Thundered the New York Herald Tribune: "By any standards of common sense the suggestion that Werner Schroeder should succeed Joseph W. Martin . . . would be too preposterous to deserve comment. But the sort of isolationist stupidity which is central over Chicago could not exist if it were not itself isolated from reason. . . . [Schroeder] was still making isolationist speeches just before last week's election. Such a stand . . . makes the suggestion of his name an insult to sound Republicanism. ...

Medical charlatans have existed since the beginning of history and doubtless will always exist; even Hippocrates had his contention with the school at Cnidus. There is nothing unique about a man's being able to perform major surgery without basic training in anatomy, physiology and pathology. As a Navy Hospital Corpsman, I assisted at surgery and could have done a neat appendectomy many years before I was licensed as a physician...
