AMA In $400,0(10
Suit By USW
According to a report from
New York, the United Steel-
workers last week announced
that a union official had filed
a JHUU.ouu damage suit »»■
Washington against the Ameri-
can Medical Assn. The plantiff
charges AMA with using a
forged recording as propaganda
against medical care for the
aged under Social Security.
The suit first was announced
to the AFL-CTO convention in
New York by George Meany,
I resident of the federation, who
called the recording “an open
and shut case of absolute
fraud.”
Later, at a press conference,
the lTSW played the record,
which purports to be a speech
bv Paul Normile, district direc-
tor for the union in Pittsburgh,
before a meeting of the local
AFL-CIO Committee on Politi-
cal Education.
At the press conference and
in the complaint filed In the dis-
trict court in Washington, Nor-
mile said ho did not make the
speech on the recording, and
that its distribution by the
American Medical Political Ac-
tion Committee (AMPAC) had
d. maged his reputation. He
asked for the damages and an
injunction against further dis-
tribution of the record, which he
said had been sent to many doc-
tors and civic groups.
The voice on the recording ex-
horts labor leaders at an al-
’eged meeting to get $1 from
each USW members in the coun-
ty $146,000 and instructs
shop stewards to inform those
who refuse that "there’s still a
graveyard shift.” It .says the
money wil be used to help Sen.
Joseph Clark, P-Pa., “push his
Medicare bill in the Senate.”

A & M CHIEF TELLS HOW TO
INCREASE RETURNS FROM COTTON
College Si at ion, — It is pos-
sible to double the per acre
yield and double or triple the
returns from cotton and at the
same time, maintain a high le-
vel of organic matter in the
soil, John Box, Extension a-
gronomist at Texas A and M.
told those attending the Cotton
Production Conference this
week.
He outlined a program be-
ginning with increased organic
matter resulting from higher
crop residues. This in turn
would result in improved soil
phvsical condition and better
fertility by addition of fertili
.'er, based on soil tests would
increase production, giving
higher crop residues to com-
plete the cycle.
Box emphasized, however,
that for such program to work
all of the steps necessary to
good cotton production must
be taken and at the right time.
These include such things as
Insect and disease control, good
seed and proper cultivating and
harvesting practices.
Box was a featured speaker
at. the Cotton Production Con-
ference held on the Texas A
control of erosion. Balancing! and M campus this w'eek.

lie tells the heartening achieve-
ments of tlu' Chicago Boys Club
in turning youngsters back to
their hooks and success.
East year the Chicago Roys
Clubs persuaded 1500 youths to
stay in high school or return and
get their diplomas. Many were
inspired to go on to college car-
eers.
It was done with a program of

dropouts among their 17000 mem-

that were frustrating the boys.
At the root of most dropouts,

Failure to prevent develop-
ment and spread of the live-
stock pest could cau.se serious
outbreaks In areas that have
been screwworm-fiti* so far dur-
ing 1963, authorities said.
Even as the number of infes-
tations which had reached re-
cord proportions during Octo-
ber. appeared to be declining,
cases were being discovered in
Archer County in North Texas
and such Fast Texas counties
as Madison. Kaufman and Hous-
ton. This marked the deepest
penetration Into East Texas bv
tiie screwworm fly since early
this sping.
Eradication workers feel that
weather is now ideal for screw-
worms to migrate into areas
where it might have been too
hot and dry for them to sur-
vive earlier this fall and sum-
mer. Cold fronts experienced
thus far have been too mild to
relieve the danger of further
Infestation except in the most
northern Texas counties, they
said.
To insure that screwworm do
not have the opportunity to de-
velop and produce offspring
that could infest “free” areas,
eradication workers urge oro-
ducers to check their livestock
frequently and treat cuts and
scratches that could invite In-
festation. When Infestations are
detected, a dozen or more of
the larvae should be collected
and the discovery reported to
county agents, livestock inspec-
tors or vocational agriculture
teachers. Then appropriate con-
trol measures can he iivUated.
The wound should than be treat
ed with insecticide to kill the
remaining larvae.
Officials said October proved
to be a busy month for screw-
worms with farmers and ranch-
ers from 107 Texas counties re-
porting 1,725 cases, the largest
number reported during any
month this year. Even with the
buildup, however, less than 20
percent as many eases were dis-
covered this year as duryig
October 1962, when 8.702 in-
festations were, reported in 222
counties.
