Vanishing Drama
The public appetite for dramas has become sated,
probably due to television and the screen. A dozen
new dramas were introduced on the New York stage
in the 1964-65 season. All failed. Musical comedies
and comedies draw the crowds. Apparently people
want light entertainment at the theater, nothing im-

As the movement among doctors to boycott medi-
care burgeoned, the new president of the American
Medical Association, Dr. James Z. Appel of Lan-
caster. Pa , told the physicians it would be unethical
and an act of bad citizenship to refuse to serve under
the medicare program.
The medical profession must actively participate
in the development of medicare rules and regulations
and cooperate both with the intent and letter of the
law. Dr. Appel told the A.M.A.’s House of Delegates
in his first address after he was installed as its head.
Doctors must never let political philosophy influ-
ence the care they give their patients, he added.
Doctors still oppose the medicare program, among
them their new president. But the act has passed the
House and it is expected to pass the Senate and be
signed into law. Dr. Appel urged the medical pro-
fession to work for containing the medicare program,
to keep it from expanding into socialized medicine,
instead of refusing to participate altogether.
Should he be upheld, and he was confident he
would be. Dr. Appel will have rendered the older cit-
izens of the country- a signal service. Without the co-
operation of the doctors, there could be no effective
medicare program. With their cooperation they can
render the services it describes and also advise on
its failings and shortcomings with authority.
The 2.5 million federal employes take about 20
million days of sick leave a year. That averages out
at 8 days each—a high incidence of worker sickness.
At an average per diem of $25. that means the gov-
ernment loses $500 million due to sick leave. That is
a very high price. ,
Quoting these figures. President Johnson called on
his Cabinet to get behind a broad preventive health
rate service for federal employes. Reducing sick
leave even by a half day by the average employe
would add a million working days a year, he pointed
out It would also improve the production and moti-
vation of employes.
Hereafter, preventive health service will be sup-
plied by any federal unit with 300 or more employes
or in any locality where at least 300 federal employes
work within reasonable distance of one another. II
that includes postal employes, many cities in the
country should be included
The health rooms will attend to on-the-job illness
or injury , sponsor health education and screen disease
examinations and some immunizations They will pro-
vide medical examinations for executives who work
many hours of overtime or with classified materials.
They will not replace family doctors, as employes
continue to be responsible for regular checkups.
Preventive health care will cut down absenteeism.

Therapy in The Home
It couldn’t have happened in a nice, neat profes-
sional office. But in the family home, the drama of
family relationships in an everyday setting was en-
acted faithfully.
The schizophrenic teen-aged daughter who boased
she could heat up her timid father anytime was sur-
prised when the therapists encouraged him to fight
back. After half the living room furniture had been
smashed and the father pinned his enraged daughter’s
arms to the wall, she gained a new respect for him
and he became more confident of himself. A condition
more favorable to further treatment had been estab-
lished
A team of psychiatrists, psychologists and social
workers at the Philadelphia Psychiatric Center has
been conducting such weekly family therapy sessions
in the homes of some 50 families for seven years
under a federal grant of $500,000. Although the trend
in psychotherapy is toward working with whole
families and keeping disturbed persons in the com-
munity, the Philadelphia experiment is believed to
be the first to conduct actual treatment sessions in
the home.
Its main focus has been on reaching families who
are too frightened or too inarticulate to take their
problems to a professional office. It has enabled the
center to reach and keep families together that could
not have been helped in any other way.

Should children take
care of pets?
Answer: Most children want
pets, but few will take care of
them faithfully. Wise parents re-
gard looking after pets as a
part of child-raiding, and remind
their youngsters to do their
share. Children are inconstant
in their feelings toward animal
pets, as they are in their feel-
ings toward playmates How-
ever, even when they lose in-
terest in a pet they usually
want to keep it around in times
of adversity as a faithful friend
to fall back on.
Can relatives help
cure addiction?
Answer: Usually not, because
drug addicts blame their prob-
lem on others. Since the hard-
est lesson for an addict is to
face life on his own, it is doubt-
ful if relatives can help him.
A recent study reported in the
New York Times found that
some mothers actually want
their sons addicted. An addicted
son is childishly dependent on
his mother, much more so than
other family members. This
gives the mother a subtle but
desired feeling of youth.

may be.
Supreme Court decisions gen-
erally are rendered on the con-
stitutionality of state laws, as
in the school segregation cases,
the legislative reapportionment
cases, and the school prayer
cases, in which the court has
assumed an authority in sev-
eral instances which earlier
courts decided they did not pos-
sess. But the criticisms of those
rulings, which are continuing,
have thus far not checked the
broadening of constitutional au-
thority.

SINCE FORMER Governor
Earl Warren of California be-
came Chief Justice in 1953, the
Supreme Court has become a
center of controversy, and has
written decisions which have
made it a “law giving body” as
the congressman described it,
issuing decrees in many cases
more extensive in their effect
than the votes of the legisla-
tive branch.
The effect of the court’s de-
crees will require years to bring
about the readjustments at
which they are aimed, but dur-
— proved in 1964 that it also at-
tracts the small contributions of
one and two dollars from the
poor folks.
Possibly, the Free Society will
stick to its announced aim of
trying to educate the citizenry,
but such restraint would be
most uncharacteristic of Barry
Goldwater and other members
of its board of trustees. Clare
Boothe Luce, for example, is
not likely to okay the spending
of Society funds to back a
Rockefeller campaign, and nei-
ther are Lewis Strauss, for-
mer head of the Atomic Energy
Commission, or that fire-eating
China Lobbyist, retired Admiral
Arthur Radford.

(3) CONSUMERS frequently
play a key role in the produc-
tion of services. In the super-
market, you are actually “work-
ing.” In the doctor’s office, the
quality of the information you
give strongly influences the pro-
ductivity of your physician. So
it goes in many services but
not in goods. The productivity
of the auto industry Isn’t af-
fected by whether you. the
driver, are bright or stupid.
Our shift to a service econ-
omy is, says Fuchs, similar in
some respects to the earlier
great economic changes — from
hunting and fishing to agricul-
ture and then from agriculture
and crafts to industry. We are
riding the tide of a new econo
mic revolution, with implica-
tions we are just starting to
grasp.
Skyrocket
NEVER BEFORE have wom-
en been able to compete for so
many jobs on as equal physical
terms with men as in the U.S.
today. Never before has employ-
ment been so stable in so many
occupations as in the U.S. to-
day. Never before has the
American consumer been so
vital a contributor to the actual
production of many industries
as in the U.S. today.
We have become a “ 'service
economy’—i.e., we are the first
nation in the history of the
world in which more than half
of the employed population is
not involved in the production
of food, clothing, houses. auto-
mobiles. and other tangible
goods,” Dr. Victor R. Fuchs re-
ports in the 45th annual report
of the National Bureau of Eco-
nomic Research, published to-
day. The above are only three
of the fascinating implications
of this profoundly important
event.
Economists long have been
aware of the skyrocketing signi-
ficnce of service industries in
the U.S. (services include trade,
general government, finance, in-
surance and real estate, person-
al. professional, business and re-
pair services.) Now, Fuchs’ re-
search is helping to bring the
historic shifts into focus. Con-
sider these astounding facts:

haves and have-nots, who seek
a return to the old, simple doc-
trines they can understand.
It is laughable when Goldwa-
ter says his new outfit doesn’t
want any "political types.”
What he means is that it de-
sires no help or interference
from the Dick Nixons, the
George Romneys, the John Lind-
says and the Bill Scrantons.
Once an organization raises $2
million, which the Free Society
will do, it will not be satisfied
with an educational program. It
will spend the dough promoting
the ambitions of its own hand-
picked conservative candidates.

dices: The trouble with self-in-
By CHARLES O. GRIDLEY
AS TWO members of Con-
gress crossed the Capitol plaza
toward their offices at the end
of a long and wearisome ses-
sion. one pointed to the U.S.
Supreme Court Building and re-
marked. "We'H be working all
this long hot summer, while
the real law givers are taking
their usual four months vaca-
tion.”
He wasn’t joking either. Con-
gress has begun to appreciate
that the United States Supreme
Court, created by the Constitu-
tion as the capstone of the vast
federal judicial pyramid. with
its authority somewhat ambig-
uously defined, has now used
its powers to give rulings in a
long line of cases which are
bringing about definite changes
in the American government.
Its critics go beyond that,
charging that the highest court
is usurping the right to inter-
pret the Constitution to an ex-
tent that the authors of that
great document never intended.
The justices began to assert
their authority during the long
term of Chief Justice John Mar-
shall (1801-1835) when, under
Marshall's guidance they hand-
ed down four landmark deci-
sions which established the
court as the interpreter of con-
stitutional powers:
Since then it has had a major
role in placing the federal gov-
ernment upon a firm founda-
tion. but in recent years, the
general opinion is that it has
extended the powers of that
government far beyound the
terest (even “intelligent” self-
interest) as a guiding rule of
conduct is that it is nearly al-
ways short-sighted, and rarely
sees what is good for itself in
the long run; thus, every privil-
eged group in history has been
destroyed not so much by its
enemies as by it own excesses
and blindness.
Can there be any relation be-
tween our Puritancial and hypo-
critical laws and the fact that
the U.S. has the highest rate of
rape and sex crime in the
world; while Japan, with 100
million people, has only three
or four rape cases a year, and
other sex crimes are practically
unheard of?
SHIFTS in the court's ma-
jority votes resulting in numer-
ous 5-4 decisions, with justices
siding with the majority in one
case and the minority in an-
other. are not new in Supreme
Court history, but now they
make difficult a classification
between liberals and conserva-
tives. The old divisions along
that line are gone, and it is
well understood that justices
now think in terms of sociologi-
cal change, rather than of legal
interpretation of the Constitu-
tion.
It would not be difficult for a
critic to say that the present
court is “soft on communism’’
(actually there have been about
as many decisions one way as
the other, with 5-4 the usual di-
vision): that it has favored de-
fendants in criminal cases
(there, too, the line is closely
drawn, though the law enforce-
ment authorities have complain-
ed that more decisions are dis-
advantageous to them than oth-
erwise); and that the court is
heavily balanced in favor of
organized labor (though most
decisions in labor cases are on
minor points and in the past
court session have been about
equally divided).
conservatism’s newest white
hope in California. Other can-
didates who look to the right
can expect both moral and fi-
nancial support from the Free
Society in its bid to place its
people in positions qf political
ower.
When Barry Goldwater says
he will have nothing to do with
a third party he is talking horse
sense as well as party loyalty.
There is no profit in forming a
third party when you have a
chance tojake over a party
that already exists. In this con-
test, the Free Society's treasury
will speak with a loud voice.
Do friendless people
shun affection?
Answer: Occasionally
W ASHINGTON- Barry Gold-
water is talking amiable non-
sense whlen he says the new
Free Society Association is
strictly an educational outfit to
promote conservatism. It is
Goldwater's bid to regain con-
trol of the schizophrenic Repub-
lican Party, and it is a bid that
could succeed.
The jury may still be out on
the question of whether the Re-
publican Party is basically con-
servative or moderately liberal,
but nobody disputes that the
conservatives have most of the
dough. As Gldwater is wont to
boast, he raised-more money
than any politician iit history,
and he did so for two reasons,
to wit: PPk
With lots of luck and
strenuous effort, the legislature
may be able to adjourn in time
to prove that a six-week job
shouldn't take longer than six
months.
TO THE average American,
the U.S. Supreme Court is a
vague and distant hierarchy,
which until the 1954 school de-
segregation decision meant com-
paratively little in his life. The
Constitution has been the foun-
dation of his liberties, and he
has been content to let Congress
and the politicians do the rest.
Now times are changing and
he realizes it more and more.
When the court overthrew the
Connecticut birth control law,
without being able to cite any
justification in the Constitution
or the Bill at Rights. the coun-
try learned that there is a
“penumbra" surrounding the
Bill of Rights, which supports
a "right of privacy.” That goes
beyond anything in the Consti-
tution.
The interpretation here, as in
several other “law giving”
cases, is that the Supreme
Court is willing to innovate to
reach results it feels the chang-
ing times require. And it be-
lieves that this is what the au-
thors of the Constitution intend-
ed.

WORDS ARE weapons, and it
is as dangerous to misuse them
as to point a loaded gun at

by stigmatizing as “socialized

has made the phrase "socializ-

the people, should it really
come.

IN 1929 the number of Amer-
icans employed in the produc-
tion of goods topped the number
employed in the production of
services by a towering 27.5 mil-
lion to 18 6 million. By 1963
the picture was strikingly up-
side-down — with the number
employed in services towering
over the number employed in
goods by 37.9 million to 31.4 mil-
lion.
All of the net growth of em-
ployment in the U.S. in the
postwar period has occurred in
services. A dramatic illustration
is that just the rise in employ-
ment in education between 1950
and 1960 was greater than to-
tal employment in primary
metal industries in either year.
To elaborate on the three im-
plications:
(1) Many occupations in the
service sector make no special
demands for physical strength,
permitting women to compete
on more equal terms with men.
Women hold 46 per cent of all
jobs in services as against only
19 per cent of all jobs in goods.
Older workers also can com-
pete more equally with young
workers because of this ispect.
(2) Employment in services
is far less sensitive to changes
in business conditions than
employment in goods, and this
is tending to stabilize employ-
ment generally in our economy.
As Fuchs remarks, “Output
in services cannot be stored.”
and thus there are not the vio-
lent swings in inventory invest-
ment which occur in goods. For
many services, your demand .
remains constant through busi-
ness upturns and downturns.
There are large numbers of
self-employed in services and
their employment is insensitive
to overall business changes. Be-
cause the role of salaries work-
ers is much larger in services
than in goods and the costs of
hiring these service workers
are greater, employers hesitate
to dismiss them in recessions
which are expected to be short-
lived. The jobless rate in goods
averaged 5 8 per cent between
1948 and 1963, but in services
the jobless rate averaged only
3.8 per cent. The jobless rate in
goods in the 1958 recession soar-
ed to 9.2 per cent, but in serv-
ices it went up to only 4 9 per
cent.
