Pentagon Eyes 8 to 1 Edge in Viet Nam Troop Plan

Doctors oppose selling prescribed eyeglasses sales
A South Carolina eye doctor Dr Christopher Wood and a North Carolina optician J R Johnson testified before the Senate Antitrust and Monopoly subcommittee opposing doctors selling items they prescribe. Wood urged laws to ban the practice, saying it harms patients and shows physician avarice. Johnson warned that a doctor who keeps patients from shopping around changes the dynamic. The testimony cites ophthalmologists selling eyeglasses and prescriptions as a broader issue in medicine.

The Athanasiadis Novas government mobilized troops to protect utilities and ordered workers in key services to stay on the job under threat of legal charges.

The National Governors Conference rejected a bid to empower its executive committee to propose resolutions. Tim Babcock and William Scranton led the push, but the motion failed 33 to 13, falling short of the required three fourths. Southern governors opposed, Republicans supported.
