WRECKING OF STATE HEALTH WORK BY ‘MEDICAL SABOTAGE’ DENIED BY INDIANA OFFICIALS Dr. Thurman H. Rice Defends Budget Savings and Refutes Charges of Yale Dean That Service Has Been Hindered. BY DANIEL M KIDNEY ltm* staff Writer Charge that Indiana's Mate health department has been wrecked by medical sabotage;' was refuted today in a letter to C. E A Winslow, dean of public health at Yale university. The letter came from health department officials in answer to allegations of the dean contained in an article appearing in the current number of the Survey-Graphic. Winslow, dealing with the subject of curtailed public health budgets throughout the United States, contends that the Indiana health department has been turned over to the organized medical profession with the objective of cutting competition" with doctors.

Reply to Dean Winslow was' diafted by Dr Thurman B Rice of the state health department. uj>on whose recommendations the SBS 000 budget savings reorganization was bas^d. The savings included as the largest item abolition of the $65000 child hygiene and maternity welfare departments under Dr. Ada E Schweitzer. This work was opposed particularly by the doctors through the Indiana Medical Association, it was said. It is this point which is stressed by Winslow, who contends that the common good, as well as welfare of the medical group, should be the objective in public health. Not All Are Unselfish Following are excerpts from the article in which he deals with Indiana: "This question of the relative part to lie played by the official health service and the private practitioner in the field of preventive medicine involves the discussion of a peculiarly difficult situation which has arisen in a number of communities in the last few months The medical profession inherits an almost priestly social tradition, and the vast majority of its members still practice a ministry of healing and not a business inspired by the profit motive No group, howpver. can be made up entirely of unselfish and devoted individuals. "A certain small, but active, section of the profession long has viewed, with disapproval, the opportunities offered to certain of its members by salaried positions in the public health service. Charges Indiana Service Wrecked "This group has considered that >uch services constituted unfair competition with individualistic private practice, forgetting that thei full time and part-time medical employes of health departments who, are rendering good medical service to the public have their own rights and privileges as members of the profession. "This group has seen in the present crisis an opportunity to eliminate such competition and in certain communities apparently has made a concerted effort to cripple public health service by allying it- ; self with economic groups bent on j indiscriminate tax-reduction. • In Indiana such an alliance has wrecked the state health organization. In Tennessee it tried to do so but failed. “Medical Sabotage" Blamed "Such activities have been described somewhat severely but with some justice, as medical sabotage.' Thrv may take various forms, but. in general, they involve the reorganization of health boards so as to give control to the organized medical profession and the replacement of experienced full-t’me public health exports by part-time men closely associated with the reactionary group of physicians "The medical profession should he well represented on the health boards but no single profession fairly can represent the public interest as a whole. "To turn over the public-health service, or any part of it to physicians untrained in public health and pledged to the idea of eliminating so-called unfair competition’ is like entrusting the police force of a city to the representative of a private detective agency or its water supply to the representative of a spring-water company with the aim of so conducting the public business that it shall not compete with the respective private vested interests concerned." Vo "Essential Work" Given Up In his reply, Dr Rice asserted that "no essential public health service has been surrendered.” Dr V K Harvey, department, director, said he wanted Dean Winslow to inspect the department activities when he attends the American Public Health Association conference here. Oct. 9-12 "I believe he will change his mmri when he knows the facts first hand." he declared. •HAUNTED’ PRISONER RECOVERS AT HOSPITAL Faroled Youth Who Gives Up Will Welcome Return to Cell.

Judge William H Sheaffer of municipal court was informed totlaj of the man. haunted by the fear of capture, who gave himself up ;o police Monday. The strain of dodging capture broke Wilson's nerve and the paroled reformatory inmate collapsed from a heart attack after surrendering himself. He is recovering at city hospital, detectives informed Sheaffer. and he will be returned to the reformatory after questioning, they said. A vagrancy charge against him will be dismissed, it was said. Wilson confessed he had’ been hiding from police since his parole several months ago. Since the parole. he said, he issued several worthless checks, abandoned two rented automobiles and a borrowed auto which he damaged.

28 GIRLS ENROLLED AT NUTRITION CAMP Health Training Term to Last Five Weeks. Twenty-eight, girls entered the Marion County Tuberculosis Association s nutrition camp at Bridgeport Tuesday for afive-week health visit. Thirty boys spent the early part of the summer at the camp. Gains in weight, attributed, to scientifically supervised rest, diet and medical care, were remarkable among the boys, an announcement of the association said today. Three boys at the campaigned more than ten pounds each, or an average of more than two pounds a week during their stay at, the camp. Miss Stella Glasson. recreational director at the ramp, is supervising the health classes three times a week for younger children, and Miss I-ouisc Dumas, camp director, is conducting the classes for the older children. Expenses of the nutrition camp are defrayed by the tuberculosis association from proceeds of the annual Christmas Seal sales. Gifts from civir groups and individuals augmented this year's funds.

Now, What? Baker’s Court Placed Under NRA Code: Let Council Worry.

JUDGE FRANK P. BAKER and " his criminal court attaches deftly pushed the county council into the well-known “nine-hole" today, and smiled gleefully as they imagined the embarrassment of the council when it gets to the criminal court's budget affairs. For Baker and every one of his aids have signed the NRA emploverss and consumers’ codes, and today the court was ?he first office in the courthouse to show its official NRA emblems. Baker has requested an increase in his budget of $4,335. including raises in salaries for n ne employes “in accordance with President Roosevelt’s rational recovery drive.” The court aid can picture the council's worries. The beard has vetoed all pay raises ter some time. Now. the county councilmen arp in a pickle. They can't refuse the pay raises without ignoring Presiden' Roosevelt's NRA drive To make an official refusal to raise wages would be tantamount to defying the President of the United States. And to raise wages will break the county, they claim. You figure it out. FESTIVAL FOR CHURCH Annual August Event to Be Held for Congregation.

BY MORRIS GILBERT XEA Service Writer BERLIN Aug. 2—Adolph Hitler became (German chancellor Jan. 30. 1933 The difference between his prospects then and his accomplishments now are as day and night. Then he was chancellor on sufferance, merely <so the world thought• because he was such a strident and insufferable little politician Germany was fun<*etTTTfi'ng— -not smoothly, but as well as could be expected —under a combination of Junkers and East-Prussian landowning reactionaries. led by Von Papen and the clever soldier. Schleicher. President Von Kindenburg disliked Hitler, openly distrusted him. Now even Hindenburg. erstwhile German idol, takes second place to Hitler. Schleicher is close to jail. Von Papen is Hitler's man. So much can happen in a few short months. • Nothing much occurred at first to indicate Hitler s future supremacy. Then, on Feb 25. the reichstag burned. In that fire, the old Germany went lip in flames. The burning of the reichstag was the torch that exploded the Nazi revolution. Many people here believe—foreigners say openly, among themselves—that Hitler did it. But the Communists were blamed.

If Communists burned the reichstag. it was the stupidest political action ever perpetrated If the Nazis did it. it was little short of revolutionary genius. For it allowed Hitler to wipe out Communism as an active political force in Germany, and to commence his campaign of Totalitat,” bringing all Germany under the Nazi dictatorship. Blamed for the aft of arson, barred from their seats in the national councils as a result, by Hitler's instant decree. German ! Communists were lost, and Hitler faced the elections of March 5 with a tremendous demagogic weapon. a a a • IN those elections, the Nazis won a flat 52 per cent of German votes. From that instant. Hitler j governed with an actual popular majority. If there were to be another election today—though observers declare there will not be one for four years-Hitler, it is claimed, would poll between 75 and 80 per cent of the votes of the German electorate, j The events following the burning | of the reichstag were the beginning ; of the first Hitlerian revolutionary wave. The Nazis ‘'dug in.’* occupying every post of the state, major or minor—local governments, postoffices. all routine machinery of running Germany. On March 21. all (hat had already happened and all that was about to happen was legalized. Handing Hitler supreme power, the reichstag went much farther. It abolished the power of the sovereign German states, by taking away their ancient independence which even Bismarck failed to destroy in forming the German Empire in 1871. ana CONCURRENTLY began the persecution of the Jews. Apart from being a sop to mob passion in Germany, this persecution also was based on the ideas of the convenient old German philosopher. Hegel, the man who invented the organic state, where nobody has any rights. The Jew tsaid Hegel, many years ago) is not of German blood Hence, the Jew is like a foreign body, a poison, in the blood-stream of the state. For national health, this foreign body must be eliminated. That is what Hitler has been busy doing.

The attack, as all the world knows, was venomous, vengeful. Under the guise of purifying the state's blood-stream, the worst Nazi elements got full play. The "mopping up.” or consolidation. of Hitler's position came next. As part of the reorganization cf the country along Nazi lines, the attack spread to German business and the press. Here was where the loyal Nazi followers began to strike pay dirt. Nazis supplanted non-party Germans in German newspapers. Today, there is no free press. It is all Nazi. amtt NAZIS, at the same time, began to muscle in on German business. Boards of directors of private companies all over Germany found themselves sitting cheek by jowl with Nazis. The invasion was sudden W and thorough. Many thousand Nazis were out of work. The effect on unemployment could not be notced. Where a National-Socialist went in. a nonparty business man went out. No revolution ran stand still. It either must go forward—or back. So the second wave of Hitler's advance had to start. It consisted of wiping out all op-position-even the most formal—to the National-Socialist government. This was done by causing all political parties in the state, except the Nazis, to dissolve. In most cases, it involved the simple act of arresting party leaders, confiscating party funds, ransacking party headquarters wherever found. Socialists and Pacifists were the first to follow the Communist chieftains to the brimming concentration camps scattered throughout Germany, run on military lines, where middle-aged and elderly inmates are forced to do daily physical “exercise.” in some cases such activities as climbing seven-foot fences under the eye of armed guards. a a a INMATES, too. by the way, have the privilege of paying their own expenses. Why should the state — so runs the Nazi doctrine—be put to the cost of maintaining its enemies in prison? In case a prisoner has no money.

Now. with the dissolution of the Center party—the big Catholic bloc from the Rhineland—there is but one. The Nationalists. the Bavarian People's party, the Populists, various other minor ones, have been dissolved, more or less forcibly.
