The social angles, the finan-

that come to those called upon
to perform abortions—as one of
the interns does—provide a lot
of action to the story.

Richard Frede, 26 - year - old
. newspaperman, has attained re-
markable results, in good writ-
ing and medical research, with
his second novel, "The Interns,"
which has just been published
by Random House.
There are a number of very
valuable aspects to this novel.
Its major achievement is the
description of the difficulties
that are encountered by gradu-
ates from medical schools in
their roles as interns. Then
there are the problems that be-
set hospitals.

There is a real challenge
in the case of one of the pa-
tients who suffers from the
silent disease of syringomy-
elia, who knows that he is
doomed to die, who wants
death to come quickly, so that
the meager funds should not
dwindle quickly, thus leav-
ing his wife without means
of sustenance.
He pleads for help to die and

the doctors argue with him.

if murder implies malice afore-

right to graduate as a nurse.
The upshot of it is the sum-
mary by one of the interns:

"Why are we doctors? . . .
Not because there are those
who need to be cured, but
because there are those who
CAN be cured."

And then this intern declares
that he "feels like a human be-

That is about all there is in
the entire book to the prejudice
issue. Even the Negro on the
staff of the hospital described
is accepted and treated well.
"The Interns" will be read
with great interest by practic-
ing physicians: it will remind
them of their own early diffi-
culties. It will give present-day
interns a better understanding
of their status: that's the lot of
the intern. It will enlighten
laymen about medicine, hospi-
tals and doctors. It will make
a great movie. P. S.
