Dear Dr. Lamb — I was
very interested in the letters
concerning plantar warts in
the paper.
For a number of years, 1
was plagued with them and
had every conceivable treat
ment for them. They were
cut out slowly, cut out
quickly, burned out with a
variety of acids, cauterized,
X-rayed (to the tune of $25
a treatment) and even ultra
sound was tried. After an
extensive surgical removal,
which kept me on crutches
and in and out of a hospital
for three months, they grew
back again. I was convinced
nothing short of amputation
would rid me of them. (I
had nightmares about get
ting plantar warts on my
stump!)
My husband was a medical
student at the time and
finally agreed to “search”
for a cure. He found it in
“The British Journal of
Dermatology, 1963,” It con

Corruption in OEO
Poor people have been ripped off
By JEFFREY ST. JOHN

NEW YORK - “One of the
most insidious parts of the
antipoverty program,” ob
served Robert Hawkins Jr.,
director of the California Of
fice of Economic Opportunity,
“is to make us think of poor
people as a class. The poor
have attitudes and aspirations
as varied as any group."
This refusal of liberal OEO
warriors to look at poor peo-

lanolin It was applied to the
wart for seven days, covered
and kept dry the entire time.
After seven days, I removed
the “plaster” and left it
alone. Three months later I
was completely free of
warts, and have been to this
day — nine years later.
We have since recom
mended it to others who had
other unsuccessful treat
ments, and it worked for
them too.
When I think of all the
money, time and pain that
was wasted on these other
treatments, I shudder. The
only problem I have now is
a very sensitive scar from
one of the surgical excisions.
Please pass this tip on to
other “victims” and derma
tologists alike. The entire
cost of this “miracle cure”
was one dollar!
Here’s hoping everyone
can be “plantar wart” free—
and painlessly so!

into scandal, corruption, and

states. “They’ve just been
ripped-off.”

cures for warts, and I am
glad to have yours. It is
included here so various
readers troubled with this
problem can try it or ask
their doctor if he wants to
try it.
I was interested to know
that many of the cures sug
gested included covering up
the wart in some type of seal
over a length of time. One
of the suggested cures was
to cover the wart with col
lodion for 10 days. Os course
there were numerous sug
gestions about the use of
liquid nitrogen which some
doctors use with success.
While some of the treat
ments that have been sug
gested are very good, I must
caution that some apparent
cures are the result of
spontaneous disappearance
of warts which can, and
sometimes does, occur.
Dear Dr. Lamb—The com
plicated procedures doctors
use to remove plantar warts
is a disgrace. My daughter
had these warts all over her
feet and they were removed
agency.
A recent federal court rul
ing in Washington sought to
stop the Nixon administration
from dismantling OEO, argu
ing that only the Congress has
the power to terminate it. This
judicial decision raises the
question, once again, of the
separation of powers between
the executive and legislative
branches of the federal gov
ernment. Not, however, in a
way many liberals contend.
Observe, for example, that
in and out of Congress those
fighting to keep OEO have
sought to use the courts, not
the Congress, to keep OEO in
tact. Most liberals realize that
the antipoverty agency is re
garded by many in Congress
with contempt and that they
are feeling the mounting pres
sure of public opinion over
what has come to be called
“The Welfare Racket.”
The recent inability, more
over, of congressional liberals
to muster sufficient votes to
override presidential vetoes
on a number of spending bills
is a clear index that liberals
cannot save OEO by congres
sional action if it came to a
showdown.
Thus, they sought via the
courts to prevent OEO’s dis
mantlement while crying
about the executive usurping
the power of the legislative!
In reality, the congressional
liberals are asking taxpayers
to condone and continue to
subsidize with their hard
earned money political radi
calism, mismanagement, in
efficiency and shocking waste
several times by our doctor
but always came back. Each
removal left big scars. Then
she got several on her face.
I read about a mixture
that sounds ridiculous but
we tried it and it works —
just a few drops of spirits
of camphor mixed with ordi
nary baking soda. I don’t
know why, but after three
days she had no more warts.
Please put this in your
newspaper articles and let
your readers decide for
themselves. Thank you.
Dear Reader — Okay. But
if it’s a wart on the face I’d
be happier if it was tried
under a doctor’s supervision,
if at all.

A large body of evidence is
at hand to prove that OEO is
corrupt and scandal-ridden.
Here are three more recent
examples:
— In early April the Gener
al Accounting Office, the con
gressional watchdog, re
ported that millions of dollars
of OEO have gone unac
counted for across the coun
try.
— The radical Indians who
have held Wounded Knee,
S.D., hostage first got their
start because of OEO funding.
Despite the fact that the
principal leaders of the mili
tant American Indian Move
ment (AIM) had long arrest
records, including violent as
saults, OEO gave AIM its
start and paid for the return
trip home of those AIM lead
ers who laid siege to the Bu
reau of Indian Affairs in
Washington, D.C., last year.
This enabled the AIM leaders
to lay siege, first to Custer,
S.D., and later Wounded
Knee.
— Federal officials are in
vestigating the alleged use of
OEO funds by a Long Island,
N.Y., antipoverty agency to
sponsor rallies in Washington
to protest the proposed White
House dismantling of the
agency! OEO money was al
legedly used to send some
3,000 demonstrators to Wash

past is any guide, the federal
probers will find that this was
