Frontier Cafe Is Enlarging Counter

The recently completed From tier Cafe already has grown too small for it's diners. That's the reason Frontier patrons this week have been snatching bites between hammer blows, for own CTS Richard and Agnes Brooks are enlarging the lunchcounter so that more seats can be in- stalled. The counter will be doubled in horseshoe pattern, giving added seating space there without disturbing the dining tables placed at the opposite side of the cafe.
 The remodelling is expected to be complete within the next day or two.

More Power Is Souqhi
In Hospitals Here for
General Practitioners

A drive to restore wider powers to
general practitioners for treating
their patients in Washington hos
pitals has been launched by the Dis
trict Medical Societys section on
general practice.
DR.. John A. Logan, public rela-
tions head for the section, said FAM
lily doctors have been deprived "of
one function after another in ham
ding their own patients" in hos
pitals. More and more, he said,
treatment is being taken over by
specialists.
A more immediate problem, DR..
Logan said, is the difficulty general
practitioners are finding even to get
their patients admitted. while beds
seem to be readily available for
specialists.
First step in the drive is letter
to all hospital directors prepared by
DR.. Richard v. Mattingly, chair
man of the sections Hospital Com
mittee. 1t asks the hospital au-
thorities for the basis on which
patients are admitted and requests
a clear-cut definition of the doctors
rights and privileges" in treatment
after admittance.
The doctors also envison cam
paign to educate the public in ex-
actly what are the capabilities of
family doctors. One official, while
estimating that general doctors are
capable of handling "85 per cent of
all conditions that come to their
attention, said the public has come
to view it's family doctor as a clear
ing agency for reference to a spe-
cialist.
The bed situation is particularly
bad at Georgetown and George
Washington University Hospitals,
where beds are limited almost en-
tirely to specialists, on grounds that
the hospitals are teaching institu-

Judge Bake Scores
Critics Of High Court

Calling the Supreme Court the
cornerstone of American Govern
ment," Judge Norris c. Bake,
former Chief Justice of the Colo
RADIO Supreme Court, said last night
that to question the high courts
decision on restrictive covenants
might mean "the disintegration of
our form of government"
Judge Bake, now associate gen.
eral counsel of the Federal De-
posit Insurance Corp, addressed the
Crestwood Citizens Association on
Our Answer to Communism.
After hearing members of the as
sociation call the Supreme Courts
decision everything from "unWise"
to denial of American freedom" !"
Judge Bake, who comes from
North Dakota, smilingly admitted
he had walked into a hornets
nest"
He said he considers the decision
one of the ways to stop communism
in the United States and said the
breakdown of segregation here is
inevitable in our country's evolu-
ton
1T will be tough job of ad-
justment for you," he told the men,
bers. but if you think it over, it
should not cause anyone personal
unhappiness."
The jurist told the group there
WAS a restrictive covenant in the
deed to his own property here, and
that he estimated the ruling would
lower its value $4,000 to $1,000"
That is hard to take" he said,
"but it does not alter my thinking
on the matter"
