Mr.. Scott isn't allowed to know
who or where the villains are or
what they look like. He Just
knows there are three of them

Scott himself does not play an

This is an honest calling, all

0fhodontists Given
Credit for Aidinq
ChiId's Personality

Orthodontists yesterday were
given credit for being the first to
assist in avoiding the necessity
for psychiatric treatment by
favorably changing a child's APP
pearance and his outlook on life.
The Rev. George Heaton of
Charlotte, N. c., outlined the
possibilities for happiness for
children with dental or facial
deformities at the opening ses-
sion of the 33rd annual meet
ing Of the Southern Society of
Orthodontists in the Mayflower
Hotel.
He paid tribute to the doctors
who straighten abnormal teeth
structures by pointing out that
correction Of facial deformities
can improve a child's personali-
ty. his mental activity and future
prospects for social adjustment.
DR.. Alexander Sved. consult
ing orthodontist at the Hospital
for Joint Diseases, New York
City. pointed out that an APP
pearance Of some protrusion of
the teeth in an adolescent is
normal.
He said 1t is not always neces-
sary to extract teeth in an effort
to improve child's appearance
just because his teeth happen to
be as large as they will be when
he 40 or so.

windfall scandals.
Closeted with the panel dur
ing most of the day were Irving
Stern of Falls Church, Va, and
Edward Jason of Dayton, Ohio.
Mr.. Stern was identified by
Max H. Goldschein, special
prosecutor for the Justice De-
partment. as former controller
of the Jonathan Woodner Con-
struction Co.
Questions Undisclosed.
Mr.. Jason. the prosecutor said,
was a ore-time vice president Of
the same firm. The Justice De-
partment lawyer would not COM
ment on what was asked of the
witnesses.
The Woodner company figured
prominently in a Senate Bank
ing Committee investigation of
huge windfall profits to contrac-
tors and apartment house build
erS throughout the Nation.
Powell, accused of banking
$4,000 more than his salary
over a 10-year period before
being ousted. was the assistant
FILA commissioner who approved
a $9,984.00O mortgage for con-
struction of the fashionable
1.137-unit Woodner hotel-apart-
ment at 1886 Sixteenth street
NV
Built in 2 Sections.
Testimony before the Senate
Banking Committee disclosed
the luxurious building overlook
ing Piney Branch Parkway was
built in two sections one-inch
apart to get around FILA mort
gage regulations. The gap was
later sealed with caulking COM
pound.
The method. it was alleged,
enabled officials of the Woodner
firm to obtain two separate loans
and thus avoid being cut off at
the SIS million maximum allow
able for a single building.

Rheumaioid Arihritis
Link With Mental
Problems Suggested
By John McKelwoy

A possible tie-up between rheu-
matoid arthritis and mental
problems was suggested today by
a New York specialist.
DR.. Charles Ragen, speaking
at the First Interstate Scientific
Assembly at the Shoreham Hotel,
said, ut is possible that rheuma-
told arthritis will join the group
Of diseases" which may have
their roots in psychosomatic ills.
He described one case to some
5000 doctors from Washington
and Virginia in which a womar's
attacks of arthritis were linked to
f1are-ups with her husband or
daughter. Once the differences
were resolved within the family,
the arthritis gave her no trouble.
Face Complicated Problems.
"Our patients with this disease
as a group seem to have more
complicated and more vicious
problems facing them in their
life than are faced by the aver
age Individual" DR.. Ragen said.
/ He added:
MY plea is for no special
medicine, no super knowledge,
but only that physicians take the
time to know their patients and
to work with them towards the
solution of their problems"
In another paper, DR.. Edward
D. Freis Of the Georgetown
University Medical School,
stressed that more reliable blood
pressure readings are obtained
if the high-blood pressure pa
tent takes the pressure himself
while at home. Evidently, he
said, blood pressure jumps
abnormally when a patient sits
down by a doctor.
ID. C. Surgeons Honored.
This mornings session also
saw certificates Of meritorious
service presented to two pioneer
Washington surgeons, DR.. Daniel
L. Borden and DR.. James A.
Cannon.
DR.. Border, 81, was cited for
his service to the scientific, edu-
cational and military fields of
medicine DR.. Cannon, 10, was
honored for his groundwork at
the old Washington Asylum, now
District General Hospital, and
for his service in increasing
community health facilities.
The third award was presented
to station WTOP-TV in recog-
milton of it's efforts in telecasts
concerning health.
Yesterday, sterilization by
surgery-a difficult question in
the world of medcine-waS adj
vocated by a Baltimore doctor,
but only in cases where preg-
nancy might endanger a wom-
ans future health or life.
DR.. John E. Savage said sterili-
zation should be done only on a
voluntary" basis. He cautioned
that the physician must be
thoroughly familiar with the
laws of his State, and must be
protected by the accepted writ
ten consent" of his patient be-
fore performing the operation.
Reasons Limited.
DR.. Savage said sterilization
was indicated in patients who
have undergone several Caesarean
sections. He said it could be sug-
gested to the woman who has
had six to eight or more chill
dren. But, he emphasized, it
