REGINA, Saskatchewan, July
9.-In a big industrial city in
the United States, a man doing
what DR.. Lyall Black is might
be called "a scab."
The term is not used in Sas-
katchewan. but DR.. Black, who
continues to practice medicine
in defiance of the week-long
doctors strike, is being treated
as a Strikebreaker.
Because he is, and because
doctors are leaving the province
instead of practicing under
a compulsory government-run
medical plan, 4-year-old Lyn-
don Daymon was brought by
air ambulance from Kipling.
1l0 miles east of here. to
Regina's Grey Nuns Hospital
for an appendectomy.
Couldn't Get Help
DR.. Black called for air am
bulance service because he has
been told by other doctors in
Kipling. a farming village in
the southeast corner of the
province where he practices,
that they would not assist him.
There is a certain division
Of opinion about the strike, -
he said. I'm practicing and
the others in Kipling won't
have anything to do with me- -
I'm not forst government
medicare plan especially" he
said, but I'm enrolled in it
because it's the only choice I
have.
Il can't morally abandon my
patients here. I've made my
decision and I'll live with the
consequences that follow"
The 3O-year-old doctor, who
came to Canada from Edin-
burgh, Scotland, six years ago,
Evening star., 1962-07-09

has 18 patients in the modern,
28-bed Kipling hospital.
The hospital is the medical
focal point for farmers living
as far away as 40 miles to the
north, west and south of the
village. Another hospital is at
Moosomin, As miles by dirt
road to the east.
Moosomin was the site of the
emergency medical center" for
the area. set up to handle
emergency cases only. Before
it closed over the week end it
was manned by a dWindling
number of volunteers from the
strikers ranks.
Il suppose I could have left,
too, and had my patients go to
MooSomin for help, but that
would be a trip of more than 80
miles for some of them. It's
just too far" DR.. Black said.
Voted Boycott"
The week before the strike,
DR.. Black attended a meeting
in Whitewood of the districts
doctors. He said they voted to
boycott anyone who agreed to
practice under the medicare
plan.
Because he had not made
his own decision yet, he said
he abstained from voting. One
Of those who was with the
yeas" was his own partner
DR.. Colin Lowson. who came
from Britain to Canada three
years ago.

strike began" DR.. Black said.

ager of the Eastman Dillon,
Union Securities & Co. office
in Alexandria, had stayed
away from work for the past
week after notifying the office
he had consulted doctor
about a congested feeling in
his lungs.
Detective 1t. Francis H.
johnson said Mrs. Cottman is
dietician at the National
Geographic Society. She was
in critical condition today at
Alexandria Hospital.
For several hours, police sat
with Mrs. Cottman to see If
she would become conscious
long enough to tell more of
what had happened.
She had been wounded by a
slug that went through her left
cheek and into the left side of
her head.
1t was one of two shots fired
from a AS caliber automatic
pistol police found lying on the
foot of the bed. A spent cart
ridge lay on the bed, another
on the floor.
Mr.. Cottman, pronounced
dead on the scene had been
shot in the right temple.

Ruling Against
Investigation
Arrests Asked
D. c. Luwyer Board
Sees Practice of
Police as illegal
BY ROBERTA HORNIG
Star Satff Writer

A recommendation that police
arrests for investigation" be
stopped Immediately was sent
to the District Commissioners
today by a committee of three
Washington lawyers.
The committee composed of
chairman Charles A. HorSky,
Roger Robb and William B.
Bryant, was set up last year
by Commissioner Tobriner to
see what could be done to
reduce arrests made on grounds
of suspicion rather than prob
able cause.
In its report. the committee
said the investigation arrests
are not only illegal on constitu-
tional grounds but that they
cause resentment against or
even active hostility to the
police" They also inhibit CO.
operation by the public, the
committee said.
The Horsky committee
pointed out that the police
have not tried to cloak their
arrest practices. 1t added it
was certain that if the Com
missioners order the arrests to
stop. the police will make a
conscientious and successful
effort" to see that the directive
is carried out.
Other Recommendations
The committee, however,
recommended these safe
guards:
l. The public should be ad-
vised that after arrests for in
vestigation have been officially
stopped, the Commissioners
should be notified of any fur
ther incident.
The processing of complaints
received by the Commissioners
can be handled by the COM
plant and review board and
the police trial board or by any
other procedure which the
Commissioners may designate.
2. After a period of time has
lapsed, perhaps two years. the
Commissioners should set up
a citizens committee to inves-
tigate and report on the man
ner in which the elimination
of arrests for investigation has
been carried out.
The report points out that its
study has apparently contrib
uted to a reduction in the num-
ber of arrests. Last year there
were 2,239 such arrests COM
pared with 1884 in 1860.
Used Most in Felony Cases
It said further that while
the number of arrests was
small in the proportion of total
arrests, it made up a signiti-
cant amount of all felony, or
serious, arrests.
Most of the arrests, it con-
tinued, involved persons under
18.
It also pointed out that in
about II out of 18 cases, the
prisoners arrested are ulti-
mately released.
In recommending an imme-
diate stop to the practice, the
Horsky committee said that the
innate characteristic of arrests
for investigation cannot be rec
onciled with Fourth Amend
ment guarantees.
1t pointed out that under
the practice it is the police who
determine who should be
detained, for how long and un-
See ARRESTS, Page AS

could begin at this session of
Congress.
The Senate Appropriations
Committee on Friday sent an
appeal to the House group to
complete the appropriation bills
for the current year under the
traditional and longStanding"
procedures while a new system
is being worked out lor future
years.
Insistent Upon Action
Called by its chairman, Rep
resentative Cannon, Democrat
of Missouri, to meet at noon
today, the House Committee, in
effect, replied, Let's make the
changes now"
Mr.. Cannon announced that
the House reply to the Senate
was approved by vote of rs
to 2. There were % members
marked not voting.
The House chairman insisted
that the position of his COM
mittee is nonpartisan and
added, Il am just a bystander
standing by-an onlooker look
ing on" He also pointedly told
reporters that the Senate COM
mittee gave it's offer to the
press lone day and notified the
House committee the next day
Chairman Hayden of the
Senate Committee said there
were some statements in the
House resolution, blaming the
Senate for increased Govern
ment spending. which would
have to be answered. He lndi-
Gated that Senator Robertson,
Democrat of Virginia, mem
ber of the Appropriations Com
mittee, would discuss the issue
in the Senate later today.
Meeting Unplanned
Senator Hayden said he had
no immediate plans for calling
another meeting of his COM
mittee.
The controversy has tied up
all money bills for the year
that began on July /, and the
entire Government is operating
now under a 30-day emergency
resolution, which covers only
salaries and routine expenses.
The battle began early this
year when the House sought
to break a tradition under
which all joint conferences on
appropriations have been held
in the Senate end of the Capt.
tol, with Senator presiding.
The House members asked
that half of the meetings he

A powerful hydrogen bomb ex-

earth and lit the reaches Of the
Pacific from Hawaii to Aus

at IL pm. last night Is am.
today Washington time).
1t marked success on the

Some places were expected to
be without radio communica-

only briefly.

In Auckland. New Zealand,
the blast produced 10 minutes

their newspapers. An intense
glow appeared above the north

zon. Then a luminous red band
widened. shot through with
white shafts of light.
Success After Sd Attempt
The explosion marked sue
cess by the United States on
its third try to explode the
giant thermonuclear warhead
carried aloft by a giant Thor
missile.
The nuclear device was car
ried to a height of about 200
miles by the Thor. 1t took
is minutes for the rocket to
reach flrlng height.
While the size of the device
was not spelled out, even if it
were as small as one megaton.
it would have been so times
more powerful than the atomic
bomb exploded over Hiroshima.
That bomb had force of 10000
tons of INT.
Officials at Task Force 8
headquarters, viewing the blast
from a hill overlooking Pearl
Harbor, were elated.
Task Force Announcement
Twenty-Five minutes after
the flash was seen, the task
force issued this announce
ment:
"A nuclear device carried

detonated at an altitude of
hundreds of kilometers over
