...physicians hand out too many barbiturates? Doctors prescribe from 3 Dillon to 4 billion doses each year and there are estimated to be at least 50,000 confirmed addicts besides a host of habitual users. Two Washington, B.C. researchers polled colleagues, reported in Postgraduate Medicine: 1) most uses of barbiturates are necessary or at least legitimate; 2) unjustified prescriptions (tor routine sedation or mild insomnia) do not occur often enough to justify new control legislation; 3) most doctors are eager to get rid of barbiturates, "are waiting only for the advancement of medical knowledge and the growth of psychiatric facilities...
...president, the N.A.M. picked Henry G. Riter III, 62, president of Thomas A. Edison Inc., of West Orange, N.J; A graduate of Philadelphia's Germantown Academy, Riter joined Wall Street's Dillon, Read & Co. in 1919, became a member of the firm in 1927, and left during the Depression to start Riter & Co. While doing some financial work for Edison, he became interested in expanding the company, which was formed to produce the famed inventor's products.

Actually Noonan became a fixture at Dillon purely by chance. After graduating from Rindge Technical School in Cambridge, where he played football, hockey and baseball, he went to work for a Boston doctor. "I used to come over to watch a friend play at Harvard in those days," he recalls. "At the time there was an opening for a trainer. My friend finally persuaded me to apply, and here I am." From this rather humble beginning as a trainer with no experience and little knowledge, Eddie Noonan has risen to the presidency of the Eastern division of the College Trainers...
...exceptional athletes. He particularly remembers All-East end Loren MacKinney '42, who was involved in one of the greatest hoaxes over perpetrated on ale. In the Brown game in his junior year, MacKinney suffered a leg injury, making him a doubtful participant in the Yale contest. The trainers at Dillon worked overtime to enable him to play, but he appeared in New Haven on crutches the day before the game. The crutches were a clever device of Coach Dick Harlow to fool Yale, however, for MacKinney was physically fit and instrumental in the 28-0 rout of the Elis...
