But a doctor must find a way
to fend off an expensive opera
ton, if this is possible. If he
sees that diet and exercise rather
than costly medication are re-
quired he is bound to prescribe
just that and to forego some fat
fees which he might easily take.
Furthermore, he is 80 years old
before he can get a toehold, after
the most expensive preparation
required in any profession.
The run-of-the-mill doctor IS
pretty much out on a limb these
days. Socialized medicine hangs
heavy over his head. AS contrast
ed to the old fake patent medi-
cines, there is now a sound and
growing pharmacopoeia of pro-
prietary medicines put out by re-
Sponsible persons, and the public
is discovering it. Modern medical
research is widening and deepen
ing rapidly; training, equipment,
techniques are celebrating.
The demands on an intelligent
and ambitious physician both in
preparation and practice are ap-
palling, yet it is impossible for
him to turn to high-pressure sales
manship in his effort to break
even.
THE CROSSROADS
Facilities, laboratories, modern
disqualification and professional
stimulus generally are found in
big cities. The old country doctor
is disappearing, and the cities are
overcrowded with medical men
driven to an excessive degree of
specialization. Socialized medicine
moves up-stage with social Securi-
ty. Whether we like the idea or
not, it is a phase of the new
Twentieth Century juggernaut
state.
Our spot in the parade Of cen
turtles reaches the crossroads of
Freedom VS.. Organization" as
Bertrand Russell puts it. And for
few of us is this a more critical
turning than it is for the doctors.
In an article entitled Medicine
and Men" in the New York State
Journal of Medicine, DR.. Frederick
E. Sondern, president of the Medi-
cal Society of the State of New
York, puts socialized medicine in
this picture:

Three-Minute JOURNEYS

IF you like exotic fruits, there
are varieties that seem to be
found nowhere else, also other
range foods. Wonderfully
wrought spurs and fine Mexican
saddles are other articles that
always make an appeal to the
tourist. The whole affair is
ever so colorful and the natives
seem to be of every type.
There are Indians from tho
city and from the numerous out
lying villages as we'll as from
the remote mountains. They
come even from as far away as
ChaipaS and Guatemala. For
they not only sell their goods to
whom ever may come to buy, but
they make simple exchange Of
gossip as we'll as goods before
they start back on a journey
that may take weeks. For Oaxaca

tropoliS Of this part of the world.
INDIAN RUINS
The Indian ruins at Militia are
really amazing and one does not
have to be an archeologiSt in or.
der to enjoy them. Even an ordi-
nary tourist must conjecture on
the strangeness of the Greek
stone mosaic motifs on the walls
of the temples. How did these
people know the highlights Of
Greek symbolic art and architec-
ture? From where did they come
and where did they go? Perhaps
some day the ruins of Militia will
yield the answer to the riddle.
In the recently excavated ruins
on Mount Alban there has been
found treasure that has amazed
the world by its beauty and
strange craftsmanship. Work is
constantly going on in this part
of Mexico.

If you love color and real beauty
then you will sooner or later find
your way to Mexico and having
done Mexico City you won't mind
the dusty, hot, twelve-ho journey
that will bring you to Oaxaca city
and the nearby ruins Of Militia. De-
spite the journey you will be en-
thralled by the glimpses of the
country and the natives that you
will catch as the train puffS along.
It will prepare you for the beauty
that you are to see as you stroll
along the charming streets, paved
in the cleaning green-hued stone
that is also used in the construc-
ton of some of OaXaca's larger
buildings.
You will delight in the houses
painted in such colorS as deep
blue, vivid pink, delicate apple
green, light purple. dark magenta
and bright yellow. With these
colors there are grilled windows
in the real old Spain manner, bal
comics Of carved wood and finely
wrought iron and patios bright
with glorious flowers, the Mexico
of the tourists dreams.
AMAZING MARKET
The traveller soon finds his or
her way to the market of Oaxaca,
for here is one market in which
you will always find plenty of men
who enjoy bargaining for pottery,
serapeS, steel knives and the mil
lion and one other things that are
always displayed on the stalls and
in the booths of this amazing

There, beautifully made gold

bureaucratic control Of State

has demonstrated, certain doc

Siderably by the regimented con-
troll of doctors in the hands of

ment."
DR.. Sondern's article is, in part,
an answer to opposition charges
that one-half of the American
people are without proper medical
care. Social workers, charitable
and philanthropic movements,
humanitarianS and some clergy
men press forward with demands
that medicine be "Cemocratized'
and that its greatest safeguards
and benefits be put within reach
of all.
Many of them insist that the
urgency lies in the middle classes
rather than among the very poor.
There are increasingly adequate
clinical services for the latter. The
man who is ION the spot" say
these controversialiStS, is the white
collar worker, earning perhaps $40
or $50 a week, buying his home,
carrying some insurance, educa'

up of health insurance funds

give the citizen primarily financial
protection and the right to engage

PEOPLES Counsel

The resignation of Mr. William A. Roberts as Peoples
Counsel is as regrettable it is surprising.
The citizens of the District lose able and energetic
official with his return to the private practice of law
ALTHOUGH MR.. ROBERTS CHIEF OFFICIAL
DUTIES WERE TO REPRESENT THE PUBLIC BE-
FORE THE PUBLIC UTILITIES COMMISSION HE
DID NOT CONFINE HIS ACTIVITIES TO THIS
WORK BUT WENT FAR BEYOND 1T IN SEEKING
IMPROVEMENTS WHICH HE SINCERELY Be
LIEVED THE COMMUNITY NEEDED.
It is no cause for wonder that the resignation of Mr.
Roberts was followed by the immediate adoption of many
civic organizations of resolutions of regret.
In view of the record established by Mr. Roberts
Peoples Counsel it is amazing that his departure from
the District Building should be made the occasion for
a move to abolish this office.
District officials with rather tardy view to economic
ing point out that approximately $4,000 could be Topped
off the local budget by doing away with the job.
THAT MUCH MONEY MIGHT BE SAVED IN THE
BUDGET BUT 1T WOULD PROBABLY BE AT THE
COST OF MILLIONS OF DOLLARS WHICH MIGHT
BE TAKEN FROM THE POCKETS OF PATRONS OF
THE LOCAL UTILITIES.
In recent years the quality Of utility regulation in the
District has shown steady improvement.
While much of this improvement is due no doubt
to the members of the Public Utilities Commission
it is undoubtedly true that great deal of is at
LTJOuLQOLG 20 LHG ILG LeyuL
public has had before the commission in the form of
the Peoples Counsel.
This is an office which it has been proven can when
occupied by the right man, perform a useful and i'm
portant function.
Why then out of the thousands of jobs in the District
government should this be the one to be abolished?
If anything its operations should be strengthened.
It. needless to compare the cost of maintaining
this office of Peoples Counsel with the cost to the utility
corporations of their counsel.
The companies in order to present their side of
troversies to the Utilities Commission and to the courts
spend hundreds of thousands of dollars annually.
Is $4,000 year too much to let the public pay for
having counsel?
The office has saved the public many times the small
amount it has COST
If ECONOMY rs THE REAL MOTIVE BEHIND
THE PROPOSAL TO ABOLISH 1T OTHER PLACES
IN THE DISTRICT BUILDING CAN BE FOUND
WHERE ECONOMY CAN BE BETTER SERVED.
