A. A.'s Country-wide News Circuit

Group psychotherapy used by A.A. was demonstrated by a Syracuse, N. Y., physician before the upstate inter-hospital conference held recently in Syracuse Psychopathic hospital, according to The Post-Standard of that city. The program urged creation of a hospital for alcoholics. In an editorial, "Problem for the State," another newspaper, The Herald-Journal, praised the work of A.A. in an editorial stressing the need of some constructive action. Members of both the Eastwood and Central Groups were speakers at the conference and were swamped with questions by interested doctors, one of whom said that A.A. therapy went far ahead of them on the road to proper treatment. Professional and business clubs of Syracuse are taking a keen interest, having invited A.A. speakers to future sessions. A radio program is being worked out for early presentation.
