Charge Neglect
BY the Associated Press

KEENE. N. H.. June 13.-Dr.
Albert C. Johnston, SO. Negro
radiologist at Elliot Community
Hospital. says he won't fight the
request of trustees that he re-
sign because of alleged neglect
of duties.
Chester Kingsbury, president
of the hospitals Board of Trus-
tees. announced the resignation
request last night. adding that
the doctors race at no time en-
tered in the decision.
DR.. Johnston, whose life was
the basis for the f1lm Lost
Boundaries" said that IF the
hospital could have. gotten some
body else. would have left be-
fore. IT am overworked." He
said a sense of duty kept him at
the hospital.
Both DR.. johnson and his wife
are light-skinned. Keene resi-
dents were not aware of their
Negro blood when they arrived
in the city in 1910.
Versions Vary. ~
Mr.. Kingsbury said the "only
bone of contention was the
amount of time DR.. Johnston de-
voted to hospital procedures"
The physician said somebody
was knitting me and they were
knitting me shortly after the in
formation got out that I was a
Negro"
II came as a radiologist to
Keene in 1910 on a full-time
basis and built the department
up f1ve-fold in seven years." DR..
Johnston said. I'm early 1947 I
let my children know their racial
identity and the news got around
the community"
DR.. Johnston said that shortly
after this he attended two medi-
cal meetings in Boston where
two different radiologists-whom
he did not identify-said Elliot
Hospital was looking for a re-
placement for him.
Started Private Practice.
Shortly after that I had a
meeting with the trustees" he
continued, land confronted them
with this information. They de-
MED it and said my relations
were the same as always.
But I knew different because
my sources were of unimpeach-
able integrity. Naturally I felt
insecure and decided I better set
up a private Office for my self
protection.
This infuriated them (the
trustees) and they Immediately
discharged me. But when they
found they could get no other
radiologist to come in under the
circumstances they asked me to
work on day by day basis until
they could get a replacement.
Services Are Ended.
I'm the two years elapsed since
then no radiologist would come
into Keene under the circum-
stances, so I was notified my
services were terminated as of
July S." al
Mr.. Kingsbury took exceptions
to DR.. Johnston's statement that
he had built the department.
"f1ve-fold." He said he expects
to have no trouble finding a ra-
biologist replacement and denied
DR.. Johnston's statement that
the trustees were "infuriated"
and discharged me" for setting
up private practice in June. 1949.

Harvester President
Brands JAW Threat
As Irresponsible
BY the Asseeioted Pra,s

CHICAGO, June 13.-Interna-
tional Harvester Co.'S president
terms a statement by a CIO
United Auto Workers local IAN
example of union leadership at
its most irresponsible level"
The statement yesterday, from
local 6 at the suburban Melrose
Park INC works. declared the
quality of Harvester products
would reflect employees bitter
ness. anger, resentment and frus-
tration" over Harvester's stand
on cost Of living patterns.
John L. McCaffrey, president
of the farm equipment company.
described the statement as "a
bare faced invitation to Melrose
Park employees to spoil work and
deliberately make bad products. "
He added:
"Such an action would be a
crime against our customers,
against the company and against
the best interest of employees,
themselves. A customer who gets
a bad product soon stops buying.
When he does, employees soon
find themselves without jobs. I
know that. the union leaders
know that, and I believe en-
ployes understand it very WELL"
Unions Statement.
Mr.. McCaffrey made his state
ment in reply to one circulated
among members Of Local 8 in
a union bulletin.
The local said HarveSter's ear
rogant refusal to follow the pat
tern set by General Motors, Ford
and Chrysler may be one of the
biggest mistakes it ever made" j."
The statement also related:
Back in 1850, ChrySler forced
its people to strike for 113 days
to get a pension plan. 113 days
of strike for a pension and
nothing more! The bitterness
was so great that after the strike
there wasn't a Chrysler product
that rolled off the line that
did not have something wrong
with it.
This was not an organized
move. but a spontaneous reac-
ton on the part of the men.
Chrysler got wise in a hurry and
called in the union even though
the contract was closed and gave
a 10 cents an hour increase
straight across the board"
Both Chrysler and the UAW
international in Detroit denied
that there had been sabotage.
Competition Cited.
After Chrysler settled it's 1850
pension strike, the rival General
Motors Corp. gave the auto
union a pay increase. Chrysler,
although its contract was closed,
followed suit.
A Chrysler spokesman said he
recalled that this was done to
meet the competitive market so
as not to lose workers to GIN.
Slowdowns were reported at
Chrysler between the time of
GINS pay increase and the later
increase by Chrysler. Both the
management spokesman and the
unions Chrysler department
said today, however, there had
been no sabotage.
Harvester announced recently
it would discuss with unions ad-
justments in costs of living to fit
the new Bureau of Labor statis-
tics index taking effect next
month. It added, however, that
it would not go beyond this field
and make other allowances as
the auto firms did.

the UAW runs until Aug. %,

appropriate 100000 for civil

dents have not been too inter-
ested in the program. but urged
the council to take the lead. He
also presented a petition signed
by some 800 persons urging q

Money Left Over.
Council President George F..
NeSbitt poinetd out that last
years $4,000 had gone partial

there was general apathy.
Air Force Sergt. Russell Bald
win, of the Ground Observation
Corps urged the Council at
least name a director and ap-
propriate some $4,000 for main
tanning four observation posts.
Henry H. Smelling, former
Civic Federation president, and
James r. Miller, however, both
recommended that mot a single
cent" be expended.
Mr.. Smelling scored some Fed
eral and State civil defense
plans as "idiotic" and said no
funds should be spent locally
until a group Of workers ap-
pears who know exactly where
they are going in the pro-
gram"
Seek Police Funds.
Councilmen also heard Wash

ings at 2 pm. Tuesday on a bill

feet it's provisions.
Mandatory After Accident.
The measure would require

meet damage claims after they
have been in any accident in
volving property damage in ex-
cess of 500. or bodily injury or
death. This could be done by
insurance. bond. cash deposits,

mobile accident Judgment.
Appeal Method Changed.
A witness yesterday was Chief
Judge Harold M. Stephens of

the District of Columbia. Senator
Beall quickly approved mis- re-
quest that appeals under the pro-
posed new law be taken from the
Municipal Court to the Munich
pal Court of Appeals. rather than
directly to the Federal Appellate
court.
Speaking briefly for the OBJ
jectives of the bill were WASH

Why Grow Old?
By Josephine LoWman

For the past few days I have
been bringing you excerpts from
papers given by distinguished
leaders in the world Of medicine.
These papers were delivered be-
fore the first Western Hemi-
sphere Conference Of the World
Medical Association.
Today I quote from q paper
by Doctor Dwight L. Wilbur.
clinical professor of internal
medicine, Stanford University,
School of Medicine. In reviewing
the accomplishments Of internal
medicine during the past IS
years, he said:
"For persons as individuals.
methods exist by which each may
be actively immunized not only
to small pox but also to typhoid,
typhus. yellow fever, whooping
cough and tetanus, and pas
sively immunized to diphtheria.
measles. infectious hepatitis.
mumps and possibly poliomye-
litis. Furthermore, recent dis
coveries have made it possible
chemically to suppress or pre-
vent malaria for long periods.
It is also probable that serious
complications Of streptococcal
sore throat as rheumatic fever
and other non-suppurative con-
ditions may be prevented by
prompt and adequate treatment
with penicillin."
It is too bad that so many
cases Of preventative diseases
still occur.
Another quote, Among the
most important and useful med
ical discoveries has been the
unfolding of information con-
corning the hormones of the
glands Of internal secretion" He
then mentions thyroid and in
sulin, and continues, "The dis
covery Of none Of these hor-
