Notwithstanding the tactics
which have been used against

DR.. Neill, "but we do desire to
point out that at least some Of
the charges on the basis Of
which DR.. Scandiffio was ex-
PEELED could with equal reason
have been brought against other
distinguished physicians.
"It should be unnecessary for
us to say that we believe the
contracts between these ply

that we commend their associa-
