The legislator who dreamed up New Hampshire's "Live

how their Speaker Thomas (Tip)
O'Neill tried quietly to line up
the votes needed to pass the
raise. He found few congress-
men who wanted the extra $1,-
900 badly enough to face the
wrath of the voters.
The attitude of the Speaker's
own Massachusetts delegation
finally convinced him that the
pay raise was doomed on the
House floor. Only two of his
eight Massachusetts coilegues -
James Burke and Michael Har-
rington - were willing to vote
for the salary increase.
Even the Speaker's most faith-

Diplomatic Impunity

Since I lost my job, that’s all I can afford.
"
Lawrence E. Lamb, M.D.
Foreign governments owe the District of Columbia
$1,070,000. That's the value of some 37.905 unpaid parking
tickets issued to diplomats between Jan. 1.1970 and last
March 31.
According to the district’s Department of Transporta-
tion, the Soviet embassy has accumulated more unpaid
parking tickets than any other embassy by far, with 12,270.
Distant runners-up are the Israelis, with 4,885.
There’s not much chance this $1 million-plus will ever be
collected since diplomatic immunity exempts foreign em-

The surprising thing, though, is that despite diplomatic
immunity, the foreign embassies'in Washington do pay
about 20 per cent of the tickets slapped on their wind-
shields. Compared with the record of repayment of World
War I and World War II debts to this country, that’s not a
bad percentage at all.

The most jarring noise in the

variety of energy-gulping ma-

mercial hauler on the road. They
all travel Gulf - east and west

over more railroad tracks, past
assorted businesses that almost
hide the few remaining resi-

the disease to go away. What
else can we do?

there would be no pain at all.
Incidentally cirrhosis of toe
liver is toe fourth leading
cause of death in men between
the ages of 35 and 54 and 60 per
cent of these are caused by
alcohol - a preventable dis-
ease.
Chemical tests are done to
test the liver function when in-
dicated. And when the situa-
tion warrants it the doctor can
take a small biopsy of the
liver with a special needle and
look at a small sliver of tissue
under a microscope.
DEAR DR. LAMB - Two
months ago our 9-year-old
daughter became ill. Her
glands became so enlarged
they were tender and hurt her.'
She also had a temperature
off and on, often up to 103
degrees.
She had large amounts of
red blood cells in her urine
and her strep count wal up to
2,500. The doctor decided she
had sub-acute nephritis.
He said it was caused from
the strep in her system. He
has been treating her with
penicillin. She has a pale look

I was reminded of her axiom
when I recently decided to walk
the mile to and from work. Dur-
ing the depression my family
couldn't even afford a bicycle,
much less a car. True, papa had
bought a Model T Ford in the
20s, but his Irish temperament
was more combustible than it
was After he sold that, the fam-
ily resorted to walking any-
where in the small town of Tena-
ha or the immediate country-
side that we needed to go.
Now, in the 70s, after three de-
cades of driving everywhere,
from two blocks to 2,000 mite,
I'm walking again. Several
things sparked my decision. The
hideous insurance rates on a
“work" car plus the increasing
costs of fuel should have been
enough. But when toe president
asked toe natidn to Conserve en-
ergy, and my doctor told me to
increase mine, that did it. I
would walk from 704 E. Gulf to .
613 W. Gulf at 8 a.m. and back at
noon. (I assigned Lee College Li-
