The mass - circulation Daily Express says the association, which governs the behavior of British doctors, stepped into the controversy over the publica- tion of the memoirs of Church- ill's doctor, Lord Moran, by is- suing a new ethical rule. The newspaper says the new rule asked doctors to refrain from revealing details about a dead patient without the consent of close relatives. Churchill's son Randolph claimed Wednesday. that the publication of Lord Moran's diaries disclosing his 25-year Oath fensive to the widow. Serialization of Lord Moran's memoirs on the subject began two weeks ago in The Sunday Times. Doctors have accused Lord Moran of breaking the hippo- cratic oath--the medical moral code--and violating the interna- tional medical ruiing on profes- sional secrecy. Lord Moran claimed he told Churchill of his intention to write a book about him and statesman's that the code of secrecy would | not apply to such @ historic fig- ure.

He told the Empire Club the federal budget not only failed to introduce measures to encour- age expanded production but by introducing a special five-per- cent refundable tax, it limited industrial expansion. Text of his address was re- leased in advance. The government had to do this "because there are not enough skilled workers in the country to carry out expanded produc- tion." As unemployment decreased, workers were-in short supply in recent years. It had become more and more obvious that the program to train additional skilled labor was inadequate.
