Some of these facts came to light this week in a speech by Dr. Howard MiQuarrie, president of the Utah State Medical Association, to the Assoeiated Press convention at Sweetwater on Bear Lake. USMA this week also approved a plan to avert a state malpractice crisis in the near future at a meeting of the House of Delegates. The plan calls for a legislative paatage to reduce the impact of malpractice suits, and an education program designed to acquaint both the public and doctors with the malpractice suit problem.

Lib leaders of was One the American Women's quoted as saying that having men involved in the Mexico City meeting was like having Hitler appear in a commemorative program called by the survivors of Auschwitz. I find it difficult to believe that this comment was accurately reported or, if so, that it was seriously intended. Even so, the attitude of some of the Women's Lib leaders about the event in Mexico City is an unfortunate reflection of what may be a tragic and possibly fatal flaw in Women's Lib. The flaw is that these leaders use hate and contempt for men as a weapon. Men ' are regarded as the enemy. The natural consequence of this approach is to create a stage for building a dangerous wall between the sexes. This whole emphasis smacks very much of the attitude of some militant blacks during the '60s. The struggle for racial justice could not be achieved without the support of a substantial part of the white community. Yet some black militants made no distinction, between those whites who stood in the way of full and equal rights for all Americans and those whites who would genuinely . For years the Laotian cabinet had been a delicately balanced coalition of leftists, rightists and "neutralists," kept glued together by neutralist Prime Tifinister Prince Souvanna Phomna. Shortly after Saigon fell, though, Pathet Lao (as one European diplomat describes them) began demonstrating in Vientiane for the removal of rightist members of the cabinet. Mort of them got the message very quickly and took off for Thailand. Since the emigres were mostly generals and represented whatever military leadership the right wing had, the Pathet Lao rushed in to fill the vacuum. Its army, with North Vietnamese into it (right down to the company level), made a show of strength to intimidate hitherto rightist towns in southern Laos and the bloodless takeover was, indeed, over. - , The street demonstrators, meanwhile, stormed the MD offices in Vientiane, occupy- ing them and taking hostages.

Some of the extreme militants are trying to make it appear that the entire male species is engaged in a conspiracy to subjugate all women. This is utter nonsense and it can only result in setting back one of the greatest causes in history. . As speaker after speaker emphasized at the Mexico City conference, half the human race has been victimized by a number of forms of discrimination. At long last, however, genuine gains are being registered on every front throughout a large part of the world.

We often disagree with the senator. So it is a pleasure to commend him for his work in Congress aimed at loosening the stranglehold of government regulation on America's airlines. Kennedy is chairman of the Senate subcommittee on administrative practice and procedure. Under his direction. that body has been inquiring into practices of the Civil Aeronautics Board. Preliminary reports indicate the 'subcommittee is critical of the CAB for stifling competition between airlines, thus raising costs to passengers. All interstate air fares are set by the CAB.

By 1980, he says, that ratio will increase to one of every two doctors. What are the causes? For one thing, TV shows which portray the physician as being capable of almost magleal cures. Newspapers also report on highly advanced medical science; heightening the public's expectation of cure from a wide range of ailments. Another signiicanacor is a d'ecline in the patient-tkct- u relation- ship in an age of specialization. Years ago, the general practitioner not only delivered you into the world, but teak out your tonsils, diagnosed your scarlet fever, and comforted you when there wasn't much else medical sci' ence could do at the time. Who would think of suing such a splendid example 9f humanity? With the age of specialization, that closeness is gone, and patients are less reluctant to sue a comparative stranger.
