Scandal
Revelations of fake medical diplomas in the Middle West (TIME, Nov. 5) have reverberated in Connecticut, where Governor Charles A. Templeton called an extraordinary grand jury to look into the status of 200 Connecticut physicians, and in a public address foreshadowed "the greatest scandal in the history of the state." Connecticut is one of the few states (TIME, July 16) which have multiple medical examining boards with power to license practitioners of their respective "pathies." Eclectics, osteopaths, chiropractors, naturopaths, etc., will come under the investigation. The exposures already involve members of the Eclectic State Board.
