" In a recent article, Dr. Hen ry I. Russek of Staten Island, New York, presented statistics to show that those medical i p e c 1 a 1 i sts who live a oulet and fair ly easy life in an office' have a low inci dence of heart attacks, while general practi tioners who are on duty 24 hours out of 24 have the highest incidence. Coronary disease Is seen three time more often in general practitioners than In doctors Who work in a laboratory.. 1 Th itudles of Drs. Morris, Heady and Barley in England showed that British general practitioners have about twice as high an incidence of coro- ' nary heart disease as do many medical specialists. Dr. H. L. Smith, of the Mayor Clinic, found the Incidence of coro nary heart disease in physi cians twice that of the same disease in the Clinic patients. Figures obtained by Drs.

She has Introduced a resolution calling for creation of a special Senate committee on consumer interests. The idea is catching on. So far 14 other senators have joined her as co-sponsors of the resolution. -: Sen. Wayne Morse is one of them. If such a committee should be estab lished,, it would exercise more power than a single freshman senator can possibly muster in pressing for protective measures. Mrs. Neuberger took note of several developments, in cluding a Federal Trade Com mission investigation "into de ceptive and misleading prac tices in advertising certain Roundup ConiulUnt In Hldlclnt Mavn Cllnln Emtrltui Profeuor ol Meolcln Mayo CUnlc (Reflitor and Trlbunt Syndicate, 1961) I making him confess that, after graduation, he had not: had five years of extra training in surgery. I recently talked to one of the leading skin spe cialists in the country, and he told me he quit using st rays in his office because of the legal dangers. Recently, a man sued and, I understand, obtained damages simply be cause his wife said that after having been x-rayed she had developed a great fear of the rays. As my friend said, there are certain skin conditions which are best treated by x- rays, but today he doesn't care to run the risk of being sued. One of the miserable fea tures about the present-day craze for suing doctors is that It is now costing many pa tients larjre sums for needless x-ray and other studies, and needless consultations, Let us f y that a child has fallen down and bumped himself a bit. Some years ago any able physician, seeing the child wide-awake and wanting to run around and- play, would perhaps examine his bones for a few minutes and) say, "I see nothing wrong with him." If the child were in hls'own family he would make no fur ther studies. But now the doc tor may feel he had1 better go ahead and order x-ray film ' made of the child' whole body. Why? because, if later, the parent should sue, a lawyer could "make a mon key" out of the - doctor by asking, "Why didn't you get x-ray mm made7 Why didn't you call a consultant? Don't you think you showed igno rance and gross negligence?" When my children were mall, two of them fell while running and got what Is called "green-stick fracture" of one of the bones of the forearm. Their pediatrician , put on a cast and in a few weeks the healing was perfect. Today, a pediatrician, faced with such a simple problem, would prob ably call in two orthopedist -so a to be on the safe side, if sued. - . Letter Received C, Of late, I have received a number of letters from men who, because of their wife's serious illness, much wanted to have their spermatic cords tied. They wrote to say they had appealed- to several doc tors to perform this slight and harmless operation, but no one would oblige them. Why? Probably because, even If the man should sign a legal docu ment saying that he had beg ged the doctor to perform the operation on him (and that he had been warned that per haps one man in 1,000, if cra zy enough, will claim later that he has been made impo tent), he will be allowed to go into court and sue the doctor. recently read that so far. no person who has sued has been awarded damages, but my feeling that no iudee should let such a man come into court at all. Every physi cian In the land knows that the operation Is harmless. , Other operations am helno given no because, In court, no one will pay any attention to. the fact that the nntlnnt signed a document saying that he had been warned before- hand that the p..,,iri.k i ontlilh"-itKlit had accepted this risk. I un dorsland a man can sue and got big damages even If he was told definitely that If his ear nerve was cut, as he re quested, to stop terrifying at tacks of dizziness and vomit ing, he would be deaf in that car. Sometimes a little stroke can go unrecognized, but It is very damaging to a nersnn's health and well-being, To know how to recognize and treat them, read Dr Alvnr booklet, "Little Strokes."

Iowa, brands of aspirin and other proprietary drugs." "The FTC complaints are based on the claims of the pro ducers of Anacin, Bufferin, St. Joseph's aspirin, Bayer aspirin and Exedrin," the senator explained. Said Not The Case "The advertiser of these products represent that they have properties of speed in relieving pain or particular qualities in reducing tension or depression when in fact such is not the case," said Mrs. Neuberger. "Any help that the public can receive in making a reasoned choice among these competing products is certain ly welcome." The senator has obtained figures which indicate that consumer spending exceeds $300 billion annually. She say the consumer who wellds this buying power is not as well represented in Washing ton as the productive Interests - business, agriculture, labor, "Because of this signifi cance, there is justification for the Senate to look into this matter to determine that this money has been spent effec tively. It is the proliferation of problems such as deceptive ad vertising, phony pricing, de ceptive packaging, improper labeling, and unobserved standards of purity and whole someness that requires the continuing careful oversight by the Senate operating In the interest of the consumer," Mrs. Neuberger contends, In addition to launching the aspirin investigation, the FTC has recently ordered discon tinuance of certain practices respecting advertising of wall- to-wall carpeting and labels on sleeping bags. In both cases, phony inflated prices were at tached as the regular retail prices to make the actual sell ing prices appear to be good bargains, the FTC charged. Meat Industry Eyed : The Justice Department. Mrs. Neuberger pointed -out. is looking into the question of administered prices in the processed meat Industry." The Department of Agriculture is investigating the matter of watered hams." In this latter connection, the Agricultural Research Service will conduct a hearing at Portland May 11. 'ine watered ' ham issue arises from an order issued last Dec. 30 by the Agricul ture Department under Secre tary Ezra T. Benson which al low meat packer to market smoked hams containing up to u per cent additional mois ture over the original uncured weight. The present secretary of agriculture, Orvllle Free man, said the . Benson order was Issued without any public hearings, and he, wants con sumer to have an opportunity to comment on this new prac tice.

They order them in restau rants and therefore it seems reasonable that they enjoy them at home. Life In the average restaurant isn't all sir loin steak and prime ribs of beef by any means. Bouef a la Mode is just a pot roast at heart. Beef stro- gonoff is a simple stew to which an idea (dairy sour cream) has been added. Bur- gundian beef is a stew to which wine (burgundy ; is available at very small cost) is added. Here are other thrifty, hearty, flavorful dishes that men and boys like: Beef brisket is boiled beef that usually is served with zesty horseradish sauce. Plate or boiling beef is liked with egg noodles to which, you might add some sesame seed for further interest. Try ox joints cooked with tomatoes and onions, r Braise lamb shanks with Spring vegetables. Cook pork hocks with sauerkraut with whole cloves added. Buy a veal breast, stuff it with packaged dressing and roast it. Just brush pork -spareribs or beef shortrib with a lively barbecue' sauce and bake in 350 degree oven for 1V4 hours for deep dark brownness, crisp eating.
