Boston medical experts dispute Dr John O Polak of Long Island College Hospital prediction that twilight sleep, a nearly painless childbirth method, will soon prevail in the United States despite recent advances.
Dr Polak praises the method after returning from Germany while Dr Newell and Dr Paine warn it remains dangerous and unsuitable for home use. They say expert supervision in hospitals is essential and new drugs may lessen risk but publicity could endanger mothers and babies.
Police continue a wide search for Edgar J. Beach alias William Thomas who escaped from the New Hampshire State Hospital on August 16. He is described as a criminal with a long larceny record and has served multiple terms at different facilities.
