With the Legion’s, 36th and pos- sibly biggest convention due to Open Monday, planes, trains, buses and cars were bringing in loads of blue and gold clad legionnaires and their families. While the Legionnaires checked in) at their hotels and broke out their cameras and traditional walk- ing sticks, the organization’s Na- tional Security and Child Welfare Commissions were hard at work on resolutions to. be brought before the convention’s business sessions. This was military affairs day be- fore the National Security Com- mission, which heard yesterday from a series of Congress mem- bers and government officials on atomic, foreign policy and civilde- fense matters. : ; Gen, Thomas D. White, vice chief of staff of the Air Force, said in a prepared talk that the United States may have to build more than its projected 128 combat air wings if Russia continues to lower the living standards of her people in quest for greater air and atomic power. White said American long range offensive air power remains a “sharp axe poised over the Com- munist neck.” White said the Unit- ed States still has more long range fighting planes than the Russians, but that the gap is narrowing. Lt. Gen. Randolph McC. Pate, assistant commandant of the Ma- rine’ Corps, told in another pre- pared speech how the corps is de- veloping a new assault technique built around use of a helicopter transport to carry Marine troops behind an enemy beach from transports far at sea. He explained that the Marines are now developing their ideas of futyre combat with a realization that an enemy’s atomic weapons would make amphibious operations vastly more dangerous. He said further the 52,000 Marines in the Western Pacific are “ready to go to war today.” . Gen. Charles L. Bolte, Army vice chief of staff, said in a pre- pared talk that the recent decision to withdraw Army forces from the Far East was based on a need to preserve a strategic reserve in the United States and to keep Army forces flexible, to deal with any milMary threat that miay arise, “The Army has announced its in- tentions to pull four divisions from .| Korea and to send two. of.them . | back\to the United States, Farm Measure Becomes Law DENVER (#—President.. Eisen- hower today signs into law a farm bill representing a major’ ai- ministration victory—a measure he says will provide more food, make production more efficient and stabilize farm income. The President’s vacation head- quarters announced his plans io sign legislation (probably before noon, MST) for which he fought perhaps more vigorously than he did for any other program he sub- mitted to the 83rd Congress. The measure, however, is something of a compromise on Eisenhower's request for broad Powers to deal with farm price supports and accumulated. food surpluses valued at many millions of dollars. In his nationwide radio-television address last Monday on the record of the 83rd Congress, Eisenhower said that when he took office those surpluses had become “‘ummanage- able” and that under existing law they. continued to grow “at an alarming rate.” They were de- pressing farm market prices, he declared Then, alluding to the program he is signing into law today, he said: “Now we have a program that will encourage efficient production, will stimulate production, and stabilize farm income.” Both supporters and critics of the President's controversial pro- posals generally agreed his suc- cess marked the bigget and hard- in the recent session of Congress, Many politicians believe that the omnibus farm bill—changing the direction and pattern of 20 years of government programs—may de- cide party control of Congress dur- ing this campaign year when. all | House membgrs ahd more than jone third of the Senate face re- | election.

German Dogtors i By. CARL FLICK-STEGER BONN, Germany #—There are 70,000 physicians’ in West Germany, and about 58,000 of them depend largely on income from socialized medicine. Today they are in the midst of a campaign for more pay. Germany. has had_ socialized medicine 70 years. The system gives complete medical treatment, hospital expenses, support of a family during sickness and funeral costs if a patient dies. It does this out of assessments of three cents on every payroll dollar—and winds up every year with a profit which is. divided among doctors. Tax statistics show the average annual earnings of a physician working for socialized medicine are about $3,000. Private patients provide $1,000 to $3,000 more. So the total income of a “socialized doctor” is between $4,000 and $6,000—the highest income. group in Germany, There is one doctor for 600 mem- bers of the state social medical system. Before 1932, there was one doctor for 1,000. Doctors not in the organization now want the num- ber of members per doctor reduced to 450. That would admit ‘more doctors. The socialized medicine organi- zation says such changes would either raise membership fees or cut the standard of medical treat- ment. Physicians already in the system say they are overworked and un- derpaid, that present payments are hased on medical practices of 22 years ago. They want a free hand in preseribing medi- cine instead of being limited in the amoutits they can order. The organization’s reply. to this is that the physicians want to do more prescribing in order to win more patients and induce them to come oftener. Doctors are paid accord- ing to the number of patients as well as the number of visits. This controversy does not affect the specialist with a big name, His income is-assured by patients able to pay a high fee. It is the physician still grappling with build- ing up a practice, and the young doctor just out of college, whose interest in socialized medicine is strongest. For this category of doc- tors, socialized medicine provides a dependable minimum income besides allowing him to devote his spare time to treating nonorgan- | ized private patients at regular | fees.
