I I-c57 , -( Insanity a Handy Loophole The recent acquittal of Carol Ann Paight, Stam ford, Conn., college girl who killed her cancer-tortured father, may have written "finis" in that particu lar case but it leaves the whole question of guilt in so called mercy killing completely unanswered. a e e a e CAROL ANN was cleared through pleading insan ity, a plea which it took a jury of parents only a few minutes over two hours to uphold. It must be recognized that the girl, like anyone else in similar circumstances, with a loved one suffer ing acutely from incurable disease, might be greatly overwrought. Whether that condition should be termed insanity and whether it should be viewed as legally sufficient to excuse slaying, is something else again. a a a a e THE STAMFORD verdict, in its "mercy" aspects, is looked upon by many as foretelling acquittal for Dr. Herman Sander who is to be tried in New Hamp shire on a first degree murder charge in connection with another euthanasia case, this victim a woman pa tient suffering from cancer. ..see IF SUCH acquittal verdicts are to be the pattern, the question arises, what should be done in cases like that of 29-year-old John Purevich of Gary, Ind.? Purevich decided that his 65-year-old steelwork er father, Alex, was "too old to live." While the mother and four children were at a movie one night 1 t 1 1 1 ! I ,1 last week, the son, an unemployed minnana execuieu his father with a shotgun. Repairing to another- room he sat calmly down and read until others of the fam ily returned. ... JUDGING their actions strictly from the standpoint of mental balance or imbalance, we would say John Purevich is insane, but in his case, we hazard the prediction there will be no absolution on that account. He will be punished that is to say, he will be placed under restraint. And if so, the inevitable conclusion must be that mnniai pnnrlitinn is not. after all. the maior factor con sidered bv juries, that circumstances alter cases and that we do in fact condone so-called "mercy killing."

WILLIAM BRADY, M.D. Readers should address inquiries to: Dr. William Brady, 265 El Camino. Beverly Hills. Calif. EXCESSIVE WAX IN EAR The amount of wax which may accumulate in an ear has aston ished many a person when a doc tor has 'deliv ered " it. For some unknown reason, usually but one ear has the tendency to over - produce wax, although o c c s s ionally both ears may be so affected E x c e s sive wax causes sur prisingly little i n t e rference Dr. Brady with hearing unless it presses against the drum mem brane. Wax in the ear may trap water which presses against the drum, causing deafness and call ing attention to the presence of the previously unsuspected ex cess of wax. The excessive wax may be soft, but often is quite hard. Dried out wax may accumulate a large amount of debris from the cast off colls of the skin of the ear canal, and assume a stone-like structure which entails considerable difficulty in remov al. Removing wax from the car may take anywhere from five minutes to an hour of the doc tor's time. If the ear canal is wide and straight, usually the offending wax may be readily removed. Often, the canal is narrow and twisted and removal is difficult and tedious. Armed with appro priate instruments, the doctor may be able to remove the wax directly, but very often it be comes necessary to wash the wax out as the use of instruments in the car is painful, and injury to the ear is thus avoided. If the wax is very dry and hard, the doctor may instill a softening agent on the first visit and re move the wax on the second visit. An excess of wax may cause a chronic irritation of the canal and lead to the habit of digging in the ear with a hair-pin or toothpick. This in turn may lead to an Infection of the canal at tended by deafness and pain. The skin of the canal is tightly ad herent to the underlying struc tures and even a slight swell ing in the skin causes very pain ful pressure. A fact often overlooked is that an excess of wax in the ear may be the cause of a chronic, persistent cough. This is due to a reflex nervous action. Many cases of this sort have been cured by removal of the offending wax. Even probing into the ear may cause a patient to cough, so sen sitive is this nervous connec tion. A person who is troubled by excessive secretion of wax should seek medical attention at frequent intervals in order to , avoid painful, long drawn-out ordeals. There is no known j means of preventing an excess i of wax from forming. I. do not advise the self-use of an ear syringe or other self-employed method for the removal of wax. Nor do I advise the per iodic dropping of oil or glycer ine into the ear for the purpose of keeping the wax poft Any manipulation of the car. which is so sensitive to infection and injury, should be undertaken only by n physician who has the means to treat the member with properly sterilized and appro priate instruments. The practice of shaking the head and pulling upon the ear. often resorted to by swimmers i in an effort to dislodge trapped water, is harmless enough. But unless water runs freely out of the car. the swimmer would be well advised to have the situa tion remedied by a physician at his earliest opportunity. The possibility of "punctur ing the drum" with a hair-pin. nail, toothpick or other crude instrument is. I believe, quite remote. But the blind introduc tion of an unstcrilized instru ment into the canal may result in an infection. If a perforation ex ists, unknown, in the drum, it can readily be understood that the self-introduction of oil or water may result in a sccre in Jiaafc.

However, it may interest you to know 68 per cent of married couples in the United States now have twin beds. Be fore World War II only 25 per cent of the married slept in sep arate beds. The average sleeper, male or female, changes position from 20 to 40 times a night. The average double bed is 54 inches wide. That gives each occupant onlv 27 inches to toss around in. It is not enough. Especially if one of the occupants has cold feet. It is usually the wife who has the cold feet and the husband is too gallant to complain about it. Sad Films Among the forthcoming fea ture films is "The Outbreak" which is about the bubonic plague in New Orleans; "The Killer That Stalked New York," dealing with smallpox, and "Never Fear," which concerns polio. Also "The Men," in which Marlon Brando will make his film debut in wheelchair por traying a paraplegic.

I am informed the bauern schmaus consists of a slice of roast pork, a slice of smoked pork, a kidney, a small steak, a slice of liver and some potatoes. Checker-Uppers Now I am being harassed by specialized checker-uppers. In Laguna Beach, Cal.. I have a reader who checks all theatrical items appearing in this column. He's very sharp, too. He goes back to the days when James A. Heme starred in "Shore Acres" and Mrs. Leslie Carter was play ing in "The Heart of Maryland." Incidentally, he says that the play with the longest title of all time was "The Fool Hath Said in His Heart That There Is No God," which was produced by David Belasco in 1905 with E. H. Sothern starred. Asking Queries from clients: Q. So a dog is smarter than a horse, you say. All right, we won't argue. But tell us which is the smarter, a horse or a mule? A. Mister, three you have an argument. Most people claim a mule is smarter. They say, for example, that if a horse is entangled in a barbed wire fence he will strug gle to get out and cut himself ail up. But that a mule in the same predicament will wait for some man to come along and cut him out. That rnay be true of some horses, but not of those western cow ponies. Some of those cow ponies are nearly as smart as dogs. Another smart tvpe of horse is the polo pony. Then there is the Tennessee walking horse. Many thorough breds are so smart they are al most human.

Something New Hardly a day passes I don't learn something new. I am afraid I will soon have so much infor mation on my mind I will start having headaches. Anyway, to day I learned that when couple applies for a marriage license in Seattle, the city present the bride with a cook book. In the Day's News By FRANK JENKINS This interesting dig patch comes from Washington: "Senator Elmer Thomai (Dem ocrat, from Oklahoma) today proposed 'production payment' plan as a solution to the govern ment's surplus potato problem. "Thomas said . . . ne inienas to introduce a bill ... to: "1. Allow market prices of potatoes to reach their own mar ket levels without price support ing loans and "2. Assure farmers of pay ments from the treasury to bring their potato returns up to 75 per cent of parity." OARITY is a standard fixed V by the government, intended to assure farmers a return on their crops in fair relation to the price of things they must buy). IpHAT is to say: If Senator Thomas' bill should become law, potatoes will sell on the market for what they will bring. The potato farmer will then be paid in cash from the treasury enough to bring his price up to three- fourths of parity. It is obvious that the Thomas plan would be a trial run of the controversial Brannan plan ON POTATOES ONLY with this difference. The Brannan plan called for 100 per cent of par ity for several basic crops where as the Thomas plan would pro vide 75 per cent of parity on potatoes only I think this much will have to be admitted: Either the Brannan plan or the Thomas plan would at least provide lower prices to the con sumer and to that extent would STIMULATE CONSUMPTION. That would be less absurd than the present system under which the consumer gets no price ad vantage and high-priced potatoes accumulate in government ware houses and (since potatoes are perishable) may eventually have to be destroyed. BUT let's get on with the Wash ington dispatch. It adds: "Senator Anderson (Democrat, from New Mexico, former secre tary of agriculture) and Senate Majority Leader Lucas (Demo crat, from Illinois) have publicly announced they favor withdraw ing all mandatory price props from potatoes unless congress passes CONTROLS OVER BOTH PLANTING AND MARKETING OF THE POTATO CROP. That means: 1. Throwing the potato grow er out on his own to sink or swim with no help in the way of sup port prices, or 2. Telling him flatly how many acres he can plant and how many potatoes he can sell. Alternative No. 2 would amount to complete regimenta tion of potato growing, PERSONALLY, I think that if everybody else is to be voted rich the farmer must also be voted rich. But anybody can see the trend the situation is following. This is it: Consumers outnumber farm ers. Under existing systems, the consumer continues to pay high prices for price-supported crops and at the same time pays his share of the taxes required to provide the government money to support the crops. If this trend continues, the farmer is going to lose out in the ensuing political conflict with the more numerous consumer class.
