FACE 6-SECTION TWO-PLAINDEALER-AUGUST 20, 1975 EDITORIALS Get Tough Policy Doctors today have cause to complain about the cost of malpractice insurance. But by getting overly tough, they 're likely to lose more than they gain. The cost of malpractice insurance is too high; but doctors can probably afford the increase better than any other class in the nation. Striking-which in effect is endangering lives by withholding medical services-is a two-edged sword doctors should use sparingly. Certainly to use this final weapon because of the high cost of insurance is questionable. The public is entitled to medical care from doctors in the tradition of the medical profession; doctors are entitled to malpractice insurance at a decent rate. They will eventually get it. Few are likely to starve before that time. Meanwhile, the overkill of withholding medical services is not good policy or public relations for members of the lucrative medical profession. Car Pricing The automobile industry seems unable to learn from 'the past. Having hiked car prices repeatedly in the last two or three years, the companies were hard hit by drastic sales declines in the past twelve months. Part of the reason was the recession but another reason was that prices had risen too fast. Now the industry is readying a new price hike for 1976 models - due soon. Not yet out of the sales slump of 1974-75, with the nation not yet fully out of the recession, and with foreign car sales increasing each year (they are up again in the first months of 1975), U.S. makers continue to follow shortsighted pricing policy. Holding the line on prices this year is vitally important to new-car sales hopes, to the competition with foreign makes and to the fight on inflation. The urge to increase profits by still higher prices continues, however, to dominate the thinking in Detroit. If ever there was a year to hold the line on new-car prices, this is the year. The auto makers, in effect, fail the country, in not making every effort to do so. pvf HOUGHTON HEATING • Air Conditioning • Gutters PHONE 385-5476 McHENRY EARL R. WALSH & JACK WALSH INS. Fire. Auto.

WELCOME TO THE FAIR CORN-tttfS yocs/t /An MACH/Ne i % % MOPfL 0 Puff-Puff In spite of the fact that for more than ten years the Public Health Service and the U.S. Surgeon General have been warning Americans they risk death by sucking burning cigarettes, sales of cigarettes continue at high levels. Millions have stopped smoking but other millions have been hooked by the attractive ads and the addiction which comes after a trial period of smoking. In recent years the cigarette companies, which formerly untruthfully advertised there wasn't a cough in a carload and such nonsense as a certain brand was soothing to the throat, etc., have stressed lower tar and nicotine content. This in itself confirms the very real danger in inhaling tar and nicotine in cigarette smoke. Hundreds of thousands of Americans are dying each year from cancerous lungs, heart attacks, breathing complications, hardened arteries, etc.--caused in whole or in part from long4 inhalation of cigarette smoke. Are you going to be one of those victims--of the class of 1975, 1976 or thereafter? A. G. Edwards & Sons, Inc. Weekly Market Review The market appears to be at a crossroad. As we discussed last week, the amount of damage done to stocks in only a few weeks time was great and obviously put the market into an oversold condition. This past week most stocks put on a holding action despite some additional excuses for the bear to growl again - Citibank raised its prime rate to 7% percent, the Treasury announced it will need $2 billion additional funds by mid- September, and the wholesale price index leaped up 1.2 percent in July. On Monday, Aug. 11, the Dow Industrials staged a six point advance and so far this morning the Dow is up over 7 points. The D.J. 810-820 area appears to have become a possible crossroad. A number of technical analysts had predicted a decline to this area and then new highs while others had looked for some support above 800 but only temporary and then lower. We have been and continue to look for stocks to go lower before the technical and psychological damage done to the market can be repaired enough to support a worthwhile advance. Also, we see little in recent market action to encourage a positive short term posture. If market action starts to show some real evidence of serious buying, we will adjust. However, action so far is both uninspiring (a negative advance-decline recently, despite an up Dow) and can be fully explained by the sharply oversold nature of the market. The market's oversold condition is what confuses the picture short term. Down 75 points intra day in only three weeks, stocks are certainly entitled to a rally at least a holding period even if they are going lower. Conversely, we remain bullish long term on the market and the economy so perhaps the 300 point Dow advance in only six months can catch its breath in such a short and not too unpleasant fashion. No one knows for sure what the short term holds. However, if we have made a bottom, stocks will likely come back and test it again giving another buying opportunity. If this is just a pause before stocks go lower and things get a bit bloodier (which is our opinion) prices will become even more attractive. Thus, no matter what trend develops short term, we believe it advisable to maintain a cautious posture and maintain cash. SENIOR CITIZEN S CORNER HELPFUL IDEAS FOR SUCCESSFUL RETIREMENT $ Estate Plans An estate plan is simply an ex­ pression of your own desires and objectives for the ownership, management, and preservation of your property during your lifetime, and its desired disposition upon your death, designed to incur the least possible taxes and other costs. A good estate plan should originate in your attorney's of­ fice. The creation of an estate plan involves a careful, legal analysis of the ownership of your real estate, securities, business interests, life insurance, an­ nuities and other property. The acquisition or disposition of any property, how the title should be held, or transferred at your death, all involve both legal and tax questions of great impor­ tance.

Does is affect the earth's weather to any signi­ ficant degree? Corpuscular radiation is. in the simplest form, a sort of electric current. It takes the form of charged particles which come into the earth's atmosphere from the sun. It is, then, a radiation from the sun. Yes,corpuscular radiation plays a major role in deter­ mining the earth's weather, according to many able me­ teorologists. It has the effect, when in abundance, to heat the polar regions, as apart from the equatorial regions. This pro­ duces extreme contrasts in the weather within short dis­ tances but generally makes for warmer, drier weather on most of the earth. Where are the trade winds found? Why are they called the trade winds? The trade winds-- long known by sailors who placed their trust in sails to circle the globe--are found above the Equator to about 30 de­ grees latitude. The south trade winds are those below the Equator and the north trade winds above. They tend to blow out of the east toward the west, espe­ cially nearer the Equator. They become more southerly in origin nearer 30 degrees north and south. Further north, above the north trades, and south, be­ low the south trades, blow the westerlies. They come out of the west and blow to the east, and are found to about 60 degrees north and south. In the north they real­ ly come from the southwest and blow slightly north and east. In the south, they really come from the northwest and blow slightly south and east.

Among other things, this movie showed tramps being doused with gasoline and set afire. Just two days later, Evelyn Wagler, 25, ran out of gasoline in a slum area of Boston. When she went on foot to get a two-gallon can of gas, six young men dragged her to a vacant lot, forced her to pour the gasoline over her body, then set her afire. Four hours later, Evelyn Wagler was dead. Coincidence? Don't believe it. The U.S. Surgeon General says, "The casual relationship between televised violence and antisocial behaviour is sufficient to warrant immediate remedial action." A Gallup Poll shows that two out of three Americans object to the present levels of violence on television. But can one person do anything? The answer is yes. But don't start by dashing off a hot letter to the presidents of ABC, NBC and CBS in New York. In­ stead, begin with the manager of the television station whose program you watch. Write him a letter, telling what you object to. Ask him to put your letter, together with his reply, in his "public inspection file." Also ask him to include your letter as pari of his application when his license comes up for renewal. Many, many Americans feel their hands are tied, and that they can do nothing as individuals. But we can, if we want to. When Chief Justice Warren E. Burger was a lower-court judge, he wrote two opinions, stating that when a television station applies for renewal of its license, the FCC must listen to community opinions. All television stations must get their licenses renewed every three years, or go off the airwaves. The airwaves belong to the public. You don't have to take blood and gore sitting down. Your voice can count, if you want it to. V-t R.J.
