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.

Medical management firms woo
clients with the promise of re

the financial details of their prac
