Faces Rockefeller Query
At an airport news confer

about a report from California

Rockefeller has been going

this is good.

as a non-political tour. But
politics are everywhere.
Of1cially, Mr.. Nixon isn't
running for anything. But when
he hears politicians speak glow

demand a retraction.
Chartered Plane Used
Usually Mr.. Nixon and his
staff travel on regularly sched-

plush trip.
He chartered a plane from a

He's not searching for the

When the time comes for the

Mrs. Barbara B. Gunderson,
United States Civil Service
Commissioner, told the dele
gates that she realized some of
them apprehensive about the
increasing use of electronic
machines in the Post Office
Department.
She predicted that machines
will take over only the drudgery
jobs, leaving the more chal-
longing and stimulating tasks
to postal employees.
Vice President Nixon was
scheduled to address the dele

Assistant Postmaster Gen.
eral Hyde Gillette said today
that despite postal rate in
creases, his department will
have an estimated $3.50 million
deficit in fiscal 1860.
He added that if it had not
been for the boost in postal
rates the deficit would have
been close to $1.25 billion.
Addressing the National AS
ISOLATION of Postmasters of the
United States, meeting in Con-
stitution Hall, Mr.. Gillette said
that even when the new post
age and parcel post schedules
become fully effective, the Post
Office Department will still be
faced with a deficit.
1T is clear that we must
continue our efforts to enlist
support for adequate postage
rates. Only thus can we avoid
an unconscionable burden upon
the Federal Treasury" he as
serted.
He said that the Post Of
fee appropriation for fiscal
1860 is extremely tight.
On the last day of the first
quarter, there was only $4,000
unalloted out of the 1857 mil
lion appropriation. he said.

reason for the budget squeeze

trict Judge Francis L. Van
DuSen of the Eastern District

at the Cornell University Med
ical College, and Philadelphia
Attorney Arthur H. Clephane.
Judge Van Dusen, who has
watched an impartial medical
testimony plan work in Phila-
delphia for year and a half,
declared that it decreased the
exaggerationS set forth by doc
tors paid as expert witnesses
by both defendants and plain
tiffs. He declared his expert
ence has been that four out Of
five of the most difficult cases
have been settled at pre-trial
conferences because both par
ties know that the court will
call on an immpartial doctor
who will receive a fee from the
loser.

Judge Van DuSen said that

trial it does not take as long.

that the system has virtually
halted the practice of attorneys
deliberately trying to make
lawyers out of testifying doc

He said that before the sys-

"Ill-founded as my impress
sions may be, I have them
nonetheless," he said.
New York System
He noted that New York
City's panel includes 100 doc
tors of the highest caliber and
that most of them have pro-
fessional rank. He declared that
when the impartial doctor is
called to court now, both sides
are cordial and friendly.
Speaking for the American
Bar Association, Mr.. Clephane
declared that it is much better
to have a well-known and re-
spected ph ysician testifying i'm

facts. Jur;es listening to doc
tors in disagreement can hardly
be expected to make correct

Mr.. Clephane noted that per-

per cent of all of today's court
cases.

Subcommittee Named
Last spring Judge Holtzoff,
chairman of the D. C. Commit
tee of the American Bar Asso-
cations section on judicial
administration. appointed a
subcommittee to study the posi-
bility of bringing an impartial
medical testimony system to
the Federal Court here.
Answering a charge by some
attorneys that such an impair
tial expert would in effect be
making the jury's decision,
Judge Holtzoff declared:
"Of course the jury will at
tach more weight to an i'm
partial expert. 1t should. 1t
may be that he will be in error
occasionally. The remedy for
this is to nave more than one
in the case if either party re-
quests it,"
Mr.. Dress, who is chairman
of Judge Holtzoff's subcommit-
tee, had suggested the criti-
cisms by attorneys.

the work of Francis Bicknell
Carpenter and was signed by
him in New York in 1850.
