Power VS.. Law

THE concerted move of Attorney General Bidde and
i the Federal Communications Commission against the
dcatoria tactics of James c. Petro President of the
American Federation of Musicians must be heartening to
the American people at large.
The attorney general has authorized the filing of
injunction suit under the antitrust laws to prevent
Petrlo from stopping the making of musical transcript
tons for the radio and for other non-private
The Federal Communications Commission has started
investigation TO Petrlos order canceng the broad
of the choral programs of the National High School
Orchestra at Interlochen Mich.
The latter order was particularly offensive in that
Perio issued ukase the MIC network to stop the
broadcasting.
THE NBC faced by threats of general musical strike
/ on its network which would naturally the
breaking of many advertising contracts compelled to
bow to this self-appointed musical fuehrer.
The Department of Justice in filing injunction
against Petrilo for ordering 100000 musicians to stop
making radio records records that could be played in
restaurants dance halls drew up indictment of six
clauses all Of which constitute the attorney general
says acts restraint of not only free enterprise but of
the individual liberties of the citizens.
In spite of the fact that the New Deal "Supine'
Court decided that outrageous acts of gang
,ster-mnded union leaders within normal union
activities and in spite of the fact that Congress is too
subservient to act remedial legislation this injunction
and investigation show that not all of our officials in
Washington prepared TO lay down flat under Petro
boot.
zen like Petro and his stooges have been fostered
wi and codded by the radical New Dealers for
nine years.
We are now in the midst of a great national crisis
reaping what the New Dealers sowed
The question is simply this:
Are men of the Petrio type more powerful than the
laws of the United States?
If they it would to be waste of effort to
apply the -four freedoms abroad when Petrillo

Physicians Find Treatment
Of Neuro+ics Often Useless
BY DIR. LOGAN CLENDENING

WE ALL know the nervous
w person, the neurotic, the
hypochondriac, the one who is
always complaining, yet never
really sick.
They are tired, or they have
poor digestion. or they are
bilious, or they are eternally
worrying about something that
never happens, or mostly they
are worrying about some part
of their body.
They comprise a large part of
any group of patients that the
general practitioner sees. large
part of the patients in a clinic.
And they are prone to go from
doctor to doctor and they get all
kinds of advice, much of which
is contradictory I'D mixes them
up and makes them worse or
starts them out on new
tangent.
no ANY Of these patients ever
~ get cured? Or even i'm
proved?
Two New York doctors. Or.
Constance Friess and DR.. Mar
iory Nelson. started out to find
out about this and interviewed
a number of these patients five
years after they began treat
ment in the special clinic for
them in the New York Hospital
outpatient department.
One thing that is notable
about these patients is that they
are particularly susceptible 10
the drama of surgery.
They really like to have sur
gical operations performed on
them. 1t was found that in
the group of psycho-neurotics
compared TO a group Of control
patients about 81 per cent Of
the neurotics had had a surgi-
cal operation while II per cent
of the controls had undergone
surgery.
Very little of the surgery on
the neurotics did any good: the
old complaints returned after
the surgical operation and often
two or three others grew where
only one had been before.
IN EXAMINING these patients
Il five years after treatment
began, il was found that in
about IA per cent the original
diagnosis was incorrect and that
real organic disease was
present.
Considering how many doctors
believe that in these patients
organic disease is present but
missed by careless examination,
and considering how universally
the patients say. II really am
sick. | have something the mat
ter with me but you can't find
II, that's all" this is a surpris-
ingly low figure.
Eighty-siX per cent went on
for five years but nobody ever
found anything really the mat
ter with them.
Incidentally, 10 show the ten
dency these patients have TO 60
10 doctors, 81 per cent went to
five clinics and Is per cent went
TO from five 10 20 clinics.
A T THE end of five years, 40
n per cent OF the patients
showed no Improvement; p per
cent were improved; a per cent
were cured. Some were worse
and some had been incorrectly
diagnosed.
One conclusion that stands out
from this study is that such a
patient should have but one
physician or 20 10 only one
clinic.

A Logical Paradox

IT WOULD be sheer paradox TO write that the worlds
outstanding pacifis the worlds leading producer of
war materials-except for thing.
This is that the subject of this note is Henry FeFd
whose life has been confoundng pattern of logic and
paradox.
Today is his seventy -ninth birthday.
TO-DAY his name and achievements are as widely
l famous as those of any living person
He had lived than half his present span before
anybody much outside his immediate family knew he
existed
He made in spite of himself money than any
other because he chung TO production idea that
more experienced manufacturers said fanciful
During the first world war he underworld an unfor-
tunae peace crusade 1t failed Skeptcs sneered at him
1.-The biggest man that lived wanted peace and
didn't quite get it, he said to this writer. "Why should
l be disappointed"
T 70 MOST have lived their lives That's another
a paradox about Henry Ford.
He is head heels this minute in the most vast
production enterprise he ever has attempted
Henry Ford wants peace, but he is spewing out
engines Of conflict because the land he loves is peril
He is true pacfst.
But he is true realist.
And he is a true American.
We are sure the nation and the democratic world
wishes him, with us, happy birthday.
