(INS) An elderly truck driver said yesterday he had participated in a wholesale pilferage ring believed to have stolen more than annually in food and other supplies from the Kankakee State Hospital.

Police Chief Wallace Flannery disclosed that Ferdinand Foster, 64, of Kankakee, an employee of the hospital since 1937, admitted he had helped steal state property during the last nine years and had intensified his activities since 1949. D. E. Fulcher, assistant director of state welfare, reported that Foster had implicated other employes. Fulcher added that investiga tion of the huge thefts was con tinuing and other arrests would be made later.

Flannery reported that he had confiscated 150 pounds of meat, large amounts of clothing and shoes, and linen belonging to the institution which had been found in Foster's home. He said the meat was enclosed in state hospital wrappers and some sheets apparently had been bleached and corners cut off to remove marks of identification. Flannery added that Foster confessed he had sold large quantities of stolen hams for $3 apiece and butter for 20 cents a pound, Dr. Otto Betteg, state welfare director, revealed that Foster's arrest and confession had fol lowed a probe of the cost of oper atmg state mstitutions. List Reflects Expansion Lag WASHINGTON (AP) A slow down in defense plant expansions was reflected yesterday in government approval of only 54 programs for federal tax benefits.

The list, representing a private industry investment of was the shortest so far issued by the Office of Defense Mobiliza tion in its biweekly announcement of certificates of necessity granted. The approvals brought the total of government-aided plant and equipment expansions to $28,187,492,000. The ODM certificate entitles a company to write oil in live years, in depreciation for federal tax purposes, a specified percentage of the cost of an expansion project which is labeled es sential to national defense.

KNEELAND Republic Staff Writer YUMA The laws of this country, and the loopholes in them, are partly responsible both for the trerriendous illegal influx of Mexican nationals across the border 15,000 in a single month into Yuma County and for the treatment accorded them.

For example, it is not against the law for a farmer, or for a non-farmer, who contracts with farmers to furnish labor, to employ a wetback. But it is a violation to "knowingly employ" such an illegal entrant. Yet there is nothing in the law which requires a farmer or labor contractor to require each applicant for work to furnish proof of U.S. citizenship. Agricultural workers are not under social security and thus have no security card or number; and American citizens are not required to carry proof of citizenship with them at all times.

THUS THE employer of an applicant for work particularly at a time when a crop is ripening and workers are needed during a meeting of the Phoenix Optimist Club. Members of the legislature srve at considerable sacrifice to themselves, Dr. Salsbury said, and they try to give the people what they need and want in the way of a health program. REGARDLESS of who is to blame, the fact is that Arizona has a long way to go to get a satisfactory public health set-up, Dr. Salsbury told the Optimists.

Arizona spends less money for public health than any of the other southwestern states. It's $184,000 this year contrasts unfavorably with $420,000 budgeted by Colorado for public health purposes; $350,000 by New Mexico, and more than $500,000 by Utah. The per capita expenditure for public health is 215 cents in Arizona as compared with the national average of 58 cents. As a result, although nature has provided no finer place for good health than Arizona, man-made problems have dropped it low on the scale of good health, Dr. Salsbury said.

ARIZONA had 402 deaths from tuberculosis last year along with 2,365 new cases. Both are well above comparative figures for neighboring states. The venereal disease rate was fourth among the 48 states, Dr. Salsbury continued. And to those who say these diseases are private problems, he pointed out that there are 107 persons with neuro-syphilis in the state hospital.

The average life expectancy is 10 years, indicating the financial load on state taxpayers is worthy of everyone's concern.

His home here was at 737 W. Moreland. For many years Mr. Lauder dale worked wtfh the state commission of agriculture and horticulture to get adequate financing for the agfficy and better wages for its employes. HE WAS ACTIVE in the state agricultural inspection program which has been largely responsible for Arizona's record of having fewer insect pests and plant diseases than any other state.

He is survived by his wife. Amy, of Phoenix; a son, Robert, of Corvallis, and a daughter, May Belle Lauderdale, San Francisco, Calif. Funeral services will be handled by A. L. Moore and Sons Mortuary.

Dentist Sued For $102,000 A Phoenix widow sued her dentist for $102,000 yesterday on grounds that he injured her spine in the process of extracting some teeth. She is Mrs. Daisy M. Stokes, 37, of 4023 E. Flower.

Her superior court suit names Dr. L. B. Stallcup, Professional Building, as defendant. Her complaint asserts her spine and right arm were injured while she was under a general anesthetic in the dentist's chair.

Three neck vertebrae were destroyed, she alleges, i Mrs! Stokes currently is in Indianapolis receiving medical treatment, her attorney said. 44 WEST ADAMS i i I But there's a "price war" on foot, apparently; for a labor contractor was found who had agreed to pick a cotton field at a fraction above 2 cents a pound. IN MOST instances, the infractors pay the pickers about -cent a pound less than they are receiving. If they pay the picker 2 cents, they're probably getting 3 cents; and they make 50 cents on each hundred pounds picked. A good picker averages around 300 pounds a day; and the contractor gets $1.50 for the picker's work.

Some contractors work 100 or more some up to 600 or 700 pickers a day. AND MOST OF the contractors admitted their 50-cent per 100 pounds take. That seemed to be the standard. But, across the border in Mexico, deported wets told of receiving 2 cents a pound a few said it was less for their work. Invariably, these deported wetbacks did not know the names of employers; all they knew was the rate of pay they received; and it could be that, the contractor was getting maybe double the standard "contract take" for their work.

IF A MAN with a cotton sack goes back and forth down the rows of cotton and then, with sack filled, walks to the weigh ing scales, he's paid off right there at whatever the rate may be 2 cents or 2Vi cents, on an average, per pound. Nobody employed the picker. He just snook in" and started. Nobody asks anybody anything. It's weigh and pay until patrol inspectors of the immigration service step in and corral the wetbacks for deportation.

What pennies or dollars they've made, they retain. And then they wait across the border for night to fall before they start back again to resume their interrupted picking. cases in Arizona at present, he estimated, and about 12 per cent of these will wind up in the state hospital. "Who will bear the cost of this care?" he asked. "WHO WILL bear the cost of welfare work with the families of these people?" It is definitely a public health problem, he declared, and-an adequate program would greatly reduce the toll.

Finally, there is the problem of infant mortality. The rate is increasing, a fact which can be linked directly to the "destruction of the state sanitation code by the supreme court." The rate at present is 44.1 per 1,000 live births, meaning, he explained, that for every 1,000 babies born, more than 44 will not reach their first birthday. Even with the Indians and their high infant mortality rate removed from the statistics, the state's rate is 35.6. THE 28.6. NATIONAL average is Again, Dr.

Salsbury contended, much of this difference in state and national death rates Could be eliminated by an adequate public health program. "Public health is something that can be purchased the question is, do we want to purchase it?" he concluded.

His time was 20.4 seconds. treat for the purse.

99 mm mr m. V3off does not inquire as to nationality. However at least along the Southwestern border there is always the fear that perhaps the applicant for work is a wet; and the "aloof treatment" ensues. Here's why: It is definitely a violation of federal law to "harbor or conceal" an illegal entrant such as a wetback. And, to provide a cabin or similar shelter for such a worker might be construed as providing "harbor" or "concealment." So the workers go shelterless.

MANY FARMERS prefer to have their cotton picked by a labor contractor particularly if their acreage is small and thus deny responsibility for the nationality-status of those who do the work. The contractor then is the man to see. And there are a number of such labor contractors in the Yuma area. Some of Yuma's farmers agree to pay the contractor 3 cents a pound that's the contractural price for bracero (legally-admitted) Mexican laborers.
