What Medical
Authorities Say
About Drops
C. W. Talbot, M. D,, senior
.ophthalmic surgeon, Bellvue Hos-
pital, New York City, says: “A
drug in eye examination is not
necessary unless the
knowledge is limited.’*
L. K. Hlrschberg, M. D., profes-
sor of ophthalmology at
Hopkins University, says:
can be examined much more sat-
isfactorily without drops If spe-
cialists would only realize it.
Many failures by the best eye spe-
cialists are attributed to the use
of atropine and belladonna drops.”
E. E. Blarrow, M. D., speaking
before the Eleventh International
Congress of Ophthalmology, said:
‘‘The determination of refractive
errors with a mydraitic is unsci-
entific. objectionable, troublesome
and unnecessary.”
Swan M. Brunette. M. D., pro-
fessor of ophtalmology at George-
town University, said: “What is
needed is skill, not atropine or
other poisonous drugs.”
Paul Romer. M. D., in his text
book on othalmology, wrote: “It
is wrong to fit glasses while the
pupil is dilated with a drug.”
E. H. Spitzka, M. D.. professor
of anatomy at Jefferson Medical
College, himself a recognized au-
thority on anatomy, neurology,
and brain diseases; also writer of
the revised edition of Gray’s An-
atomy, said “When an individual's
vision becomes impaired I would
rather have him go to an optom-
etrist. As an active specialist in
his field, he acquires a special ap-
titude for the recognition of every
abnormality which only a few
medical practitioners can enjoy. In
the mapority of cases, only cor-
recting lenses are needed. In a
small minority of cases in which
a disease condition exists, the op-
tometrist can be relied upon to
recognize the pathologic state and
send the patient to a suitable prac-
titioner.”

A Special Heesion of Congress?
If Congress makes a deep cut in
the Administration’s foreign aid
request, according to rumors from
the White House, the President
will veto the bill and recall Con-
gress right after the national con-
vention.
Debt and Taxes. The Adminis-
tration has quietly asked Congress
for another increase in the Fed-
eral debt limit. As an alternative,
I have introduced a bill giving the
President power to make tempo-
rary increases or decreases in in-
come taxes up to 10 percent of
present rates. The bill would not
require the President to raise
taxes, but it would require him
to do this in place of permitting
the Administration to raise inter-
est rates. When the Government
raises interest rates throughout
the economy, it is doing the same
thing as increasing taxes on all In-
come groups, except that the rev-
enues from this kind of "tax” go
into increased incomes for a few,
rather than the Treasury where
they can be used to reduce the
Federal debt.
Personal income from interest
alone has jumped $3.1-billion
within the past 12 months, which
means an average payment of |17
per every man, woman and child
in the country, or $.85 per family
of 5. just in presonal income to a
few who benefit from high inter-
est. If we counted increased cor-
porate income from interest, we
would find the real cost a great
deal higher.
Raising taxes instead of interest
rates would help in other ways: It
would reduce the $9-billion a year
the Treasury is paying out in in-
terest; and it would also stimu-
late more economic growth, jobs,
income—and taxes. A major fault
with h’trh interest as a means of
restraining economic expansion
(and, it is thought, inflation), is
that high interest redistributes the
income in a way which cuts pro-
duction and slows real economic
growth. It takes purchasing pow-
er from the great majority and
thus reduces consumer demand.
This makes necessary still further
restraints, by still higher interest,
to prevent productive capacity ex-
panding beyond consumer de-
mand.
Mortgage .Money. It’s becoming
more available. If you are con-
sidering buying or building a
house, I believe you can expect
some drop in interest rates later
in the summer.
Steel Speed-Up. The Ford .Mo-
tor Company has announced that
it has a new process for making
open-hearth steel which cuts in
half the time of making a ton of
steel by this process. The com-
pany has said also that only a
small additional expense will be
required to double its open-hearth
capacity.
Small Business. The Small
Business Investment Act reached
a milestone of sorts last week
when the SBA issued its 100th li-
cense to a Small Business Invest-
ment Company. Said the SBA:
“Small business investment com-
panies are serving as a catalyst
-—bring private capital and small
business together and thereby
helping to meet the needs of
small firms for equity capital and
long term loans.” The Small
Business Investment Act was au-
thored by Senator Lyndon John-
son and myself.

I appreciate the fine vote given me in
the May 7 Democratic Primary and urge
each of you to go to the polls Saturday
