/ • I Clinton, 8. C. f Thursday, January 3, 1963 THE CLINTON CHRONICLE / 9 COMMENTS ON MEN AND THINGS Well, here is a tonic, the charge of a Mississipi Judge to a grand fairy. We should remem ber that |the Kennedys violated and trampled on the Constitution and the sacred liberties of thous ands of citizens in order to curry favor with the Colored citizens. Unless we rebuke the arrogant attitude, and acts of the Kennedy clan we shall establish a prece dent that some day may be used against Colored people by a new crowd in Washington. A National policy or program of tit-fdr-tat would be a national calamity, but evil and unlawful acts by Gov ernment officials can become pre cedents of opposition to Colored people. fhe Kennedys may think they have won a great victory but-it is what was once called a Pyrr hic victory, meaning that a vic tory may result in a greater dis aster later. ^ The Mississippi Judge was de claring the old, established law of the land in his charge to the Grand Jury; he spoke the lan guage of ancidht liberty in the face of a Kennedy violation of sacred rights of free men. quote the Associated Press dispatch, as published in The State: '“Circuit Judge W. M. O’Barr ordered the Lafayette County grand jury Monday to refuse ev idence gathered by what he call ed unlawful Army searches and said the Kennedy administration was moving toward a totalitarian dictatorship. The strongly worded charge came with indications that in dictments may be returned against those involved in recent rioting and demonstrations since the entrance of James H. Mere dith to the University of Missis sippi . . . —^ ’ O’Barr said the search of stu dents’ rooms at Ole Miss by soldiers was ‘in violation of ev ery constitutional provision knowq to man. Every man shall be free from unlawful search and seizure’. •: He added ‘I instruct you nof to consider any evidence brought before you which may have been obtained by an unlawful search at the University of Mississippi’. O’Barr cited the presence of steel-helmeted Army soldiers in Oxford’s town square as a de plorable circumstance to have to begin a court term’. The native Mississippi judge, a graduate of the Cumberland University Law School, said the constiution had been ‘shorn of all meaning by a diabolical poli tical Supreme Court made up of politically greedy old men who are not qualified to serve as a judge of any court . . . ’. ‘This court, together with the hungry, mad, ruthless, ungodly,- .power-mad men who would change this government from a democracy to a totalitarian dic tatorship, have attempted to crush the people of this state through the excuse of upholding and enforcing an unlawful order that had not become final’.” after hanging out his shingle here, Dr. J. was grossing $28,000 a year as a general practitioner. But he had worked himself deep ly into debt and was delinquent in his income tax. He had to make more money. Dr. J. turned to Medical Ad ministrative Services, a Los An geles concern specializing in the management of physicians’ end dentists’ business -and personal affairs. He followed the firm’s detailed plan for increasing his income and reducing his expen ses. Now, 18 months later, Dr. J.’S receipts are running at the rate of $36,000 a year, and he has paid off $6,000 in debts. Medical Administrative Ser vices is one of a rising number of ‘medical management’ firms which specialize in serving as a combination accountant, efficien cy Expert, bill collector, business consultant and personal adviser for doctors and dentists. The rel atively new field already has a trade association, the Society of Professional Business Consult ants, headquartered in Chicago, Founded in 1956 with nine mem ber firms, the society now con sists of 21 organizations. The members vary widely in size. Black & Skaggs Associates, Inc., Battle Creek, Mich., serves some 4,000 doctors and 1,000 dentists through franchises in nearly a score of cities. Medical Adminis trative Services here has only about 100 clients. dent of Medical Administrative Services, told Dr. J he needed to ‘get out in the public eye and meet more people’ to enlarge his practice. The doctor promptly joined a civic club, and his wife became an active member of the League of Women Voters. Soon more patients be^an show ing up in the doctor’s office. The Management firm looked at Dr. J.’s schedule of fees and found some were lower - than those charged by other physicians in the same area of the city; the doctor raised these fees. Medical Administrative Services also be gan sending out frequent letters dunning delinquent patients; the Collection rate on Dr. J.’s bills subsequently rose to 90% from 80%. Turning to Dr. J.’s personal finances, Mr. Campbell sternly told the doctor his expenditures were excessive. ‘He had bought a big house, made investments that would burden him for years to come and was spending too much on day-to-day extravagances and trips to Las Vegas,’ said Mr. Campbell. -■ On occasion Professional Man agement Corp. has even taken a hand in decorating ‘a doctor’s office. It suggested to one phy sician that the funeral dark pur ple walls of his reception room might be one of the reasons his patients were drifting away. The doctor had the room redecorated in a cheerier color, and his prac tice picked up. Although medical managers claim they usually can increase a doctor’s rate of collections from patients, they say they don’t fol low the practices of bill collection agencies. Threats qf legal action are avoided. When Medical Ad ministrative Services in Los An geles tackles a delinquent patient, it sends out statements stamped Audited: E. H. Wallace’. Mr. Wallace, the firm’s president, says this tactic provides a ‘third party touch, so the patient doesn’t get mad at the doctor,’ but im plies the doctor is anxious for his money. Only after a bill is de linquent Yor a year does Mr. Wal lace advise a client to turn it over to a collection agency . . . I’m sorry I told the Doctors all that.

Co. STATIONERY DEPARTMENT Lydia News (Continued from Page 8) We are hearing from the medi cal Doctors: “A little more than a year Medical management firms woo clients with the promise of re lieving them of worries about the financial details of their prac tices—tax returns, monthly in come statements, delinquent bills and the like—so they can con centrate on treating patients. But the firms often are called in initially when a physician or dentist finds himself in financial difficulties, as was the case with Dr. J. Robert E.
