In Detroit last week, New Orleans' famed Surgeon Alton Ochsner addressed a gathering of doctors on the recent increase in lung cancer, which he believes is directly traceable to increased smoking. Every pack-a-day smoker over 40 should have a chest X ray every six months, said Ochsner; every pack-a-day man over 50, every three months. Said nonsmoking Dr. Ochsner sadly: "A great many physicians are heavy smokers." Over his attentive doctor-audience, the air was blue with smoke.

EURJ Psychoanalyst Theodor Reik told a Manhattan audience that both sexes are ruled by fears, but different fears. "A man is always trying to prove to himself that he is enough of a man. Every man doubts that he's really masculine. But a woman is afraid of being only a woman and not a person. She fears she hasn't enough to offer. She's afraid men will find out her faults."-
