The idea is catching on. So

joined her as co-sponsors of

a committee should be estab

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

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

later, the parent should sue,
a lawyer could "make a mon

asking, "Why didn't you get

you call a consultant? Don't
you think you showed igno

running and got what Is called
"green-stick fracture" of one
of the bones of the forearm.

healing was perfect. Today, a

a simple problem, would prob

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

"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

reasonable that they enjoy

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

veal breast, stuff it with

it. Just brush pork -spareribs
