Seethe U.S.A., the safety way! 0 o f— Spiking the ♦ver-present Dame Rumor by his announcement, Lisis Hodeil, general manager of all general purpose component motor factories of General Electric, showed deep consideration for the state of mind of employees at our local plant. Naturally there j was a question in the minds of those who were about to leave for vacations and General Electric 13 deserving of our gratitude for easing the tension. This company has again demonstrated by this act, why we continue to be proud to have General Electric as an integral part of our community —i—<j o The settlement of the steel strike will cause many signs of relief among employers and employees alike. The hourly rate increases granted for a three year ao-strike period will stimulate business to a great extent. Fringe benefit', too, will generally raise the level of living for millions. Materialistic progress is tremend- -- ous. an upturn in interest of the spiritual would probably add greatly to our international prestige. Yes, even on the local level, much needs to be done by each of us. o o Last week saw the close of the second annual Adams county speech clinic. Officials, students, parents and clinicians are in accord that this session of six weeks was well worth while. Gaily attendance of sixty boys and girls kept the'workers busy With group and individual work. Members of the Psi lota Xi sorority JaTly'rfriacVs as — well as supervisory 'personnel when needed. The combined efforts of all are greatly appreciated by parents and students alike. Plans are already underway by the Adams county society for Crippled Child-on to continue and expand the clinic if the need is evident. This was certainly a worthwhile project for our conn ty. —_o. _o Impounding mere than 40,000 acres of water along the upper _ reaches of the Wabash river may soon became a reality.

basically a flood control project, there will lie many objections ' raised, for thousands of acres of productive river bottom lands will be used in water storage. Condemnation proceedings will be necessary in some cases and the right of eminent domain will be put Into action by federal agenties. . o o Work on the budgets for the various taxing units of the county indicates a probable rise in rates. The genera! increased basic costs of living, tax increases and added luxuries, all tend to require more inccme. National statistics indicate that we have that higher income aud with the spiraling at present ii would appear that still greater income will be necessary. Manv of our present luxuries have become necessities in our exalted mode of living and at the same time those help keep the industrial pump well primed. Those who long for the good old days of a low tax rate are just whistling in tho dark and raises, though modified, will probably continue indefinitely. Representative Ralph Gwinn from New York indicates in an extension of remarks for the Cqngressional Record that, “federal aid to education is no good.” He points out that several of the larger states would pay in *928 million for school aid and get back approximately *576 million •<ok?r a 4-year «nan.lndiana, which ranks 33rd in % of. income spent for schools in 1953-54, would receive about *1 million more in return of tax monies over the same 4-year span. Representative Gwinn's major, criticism of federal aid. to education is that it would make ? “commissar” Os the Commissioner of Education ta “do good” where he saw fit. It was further suggested that some at the present problems could be alleviated by longer school days, a 6-day week and 12 month usage of physical plants with only slight enlargement of faculties. Finally, he says, “Local communities, if left alone, with their native American genius, intelligence, necessity, and financial capacity, will find away to solve their problems. They alone can meet their necessities. They alone know what they am.”

SYNOPSIS A group of doctors in the Midwesttrn suburb of Burbank try to establish a free screening clinic despite lack of money and opposition from the County Hospital Dr. John Blandin. a strong booster of the project, returns from a meeting and tells his wife, Helen, that enough money has been donated by the wealthy Mrs. Alice Milburn to set up the clinic. Mrs. Milburn donates the money to spite the Women's Club because they voted against helping the project. Dr. Chad Mays, brilliant but eccentric young medical administrator, is hired to organize the clinic—and fight the opposition, led by influential Dr. Claude Wilkins-Smith, head of County Hospital. Dr. Mays prefers to remain unidentified until be can Investigate setup. Sitting in the park near the clinic. Dr. Mays meets a youngster named Johnny who is brought to the park every day by his mother, a pretty, young blonde named Lacey. Mays accidentally meets Newell McCrillis. a newspaper reporter, and his wife. Stella. He promises McCrillis a good story soon. CHAPTER 7 IT WAS John Blandirfs claim, 1 ruefully made and often, that when he was not In the house the telephone must go unanswered, and the doorbell probably rang its head off. Tonight he ■ came down the stairs with that declaration on his lips. Nobody, literally nobody, ever answered the door! Here he had a Board meeting, and wanted to change his shirt! He threw the front screen door back on its hinges, and glared at the two young men who were on his doorstep. One was dark—erew cut, shadowy beard—the ether was a big blond man, who was blushing with nervousness. “Dr. Blandiji?” asked the dark man. “Yes.” “We-^er—we have a matter we want to discuss with you, Doctor?” John frowned. “What sort of matter?” The blond chap glanced over his shoulder. “It’s somewhat pri* rate . , . This—we —could we tome in? And talk to you for ten minutes? It really is important.” J./ John took a backward step. “I guess I can give you that much. Though I have a meeting at eight” “Yes, we know. That’s why we came tonight.” Seeing that his callers were still apprehensive of interruption, or perhaps, eVen, of being overheard, he explained that his family was out in the yard. “We cooked our supper out there tonight, and the young man who is our guest was teaching my son to walk on his hands.

"Look, Doctor, do you know what happens to the cards patients bring from the clinic to the County Hospital?” “Well—l’ve had a few ideas on the subject.” '“Yeah. Waste basket. Every one of them! That’s standing orders. We’ve been hoping one of your doctors would challenge his doing that, but none has. So far.” * “Well,” said John, “we do wonder why we get no reports.” “We can tell you why, Dr. Blandin,” offered Jacobsen. “We —look, Doctor. It is a racket.

Written out, if 'you want them.” “Well, not tonight . . .” “0.K.," said Bequettb. “I’ll tell you about this one case. This old lady — seventy-nine — never been sick except for confinements. She’d had what the Staff surgeon described as some signs of senile hemorrhage. The bleeding scared the wits out of her and the spinster daughter who took care of her. They were sure she had cancer. I suppose they told our meu.cal friend that. ’He sent her to the hospital: after a few days he Ordered the biopsy. I was on night duty, Jake here on day. mien the mother came down frpm surgery, Jake heard our friend tell the daughter that her mother would be fine, that he’d mkde a ‘clean sweep,’ and that now there couldn't be any trouble.

"He. knows he's being watched on that,” said Jacobsen. “But this matter of false,diagnosis, of trickery with biopsies —that's just as unethical, isn’t ■it ?" "If true, ye£ Certainly.” “What really sticks in our craws—l mean, the clincher— is that he thinks he’s getting away with it.” "He may be, too,” said John.
