The survey was conducted by the

Gross incomes of dentists in metro

DOCTOR HITS PROPOSAL.
Not interested in Becoming Nations
Bar Tenders, Says Leader.

CHICAGO. April % (P).-The physi-
clans of America were not interested in
becoming the Nations bar tenders -
said DR.. w c. Woodward, chairman Of
the legislative bureau of the American
Medical Association, upon hearing the
proposal of Claudius Huston for regu-
lation of liquor by physicians.
"All we ask is the right for the doctor
to prescribe the amount of liquor he
believes the patient needs at the time
he needs it," he said.
Doctors not only are not interested
in a plan to vest regulation of liquor
distribution with them, but they would
not want such a duty imposed"
The associations till now before Con-
gress would liberalize the restrictions
now imposed on the quantity physicians
may prescribe, but would specify that
none may be prescribed in excess of
actual medical needs.
Dr. Woodward said the present re-
strictions on prescriptions resulted from
misuse at the beginning of the prohibi-
ton era, when the number issued by
physicians was 50 great that shortage
of pint bottles occurred In Washington,
D. C..

DOCTORS CONTROL
OF LIQUOR ASKED
CIaudius H. Huston Sees Re.
lief for Present "DepIor-
able Conditions"

A suggestion to take the liquor traffic
"out of the hands of the criminal and
thugs who have waxed fat from the
proceeds" and put it largely in control
of physicians of this country, stood to-
day accredited to Claudius H. Huston,
former chairman of the National Re-
publican Committee. Huston is in
Washington on visit after protract-
ed absence.
He said honest drys must necessarily
admit that the present liquor condi-
tons in this country ARE very de-
plorable"
Great Relief Is Seen.
Everybody is sensible of the weary
months and years that must elapse be-
fore the liquor problem can be solved
by the scrapping of the eighteenth
amendment" he declared adding that
solution could be accomplished by
a mere change of few administration
regulations and an amendment to the
Volstead act permitting the manufac-
ture of beer for medicinal purposes and
liberalizing doctors permits"
Huston said that with the regulations
thus amended. it would only be neces-
sary for Congress to put provision in
the reveue bill requiring stamp tax
Ol approximately 30 per CSIt VI Ieoo
per pint on hard" liquor. a like
amount per quart on wine. and from
d, to cents per bottle on beer pro-
duced for medical purposes "and then,
by a resolution adopted, advise the ad-
ministration that sentiment favors a
change in the drastic enforcement
policy applicable to doctors"
Regulation for States.
He would leave regulation of physi-
clans permits to the States, which, he
emphasized. should control the retail
price because good liquor at low price
is the death knell to the bootlegger
trade"
