No Easy Guidelines
When Should Doctor Let Patient Die?
By CHARLES S. TAYLOR JR.
United Press International
ATLANTA (UPI) —When
should a doctor “pull the plug”
and allow a hopelessly diseased
patient to die?
There are no easy guidelines
for physicians to follow to reach
such an agonizing decision, ac
cording to Dr. Irvine H. Page
of the research division of the
Cleveland, Ohio, Clinic.
His own decision, he told a
seminar of southern journalists
Tuesday, would be to “allow
nature to take its course” when
a person “is hopelessly dam
aged.”

physician colleagues do not a-

WASHINGTON (UPI) —Five
Congressmen, one of them a
lame duck, circled the globe
last year at a cost of more than
$18,000 to try to find out why
some Americans were losing
their jobs.
This jaunt, a month-long
affair by a House Education
and Labor Subcommittee, took
place after last fall’s election
and won the mythical junke
teers’ palm as the most
extensive for a House group in
1966.
The mundane details of cost
and authority for this trip and
others taken last year were

This was one of the moral di

Travel Costs
The figures showed that about
150 members and staff em

Not included were the uncount

Page was the principal speak

“I believe that a person
should be allowed to die with a
certain dignity,” Page said.
“And I think most patients
should be allowed to die at

Death, he added, should be
regarded as a natural process
and it should be allowed to

Draft Deferment
""TANGE, Ga. (UPI) —
Honor student Dennis Traylor
doesn’t have to worry anymore
about being drafted just be
cause he is attending two col
leges at the same time.
B.A. Evans, chairman of the
local draft board, said today
that the 23-year-old Traylor will
be given “ample time to finish
his courses.”
Traylor had been notified by
the board that he could not re
ceive a 2S (Student) classifica
tion because he was not en
rolled full-time at either college.
Traylor, a last quarter senior
in chemistry, has been taking
two courses at LaGrange Col
lege and then racing into Ala
bama each day for another
course at Auburn University..
“We told him to go ahead
and go back to school,” Evans
said. “We couldn’t reclassify
aim as 25 at this time, but we
told him even if he got to be
a 1A the board will let him fin
ish his course.”

Traylor’s predicament had
touched off a howl at LaGrange
College.
“This is an outstanding stu
dent,” an official said. “The
science faculty down here is un
derstandably upset over what is
happening to Dennis.”
Traylor, who has been work
ing his way through school, has
been awarded a $2,800 scholar
ship for graduate studies at the
University of North Carolina.
His mother works in a textile
mill since his father was forced
into retirement by a serious ill

During the spring quarter, he

ST. MARY’S, Ga. (UP* —
The sagging shrimp and fish in
dustry on Georgia’s coast will
be studied by a legislative com
mittee, Rep. Robert Harrison of
St. Mary’s said Tuesday.
Harrison said the committee
will study six ocean-bordering
counties and determine what
laws could preserve the shrimp
and fish population In the in

mer^al market.
He said Speaker George Ii.
Smith would appoint the House
committee which will determine
if Georgia sounds should be
closed to commercial shrimping
during spawning.
Harrison said many commer

area for Texas and other gulf
port areas where the take Is
better.
