Maryland's State Insurance Com
missioner announced his approval
of an increase in Blue Cross In
surance rates.
Commissioner F. Douglass Sears
approved increases averaging 1873
percent on Blue Cross standard
certificates. The new rates would
become effective March l.
Maryland hospital Service, Inc.
which operates the Blue Cross pro-
gram in Maryland had requested a
22.8 percent increase in its rates.
The commissioner said that it may
also be advisable ito consider CIV
ing an agency of the state govern
ment adequate statutory authority
to exercise direct control over hos
pital expenses and over hospital
rates charged the public, insur-
ance carriers and the state"
He said he was disturbed by the
rise in insurance rates, but eX-
planned that the rates were not in
creasing as fast as they were some
years ago.
Hospital costs have been rising
at rate of 79 percent per year.
Raises were approved for the
following: standard certificate

family 1873 percent.

1t. Ross was Johnny-on-the spot
as he struck the arm of the Indian
and the shot went astray.
In the ensuing brawl eight war
riors were killed. including the
wou,d-be assassin.
HEWITT grabbed the Indian ac-
cording to the history books, and
started to drag him to the guard
house. Hewitt changed his mind,
grabbed the Apache-Mohave by
both ears and slammed his head
against a rock, killing him.
Even today, surveying the parade
ground, one could realize Hewitt
had no trouble finding rock to
commit the act.
Later on Gen. Crook sent a
column of cavalry to an area where
five canyons meet to form the
Santa Maria River west of Date
Creek, for a meeting with the
Indians.
THE ENEMY counted more than
40 dead, and Crook was at last
satisfied that the 'Loring' or
"Wickenburg" massacre was
avenged.
Gen. Crook was 81 when he died.
He was buried originally in Oak
land. Md, on March "a, 1890. His
remains we're removed to Arlington
National Cemetery in Virginia on
Nov. II, the same year.
It's a coincidence that Nov IL
is celebrated now as Veterans Day.

Further Information
About Gen. Crook

Additional information about
General George Crook, who was
frs, buried in Oakland in 1890
was received This week from Mrs
Z. M. Weeks, of Washington, sum-
mer resident here. She received
the clipping from the Rev. David
c. Trimble, now residing in Ari-
zona. The clipping appeared in the
Arizona Republic in recent weeks.
Mr.. Trimble was former rector
of St Matthews Episcopal church
in Oakland.
Here is the clipping written by
Bill Nixon; Date Creek, Arizona.
Gen. George Crook, respected
by Arizona and U. S. historians as
one of the greatest Indian fighters,
died of heart attack in Chicago
hotel on March 81. 1890.
A quick move by a fellow of

prevented his violent death on the
south bank of Date Creek, once
the site of a frontier military post
and today only 10 miles from U. s.
SO in southern Yavapai County
Camp Date Creek is more than
just memory. Its ruins stand like
CHEST from the past. The rock
walls of the main building, 100
feet long and "a feet wide, have

The series Of raids climaXed in

become known through the years.
A stageload of people was muir

command OF The military depart
ment of Arizona from his head
quarters at Fl Whipple prescott,
prepared to catch the slayers.
CROOK was satisfied that the
killers were among the Indians at
Date Creek. While he made plans
to trap the guilty ones, friendly
Hualpai Indians informed him that
the next time he came to Date
Creek he would be murdered.
According to the works of a
noted Arizona historian, Thomas
Edwin Parish. Crook left his head
quarters at Fl Whipple the first
week of September 1872, deter

for the massacre.
He was accompanied only by his

to the tribes, asking them to meet
him at Date Creek for a confer

conspired to murder Gen. Crook
went ahead with the plan. When

Properly, growth, planning,
direction and accomplishments
of the nine institutes and four
divisions which make up the
present structure of NH can
be attributed to the eight men
of science who have headed the
agency in the past 76 years.
The first was DR.. Joseph J.
Kinyoun, 1887-1899; DR.. Milton
J. Rosenau was second, 1899 to
1909. Third in line was DR..
John F. Anderson, 1909 to 1915.
DIR. George w. Mccoy was at
the helm from 1915 to 1887, and
DIR. Lewis r. Thompson pre-
sided from 1887 to 1912.
DIR. ROlla e. Dyer took over
I'm 1912 and held the Institutes
steady for eight years. He was
succeeded by DIR. William j.
SebreIl.
Eight years ago, in 1855, the
present director, DR.. James A.
Shannon took over the seat of
his equally distinguished prede-
cessors. He had served as asso-
ciate director for three years.
Prior to 1852, he was associate
director in charge of research
at the National Heart Institute
of NH.
Now SO, DR.. Shannon is wide
ly recognized in the scientific
world for his original research
in kidney function, chemo-
therapy, and malaria. During
World War II, he played a
prominent part in malaria re-
search activities of the National
Research Council and was a
conSultant on tropical diseases
TO the Secretary of War. In
recognition of this work, he re-
ceived the Presidential Medal
for Merit, one of the highest
awards for civilian service in
government. Last year, the
National Academy of Sciences
awarded him its most distin-
guished medal the Public
Welfare Medal for Commence in
the application of science to the
public welfare" In 1861, he re-
ceived the Mendel Medal
Award from Villanova Univer-
sity.
A graduate of the College Of
the Holy Cross, Worcester,
Mass, DIR. Shannon received
his medical degree from New
York University and his Ph.D.

ing periods of leave, he served

versity of Cambridge, England,
and was a member of the staff
of the Marine Biological Lab
oratory at Woods Hole, Mass.
Prior to joining the Public
Health Service in 1919, he was
