A plan by the American
Medical Association, aided by
the Food and Drug Admins
tration, for opening an i'm
mediate public campaign
against chiropractors was re-
ported in the october 8 edi-
ton of The Star. A spokes-
man for the ANA was quoted
as saying that, the medical
profession needs help in
stemming the tide of such
things as chiropractic."
1t is ironic that an anti
chiropractic campaign is to
be aimed at the public, for it
was the public that induced
the legislatures of 46 States
to make legal the prac-
tice of chiropractic as a heal
ing art. It is an oddity too
that the Food and Drug Ad-
ministration is being used as
a launching pad for such a
campaign when chiropractic
has been approved by other
agencies-Civil Service Com
mission, Veterans Admins
tration and others. 1t would
be interesting to know how
the FDA was brought into the
proposed campaign.
The ANA is supposed to be
a scientific body. But never
once, either before or during
its long anti = chiropractic
campaign in the past. did it
engage in any serious research
to determine whether chiro-
practic is quackery or science.
It Ill becomes a group pur-
ported to be guided by scien-
tific principles to condemn
without exhaustive research
any profession that has such
widespread public acceptance
as chiropractic.
Why the neglected research
on a subject that vitality af-
fects the lives of suffering
millions? Is it because the
ANA with it's great financial
resources, its powerful lobby
and its vast propaganda IA
cilitieS has been too busy
campaigning against activi-
ties of labor unions and other
groups on which it casts an
economic eye?
They who are told that
chiropractic is quackery
should reckon with these
facts:
u The curriculum in
standard chiropractic COL
leges requires a minimum of
four thousand class hours in
a four-year course (thirty-
six months. The same basic
science textbooks are used as
in medical schools.
D Five hundred insurance
companies-strictly calculat-
ing organizations that they
are-have given recognition
to chiropractic.
81 Some thirty-five million
patients from all walks of life
visit the offices of North
American chiropractors every
year.
~ A large percentage of
students in chiropractic COL
leges are there because either
they or another member of
their family has experienced
remarkable benefits of CHI
ropractic treatment. Thus
they are motivated by the de-
sire to devote their lives to a
practice which they know
beyond doubt has healing
value.
81 Physicians in West Ger
many "a country noted for
thoroughneSs in research)
have been investigating chi
ropractic and are giving it
warm acceptance.
To brand chiropractic as
quackery pays small compli-
ment to the intelligence of
able legislators, insurance ac-

to eight miles an hour. 1t can
run about four hours before
recharging, which can be
accomplished in about an
hour. A steerable tail wheel
allows moving and turning
in any direction.
The vehicle is operated by
pushing the speed control at
the operating station and
steered by turning a knob at
this station. Pressing Of one
of four buttons selects the
desired target posture-up-
right. crouching, crawling or
"in the dirt"
This target, according to
Navy report, because Of its
inherent flexibility can be
used in several different ways.
1t could, for example. be
used in squad tests to simu-
late live attacking forces, or
possibly on a mobile combat
range. Such a range, oper-
ated by a permanently as
signed crew and moved from
place to place in a van,
would be highly desirable.
says the Navy report, for
both National Guard and
police training.
Serving as human guinea
pigs, so muscle sore soldiers
at the Army's Picatiny, N. j.,
arsenal have just finished
toting 100-pound boxes
through a series of strenuous
exercises under the watchful
eyes of psychologists.
Purpose Of the study was
to develop handles for am
munition boxes utilizing plas-
tic instead of jute rope. The
plastic rope is strong, light,
resists deterioration and is
easily obtained. Jute supplies
might be cut off in a national
emergency.
The jute handles are I'M

sons. During cold, wet wealth.
er the rope freezes and
breaks. It's rough texture is
hard on the hands of ammu-
milton carriers.
More Ammunition
The study was designed to
select handles of a diameter
and texture that would be
less fatiguing to the men, en-
abling them to carry more
ammunition over greater dis
tances in less time. Thirty
two-man teams carried the
4-foot long boxes around a
70-foot course, logged them
up and down sets of stairs
and hoisted them on and off
aiding platforms. They
circuited the course 1,450
times, CHM b e d over 4,700
steps and loaded about 1900
boxes.
After the men became IA
miliar with the boxes they
developed preferences for
certain ones and avoided
carrying others. Each was
permitted to carry the box Of
his choice and naturally Sc
lected the one with the most
comfortable handle.
Because a mans opinions
might affect the outcome of
the study. they were not told
the real reason for their la
bors.
AS a result of the study
quantities of the plastic rope
will be manufactured at
Picatiny.

After reading all the news
papers and hearing radio and
television about the Congress
on Medical Quackery, held at
the Sheraton-Park hotel, Oc-
tober 6, 7, 1861. may I ex-
press the opinion that this
problem of quackery is not
altogether a one-sided affair.
This may sound startling at
first but I'm convinced there
was more behind this Con-
gress than could be read in
the news releases.
One of the things was the
mention of the billion dol
lars annually they claimed is
going into the pockets of the
so-called quacks. Could it be
the medical profession is
casting covetous eyes on that
billion dollars?
They complained that $3.50
million is spent yearly on
worthless arthritic remedies.
The take" by the medical
profession from arthritiS VIC
tins could be many times
that amount - on a disease
they admit to having no cure
for. nor do they claim to have
knowledge of its cause. 1t was
also claimed that cancer
"quackS" are collecting $50
million yearly. We believe the
medical methods account for
many times that amount for
the treatment Of cancer vic
Tins, the majority of whom
die under the treatment any,
way. Could this not be classed
as quackery?
If the ANA could DEM
onstrate it is seriously try
ing to do something about
the many widespread dangers
to health and welfare of the
American public, such as food
additives, pesticide residues,
over-use of drugs, tobacco
and liquor, perhaps the peo-
pie would have more conf
dence in them. Instead of this
they call a congress to con-
denim the reading of books
such as Folk Medicine" and
"Arthritis and Comm on
Sense" along with the use of
vitamins, natural herbs, and
health diets. The use of such
things is said to put you in

These young people have
much to gain. and surely
nothing to lose by taking
advantage of the best years
of their lives. I like to think
that, perhaps, their teachers
should not be left out of the
picture entirely. If the action
of the young people was
backed up by their teach
ers, congratulation to those
teachers.

have come up with the robot

1T looks like a soldier,

ably still is a way to go be-
fore fighting soldiers can be
turned out by the millions on
the assembly lines of a plastic
factory. But not too far
maybe.
The present product is a
perfectly disciplined soldier,

done yet-always to salute a

life-sized man" has just
been introduced at the Naval
Training Device Center at
Port Washington, N. Y. Its
only job for the present is
to stand up and be shot
down. Closely resembling a
soldier in combat. it can run
upright or at a crouch. crawl
up a fairly steep slope with
ease, and play dead when
hit.
Self-Acting Target
1t has been introduced pure
ly for target practice. Several
years ago, according to the
Navy report. a big-game
hunter and shooting enthu-
siast wrote a letter to PreSi-
dent Eisenhower suggesting
that a new dimension be in
troduced into small arms fir
ing training: a life-like, full
sized man" target capable
of unrestricted and unpro-
grammed movements. The
idea was first taken up by the
Army and the plastic soldier
was developed by Armaments,
Incorporated of Cockeysville.
Md.
It is made of a plastic
called styrofoam coated with
electrically conducive paint.
An electrostatic charge car
ried by the bullet is set
off as the bullet passes
through the material. This
charge is then transferred by
the conductive coating to
electric components in the
vehicle which constitutes the
feet and legs. This, in turn.
provides impulses to stop the
robot soldier, drop it to the
ground, and also to send a
radio signal to record a hit
on a counter at the operator
control position. The target
can detect automatic fire at
rates up to TOO rounds per
minute.
The robot soldier is hinged
at the knees to a vehicle
which weighs about 800
pounds. This weight is due
to its armored hull and the
large number of batteries
necessary for power. Each
wheel is independently pow
cred by an electric motor
mounted within the hub. The
tires are filled with foam
plastic to provide support,
even when punctured by a
large number of bullets. 1t

3NT All Pass
Opening lead: Heart deuce.
West led the deuce of hearts,
an obvious singleton. and Eastss
ten forced out the ace. South
led the ten of clubs for a
fineSse, losing to the king.
East saw that If he cashed
ithe king of hearts, dummy's
fqueen would become set up,
and that otherwise the queen
Iof hearts would never win a
trick. For this reason East
abandoned the hearts and
switched to the queen of spades.
South hopefully covered with
the king of spades, and West
could take only three spade
tricks. These three tricks and
EaSt'S king of clubs left the
defenders one trick short of
defeating the contract.
I Should Cash Trick
East should, cash. the king
Eof hearts before leading the
queen of spades. This would
defeat the contract, since the
defenders would then get one
4 heart, one club and three
| spades.
- How could East tell? All he
had to do was look at the
dummy.
1t was pretty clear that
South had the king of dia-
n1onds or some sure way of
getting to his hand for a dia-
mond finesSe. Otherwise South
would have tackled diamonds
rather than clubs.
South was therefore sure to
win five diamonds and three
clubs as soon as he regained
the lead. That would give him
nine tricks, and dummy's S
queen of hearts would be of no
Importance.
In short. the queen of hearts
didn't matter, but the king of
hearts might be the setting
trick. --.,.. ~ 81!

Answer: Bid two hearts if
not vulnerable and if the op-
ponents are slow doublers.
Otherwise pass. You might

hand, so you cannot lightly
bid for eight tricks.
