ANA Postpones Action
On Osteopoth Study
By the Associated Press

SAN FRANCISCO, June "a
The American Medical Associa-
ton yesterday deferred action
on a move which may lead to
recognizing oSteopathS as legiti-
mate medical practitioners in
ANA eyes.
The House Of Delegates in
acting on a resolution left the
door open for possible future
recognition. The resolution had
been twice tabled at previous
meetings.
An ANA committee has asked
the American Osteopathic AS
ISOLATION for permission for
ANA teams of experts to visit
schools of osteopathy for first
hand study of the quality Of
medical teaching there.
The AOA is scheduled to con-
slider this request at its annual
convention next month.
If permission is granted. the
inspection teams will report to
the ANA before the AMA's next
meeting in December. when
final action may be taken.

Association" He said the COM
mittee had been familiar with
every phase of" the program for
more than two years.
Ask Blood Bank Study.
The ANA delegates asked the
ANA Blood Bank Committee to
re-evaluate the methods for dis
tributing gamma globulin, the
blood substance used for TEN
porary protection against polio.
It said the policy for distribu-
ton was controlled by the
March of Dimes Foundation and
that doctors needed more of the
substance for other ailments.
The medical organization also
voted an about attempt to
change the present law under
which a variety of diseases of
veterans can be classified as
service-connected. making the
former servicemen eligible for
VA care.
The ANA agreed to study a
proposal by DR.. A. A. Eggston
of the New York State Medical
Society that narcotics addictS
be given morphine and heroin
shots free. This. he said, would
take the profit out of the illicit
narcotics business.

ANA Puts OFF Stand
On Closed Panel Plan
lin Health Insurance
BY the Assoeiassd Prsss

SAN FRANCISCO. June a.
A move to declare the closed
panel system of medical practice
unethical has been put aside for
one year by the American Med
ical Association. A
The move was made yesterday
in the ANA House of Delegates
by the delegation of doctors
from New York, where a closed
panel system of voluntary health
insurance has been gaining
ground. 1t also is accommodating
a large following in California.
The New York delegation
asked the ANA to change its
code of ethics to make it un-
ethical for any medical case
plan to advertise for subscribers
if it restricts it's clients to any
particular group Of doctors. :.
Closed panel systems give
comprehensive medical care but
restrict choice of doctors to a
given panel. Opponents Of the
coop groups content a patient
should always have a free choice
of doctors.
Polio Project Criticized.
The ANA delegates decided
that a Qualification of medical
ethics in relation to health plans
was needed. but did not adopt
the New York move. They in
structed the Judicial Council to
investigate and report next year.
Another resolution criticized
the current Salk polio vaccina-
ton project on ground the ANA
had not been consulted. A reSo-
luton by the Texas delegation
said the medical profession has
been surprised and put into a
difficult situation" because OF
this.

can be caused by unfavorable wealth.
er. disease, insects and many other
things. Much has been written and
said on the value of seed treatment,
so it is hoped that not single bushel
of grain is planted without protec-
ton. This is a big hope but not be-
yond possible fulfillment.
Wireworm Control
During the past month there has
been lot of discussion about treat
ing seed against wireworm damage.
1t has not been a question of wheth-
er it, was a good practice but one of
how long in advance of seeding it
was safe to treat the seed. The Ento-
mology Department of Montana
State College says that when lindane
is used the treated seed should be
sown within period of Is days fol-
lowing treatment. While preliminary
trials indicate a longer period is
safe, the 15-day period is safer.
Where the combination insecticide
and fungicide are used the direc-
tons on the container should be
| followed.
1t is necessary, if good control is
to be obtained, to make sure the
recommended amount of both in
secticide and fungicide is used on
directions indicate. Many cases of
poor results in the past can be
traced to poor jobs of treating seed.
MONTANA SEED GROWERS
ASSN.
At the annual meeting of the
board of directors of the Montana
Seed Growers Association held in
January a complete review was made
of the field of certification of crops
now being certified by the associa-
ton. 1t was very evident to the di-
rectors that the position of Montana
seed has changed with the recent
large production of first generation
certified seed being produced in the
Southwest and with the tremendous
1y large crops, with accompanying
SURPRISES, produced in the past two
years.
Both of these factors have made
it more difficult for states that pro-
duce rather low yields per acre on
limited acreages to compete in the
market. The fact that northern
grown seed is still tops with many
consumers may be the saving factor
in this rather unstable period. L
means, however, that the best jot
possible must be done to keep the
purity high.

in the term "allied soldiers"
or whether they are all nom
Americans.
AS to why the case Of these
forgotten Americans has not
been pressed heretofore, vari-
Gus reasons have been ad-
vanced to newspapermen. but
no oficial here has been will
ing to be quoted on the SUBJ
iect. One reason given Is that
possibly some Of the boys are
dead. Another reason sug-
gested Is that the Communists
often Keep prisoners a number,
Of years, anyway. and then
release them. Thus, they are
now releasing some Germans
and Japanese who were TAX
en- prisoner during World War
II. One American official said
to a Washington newspaper
reporter who inquired about
the failure Of the United
States Government to follow
through on the matter: What
do you want us to do-go
to war about it?"
This sort of defeatiSm is in
comprehensive to the mothers
OF the missing boys. There
is no need to go to war to
achieve the release Of the
American prisoners. There are
numerous kinds of leverage
which can be applied by the
United States Government to
secure respect for American
rights and for the integrity
of agreements already entered
into with the Communists in
Korea. The court Of public
opinion Is still open.
There is. for example, the
matter of East-West trade.
The Soviet government is
striving hard to get certain
commodities from the West
ern countries. The American
Government can enforce an
embargo for itself and can
persuade its allies to withhold
any trade until the terms of
the agreement already en-
tered into for the return of
American prisoners are re-
spected. But so far the De-
partment of State has been
strangely silent. and the For
eign Operations Administra-
ton has announced that it is
already relaxing restrictions
on trade with countries be-
hind the Iron Curtain.
