AX -oOo Surgeons Use Television Thousands of surgeons, at the annual meeting of the American College of Sur geons just held in New York, have wit nessed a demonstration of what may be „ come one of the great new methods for teaching the latest and best surgical tech niques in performing all types of opera tions. For its first large-scale tryout, the Ra dio Corporation of America took its tele vision equipment into a hospital operat ing room and televised a series of oper ations performed over four days. The tele vised images were shown on receiving sets in a New York hotel, more than a mile away from the operating room. As the surgeons of Hie New York Hos pital-Comell Medical Center performed the operations, the members of the American College of Surgeons gathered about the many television receivers in the hotel. Several hundred surgeons saw an operat ion at each sitting, day after day. Way back in 1913, founders of the American College of Surgeons “felt it would be helpful to any doctor ... to ob serve at first hand the work of outstand ing practitioners of his art,” Collier’s maga ' zine says in commenting on this use of television in surgery. But the American College of Surgeons found that only a few doctors, at any one time, could get close enough to observe a fellow practitioner operate. Even am phitheaters, especially built to permit clinical observation, have proved unsatis factory. Medical movies have been a partial answer. “Now television supplies yet another means of visual education,” Collier’s con tinues, “and the medical profession has great hopes for it. . . Perhaps the most at tractive thing about the medical telecast is its immediacy. Doctors, like other people are subject to the dramatic pull of some thing that is happening light now, this minute.” It’s not difficult to visualize groups of medical men, in the not distant future, sitting about receivers and watching fa mous surgeons performing both routine and rare operations. That’ll give surgeons a rare opportunity. It’ll have a salutary ef fect on the whole medical profession. Earning Pay High wages for labor are obviously de sirable. But one failure of a large seg ment of labor to do a day’s work commen surate with present record earnings is one of the most dangerous of today’s prob lems, and is an important contributory fac tor in price inflation and the deterioration of the dollar. The President of the Portland, Oregon Chamber of Commerce, recently cited the case of bricklayers who, in the late twen ties, would lay from 1,500 to 2,000 bricks per day. Now output is considered good if a man lays 500, and most contractors es timate 300 when preparing bids. At the same time, the bricklayer’s wage has risen to $25 a day. However, if production is taken into ascount, the bricklayer’s wage, compared with the twenties, works out to something like $120 per day. > The building trades may be an extreme example of cost-boosting. But almost every major industry has reported that man Twin Oaks News Mr. and Mrs. Harry Smith, Johnson City, Term., spent the week end with her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Hurley Poole here.

OULY OVCO. ■* rvnwM-zJ I ■ ■ Almost everyone with the ex ception of those with authority to call one, litis demanded a special session of the 80th con gress. The Republican leadership . . . Sen. Robert A. Taft says we don’t need one: Sen. Arthur Vandenburg, president of the sen ate, leaves it up to the President, and Speaker Joe Martin remains silent. These three could call a special session. As this is written President Truman has arrived in Washington. Shortly before he left for Rio he asserted he saw ! no reason for a special session at that time. The state depart ment may change his mind. The proposal of Congr. Edith Nourse (R-Mass.) for a vari-col ored currency instead of the standard green is meeting with some attention although generally the idea has been greeted with jokes by, writers ^ndwpimenta tors. The Massachusettli congress woman is dead serious however and will introduce a bill to carry out her idea at -th'e'Joming ses sion. There is every indication that the second session of the congress will again attempt to change the tax structure and include in the measure permission for husbands and wives to split family incomes as is now done in community pro perty states. It may be that the treasury department will back such a proposal which would re-1 duce income taxes by holding. many incomes out of the highest; surtax brackets. With personal j income soaring to the highest point in history, 197 billion dollars; for July, and the cost of living; would provide relief for millions of taxpayers. Meat and grain likely will come' in tor some of the government’s* anti-trust suits in the fight against monopoly timed to break during I the 1948 presidential campaign. Grain speculating and the part these speculators play in higher j food prices will also undergo, a thorough probing by the justice department Of interest to farmers is the difference in opinion as to ex ports 'bn flour and wheat. War, commerce and state departments are. urging the higher proportion of grain -exports should be in whole wheat so mills in other countries, labor and by-products could be utilized. The department of agriculture, however, holds to the theory that the exports should be aproximately equal in flour and wheat since miling by-pro ducts of exported flour feeds of about a million and a half tons, the equivalent of about 50 mil lion bushel of wheat. This feed was vital to farmers and the de partment points out that with Two important points to remem ber in "storing honey for home use are: Honey must be comple tely cured before it is removed from- the hive, and containers must be perfectly dry before hon ey is placed in them. At the dose of the day’s work, washing the shoulders of work out it the price of wheat might have gone even‘higher. Not generally understood is the fact that all measures introduced s"d still pending in the first ses sion of the 80th congress will oe tas.en.up for action in the sec ond session at the same place in the legislative procedure they were at the time of adjournment. In other words, a bill which has passed the house, for instance, will only have to pass the senate in the coming session. Measures reported out of committee will be taken up for passage without fur ther djommitte hearings. Much work has been done on hundreds of important measures left pend ing when congress adjourned to meet in regular session on Jan. 6, 1948. Some of the important measures affecting agriculture left pending include . , ,30-cent bonus on wheat and corn sold between Jan. 1, 1945 and April 18, 1946 . . approved by senate agriculture committee; senate 1251 authorizing TVA to operate a fertilizer plant at Mobile, Ala bama and to supply fertilizer to farmers in each state for test demonstrations . . .hearings by senate agriculture committee but no action; senate 925 to liberalise farm credit by transferring land 1 bank commissioner 'loan service to the federal land bank system and increase the limit of loans to farmers from 65 to 75 percent of appraised value. . . appraved by a subcommittee for further study; price support of $3.10 per 100 pounds for milk . . .passed by the house but not acted on in the senate; farm bankruptcy act re newing until March 1, 1948 lap sed provisions of the bankruptcy act to permit a farmer to obtain a 3-year moratorium on fore closures on his farm by filing bankruptcy petition in U. S. dis trict court.. .passed by the house but not by the sedate. Uncle Sam Says Cherry Lane News Mr. and Mrs. J. T.
