 soUAwK FROM A sTO0GE
 HOW can crash the delivery room In the - Hospital2 on Fob, (, ioA2, spent i2 hours m the mems labor room ht - Hospital, and then was intorme0 by an office girl that my son ma been delivered. Then after anothey hour | was allowed to 60 up to the maternity word to sec my wire and baby. Our doctor was pr.
 I know from your newspapeE column that you understand my grlpe, and hope that you can ins form me what to do when our neXe baby is born, which we expect VIII be about the end of January. we were greatly disappointed when \ was excludcd--iily wife wanted me 10 rcnnin with her, to share the birth as well as the bill.
 (Slgned) s---
 Tn a hospital that purports to serve the public the order or wish of the attending physician should supersede any "rule" or quaint GUS. tom the hospital may have soughN to establisr. excluding the tather from the delivery-rooEn, if nc man enough to remain with ms wife during the delivery.
 Probably 0 good many hospltalS or the politicians who control them will try to justify this trick by say- ing the purpose of excluding the expectAnt father is asepsis-the dee sire to maintain in the delivery room on environment as nearly Rerm-free as possible. But I tell you that's Q lot of hooey-It m ironlcal when we consider what goes on in most hospital delivery rooms. ,
 The place for Q real man is with his wife when she Is bearing hia child.
 A doctor who acquiesces in the trick of excluding the husband from the delivery room Is moro concerned about catering to the arbitrary whims of the hospital management than he is about tho welfare of his patients. This IS my opinion.
 There is ono way to break up this practice. At the time you ens gage the doctors services. if your home is not Q suitable place for the baby to be born, have 0 distinct understanding that the expectant father is to remain with his wife from begenning to end, and then, if the expectant father is not just c Stooge, as the comic papers and the second rate hospitals would have him, he will carry on with dignity and decency. a
