I think most doctors sleep
better after examining a pa
tient than when prescribing
blindly over the phone. Quite
often we can get away with
it without causing the pa
tient any harm. But there is
always that possibility. When
you deal in human life you
can't afford to take the
chance. In relying on tele-
phone diagnosis and treat
ment, the outcome is too
much of a gamble.
I hope that your letter will
alert many other readers to
the dangers of long distance
diagnosis and treatment. If
I were sick and received tel
ephone advice from the fin
est doctor in the community,
I would not rest easy. I'd

wrong without having seen
me or laid hands on me.

Dear DR.. Steincrohn: There
seems to be a prevalence Of
prescribing by phone in our
town. The doctor asks the
symptoms and who is your
druggist. Then he says you
can pick up your prescrip-
ton in about an hour. I
know doctors are rushed
these days, but do you con-
slider this good practice Of
medicine? Our family doc
tor always insisted on seeing
the patient before prescrib-
ing. Will you please COM
ment? Sincerely, Mrs. S.
1 HAVE MADE 1T a rule
never to prescribe over the
telephone. For example, here
is only one case history (of
many which should indicate
the potential dangers in pre-
scribing for a patient sight
unseen.

l6-year-old daughter has had
q bad stomach ache for

worse. The pain hasn't let

It's such an awful night and
it's so late, there's really no
need of you bothering to come
over, doctor. Is there any
thing you can suggest over
the phone?"
I admit that I almost fell
for the temptation. It would
have been nice to suggest
that she get an icebag for her
daughter, and say that I'd
be over first thing in the
morning. My bed was never

sibly turn our own son out
of the houSe-especially now
that he is out Of a job and
has no resources?
Maybe it is our fault that
we didn't bring him up to
have the right sense Of re-
sponsibility. His wife cenn-
plains that he thinks he's

Gary is very sensitive and
I'm sure it would hurt him if
he felt his own parents didn't
want him. He left his job
with his brother-in-law when
he learned they were just
tolerating him because of the
family relationship.
THE COUNCILS VIEW
This young man is extraor-
dinarily immature and has
no chance of growing as long
as he clings to family-either
his wife's or his own. He be-
lieves he cannot stand on his
own feet without help from
those who are more or less
forced to help him in an
emergency.
Gary and his ia mily
shouldn't suddenly be turned
out into the streets. jobless.
But he should be told that
he must get a job and make a
move soon. If he balks about
taking the job, his parents
will be forced to insist that
he find new headquarters.
Rose must have some good
reason for her sense of guilt
about Gary's upbringing, but
she cannot now right the
wrong by following a path
that is completely unsuitable
for this period of her sons
life.

Anchorage Labor Group Comes Out For Initiative No. i

ANCHORAGE, R - The An chorage Central Labor Council and the directors of the Greater Anchorage Chamber of Commerce both came out Friday in support of Initiative No. l to move the capital from Juneau to Western Alaska.
 Both groups also voted that the capital if moved-should not be in Anchorage. The Labor Council recommended it mot be in the Greater Anchorage area; the Chamber directors said it should be on state-owned land in the Matanuska Valley.
 Dennis Swords, secretary of the -8,O00 man labor group, said the Council decided ''it was simple question of where we want the capital to be built"
 He said the Council believes adequate capital facilities do not exist anywhere in Alaska - in- cluding Juneau.
 One union official said the labor group would make a strong ef- fort" to get it's voters to the polls for the Aug. g election.
 Chamber directors protested promotion methods being used by Juneau. Chester Gordon called the Juneau efforts "lot of poppycock" and said some are doing it for strictly political and personal motives"
 Other Chamber officials pro- tested that men elected by the entire state, such as Gov. William Egan and Sens. E. L. Bartlett and Ernest Gruening, should not have taken a stand against moving the capital.
 The directors said the cost of moving the capital has been highly exaggerated.
 All it means is moving some people and some filing cabinets, :" Chamber President Larry Landry said.

A Short History Of The Republican Party

CHICAGO, R-Here's a thumb nail biography of the Republican party, often called the Grand Old Party or COP for short:
 Born in 1854, either in Ripon, Wis, or Jackson, Mich, both claim the honor. First convention held at Jackson nominated slate of state candidates.
 1856, nominated it's first presi- dential ticket at Philadelphia, John C. Fremont and William Dayton. They lost.
 1869, nominated its first sue cessful presidential ticket at Chi cago-Abraham Lincoln and Han nibal Hamlin.
 1874, artist Thomas Mast pub lished a cartoon in Harper's week ly showing a huge elephant label ed "the Republican vote" tramp ling charges made by Tammany Hall against Republican President Ulysses s. Grant. A symbol was born.
 1884, give or take year: the phrase Grand Old Party came into being. It came from the term grand old man applied to William Gladstone, the great British prime minister of the era.

State Dept. of Revenue Starts Breakdown On Tax ViOlatOrS

JUNEAU, Commissioner of Revenue Peter Gatz disclosed last week that his office has embarked on an intensive campaign to search out persons who have will fully failed to pay state taxes.
 The disclosure followed by just a few hours the arraignment of a commercial fisherman, Don Eos ter, on charges that he failed to pay the state school tax for seven years and failed to pay the state net income tax for five years.
 If he were found guilty on all counts, Foster would face maxi mum sentence of 10 years and 3 months in jail and fines amount ing to $9,200.
 Gatz said his office was work ing with the tax division of the Attorney Generals office now in completing investigations of certain groups of individuals"
 Gatz explained that by using the term "certain groups of in- dividuals," he meant certain working groups, such as fisher men, construction workers, law yers and similar classifications.
 "We are making a systematic check of every taxpayer in the state," Gatz said. "To have a fair tax system, everyone should pay his share. That is what this pro- gram is aimed at"
 As a general rule, anyone who earns money. within the borders of the State of Alaska must pay a net income tax and a school tax of $10 annually, regardless of whether the person involved is a resident of this state or an- other sate.

May 2 Made
Unique Day
For Israel

May 2, 1860 is a unique
triple anniversary for the
State of Israel. 1t is the
twelfth anniversary of the
establishment of Israel as an
Independent nation. 1t is the
ninth anniversary of David
Ben-Gurion's first visit to the
United States as Prime Minis
ter, when he came here to
launch the Israel Bond drive.
And it is the hundredth ami
VerSary of the birth of DR..
Theodor Herzl, the originator
of modern efforts to build a
Jewish state.
Known as the Founder of
Modern ZioniSm," HerZl was
the first to org anize the
movement which resulted in
the creation of the State of
Israel, and the first to pre-
sent a detailed picture of that
State as he viSualiZed it. This
man with the striking physi-
cal appearance, the bla ck
square beard and big flashing
eyes, came to the fore in Jew
iSh life almost overnight.
Emerging out of an envir-
onment of almost total re-
moteness from Jewish life
and activity, he projected
himself into passionate in
volvement and leadership in
the effort to find a homeland
for oppressed Jews.
Theodor HerZl, in the early
1905, was a prominent Wen
nese journalist, critic and es-
sayist. He considered himself,
and was considered by those
who knew him, to be a de-
tached, cosmopolitan observ-
er of life, typical of the fin
de-siecle society in which his
impressive figure moved.
His transformation wa S
sudden and dramatic. The
most decisive moment of his
life came when he was as
signed by his paper, the Neue
Freie PreSSe of Vienna, to
go to Paris and cover the
famous trial of Captain AL
fred Dreyfus, a Jewish Off
GER in the French army who
was convicted of being Ger
man spy on charges fabricat-
ed by an anti-Semitic army
clique.
The injustice and the bitter
anti-JeWish discrimination re-
flected in the Dreyfus Affair
convinced HerZl that he must
dedicate himself to finding
for his people some answer
to the problem of recurrent
and continuing religious per
Secution. His answer was eX-
pressed in his book, ''The
Jewish State" published in
1896, where he projected his
plan for the creation of a
Jewish State in Palestine, on
the site of the ancient home
land of his people.
HerZPS was a strange gen
ius, a combination of the
great vision of the prophet
with the painstaking atten-
ton to detail of the planner.
In "The Jewish State" he set
forth in broad outline the
dream which he had made his
own. In mobilizing the First
Zionist Congress in 1897, he
created the pattern of organi-
zation which was ultimately
to win the support of the ma
tions of the world for the eS-
tabliShment of the State of
Israel.
