Helps little: Be'nson W SHINGTO ( P) - Tile Ei~enhowcr administration's new farm program got off to a stormy start in Congr ss Friday when Secrfhary of Agriculture E~ra Taft benson went before a Senate committee to back ilup. The bespectacled, dignified Benson ran into a barrage of hostile comments by Chairman Allen Ellender ( D-La.) and other critics on the enate griculture Committee. " Inaccurate," was the way Sell. Ellend c described some Slate ments in Benson's 24-page script. "The Federal Trade Commis ion would rule it out as false ad- vertising," said Sen. Hubert Humphrey <D-Minn .) of one portion. I "There is nothing false abbut it." Benson retorted. Benson sought to mollify farm slate critics at one point by saying he might never cut price supports al1 the way down to tiO per cent of parity even if Congress grllntcd his request for authority to go thAt I low. " Maybe we')] not nccd to go that loW:' Benson said. The administralion'~ request for authority to set price supports on basic crops and dairy products betw (;n GO and 90 per cenl oC parity is one of the most control! rsial items in the 14-point farm program submitted by President Eiscnhoy,er. The prescnt minimum is 75 per cent oC parity. I J Parity is a standard Cor computing farm prices declared by law I to be fair to farmers in relation to their costs. IN HIS PREPARED STATEMeNT, Benson said the legislation sought should have been provided at \he nd or the war. He said farm­ ers would be better off Loday if It had b en. Ill' described the pres nt 75-90 per cent range as "too narrow Lo permit the expansion of markets needed to absorb the increased production which our [arms will likely produce." "Tho shortcomings oC our past programs arc quite clcar," Benson said. " We have tried to legislate prices artificially, without full con­ sideration for the inevitable forces oC supply nnd demand. "W have tried to control production artificially. without full con­ sideration for Ule efficiency and ingenuity of farmers." All this lias failed. he said. In addition to lower price upport authority, the administration pro­ gram calls for an easing of production controls. BENSON TOLD THE SENATE COMMITTEE Ulat 25 years of ex­ perience has "proved you can't control prices by controlling production of crops." He said those under controls were in the worst shape. "I don't want to go down toward the socialization of agriculture:' he said. At one point Benson appeared to be appealing to the farmers themselves. He said, ''In the final analysis, farmers will have to make up their minds which way they want to go." "They will decide," he said, "whether they want more freedom - more flexibility, more right of individual d<!Cision, more opportunity to make sound adjustments in line with th ir great efficiency, or whether they prefer more and more regimentAtion - more and more restrictive controls." _ "FARMERS ARE INDEPENDENT, intelligent people and r am confident that they will make the right decisions when all the facts are available to them," he said. During \.he reading of his statement Benson was interrupted so frequently thal Sen. Spessard Holland (V-Fla.) suggested he be given a chance to finish. "Let's nol impose on all of the rules of a fair hearing," Holland said. Ellender said he had been in the Senate 21 years and no one ever na", Iowan t'boto by Bilb SL:awn had accused him oC being unfair.

  • Cold War Scrapbook Compiled by Frances Mckenney, Assistant Managing Editor
    Cold War Scrapbook Compiled by Frances McKenney, Assistant Managing Editor The peace following World War II was short- lived. Soviet forces never went home, kept occupied areas under domination, and threatened free nations worldwide. By 1946, Winston Churchill had declared, “An iron curtain has descended across the conti- nent.” Thus began a 45-year struggle between the diametrically opposed worldviews of the US and the Soviet Union. In 1948, the USSR cut off land access to free West Berlin, launch- ing the first major “battle” of the Cold War: the Berlin Airlift. Through decades of changes in strategy, tactics, locations, and technology, the Air Force was at the forefront. The Soviet Union was contained, and eventually, freedom won out. Bentwaters. Bitburg. Clark. Loring. Soes- terberg. Suwon. Wurtsmith—That so many Cold War bases are no longer USAF instal- lations is a tribute to how the airmen there did their jobs. While with the 333rd Tactical Fighter Training Squadron at Davis-Monthan AFB, Ariz., in 1975, Capt. Thomas McKee asked a friend to take this “hero shot” of him with an A-7. McKee flew the Corsair II as part of Tactical Air Command, at Myrtle Beach AFB, S.C. He was AFA National President and Chairman of the Board (1998-2002).

  • Human Radiation Studies: Remembering the Early Years
    HUMAN RADIATION STUDIES: REMEMBERING THE EARLY YEARS Oral History of Medical Physicist Katherine L. Lathrop and Physician Paul V. Harper Conducted January 26, 1995 United States Department of Energy Office of Human Radiation Experiments 12b1211 September 1995 FOREWORD N DECEMBER1993, U.S. Secretary of Energy Hazel R. O’Leary announced her Openness Initiative. As part of this initiative, the Department of Energy ,undertook an effort to identify and catalog historical documents on radiation experiments that had used human subjects. The Office of Human Radiation Ex- periments coordinated the Department search for records about these experiments. An enormous volume of historical records has been located. Many of these records were disorganized; often poorly cataloged, if at all; and scattered across the country in holding areas, archives, and records centers. The Department has produced a roadmap to the large universe of pertinent information: Human Radiation Experiments: The Department of Energy Roadmap to the Story and the Records (DOEEH-0445, February 1995). The collected documents are also acces- sible through the Internet World Wide Web under http : //www. ohre.doe. gov . The passage of time, the state of existing records, and the fact that some decision- making processes were never documented in written form, caused the Department to consider other means to supplement the documentary record. In September 1994, the Office of Human Radiation Experiments, in collaboration with Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory, began an oral history project to fulfill this goal. The project involved interviewing researchers and others with firsthand knowledge of either the human radiation experimentation that occurred during the Cold War or the institutional context in which such experimentation took place.

  • Osms History Pages 1
    PREFACE The purpose of this little treatise is not to recreate and report every single activity and speaker that has comprised the Ogden Surgical-Medical Society, (although any Doctor of Medicine would recognize the names of many of the speakers and guests from his medical textbooks and his own specialty societ- ies). The purpose really is to recall to those who have participated in the past and who participate now and in the future, how a few good doctors, with the interest of their fellow colleagues, patients, and community at heart, can create an enduring legacy of education and collegiality, which ultimately improves the medical condition for all in that community. Special thanks to Dr. Robert Whipple, President Elect of the Society, for requesting this history be written. It is hoped that this writing will bring to the recollection of the older members of the Society the great educational and social experiences of the past, and will encourage current participants to spread the word that this is a special medical organization worthy of perpetuation, that all in our local and surrounding areas should be a part of. This book is a compilation of information from many sources. Much of the information is from personal communications or notes from family members or descendants of local physicians. Some is from archives at McKay-Dee Hospital and Ogden Regional Medical Center (St. Benedict’s Hospital), and special col- lections at Weber State University library. A large portion is from a book ‘The History of Medicine in Weber County from 1852 to 1980 which was a project of the Auxiliary to the Weber County Medical Society and was published in 1983.

Symptoms of dyspepsia or indigestion have affected more than twenty percent of the British population for most of that period and attracted the involvement of many medical practitioners and others with the provision of health care. Within this group of symptomatic dyspeptic patients were to be found gastric and duodenal ulcers which were capable of causing serious health problems.
