GROWING NEED SEEN FOR U. S. HOSPITAL AID Government Must Act to Help Average American, Says Doctor. Bu yr, A Service NEW ORLEANS, Nov. . American hospitals must get- substantial government help if proper medical treatment 13 to be brought within the reach of the great majority of the American people. This is 'the conclusion of Dr. C. Jeff Miller, president-elect of the greatest surgical body in the world, the American College of Surgeons. In an interview, Dr. Miller admitted that modem hospital treatment means financial shipwreck for the average American —whose income. according to government figures, is well below $2,000 a year. A siege of illness in the family, he said, often puts such a man under a load of debt that It takes years to lift. Aid Held Necessary “The only solution that I can see is governmental aid for the hospitals," he declared. "Whether the appropriations come from federal, state or city governments, or from all of them, is a detail that the people themselves fnust work out. Certainly the professional standards of the hospitals can not be lowered. Nor can the hospital authorities and doctors be blamed. "The advance of modern medical science necessarily has added enormously to the cost of hospital treatment. "For instance: patients now know that their condition can be determined far more accurately than ever before by blood test or X-ray studies. These things cost money.

Says Minimum is Reached ‘'Hospital experts have brought the cost of hospital service as low as possible, considering the standards that must be maintained. “When you consider that a good hotel room costs you from $5 to sls a day, and then consider that a hospital with its necessary adjuncts of nursing department, dressing department. X-ray department, pathological laboratories, diet kitchens and so on, gives you a room for around $lO a day you can see that its costs are not exorbitant. “Yet $lO a day for a hospital room means financial shipwreck for many a man. The only solution we can see in the American College of Surgeons is governmental aid.” Dr. Miller took occasion to puncture an ancient jest—the charge that the doctor is always trying to find an excuse to perform an operation. Operation Jest Punctured "The surgeons themselves are working the hardest to diminish the number of operations," he said. "We operate when, to the best of our knowledge, an operation is unavoidable. But the progress or surgery in the last twenty years seems little short of miraculous. “Operations are performed today with the assurance that the danger to the patient is of the slightest, where ten years ago the death rate was 15 to 25 per cent.” The interviewer mentioned prohibition. Dr. Miller remarked that he was somewhat averse to discussing the subject, as “it has got to a point in America where discussing prohibidon is almost like discussing religion.” He suggested that prohibition could not be successfully enforced until a great campaign of education costing perhaps as much as is now spent on prohibition enforcement, is held. “A vast campaign of education along the line of temperance is the necessary prelude to any possibility of enforcement.” he said. "The American people must be taught that excess is the real evil. I mean excess in anything as well as in alcohol. “In America today the danger in food consumed in excessive quantities is far greater than the danger of the excessive drinking of alcoholic beverages.” Indiana Pool Buys Stock The Central States Grain Association, Inc., known as the wheat pool for the past six years and sponsored by the Indiana Farm Bureau Federation, is the first co-operative unit of the country to advance money to the Farmers’ National Grain Corporation for the purpose of acquiring stock, according to Edmond C. Foust, director of organization for the pool.

‘Brains’ of Lamar Bank Holdup Jests Over Hanging Prospers

‘Never Shoot’ in Robbery, Fleagle Advises; ‘lt Costs You Money.’ BuSBA Service DENVER, Colo., Nov. 6.—" No, I never was sick a day in my life—until, recently, I found myself threatened with throat trouble.” The speaker is a ruddy-faced, gray-haired man of 50, who looks for all the world like a cultured bank president or a kindly physician. He smiles at his own grim jest, fingers his neck and chuckles again. His name is Ralph Fleagle. A wealthy ranch owner, he was the “brains" of the famous Lamar (Colo.) bank robbers, who killed four men and got away with $238,000 —and he made this little remark as he sat in a cell in Jail, waiting for the state of Colorado to hang him by the neck until he is dead. Two of his accomplices are also under sentence to hang, while a fourth—Jake Fleagle, a brother—is being sought throughout the world with a large reward for his capture. Fleagle Is Unusual A man who can make a grim Jest like that is unusual. Fleagle is all of that. He received a newspaper reporter graciously, quite in the manner of a good-natured executive willing to spare a few moments to give out a "success story” interview. No trace of the cold-blooded robber about him. But his interview came strangely from his lips—for he told about the theory and practice of bank robbery, from the standpoint of an expert. "One should never drink or take any ‘hop’ before robbing a bank,” he remarked. “If a man needs that to nerve him he’d better quit the business, for he lacks the essential nerve.

Shooting Costs Money “Never shoot if it’s possible to avoid it, either, wvs one of my mottoes. A shooting affray always cuts down the profits—you’re bound to overlook some of the cash in the excitement. “The unexpected shooting In the Lamar job cost, us money. “After all. robbing a bank is a financial proposition. You're there to get everything in sight. We overlooked a lot of cash at Lamar because of the gunfire.” Suavely, the dignified bandit leader explained that he deeply regretted the murders at Lamar. “Os course, we expected no shooting,” he said. “And there shouldn’t have been any, but for the attempt to protect the money by A. N. Parrish, bank president. Says Money Was Insured “That money was insured. His bank didn’t stand to lose a cent. He shouldn’t have moved a finger. It was most unfortunate, and started a chain of events that claimed all those lives and now is about to claim some more.” Fleagle shook his head. “My sympathy certainly goes out to the widows and orphans of the slain bank officials,” he said. “I don’t attempt to belittle their grief and loss one iota. But it's a queer commentary on human life, when you consider the little fuss that was made over the widows and orphans who were made so by the wholesale murders of the last war. “But that’s different. That’s legalized murder. The killing in the Lamar job, I insist, were accidental and due to circumstances. Had the elder Parrish refrained from shooting, nothing untoward would have happened.”

ONE IDENTIFIED AS SLAYER OF WOMAN

Two Score Witnesses- Are Scheduled* in Gastonia Murder Probe. Bu Vnited Press GASTONIA, N. C., Nov. 6.—Approximately two score additional state w'itnesses remained to be heard today in the third inquiry into the fatal shooting of Mrs. Ella May Wiggins in a textile strike disorder here last September. One of twelve witnesses examined before Superior Judge P. A. McElroy Tuesday—E. L. Case—positively identified Horace Wheeler, one of sixteen held for the inquiry as the man who allegedly fired the fatal shot. Mrs. Wiggins was one of mors than twenty strikers riding in a truck to a strike meeting when ordered by members of an alleged anti-Communist mob to turn back and not attend the meeting. There was a collision between the truck and a small coach, followed by shots. “ ‘Lordy, he’s shot me,’ ” Case quoted Mrs. Wiggins as exclaiming. He asserted he was among those on the truck and saw Wheeler, a Loray mill worker, point a revolver at the truck and fire. “Mrs. Wiggins was standing on my right with her hands on the side of the truck,” Case said. “He fired and she shouted and then fell backward, throwing her hand up to her right side, where she was struck.” Case was the last of twelve wit-

HANGS HIS OLD PAL Sheriff Springs Trap for Soldier Buddy. Bu Vnited Press LIVINGSTON, Mont., Nov. 6.—A soldier buddy of twenty years ago sprung the gallows trap that sent Rollin Davisson, 42, to death in the Park county jail today to atone for two murders. A minute and a half afterward, Davisson was pronounced dead. The fact he never could finish a magazine thriller serial was Davisson’s only regret as he went to death for murdering Police Chief Peter Holt and Traffic Officer Martin Zollmon on Aug. 28, because they refused to collect 50 cents Davisson had been unable to get from a debtor. Sheriff Gilbert, who “soldiered” with Davisson, was the hangman. Columbus outfitted seventeen vessels on his second voyage in 1493.

MACDONALD IS VICTOR IN TEST OF HISPOLICIES Diplomatic Acts Approved, but Reactions Hint at Later Trouble. LONDON. Nov. 6. The foreign and domestic policies of Great Britain's labor government appeared today to have withstood the first attacks of the opposition, but the reaction to Tuesday’s political developments showed troubles still ahead for Premier Ramsay MacDonald’s cabinet. In the face of a distinctly unfavorable reception accorded its plans to solve the present unemployment crisis, MacDonald’s government sought approval of its foreign policies, including the prime minister's conversations with President Hoover regarding naval limitation; resumption of diplomatic relations with Russia and its attitude toward the present India situation. The policies were approved. The premier was congratulated on his success in the United States; the resumption of diplomatic relations with Russia was approved and the India situation was effectively disposed of for the time being. But the day undoubtedly was not the day of triumpli which the labor government had hoped for. Observers agreed the labor government’s real troubles in the future would be centered on the home front. Some felt the dissatisfaction over the unemployment remedies proposed by Thomas might lead to a serious split, while the coal industry problem, at present in considerable confusion with miners and owners at odds, presented further troubles in MacDonald’s future.
