AUSTIN, April 12—When
Says the American Academy
of Pediatrics:
“The normally healthy in-
fant should be checked about
every six weeks during the
first year; every three months
during the second year; and
once a year from the sixth to
the twelfth year.”
Need it Yearly
Most medical authorities be-
lieve that from about 12 years
up to age 40 or 45, annual
health check-ups are adequate.
After 45 some doctors advise
examinations every nine
months. These time schedules,
keep in mind, are suggested for
normal persons without previ-
ous serious or chronic illness.
No single examining routine
can be applied to all persons,
but all eheck-ups include a
medical history, the actual
physical examination, and cer-
tain laboratory and x-ray pro-
cedures.
The medical history gives the
doctor clues as to what he
should be especially alert for.

WASHINGTON, April 12—
Senate sub-committee hearings
. on minimum wage extensions
, closed here this week after a
violent clash between Sen.
I Wayne Morse (D-Ore.) and La-
। bor Secretary James P. Mitchell
I over each others’ concept of the
1 function of minimum wage
| laws.
Morse is Senate sponsor of
the Morse-Kelley bill, endorsed
by the AFL-CIO, that would
give wage protection to 9.G
million workers of the 20 mil-
lion now uncovered, according
to estimates of Research Direc-
tor Stanley Ruttenberg.
No Bill Yet
Mitchell has proposed cover-
. age of only 2.5 million addi-
tional workers. He told the sub-
committee several weeks ago
। that the Labor Dept. had pre-
pared “legislative language” to
embody his program but no
member of Congress as yet has
proposed the “legislative lan-
guage” in the form of a bill.
Mitchell estimated that about
400.000 workers would get
actual pay raises under his pro-
posals. He would not grant any
of the 2.5 million overtime
after 40 hours.
The Morse bill, according to
estimates, would give basic pay
raises to about 2.5 million
workers and would give the
entire 9.6 million time and a
half after 40 hours a week.
Questioned on Statement
Morse questioned Mitchell
first about the secretary’s state-
ment that the Morse-Kelley

tions of the past were not
“wisdom” but “mistakes” for
the present Congress to “cor-

of the most vital single phases
of health promotion.
A “periodic check-up” is
simply a careful study of a
presumably healthy person. It
should be performed regularly
once a year, preferably by the
family physician as a means of
detecting disease or body mal-
function in an early stage.
Early treatment not only re-
duces suffering, but it can also
prevent some diseases from be-
coming chronic, and perhaps
incurable.
Better Health Practices
Besides detecting disease at
an early stage before it be-
comes too painful or too deep
rooted, the check-up can serve
as a basis for better health
practices for the patient and
his family.
The physician can discuss
such problems as diet, exercise,
rest, work and play habits, and
