Street Cars
Mr.. J. W. S., WASHING

Mr.. J. W. S., Washington
Just about a year ago,
someone wrote in to RICH
and wanted to know where
toy street cars could be pur-
chased. They had to be toy
street cars, not toy buses. The
matter stuck in my mind be-
cause I am one of those who
thinks that street cars are
cheaper and more comfort
able than buses.
1 came across the infor-
nation as to where these
could be purchased last
March. 1t was in a magazine
called Model Railroader and
the advertisements were on
pages Is and 81 Of the jan
uary, 1861 issue. The maga-
zine is published by the Kahn
back Publishing Co., located
at 1927 N. Seventh street
in Milwaukee, Wis. Perhaps
some of you who like street
cars and want to find models
of them would like to find out
where they can be purchased.
At any rate, I hope I have
been helpful to someone.

YOURS
First Lady to Fete Press;
Presidential Box Is Ready
BY BETTY BEALE

Mrs. Kennedy will have
been in her new job 21a
months when she entertains
women of the press at a
luncheon on April IL. None
of her predecessors can beat
that record.
The feminine by-liners ap-
preciate the invitation not
only for the warm gesture
Of hospitality from the per-
son they are most interested
in covering, but also for its
promptneSs and for the rare
opportunity to taste the culi-
nary art of the White House
cuisine, which has figured
as. prominently in the news
of late as the White House
nursery They tell me
that the social department
at the Casa Blanca and Chef
Pedro Udo are more nervous
about planning and cooking
this meal for the women who
spread the printed word than
anything they have done to
date.
THE KENNEDYS are ex-
pected at the National Thea
ter one night this week to
see the marvellous new musi-
cal Carnival" that had its
world premiere here. When
ever they appear all will be
in readiness.
AS q Representative and a
Senator, until he began cam
paigning for the presidency,
John Kennedy regularly had
two tickets opening night at
the National. If he and his
wife didn't use them some
body else did.
Hence when he was elected,
the Nationals biggest stock
holder, Robert w. Dowling,
president of ANITA, decided
that the first box, stage
right-which means on your
left If you're sitting in the
audience-should be enlarged
and redecorated. 1t has now
been extended az feet out
to provide a better view Of
the stage, has thick gold
colored carpeting in place Of
the green carpeting there be-
fore, and new, very comfort
able gold chairs with uphol-
stored backs and seats.
Seems that the Secret
Service prefers Presidents to
be seated in boxes. Although
they would appear to be sit
ting ducks in case Of trouble,
the Service would rather
have them In a box than
mixing with the crowd. Al
so, there are two private en-
frances the Kennedys can
use when they occupy that
box. One opens at the foot
of the box into q corridor
that goes through the ad-
joining building; the other,
one Franklin D. Roosevelt
used, is on a level with Box
No. 3 and opens right onto
an alley that may be en-
tered by car from F street.
Either is easy to protect.
Washingtonians hope they
will use the box often. It
gives q glamorous lift to
theater-going and offers an
other exciting facet to life in
Washington as compared to
that in other cities.

By the Associated Press

Republicans launched an at
tack on the Kennedy admin
istration's omnibus farm bill to-
day, contending it would greatly
broaden the powers of the Sec
retary Of Agriculture.
In doing so at a hearing on
the measure before the Senate
Agriculture Committee, the Re-
publicans took issue with Secre-
tary of Agriculture Freeman.
The Secretary, answering
questions by Senator Hicken-
looper, Republican of Iowa,
repeated previous declarations
that the measure would reduce
his field of authority.
Under the measure, the Sec
retary, with the help of farmer
advisory committees picked by
him from farmer selected NOM
inees, could draft farm COM
modify control programs. These
programs would go into effect
if not vetoed within so days by
either house of Congress and
if approved by two-thirds of the
producers voting in a referen-
dunn.

RibicoH Rops Doctors
Who Fail Public Trust

SAN FRANCISCO, Jun S
(SpeciaD. The practice of
medicine is a public trust which
doctors should do more to live
up to, Secretary of Health, Ed
ucation and Welfare Abraham
Ribicoff said today.
With millions being spent
on research, doctors sometimes
break down when it comes to
the application of new discov-
cries, he told the graduating
class of the University of Cal
ifornia Medical School here
mo matter how we look at
it," he said, "the evidence tells
us plainly that we should be
doing better"
Doctors, he added, are often
taught by teachers who are
public employees and even in
private colleges generous ben
efactors paid the differences
between tuition and costs. for
tuition seldom covers total
COSTS"
1t is the people who grant
doctors licenses to practice and
the public that builds and
equips hospitals to practice in,
Mr.. Ribicoff declared.
Attitude Important
Warning the graduates not
TO practice solely for personal
gain, Mr.. Ribicoff asked, "Is

not sufficiently considered
either by the Ways and Means
Committee or by the House.
They warned that it failed to
meet a basic tax equality prob
lem, might create more dispar-
tiles then it would remove,
would cause a serious drop in
Treasury revenues, and was
not wholeheartedly favored by
the Treasury.
Taxable on Retirement
Under the proposed self-em-
ployed taxpayers plan, many
professional and business peo-
pie, as we'll as farmers and
others would not be taxed on
their annual $2,500 contribu-
tions until they actually re-
ceived the funds upon retire
ment, between the ages of 5912
and 7O1a.
The bill has been marching
up Capitol Hill and down again
since 1858.
Supporters managed to get
it through the House in March
1859, only to see it die in the
Senate last year.

mittee and Treasury Depart.
ment staff experts estimated
that the tax revenue loss to the
Evening star., 1961-06-05

there not still room in med
fcine for a full measure of
humanitarianism?"
Noting that the practice of
medicine as well as the ma
tional modes of living are con-
stantly changing, he called on
doctors to change with the
times. People have higher ex-
pectations now, he said. They
read and know about research.
"They will no longer feel that
their health is secure or lives
saved because of your personal
efforts alone"
People want your services
and will want them further" /"
Mr.. Ribicoff said. But they
do not always get what they
need-when they need it.
Let us face the fact that
often - most frequent among
our older people-they do not
get it because they cannot pay
for it."
Wait Too Long
TOO proud to impose on
their children or on others,
too ashamed to seek public
aims. they postpone the day of
reckoning until the point of no
return" the Secretary said.
Speaking of the continuing
trend toward specialization, Mr..
Ribicoff said too many doctors
have lost the ability to offer
real personal attention.
The physician-patient rela-
tionship isn't what it used to
be, he said. LAS the trend to-
ward specialization moves on,
the patient has become the
patient of platoon of physi-
clans" This trend, he said,
prevents doctors from recog-
nizing the wishes and needs of
the great mass of patients.
Mr.. Ribicoff called on the
students to mix humanity with
medicine and remember that
"an understanding of the pas
sion and motives of men is
the magic tool of the doctor of
tomorrow.
