Road Blocked


The convoy had parked at
the side of the autobahn just
before the first barrier of the
Babelsberg checkpoint. Two or
three Soviet officers and a few
soldiers blocked the road.
When the American convoy
was stopped at Babelsberg last
week the Russians surrounded
.it with about 100 troops and IL
armored personnel carriers.
Today an American Army
helicopter made a photo recon-
naissance sortie over Babels-
berg as the British waited.
The British convoy was en-
route to West Germany for
training exercises, a British
spokesman said.
A second British convoy OF
the same unit. consisting OF
10 vehicles with IS men was
at allied checkpoint Bravo
IL miles from Babelsberg, and
was ordered to remain there
when the first convoy was
stopped.
Officers of the Communist
East German Army set up OBJ
servation posts around Bravo
a salient of Western Berlin
East German officers followed
activity at the checkpoint
through field glasses.
Travellers said truckloads OF
East German troops were post
ed on parking lots along the
autobahn checking East Ger
man cars. Other East German
Army trucks were spotted NOV
ing along the autobahn toward
Berlin.
In hating the American
convoy, the Russians had in
sisted the blockade would con-

reached on the question Of
headcounts for military con-
voys. The Russians finally
ended a serious crisis by lifting
the blockade Saturday.

both incidents ought to be seen
as local misunderstanding by
the Russian military and not as
actions deliberately ordered by

Dear DR.. Steincrohn: ! am

taking dexedrine tablets to
reduce. Seeing how well she
looks I started taking them.
But I'm not losing very fast.
Mrs. 2.
IF YOUR SISTER was eat
ing some hard candies and
passed you the bag to have
some, you could dip in your
hand and come UP with any
flavor without any harm to
yourself. But it's quite an.
other matter when you begin
sharing medicine blindly.
I have prescribed dexedrine
quite often in the beginning
of a planned diet regime. 1t
is often effective in curtail-
ing the patients appetite
until such time as he is able
to take off weight by sheer
will power. But all patients
should not take this medi-
cine. It is up to the doctor
to make the decision. You
have calmly accepted that
responsibility yourself as If
it is no more important than
dipping into a candy bag.
Popping dexedrine is quite
different than popping hard
candy into your mouth. Be-
sides, you say you haven't
lost. Which should prove to
you that pills don't take off
weight; will power does. If
you are intent on continuing
with dexedrine, I suggest that
you see a doctor. If he says
it is all right, then perhaps
you'll come out looking as
well as your sister.

Dear DR.. Steincrohn: I note

you about the Importance of
seeing halos around lights.
Just prior to reading one Of
your columns, I saw halos
around street lights, I also
wondered what could be hap
pening to those lights, /
didn't dream that the trou-
BILE might be in my own Vi
sion.
Therefore, I did not run,
as you suggested, to my OPP
thalmologist to have an eye
examination. I went a cou-
pie of weeks later. I took a
tonometer test, which you
suggested, to test the pres
sure of the fluid in my eye

ly grateful to you.-Mrs. S.

you know by now, is the

only an A average in pre-
med would gain him entrance
into q medical school. (Of

70 per cent of students ac-

should be studied and planned

Hal planned to take courses
which would give him back

A serious shortage Of doc
tors is just around the corner.
The output of our medical
schools is barely meeting de-
mands now. Many medical
school graduates are entering
the fields of research and
teaching, rather than going
into private practice. This is
just at the time when, be-
cause Of our expanding popu-
lation, we need many more
practicing doctors.
Building and stating more
medical schools will not in
itself solve the problem. For
the very stating Of these
schools puts an additional
drain on the available sup
ply Of trained doctors.
The key to this problem Is
to persuade more top stu
dents to enter medical train
ing. But the present trend
seems to be In the other d.
rection. Fewer students en-
tering medical schools now
than formerly have an A rec
ord in their pre-medical col
lege work.

We must remove some of
the blocks in the thinking of
these young students which
cause them to bypass medi-
cine for other goals. The case
