AIR POLITICS

Up to 10 months ago, the chief
beef of this column was the appall-
ing series of commercial airplane
accidents and the sloppy work and
unsatisfactory reports of the bureau
of the department of commerce in
charge. Under the former secretary
it was political pot house and the
influence of big aviation interests
was not conspicuous by its absence.
Then, after four years. effort, Sem
ator McCarran got his bill through
setting up the Civil Aeronautics au-
thority as an independent non-parti-
san agency. 1t separated executive
function from judicial and legisla-
tive ones, put the former in the
hands of an administrator, set up
an independent safety board to plug
up the CHASTITY gap in the department
tai administration. The authority
was promptly manned with compe-
tent experts.
This column hasn't seen anything
to kick about for more than a year
in which about 815,000,0 900 passen-
ger miles were flown without
death-an unprecedented safety rec
ord. CAA is not entitled to all the
credit, but it rates its share. 1t is
now proposed, under the reorgani-
cation act, to abolish the safety
board and reduce the authority to
The Ely miner. [volume] (Ely, Minn.) 1895-1986, 1940-05-02

old status as a bureau of the de.
partment of commerce-right back
where we started from.
Many in congress, the CONNER
cial air pilots and informed air trav-
elers are up in arms against this
shocking proposal, but the big avia-
ton interests are not saying word.
They prefer King Log to King Stork
and King Sugar Papa most of all.
The dope is that the change will go
through if they do not oppose it. It
is doubtful if they will, but the air.
travelling public ought to join the
air pilots in forceful opposition.
These are the people whose hides
are endangered.
There are only two apparent rea-
sons for wrecking a unit that was
working so well to go back to a sys-
tenn that wasn't. One is politics
and the other is amateur professori-
al piddling with an organization
chart in the rareied academic at
mosphere of the Brownlow commit
tee. Neither is good enough. Poll
tics is what we don't want here. The
best reorganization chart in the
world is no good without the right
men in the proper places with I'M
hampered opportunity to do their
stuff.

MEDICAL ADVANCEMENT.

If the astonishing developments in
medicine continue at their recent
rate, many will have to be shot on
Judgment day.
There is professional prejudice
against laymen discussing these de-
velopments. The most cruel decep-
tons have resulted from ignorant
ballyhoo of quack cures. The medi-
cal profession has suffered so much
on the rebound that any popular
publicity touches its most sensitive
spots.
Recent developments are marvel
ous-the control of many types of
pneumonia and one of the most stub
born social diseases by sulfapyri-
dine-the still experimental five-day
cure for syphillis-the checking of
the anaemia of old age-these are
but an acceleration of the improve
ment in four decades which saw the
conquest of typhoid, typhus, yellow
fever and several tropical diseases.
Surgery does not lag. In a re-
cent minor siege with it myself, l
ran across professional paper of
which a co-author with a navy sur
geon is one of our most distinguished
army medicos. The service group
has Jagged behind none in its con-
tribution to this revolution which is
revising the mortality tables by
amazingly extending the years of
our lives. Reed, Gorgas, Keller,
Grayson, Metcalf, Magee, Mcintyre
they are the peers of any.
The thing in this paper that would
astonish anybody and which I my
self have seen and felt is the tre-
mendous advance in anaesthesia
(another mystic word) and battle
field surgery since soldiers in battle
have had to have their shattered
legs cut off with no more surcease
than a horn of hootch. Anaesthesia
means eliminating or dulling pain
under the knife. This art has so far
advanced that, under a competent
surgeon, would have little appre-
hension of either danger or pain I'M
der any ordinary operation.
Army surgeons have so advanced
the surgical facilities and preventa-
tives of pain and shock right up to
the front line that, wherever the
equipment they have invented can
be available, battle agony will be
reduced by half. If there is greater
service to humanity, don't know it.
It is abreast with other remarka-
BILE improvements in the whole heal
ing art. The only drawback is that
while under our economic system
most of this improvement is availa-
BILE to either the very rich or the
very poor, it is beyond the purse of
the middle class.
