...Cincinnati's Dr. Arthur G. King, an obstetrician with an eye for Labor Department statistics, sharply disagrees with the complaint that doctors' bills are out of control. Compared to the other costs, he argued last week in Medical Economics, medical expenses have actually dropped. Back in 1936, as Dr. King figures it, an electrician had to work 2½ hours to pay for a physician's daytime house call. In 1956 it took him only 1½ hours.

Instead, he promised...
Lawyer Taft's explanation was that his taciturn tactics were aimed not at O'Neill but at Hamilton County G.O.P. regulars with whom he has intermittently sparred since a Taft-led 1924 reform government took over Cincinnati, with reform-minded Charlie Taft later becoming county attorney. When Taft filed for governor, the county organization ordered a rousing anti-Taft vote "to show what Hamilton County Republicans really think of Charles P. Taft." To show what he really thought of the organization and presumably to protect his prestige in future elections, seven-term Councilman and Mayor (1955-57) Taft...
