Alexandria doctors and law
yers got together at a dinner
last night to resolve some Of
their mutual problems. but about
the only thing they could agree
on was that the food was pretty
good.
E. Waller Dudley, Alexandra
attorney and member of speak
err panel, got the meeting off to
a warm start when he said
doctors should understand that
lawyers are hired to represent a
client and lay the facts before a
judge and jury to decide.
DR.. Godfrey T. Mann. chief
medical examiner for Virginia
and a panel member, countered
that the ''nefarious practice OF
contingency fees allowed in some
States" precludes a lawyer from
fairly representing a case. He
said that, in any country except
United States. lawyer would
be disbarred for accepting case
with his fee contingent upon
winning the case.
Several attorneys defended the
practice on the grounds that
some clients cannot afford to
pay an attorney unless he wins
a Judgment.

Secretary writes all his own
speeches. he says proudly, and
usually takes two weeks on each
one.
They go through eight to 10
drafts each circulating first
among his own State Department
colleagues. and, on some occasions,
among other interested departments
of the Executive Branch. Many
times they are discussed with
President Eisenhower.
Mr.. Dulles finds that in writing
his own speeches he is forced to
think through, for himself, where
the United States stands, where
it should go, and how it should try
to get there.
Sometimes the Secretary can find
time in the air to draft speech.
This is ideal, because he finds air.
time offers the best periods for UNI
interrupted concentration. There Is
the isolation of the sealed cabin.
There is mo telephone, no inoppor-
tune interruption to receive .
foreign dignitary, no impromptu
call to rescue an administration
program from an indignant con-
gressional committee.
With all these efficiency factors,
Mr.. Dulles wonders-philosophically
but not bitterly-what evidence his
critics could have accumulated that
travelling Secretaries of State are
neglecting their jobs.
