Hospital is pictured here in his hospital bed as he got a real, first-class haircut at the hands of Dr. J.
Ralph Johnson, surgeon at the hospital. Dr. Johnson, who worked his wav through college cutting hair,
couldn’t convince Mr. Winston that he was a barber, “and a good one, too.” Mr. Winston insisted, “You
’ll have to show me,” so Dr. Johnson did just that. He dug out his old barbering tools and gave Mr. Win
ston “one of the best haircuts I ever had.” Mr. Winston was injured in a wreck Easter weekend and
his foot Is shown weighted down by nine pounds of iron. He’s one of the oldest, if not the oldest, hosp

WASHINGTON, April 25—(UP)—
Economic Stabilizer Eric A. John

1,000,000 non-operating rail work
ers—the first leap in the 10 per

The new contract already had
been approved by the White House
and a special fact-finding panel.
The agreement had been held up
bcause only 2-% cents of the in

10 pA cent limit on wage Increases.
That’s as high as wages can rise
above January, 1950 levels.
Johnston followed the recom

BULLETINS
WASHINGTON, April 25—(IP)—Secretary of State Dean
Acheson disclosed today that Nationalist China agreed on
Feb. 9 to accept American military aid “for the defense
of Taiwan (Formosa) against a possible attack.”
FIVE CENTS PER COPY
“An escapee for SI years now
anchored to foot of hospital bed.
Victim’s badly-needed haircut
is being administered by gen
eral surgeon of hospital.”
That was the cutline for the pic
ture above suggested by M. E. (Pop)
Winston, manager of the Dunn
Hospital, who until a month ago
boasted that he had escaped hos
pital treatment himself during the
31 years he’s been a hospital ad
ministrator.
But, as can be seen, Pop’s boast
ing caught up with him Easter
weekend when he suffered injuries
in an automobile accident while
enroute to Wilmington to visit his
daughter, Mrs. Jack Sutton, and his
grandchildren.
For the past month, he’s been a
patient in his own hospital and is
still confined to his bed.
i When a Dally Record photo
grapher arrived, he found “Pop”
getting a haircut.
And who was doing the cutting?
None other than Dr. J. Ralph John
son, general surgeon and founder
of the Dunn Hospital.
It was the first time since Dr.
Johnson operated a dormitory bar
ber shop while working his way
through college that he had per
formed such an “operation.”
Manager Winston had been fuss
ing about getting a haircut and
being unable to find a barber.
“Don’t worry volunteered Dr.
Johnson, “I’ll cut it for you.”
“Pop” was more than a little
skeptical.
“I know you’re a good surgeon,
one of the best,” countered Win
ston, “but I don’t know about your
ability as a barber.”
DOC SHOWS ’EM
"Well, I’ll just show you,” assert
ed Dr. Johnson. And he went home
and dug out the shears and clip
pers he hadn’t used since he cut
hair for 15 cents a head at college
back In the *3OB.
So, with nine pounds of iron
weights attached to his right foot,
