Dear DR.. Steincrohn: Re-

did not know that I had
fallen down until ] came to
An my kitchen a few min
gutes later. I was given an

Of petit NAL was confirmed.
The doctor advised that I
take certain pills and stop
driving my car until the con-
dition is under control. I
need my car so I went to
another doctor who said my
blackouts are not due to epi-
lepsy, but to a fallen colon.
He says special exercises and
injections win clear up my
trouble. In the meantime. I.
he said I can keep on driv-
ing my car. What would you
do?-Mrs. L.
I'D LISTEN to the first
doctors advice, and take it.
I've never heard of the colon
having anything to do with
epilepsy. AS for the car, how
ever badly you need it, don't
drive. Not only do you take
your own life in your hands,
you endanger many inno-
cent people.
Epileptic patients are al
lowed to drive in most States
when their illness is under
control. But they are actual
menaces to life and limb
when they defy the sound
advice of physicians trained
in diagnosis and treatment.

WOrriSOme Theory
This theory could weaken
congressional support for the
tax-cut bill, and has worried
Mr.. Heller.
He testified today that there
Is no conclusive evidence that
technology is advancing signif-
icantly faster now than it has
In the past. He noted that mod
ern methods Of production have
displaced workers throughout
this country's history, but have
made the economy stronger and
created jobs in the long run.
Nevertheless, he said, tech
biological or structural unem-
ployment is a serious problem,
and must be attacked with Wig
orous programs in such fields
as education and 10 btraining.
Even If technology is advanc-
ing at an accelerating rate, Mr..
Heller said, tax cuts to increase
demand still are the main
weapon to combat unemploy-
ment.
Training and such structural
remedies will not work, he
warned, If the economy is so
sluggish that it will not pro-
duce enough jobs even for skill
ed workers.
He estimated the tax reduc-
tons would directly add $50
billion to total production of
goods and services and create
two to three million extra jobs.
He produced statistics de-
signed to show that the main
difference between conditions
today and in 1857, when un-
employment was low, is the lack
of adequate demand, not basic
changes in the structure Of the
economy or the labor force.
