Volume 50. New AMA President Deplores ‘lnvaders’ Reprinted From Scope Weekly Atlantic City, N. J.—Attempts of people outside the medical profes sion to inject themselves into the practice of medicine is one of the most serious problems confronting the American physician today, said Dr. Louis McDonald Orr in a Scope Weekly interview as he prepared to assume office here as the 113th president of the American Medical Association. While grapping in office, labor atory, and hospital with such prob lems as heart disease, cancer, and aging, Dr. Orr observed, the phy sicans has also had to deal with management, labor, hospital admin strtors, and insurance people as well as Government groups “who wish to invade the practice of medicine.” Moreover, there are, he found, renewed attempts being made today to set up a bureau cratic system to control medical services. “Wherever Government has as sumed such controls,” the Orlando, Florida urologist warned, “the re sults has been tremendous multi plication of costs over original esti mates, extreme tax burdens, nation al deficits, and gradual extension of socialization into other activi ties.” The gravest dangers he foresees from Government control of medi cine are a reduction in the quality of patient care and an inevitable destruction of the doctor patient relationship. Dr. Orr expects the growing drive to unionize nonprofessional hospital employees will pose new and ser ious problems to physicians and hosnital administrators. “The major concern of the phy sician," he said, “will be to assure that such problems do not adversly affect patient care. The problem for administrators will be one of rising costs of labbor and services, which necessarily will be passed along to the consumer and thus create increases in medical and hospital costs.” The A. .M A.’s 113th president was born September 27, 1899. in Cumming. Georgia. His arrival marked the culmination of a six week wagon journey by his par ents to that remote rural area to visit his father’s brother. His first glimmerings of ambi tion were toward competitive sports rather than medicine —specifically to golf. He became an expert links man and looked forward to becom ing a professional golfer when he entered Emorv College at Oxford, Georgia in 1917. But World War I frustrated that hope and, after he returned to Emory from Officers Training School in Louisville, he was al ready on his way to the medical degree that came in 1924. He be came a sturgical house officer at Peter eßnt Brigham Hospital, Bos ton. then a resident in urology and general surgery at the old Lake side Hospital, Cleveland. In 1927 he opened his office for private practice in Orlando. Although World War I ended be fore young Douis Orr could see service. World War II broke out in tim®. H e entered service in 1942 at age 42, as a major and then rose to full colonel in the Army Medical Corps. He served first as executive officer and later com manding officer of the 15th Hos pital Center, ETO. from 1943 until mustered out in 1945 A slim wiry' man who looks many years younger than his 59, Dr. Orr has always acted on the belief that "in the field of medicine we must combat a temptation to restrict ourselves to our speciality.” A devout churchman, he recently received a citation from the Cath edral School as a “patron of the arts and beloved citizens of Or lando.” He was president of the Central Florida Civic Music Asso ciation for 17 years. He served as a trustee of Rollins College, Winter Park, Fla. And there was still time for golf, rifle shooting, photo graphy, and flower growing. Dr. and Mrs. Orr have been mar ried for 31 years. They have two children, a son, Louis McDonald, now in his third year in medicine at Emory, and a daughter, Doris Brown, who will enter college in September. . ■ The Forsyth Comity News OFFICIAL. ORGAN OF FORSYTH COUNTY & CITY OF CUMMING DEVOTED TO THE DEVELOPMENT OF FORSYTH, FULTON, CHEBO KKE, DAWSON, LUMPKIN. HALL ANO GWINNETT COUNTIES. (City Population 2,500) EVERY CHRISTIAN IS CALLED! Every Christian may be used of God if he will determine once for all to do what he can for God’s glory in serving his fellowman. If we will but see every person, on the face o fthe earth, as people for whom Christ died —and love them with a Christ-like love. One thing is sure, we will be living with peo ple throughout all of our lives upon earth. If we are fellowers of Christ we should certainly do all we can to influence others to fol low Christ. If you have found peace of mind and heart in follow ing Christ you would surely want to tell others about it. If your faith in Christ as your personal saviour has given real meaning to life —your life —you surely will want to tell others about it. For example, there is no record of Matthew preaching a great ser mon as Simon Peter preached at Pentecost, but Mathetw kept on doing what he knew how to do— WRITING. He is remembebred and appreciated as the author of one of the Gospels. Dorcas knew how to use a needle—so she sewed gar ments for the poor. Andrew knew how to introduce people to Jesus so he continued to bring people to Jesus. Fanny Crosby and many other gospel singers—sang the gos pel and thereby was instrumental in leading many to the saviour. “Whether you eat or drink or whatsoever you do, do it all to the glory of God.” It is so important to help young boys and girls to think about the goodness of God and the love of God in Christ. To guide those little minds toward God is a wonderful calling. A Christian teacher is call ed of God to teach those children about the love of God for them. God calls! Will you answer? Have you ever felt impressed to give your time and talent more fully in the service of your Mas ter? God has given everyone of us some talents (if only one). Use the talent or talents you have in winning others to the Saviour. That is exactly what God wants you to do. DO WHAT YOU CAN. W. R.

Williams, Crist county farmer, is finding that production of certified seed fits in well with his successful farming operation, according to Hugh A. Inglis, agro nomist in charge of seed certifi cation for the University of Geor gia Agricultural Extension Service. Last year, the agronomist said. Mr. Williams grew 50 acres of certified Dixie 18 seed corn, one acre of certified Coastal Bermuda stolens, and one acre of certified Suwanee Bermuda. “The certified seed Mr. Williams and other certified growers are producing are helping to increase yields and farm income in the state,” Mr. Inglis said. Mr. Wil liams is co-chairman of the certi fication committee of the Georgia Crop Improvement Association. Mr. Williams is a member of the Bale and Half Cotton club conduct ed by the Extension Service of the College of Agriculture. Last year he averaged 782 pounds of lint cotton per acre on 23 acres. He did this, Mr. Inglis said, by follow ing College of Agriculture recom mendations on soil testing, fertili zation, cultural practices and in sect control. To produce this crop he used certified Plains seed planted in 38 inch rows. At planting, he applied 800 pounds of s—l fertilizer and side dressed with 67 pounds of nitrogen per acre. He poisoned insects six times.

OUR NATIONAL LEADERS CAN LEAD THE WORLD IN OUTLAWING WAR By RICHARD C. RODGERS, M. D. (This is a series of articles that will continue from week to w’eek until the End). The more powerful nations usu ally are motivated by the convict ion that their security depends upon the acquision of a greater military force than any possible enemy. When the military leaders of two unfriendly states decide they need a positive “balance of power" for security, an arms race insvitably develops. Each nation embroiled in an arms race seeks to increase its power by forming alliances and compeing for the co operation and help of as many un committed nations as feasible. In the struggle tht ensues, the press of each nation pictures the anta gonist as evil an solidifies public opinion against it. The amount of hostility, fear and distrust of each side toward the other gradually in creases. In the atmosphere of pub lic opinion which then follows, it is rare that creative forces gain a fair hearing in any attempt to find a middle ground and approach a solution With intelligence and ob jectivity. Such objectivit is viewed with suspicion by vast majorities on each side. The foreign policies of nations engaged in an arma ments race eventually become dead locked. When it is apparent that negotiations can not break the deadlock, the climate is ready tor military action. It can begin with a spark that ignites the powers into total violence (such as the assassination of Archduke Francis Ferdinand before World War I), jor with a surprise attack (such as 1 Pearl Harbor). , While national leaders, using dip lomacy backed by the threat of armed force, may steer their nat ions down the narrow course of peace for an interval, eventually disputes will arise. Lacking mach inery whereby disputes may be sol ved through peaceful means, nat ions will be tempted to resort to the use of force or threat of force. i Today, nations are relying upon [1 he threat of nuclear retaliation in jan effort to avoid war. But, can this really prevent war? Certainly, neither the U. S. A. nor Russia, assuming sanity on both sides, would unleash a war in th face of certain retaliation and almost com plete destruction of their respect ive nations—unless they felt that the other side had decided upon war and hat was was inevitable. However, there is no great assur ance that snity will always prevail and that command decisions will never be made by irrational, para noid or insne individuals—or bv individuals overcome with fear and hostility. Actually, the concept of retaliation does not give even a reasonable guarantee against war occurring in the future. In fet this concept, in the nuclear age, almost insures that catastrophic war will develop, given enough time. Be cause a surprise attack might eli minate many, if not most of the centers of retaliation, it is neces sary that retallatin to be initiated almost instantly upon the first dis covery of atack or approaching at tack. This creates a situation never before experienced in history, where war can be triggered acci dentally or by design from any one of thousands of subordinate officers or enlisted men. From pre determined retaliation plans of the U. S. A. and the U. S. S. R., civili zation could be destroyed within minutes or hours, if only one plane or submarine commander should fabricate a false order and pass it to the members of his crew. Ac tually, the destruction of the world may now hinge uon the foolish ness of one person. We stand in mortal danger and this danger stems as much from our own wea pons as from the nuclear weapons controlled by the individuals in Russia’s military forces. Regarding the inevitability of a catastrophic war in a world which looks only to national military force for security, Dr. Harrison Brown stated: “Imagine if you will a w’orld in which nuclear weapons of all sizes have become commonplace anil widespread. Couple this with the ever-present possibility of rash Number 26. military action such as we have just witnessed in Tunisia. Add la this the pros|xst that rash ai-tiona can be precipitated in virtually every region of the globe. Mix with this the consideration that indlvv dual human beings arc moiV likely to act in a crisis on the basis of heated emotions and deep-seatrdi fears than on the basis of consider ed judgment. Add to this the ex tent to whch Ignorance permeates human society. Add, for what it bt worth, our kknowledge from past history concerning the frequency of wars. Now examine all of these factors and ask yourselves for how long a time you honestly helievfe violence on a large scale can be avoided. Our opinions will, of course, vary, but I believe that most of us who are able to divorce ourselves from our tendency to indulge in wishful thinking would agree that the time which stands between us and large-scale disaster some place in the world is agonis ingly short.” History records over eight thou sands wars in three thousand years Surely this tells us that the nat ions or other political units of the past lacked a suitable mechanism to prevent war between them. Re liance upon national military pre paration has failed over and over gain to preserve pece. The conclus j ion is lmost inescapable that war i between nations will continue until 'they achieve anew device, never | before in existence, for ppreventing .war between them. The time has come when nations must seek methods other than mili tary for their survival. It is imper ative that they establish adequate j methods and machinery which ran j assure a durble nd stable peaee and the continued progress of civili zation. It is a fearful and awesome ordeal to speculate how perilously short may be the time for such a momentous accomplishment. , What are the Minimum Require ments for Outlawing War? Can nations achieve anew ear, free from war? Only if they carr ! correctly define the basic funda ; mentals that are necessary to eli minate war and then quickly pro ceed in the construction of ad** quate machinery built upon these fundamental priciples to prohibi* further- war. Accuracy of national thought in the approach to the problem is vital. In the past, nat ions could err time and time again and still survive. Error today in safeguarding against war could mean national suicide and probably destruction of civiliztion. If our nation and its people were threatened with extinction from an epidemic disease, we should de mand that it expend great effort, utilizing all available resources to determine scientifically the cause and cure of this disease. If ancient remedies had failed, we would ex pect that they would quickkly be replaced with new and workable remedies. Today, our nation and its people are seriously threatened with ex tinction, not from disease btu from an age-old malady—war, with a new but fatal virility, the nuclear weapon. The responsibility of find ing the cure to this threat belongs to our national government. This responsibility, the abolition of war, is so clear cut that one would ex pect to find our national govern ment maintaining a department of peace, endorsing research for peace in most colleges and universities, encouraging the teaching of scienti fic principles of peace in all high schools nad colleges and sponsor ing 'international seminars where scientists of peace could exchange the fruits of their research ami study. Furthermore, since peace is (dependent upon mutual cooperation |of the world’s nations i nthe estab i lishment of adequate machinery, one would expect our national gov ernment to be makking a mighty effort to persuade other national governments to assume the re sponsibility for the education of their own people on basic princi ples of peace. Such efforts could oroduee a world climate of opinion that would insure the quick coop eration of at least the majority of nations in efforts to jointly estab (Carried to Society Page)
