ISOLATION.
. Philip NJ. Talbot, senior vice
president, Woodward & Lothrop
the associations president, took
a leading part in this move.
In urging the commission to
suspend the railroads proposal
the association asserted:
1.-THE retail industry today is
in no position to stand the SUBJ
stantial loss of profit involved
in the proposed 7 per cent in
crease in freight charges"
The association argued
Many existing relationships will
be destroyed and market pat
terms disrupted beyond repair II
. the general increases are allowed
to become effective in their
) present form even temporarily
TO allow such rate changes

you can treat the profit on the
rights as a long-term capita
gain even though you sold the
rights Immediately after you re-
ceived them. This is important
because as a long term capital
gain only half your profit is
taxable.
Question-How do I figure the
profit on my rights?
Answer-You generally have
two choices. You can either
treat the entire sales price a:
the profit or you can allocate
part Of the cost Of the original
stock as the cost of the stock
right and reduce your profit &C
cordingly.

A type Of G-suit, a sometimes
weird-appearing garment worn
by flyers in high-speed planes
may also be worn on the surgery
to-.
G-suits, or antigravity suits
are worn by pilots to prevent
blackouts that occur when they
pull planes out of fast dives
The pilots garments consist OF
inflatable leggings and an alb
dominal binder which construct
the lower part of the body and
prevent the pooling Of blood.
Two Cleveland physicians. DR.
w. James Gardner and DR.
Donald F. Dohn of the Cleveland
Clinic Foundation and the Frank
E. Bunts Educational Institute
began using the aviation gar
ment to prevent dangerous de-
clines in blood pressure-called
hypotension - during certain
head and neck operations.
Because certain neurosurgical
operations are carried out with
the patient in a sitting position
there is sometimes danger OF
postural hypotension.
If such a drop in blood pres
sure occurred the doctors could
initiate the garment from a tank
Of gas. It was, awkward to put
on the patient, however. and
therefore not employed. unless
the need was clearly anticipated
New Suit Easier to Apply
So, the two doctors report in
a recent issue of the Journal of
the American Medical Associa-
ton. they have devised q more
easily applied G-suit.
This consists merely of two
sheets of vinyl plastic sealed at
the edges to form a large in
f1atable bladder" It can be placed
beneath the patient with the
edges folded over to enclose him
from the margin Of the ribs to
the ankles. Lacing is used to
draw it snugly about him.
The bladder" may be inflated
in a matter of seconds by gas
when danger arises. 1t is not
even necessary to enclose each
leg separately because the suit
can force the blood pressure UP
enough so that there is no re-
duction of vital capacity.
The suit has a number of adj
vantages. the authors say. The
increased venous filling created
by the G-suit makes the posi-
bility of air emboliSm during

1t may be stretching things to
draw a comparison between the
bandits who perpetrated the in
famous Drinks robbery in Bos-
ton and one of history's most
controversial figures, Aaron Burr.
But there is nevertheless an
interesting link between them.

Inotoriety it becomes very hard
to find jurors who have not

about the defendants and what

So it was with the Brink
case. where scores of jurors were
examined by prosecuting and de-
tense attorneys before it was
possible to agree on IL sufficient
ly disinterested persons to serve.
Inevitably. in such cases, the
question arises: Must a pro-
spective Juror be disqualified for
bias if he has formed any opin-
ions at all about the case?
The view most jurisdictions
seem to take is the one developed
by Justice Marshall in regard to

The principle Of the pneumatic

1908. 1t was a rubber suit and
after put on the patient it was
inflated with a bicycle pump. 1t
was used during. head and neck
operations and covered the rest

that Grille gave it up because of

but that they discovered brain

This is a process of forcing an
