Dear DR.. StelncrOnn: MY
husband, So, is troubled with
pains in the chest. Fearing
the worst, I insisted that he
have a thorough physical
check-up, which he did and
with very good results. He
was told that he had a very
slight angina condition, not
uncommon at his age. and 1t
was nothing to be alarmed
about.
Another doctor diagnosed
the cause of his pains as
hiatus hernia" This is all
very foreign to us, as are so
many other medical terms.
and we would appreciate
your advice in the matter.
What is the real trouble, we'd
like to know. Can it be cured
or alleviated? We are both
worried.-Mrs. G.
YOU HAVE many thou
sands Of Americans who join
you in wishing to know just
what it is they have that
causes their symptoms. Un-
fortunately. differing opin-
ions from two physicians
throw the ordinary layman
into a tizzy. And I have seen
numerous examples where
sick physicians reacted the
same to varying pronounce
ments by colleagues who had
examined them.
Lest I forget it, I want to
tell you now to ask for a
third medical opinion by an
internist of great expert
ence and standing. You'll
have to take his verdict and
then 60 along and hope for
the best. Otherwise you'll be
going from doctor to doctor,
becoming more and more
frustrated.
Personally, I never make
the diagnosis Of Slight an
gina" or pseudo angina"
Either it is angina pectoris
or it isn't. The electrician
diagrams may or may not
show changes even in actual
angina.
Hiatal hernia can cause
chest pain, heartburn and
indigestion. Special X-rays
will discover it. This condi-
ton is not a dangerous one.
Diet and other conservative
measures help most such
cases.

The Justice Department is

says.
Senator Mcclellan, chairmaS
of the Senate Investigating

on the subject yesterday.
Mr.. and Mrs. Clayton Hart
testified during the hearings
that Jack Bright. AGVA ma

demanded a bride before giving
Mr.. Hart an AGVA job in
Sarasota. Fla.
Mr.. Bright, also under oath,
denied the charges.
Both Mr.. Bright and the

Ian said, and the Justice De-

arrangements.
The letter, by Assistant At

is studying testimony before
the subcommittee as a possible
basis for prosecution for per-
jury and also violations of the

1887 Murder
Guilt Upheld

A man convicted Of murder
over IS years ago has lost q
District Court bid to vacate his
sentence on the ground he was
mentally incompetent to stand
trial.
Judge Alexander Holtzoff
yesterday rejected the claim Of
James Bostick, who was given
a death sentence that later was
committed to life Imprisonment.
Bostick, convicted in 1887,
was ruled insane in 1910 after
he had spent over three years
in a death cell in District jail
awaiting his execution.
He later was judged sane and
was transferred from st. Eliza
beths Hospital to the Atlanta
Penitentiary, where he now is
serving a life sentence.
A hearing on his petition was
ordered by the United States
Court Of Appeals. Judge Holtz-
off said attempting to deter
mine his condition in 1887 Dor
dered on the bizarre.
However, the judge heard
testimony for more than a day
in an attempt to get at the
facts. In an opinion released
yesterday, he said that incom-
potency had not been shown.
A psychiatrist who examined
Bostick a few days before his
trial testified he had been of
sound mind. Judge Holtzoff
said Bostick's testimony at his
trial appeared to have been
intelligent"
Counsel for Bostick put on
the stand a pSychiatrist who
saw Bostick in 1910 and said
he doubted he was competent.
A psychologist who also saw
him then supported the incom-
potency claim.
Judge Holtzoff, after listen
ing to this and other testimony,
ruled Bostick had been COM
petent at the time of his trial
to understand the nature of the
charge and to assist his coun-
sci.
The Judge said to vacate the
sentence after a lapse Of Is
years on the basis of the rec
ord given him would be a
mockery Of justice"
Judge Holtzoff said the case
was an example of the misuse
of laws permitting prisoners to
challenge their sentences. He
suggested that Congress might
tighten such laws.
