Millionaire SHORTAGE
Hits Medical Schools,
ANA Council Told
by the Asseeiatsd Press


CHICAGO, Feb. "a national
shortage OF multimillionaires is hit
ting many private American medi-
cal schools where it hurts-in en-
dowments. -
Or. Alan Valentine, president of
the University of Rochester, made
this point today before the Council
on Medical Education of the Ameri-
can Medical Association. 3
Tax laws, he said, are hampering
the accumulation OF new large es-
tates. Taxes also are crimping the
help from phiIanthropic and educa-
tional foundations, he added.
DR.. Valentine declared that Fed
eral and State aid, if provided, offers
dangers to free education and re-
search" Income from students
meets only a small percentage of
the costs" Research grants from
industry are usually $50 limited in
duration, so specific lin objectiyes
and so uncertain Of renewal that
they DO thttle or nothing" to relieve
general expense.
Tne medical schools would have
no financial problem, he said, if
they got about $40, ,oo0, 600 more each
year.
This, he added, is about one-fifth
the sum Americans spending an
nually for vitamin pills.
DR.. Valentine sounded one cheer
full note, however, asserting there
probably still are more muItimil-
ionaires than is generally known" :"
They must be found" he said.
They must be reached They must
be educated to giving largely to
medical education"

Mr.. Stengle explained that the

ment salary was 5000 as of July

Thus 1t is believed" Mr.. Stengle
fsaid that an $500 increase will be
fair to all employees since it has been
estimated on the basis Of the average
of the whole group"
He said the figure was arrived at
by the AFGE as one that could
be substantiated factually as the
amount that would provide rea-
sonable addition to existing pay
rates to bring them to cost OF liv-
ing basis"
He told the committee that 'it Is
reasonable to expect that if meas
ures are taken to control the up
ward advance of prices, they will not
halt 1t completely nor will prices
drop appreciably below the present
level for some time" He added
that even should price increases be
controlled, Government employees
will still "have buying power far
below that of prewar days"
Calls Stand Harmful to Worker
He told the committee the AFGE
believes the basic pay rates should
be raised at once to provide IAN
amount that will represent a mini
mum need for months to come"
Senator LANCER, in objecting to
Mr.. Stengle's statement, said that
such an increase as the $500 figure
actually would result in the average

gested that this agency then lend
recovery funds to individuals and
subdivisions Of foreign govern
ments.
Mr.. Truman has said that actual
treasury payments to finance the
Marshall plan in the first Is months
will be $4,000 ,000, 900.
All but $500 900, 900 of this falls

Republicans may find it difficult to

With this in mind, there has been
talk among some Republicans Of

to pay over to 1t before July what

Mdrzani Conviction

The Supreme Court yesterday
agreed to review the conviction OF
Carl A. Marzani, former State De-
partment employe, who was fund
guilty in District Court last winter
of falsely telling his employers that
he never belonged to the COM
munist Party.
Adjournment of the court for the
summer recess, however, will delay
arguments on the appeal until oc-
tober at the earliest.
Marzani was sentenced to from
one to three years, after being found
guilty in District Court on II counts
Icharging that he gave fraudulent
and false statements to Federal
agencies.
The United States Court of Ap-
peals here last February held that
nine of the II counts were barred
by the statute of limitations, hut
1t ruled that the one-to-three-yeal
sentence would stand for the re.
manning two counts.
In his appeal to the Supreme
Court Marzani asserted the alleged
false statements were made in ar

investigation program. He slso de-
clared certain evidence was i'm.
