SURPLUS IS EXPENSIVE
New York -UPD- Uncle Sam
is spending $1,500,000 a day
just to store the surplus grain
that keeps piling higher in
the nation's storage bins. The
U.S. already has more than
$9 billion invested in price
supported farm products, and
the cost is climbing at the rate
of some $3 billion annually,

Washington -(UPD-. The Fed
eral Aviation Agency has. be

monitoring of all scheduled
airline training programs and
flight operations to search
out and correct irregularities
and deficiencies, according to
FAA ' Administrator Elwood
R. Quesada. . .
ing wrong could be found to
explain her distress. Great
confuson was then caused by
a man who thought he could
see a crack in one of her pel
vic bones. With this opmion to
back her up, the woman re
fused to accept the settlement
offered her, and demanded
more money.
Because she was quite with
out funds, from the first, all
her expenses had been borne
by her (moderate income) fam
ily. I was impressed by such
facts as that the accident had
been a minor one; that I could
not find any sign of an injury,
and she Had shown no im
provement in 14 months.
jne saa feature about a
case like hers is that, after a
year of illness, if a doctor
were to suggest that the symp
toms were all due to anxiety,
the, woman's reaction would
be one of great anger; all she
would do would be to order
the doctor out of her room.
Went Back To Work
In this case I advised the
family to tell the woman
what was true, that they were
broke, and could no longer go
on paying ( her many bills.
With this, she got up out of
her bed, she dropped her law
suit, and went back to work.
I knew her for years after
ward, during which time she
remained perfectly well. I
could describe many such
cases.
For instance, an ' athletic
young woman from a wealthy,
but "screw-bally" f amilyv
slipped on the floor of a gym
nasium and felt a jab of pain
in her back. Being by nature
a great worry-wart, she hur
ried to see her doctor. On x-
raying her back, he thought
he could see "a bad fracture.'
"She had a broken back," so
he rushed her to a hospital,
and there put on a big body
cast. The lady settled down
happily into the life of the
hospital and remained there
for much of a year.
Then came Pearl Harbor
Day, and she jumped up out
of bed; had the cast cut off;
and joined the WAAC's. With
out one bit of pain, she
worked hard all through the
War. On returning home and
leaving the Army, she again
felt a little pain in her back,
Her old doctor said that her
back was still broken, and
Dut her again into a cast,
Again, there were months of
hospitalization, until her fam
ily objected, and brought her
to see me. - "
One glance at . the x-ray
films of her back showed that,
instead of a fracture, all she
had was a congenital pecul
iarity, something she had had
from birth. Expert x-ray men
agreed with me. It seemed ob
vious that all the woman naa
was hysteria (not hysterics).'
Went Back to Cast
Accordingly, I took off her
cast and threw it away. Next
day, I took away her wheel
chair, and then I took away
her crutches. For a week she
walked about town with her
mother, but then, like so many
Dersons of this type, sne got
more and more annoyed be
cause her pet illness had been
taken away from her. fane
turned angrily on me, and
went back to her sympathetic
doctor and another big cast,
Now, if I had shown that
woman to a jury of psychia
trists, neurologists, orthope
dists. and roentgenologists,
am sure they would all have
greed in a few minutes on
three points: (1) that the bacK
was normal: (2) that the acci
dent was too slight to have
broken any bones; (3) that no
person with a broken back
could have suddenly gotten up
and gone to work, and (4) that
the woman- had behaved

throughout - in a typically
psychotic way.
But what chance would I
have had if I had had to go
into court to try to prove these
.contentions before a jury of
lay men and women . who
never in their lives had seen a
case of severe hysteria like
that? If the woman had been
wheeled into court in her hip
cast,; and her doctor had assured-the
jury that, in his
opinion, she was ruined for
life, I would not have expect
ed: them to believe what I said.
They would probably have
awarded her tremendous dam
ages.
Jumps Out of Bed
Sometimes we doctors will
be almost certain of hysteria,
and yet unable to prove it,
until perhaps the woman rives
nerseu away-as when, while
apparently very ill, she jumps
out or bed and goes to a dance!
I remember a voune woman
from Cuba, who, in a hospi
tal bed in Minnesota, lay
groaning and writhing with,
what she said was unbearable
pain in her stomach..
As I watched her. I had
grave doubts about the realitv
of this pain. Then her mother
remarked that it was snow
ing. With this, the eirL who
had never seen snow, jumped
up and ran tovthe window.
where she stood for the next
half -hour entranced with the
sight of the falling flakes.
Later, her home surgeon ex
plored her abdomen and found
nothing wrong.
My feeling is strong that
some day in the future iuries
that must decide in recard to
a highly technical problem,
that needs a world of train
ing and experience, will have
to be made up of experts in
