properly they are usually
good for vision. Any form of
exercises need to be planned
for a specific goal. Your eyes
have a set of muscles at
tached to the eyeball that
enable them to move in all
those different directions, in
cluding rolling your eyes. If a
muscle is weak and it affects
your vision, the right exer
cises can strengthen it and
improve vision.
Now, let me point out that if
you do exercises that
strengthen the wrong muscle
and do not strengthen the
weak muscle, then you may
make matters worse. It is
similar to the problem of de
veloping muscles to hold your
shoulders back. If you do ex
ercises that strengthen the
muscles that pull your
shoulders forward the exer
cises will make matters
worse. So, exercise of the
body or the eyes must be done
properly to be helpful. It fol
lows a do-it-yourself project
without an examination and
the advice of your doctor
may be more harmful than
useful.
DEAR DR. LAMB - In one
of your columns you dealt
with the effect of inhaling
carbon monoxide pollution
created by smoking on non
smokers. Can you please ad
vise me where I can get a
pamphlet or information as
to who did this research? A
friend disbelieves the
validity of the harm it can do
to the nonsmoker.
DEAR READER - Glad to
oblige. A study on the blood
levels of carbon monoxide in
nonsmokers confined to a
room with smokers was car
ried out by researchers at St.
Bartholomew’s Hospital in
London. The report was pub-
Health care cost zooms
By CRAIG A. PALMER
WASHINGTON (UPI) - Re
cord-breaking increases in doc
tor bills and hospital costs are
making it very hard for the
poor and the aged to get by,
says Health, Education and
Welfare Secretary Caspar
Weinberger.
Since economic controls were
lifted April 30, physicians’ fees
have increased 19.1 per cent a
year and hospital charges 17.7
per cent, he said, while
HHH reports Chou is worse
By United Press International
Sen. Hubert H. Humphrey, D-
Minn., said in Peking today the
condition of Chinese Premier
Chou En-lai has worsened
during three months of hospital
ization for a heart ailment.
“But I don’t think you ought
to read into that report
anything such as that his
condition is critical,” Hum
phrey said in a telephone
interview with United Press
International.
Humphrey, a member of a
congressional delegation on a
10-day tour of China, said Vice
Premier Teng Hsiao Ping told
the group of the condition of
Chou, 76, a prime architect of
U.S.-China detente.
‘“lf he were not ill, the
premier would be happy to see
you,’” Humphrey quoted Teng
as saying. ‘“But he is not well
and is more ill now than at the
time of Sen. (Henry) Jackson’s
visit two months ago.’”
lished in Lancet, a British
medical journal, the last
week of March 1973. There
are also other studies that
show the level of carbon
monoxide in smoke-filled
rooms often exceeds the level
safe for industry.
In the United States, Mod
ern Medicine, a journal for
doctors, published the posi
tion of the American College
of Chest Physicians in its
December 25, 1972 issue. The
college believes the smoker
should be separated from the
non-smoker and has done so
for all its state and national
meetings. When the ventila
tion is not adequate, the
smoker is “banished” from
the meeting hall entirely.
In a statement of rights for
nonsmokers the college
stated:
“The American College of
Chest Physicians believes
that cigarette smoking not
only is hazardous to the
health of the individual who
inflation for the whole economy
was increasing 12.5 per cent.
“Even during the medical
cost inflation which followed
the introduction of Medicare
and Medicaid, increases in
doctor bills came nowhere near
the record-breaking rises we
see now,” Weinberger told the
American Association of Medi
cal Clinics Thursday.
Now, with national health
insurance legislation on the
horizon —although passage of a
bill appears unlikely this year
—continued price hikes threat
en doctors, hospitals and others
with new government controls,
Weinberger said.
“The danger is that substan
tial increases in the cost of
health care, such as those we
are now experiencing, could
lead to public demand to limit
the independence traditionally
accorded to providers of health
care and to broaden the extent
of federal intervention in the
operation of America’s health
care system,” he said.
Tough talk on health care
inflation is not new for
Weinberger. On May 3 he
warned leaders of major health
groups that they must control
their costs or the government
might be forced to do it for
them.
He said such “skyrocketing
inflation" threatened to ham
string health insurance pro
grams for the aged and the
poor, limit federal health
services for veterans, military
personnel, American Indians
and others served by Public
Health Service projects, and
erode cancer, heart and other
disease research.
Double Bubble
will double
TORONTO (UPI) - The
price of Double Bubble gum in
Canada will be increased by 100
per cent —two cents a piece
instead of one sent, Fleer, Ltd.,
said Thursday.
Fleer, a licensee of Fleer
Corp, in the United States,
where the price of Double
Bubble gum has been two cents
for about four months, blamed
soaring costs, principally for
sugar, for the price hike.
Humphrey said the Chinese
official “mentioned that Jack
son (D-Wash.) visited Chou in
the hospital but that is not
possible now because his
(Chou’s) condition has slightly
worsened.”
In an earlier interview with
the Mutual Broadcasting net
work, Humphrey said, “The
apparent candor with which the
vice premier spoke indicates he
(Chou) is quite ill.”
Rep. Barbara Jordan, D-Tex.,
another delegation member,
said two Communist party
officials were summoned from
a Thursday night banquet,
setting off speculation the
departure had something to do
with Chou’s condition.
In comments to Houston
radio station KPRC, she said
officials in Peking made it
clear U.S.-China ties would
remain intact no matter what
happens to Chou because “the
relationship is constant.”
smokes but also is hazardous
to the health of the individual
who does NOT smoke, but
who inhales the hazardous
constituents in the air pro
duced by the smoker.”
“The College believes that
the smoker, although main
taining his right to choose to
smoke, should consider his
obligation to society by not
infringing on the rights of the
nonsmoker."
In my opinion smoking
should be outlawed in all
public places and in all
public transportation. Surely
one of the basic rights of all
human beings is not to be
poisoned by the unnecessary
habits of others.

The New China News Agency,
in a broadcast monitored in
Hong Kong, said Chou missed a
meeting between Communist
party Chairman Mao Tse-tung
and Togo President Gnassingbe
Eyadema.
China watchers said it was
believed to be the first time
Chou skipped such a meeting.
Chou began his withdrawal
from frontline political and
administrative duties last April.
He was hospitalized in June
with a reported heart ailment,
but has received guests and left
the hospital to make public
appearances. In his last trip
from the hospital, he attended
an Army Day reception July 31.
Chou was one of the major
builders of Communist China.
He took over as premier after
the Communist takeover in
1949, assuming the job of
turning Chairman Mao’s revolu
tionary ideas into reality.
Chou, unlike many of his
Communist colleagues, was
reared to be a diplomat and
always has had a reputation for
knowing how to deal with
foreigners.
U.S. officials, including the
late Gen. George C. Marshall,
were impressed by him when
