Removes Own Appendix
Feels Well Enough to Walk
Three Days After Self -Ex-
perimentation

Los Angeles, Oct. 12.-P)-Dr.
Robert Meals, young Hollywood
surgeon, who three days ago re-
moved his own appendix, today said
he felt we'll enough to get up and
walk, and 81 would do so nov in
stead of waiting the necessary 10
days if thought it would be safe"
Neither economy, necessity, nor
desire for publicity prompted his
self operation, the doctor said.
Rather the operation was an expert
ment to verify his previous conclu-
sions that the "shock" which most
patients suffer from operations was
due largely to anesthesia rather
than the operation itself.
This theory, he said, had been
corroborated.
Such an operation has been per-
formed only twosnr three times be-
fore in surgical history, doctors
said.
DR.. Meals was assisted by a
friend, DR.. j. Norton Nicols, who
helped locate the appendix, which
was in an unsual position, and to
loosen it from adhesions to tho
back of the abdominal wall.
DR.. Means took his place on the
operating table with only nurses, in.
ternes and DR.. Nichols present. His
back and head was propped up and
surgeons gown was slipped over
his shoulders. He wore the usua
rubber gloves and with his own
hands proceeded as though he were
operating on , patient under anaes.
thesia. Throughout the operation
the surgeon carried on : conversa'
tion, Meals said.
| A local anaesthetic was applied
but the surgeon-patient was sub
jected to considerable pain due K
inability to anaesthetize the ,innel
organs.

FARM BILL NOT CURE-ALL
McNary-Haugen Bill, Pros

sues Discussed

Young Bob La Toilette, the "Boy
Senator" was speeding westward
this morning for campaign work in
the third northwest state in rs many
days.
After campaigning throughout
Minnesota for Senator Shipstead,
the Wisconsin senator officially
opened the Maddock-Frazier CAM
paign here last night and today was
scheduled to begin work in Montana
in the behalf Of Senator Wheeler.
La Toilette was introduced to .
large auditorium audience by Cover
nor Walter Maddox, Democratic
candidate for the governorship.
Members of both the Republican and
Democratic parties were seated on
the platform from which La Toilette
spoke.
The Wisconsin senator's talk was
devoted principally to the work that
had been done by the progressive
group in the United States senate
and the work that faced the group
at future sessions. For many years,
he said, the progressive group has
fought to the last ditch" for the
things that represented the farmer.
and he declared that the bloc would
continue to do 50 in future years.
Taking up the McNary- -Haugen
bin, the speaker declared that the
bill was one Of the most misrepre-
sented ever presented to congress.
"The bill isn't now and never was
meant to be a 'cure-all' for the
American farmer" he said. ut was
meant only to do all that it could
for the welfare of the farmer. 1t
was meant as . tariff that would
protect the farmer on the surplus
available for sale on the world mar
ket.

Speaking Of the workings Of the
bill, he said that = part Of the sur.
plus would be purchased by the gov.
ernment for sale, at . loss if neces.
sary, in the world markets. This
he said, would keep the market here
up to the high price set by the tariff
and insure the farmer the price o1
production and the additional
amount Of the tariff as q reasonable
amount Of profit.
Called Unconstitutional
The bill has been fought on the
grounds that it is unconstitutional
the speaker declared, adding that 8
good share Of the bills introduced .,
every session of congress are fought
on the same grounds and that thu
supreme court has upheld the billl
after they have been made into law
by congress.
Taking up the subject Of th'
