crust of long-feds which may be
steady to strong. Numbers of cattle
on grain feed for market in the
cornbelt on July were 9 percent
less than the relatively large num-
Der in feedlots a year ago, accord
ing to the U. S. department of agri-
culture. The percentage of cattle
that have been on feed over three
months is about A percent higher
than year ago, but the proportion
that finishers intend to sell in Au-
gust and September is lighter than
in 1850.
The reduction in feeding opera
lions probably reflects the influence
of the proposed price rollbacks as
well as less plentiful supplies of corn
than in 1850. While long-feds may
become more scarce, grassers will
become increasingly plentiful in the
next three months, although the
movement will be somewhat later
than normal.

Two Doctors on Guam Rebuked
For Refusal to SteriIize Man

Mathis noticed the man had not

DR.. Dargevics replied he would

DR.. Mathis told him it was not
illegal under the circumstances.
DR.. Mathis then asked DR..
Falks to operate. DR.. Falks also
refused.
The doctors then were told they
would be officially reprimanded.
DR.. Mathis said both received
letters Of reprimand today.
He said he was aware that a
doctor could refuse to operate. He
said he issued the reprimands be-
cause the surgeons had placed the
hospital in an embarrassing posi-

Mine Workers Fund
On Pensions, Welfare
Totals 500 Millions

The United Mine Workers well
fare and retirement fund is in a
sound financial position for the
first time in it's five-year history
with balance on hand of nearly
500 million, the fund trustees re-
ported today.
Miss Josephine Roche, director
and neutral trustee. announced
that $261 million had been paid
out in pensions and various types
Of medical, hospital. disability and
rehabilitation benefits to soft coal
miners.
The fund now is supported
through the payment of mine op-
orators of 80 cents per ton on all
coal mined. Sharing in the bene-
fits are the 100000 soft coal
miners, plus large number who
have retired.
Result of Strike.
The fund was started through
operator payments of S cents a
ton in 1916. 1t was born of a
strike, and the fund payments
have been raised after bitter bat
ties between the miners and
operators.
An annual audit, announced by
Miss Roche, showed that admin
1strative costs now run at the
rate of 81 per cent of the total
expenditures. The fund has 424
employees, nearly 200 of whom are
employed here. It has a staff of
IA doctors under direction of DR..
Warren Draper. Most of the well
fare work is performed through
local doctors and hospitals.
Silent on Future.
Miss Roche refused to say
whether all future services planned
for the miners and their families
could be covered by the present
S0-cent-per-ton royalty, or wheth-
er Mr.. Lewis would try to win
higher payment in contract ne
gotiations with the operators next
spring.
She said $500 persons are now
receiving the $100 monthly pen
sions paid to miners over so with
20 years service in the mines.
During the past year, Miss
Roche said, the fund paid out
over $6 million in death benefits.
On the death of a miner, his
widow and dependent children get
a $1,000 benefit. If the miner is
single the fund pays $3.50 in fu-
neral expense. More than SIS
million was paid out for rehabili-
tation of injured miners.

GUAM, Oct. 3.-Two surgeons
at Guam Memorial Hospital today
were reprimanded for failure to
sterilize a man who said his wife
had been told she should have no
more children.
The surgeons, DR.. August Dar-
gevics and DR.. Edward Falks, said
they had been discharged on oral
orders of DR.. Austin Mathis, new
director of medical services at the
hospital. DR.. Mathis is a grad
uate of Baylor Medical School,
Waco, Tex.
William Silverman, chief of hos
pital administration, said the sur
geons apparently misunderstood; +;
that DR.. Mathis told them only
they would be reprimanded. He
emphasized they had not been
discharged and praised both as
excellent surgeons and assets to
the hospital. But he said their
behavior in this case was un-
ethical.
M. Silverman of Chicago gave
this account:
A man came to the hospital
early last month and asked to be
Sterilized. Identified only as a
resident of the mainland United
States, he said his doctor there
had told him it was unsafe for
his wife to have any more chill
dren. The couple has five.
The hospital instructed him to
make a notarized statement of
his wife'S condition and acknowl-
edge that he understood steriliza-
tion.
The man did. He was referred
to DR.. Falks, who agreed to per-
form the operation if it were done
in the hospital, so laboratory tests
could be made. The hospital
agreed.
DR.. Dargevics, chief of staff,
agreed to operate.
The patient was prepared for
the operation yesterday. When DR..

Those conflicting viewpoints
were expressed by Richard Boil

Wisconsin, on Americas Town

"The purpose of McCarthyism
is not to fight communism but
to get publicity, power and pres
tige for Senator Mccarthy" Boil
ling declared.
KerSten asserted that Senator
McCarthy's m a in charge-that
the Communists have influenced
key personnel in the State De-
partment-and efforts to have
that charge investigated will re-
suit in a net substantial good to
