they were unanimous in the conclusion
shat the Hudson e. Manhattan Rail

Barton Payne, general counsel to the

These facts were Of common l,nowl-

With solely on the merits Of the case

District Board Physician
Freed Of All Charges

The Tribune on December ) printed
an account of the removal of Dr.. Her
man r. Radin, OF The Bronx, from the
District Appeal Board of New York
City, by order of Governor Whitman.
j, The removal was predicatcd upon
%cnarees that the physician had pre-
scmped drugs calculated to give an
appearance Of heart disorder. so that
the rcgstrant would not pass the
physical discrimination for which he
Intended to apply.
Dr. Radln has directed the attention
of The Tribune to the fact that a hear
ing was held later before a special
committee Of the District Board. az
which testimony was given to the effect
that the basis of the charges was
erroneous, and that the medicine pre-
serlbed was designed to reduce high
blood pressure, from which the evil
dcnce showed the patient was suf-
ierng, and not to give an appearance
of heart disease.
Judge Edgar NJ. Cullen and other
members of the special comlnittee con-
Guided that, while it may have been,
IN the circumstances, an incliscretion
ior Dr. Radin to treat the registrant,
the charges themselves were without
foundation. and nothing in the entire
case reflected on DR.. Radin's personal
or professional character and integrity.
