DIR. Mckinley Blames
Politics For Lack of
Dentists In Alaska

A bitter blast at "disgraceful"
tactics employed by segments of
the territorial dental profession
was leveled recently by DR.. Lee
Mckinley, Anchorage dentist and
territorial legislator.
DR.. Mckinley, who last winter
locked horns with the former ter
ritorial dental examining board,
and who was Influential in the
creation of a new board, charged
the newly created Alaska Dental
Examiners Board with ''using pol
itics to keep dentistry out Of the
territory.
''The peoples health is being
played WITH" DR.. Mckinley de-
clared in connection with recent
dental examinations in which only
four of 10 dental applicants were
admitted for practice in Alaska.
At present, DR.. Mckinley said,
there are about 40 dentists in the
territory about one to each
5000 population. The national av-
erage is about one to $500. The
freshman legislator said the pres
ent number Of dentists in the ter
ritory should be. doubled.
The appointment of the new
dental board has served merely
as a rubber stamp for the old
board, Dr.. Mckinley charged. He
described the boards action as
an effort to "bar the doors" to
dentistry, thereby creating an car
tificial scarcity"
According to the new law
which was enacted by the last
legislature, reciprocal privileges
are granted dentists moving in
from the states which recognize
Alaska dental licenses. However,
the privilege is confined to "den-
tai theory" and incoming dentists
must be examined on practical
demonstration"
The law states that an appli-
cant receiving a grade Of rs per-
cent on the examination shall be
registered by the board.

months between life and death.
Then on March II came his goth
and most crucial operation.
Surgeons succeeded in covering
his exposed brain with skin
gratis.
The danger of fatal brain in
lection was gone. The boy en-
tered a new phase Of life.
Rodney developed a sort of
left-side paralysis after the oper-
alton. This condition has i'm
proved considerably with the aid
of physical and. occupational
therapy.
The 20-month-old boy faces
still more major surgery in a few
months when doctors build a
hard skull top of bone, plastic
or metal to be inserted under
the skin on his head. This will
have to be replaced as he grows
older and his head becomes
larger.
Deep Scars Will Fade.
When the top is in place,
Rodney will have the physical
equipment for a reasonably
normal life. He has hair on the
front half of his head trans
planted from above his ears.
There are deep scars along the
sides Of his head. Doctors say
these will fade in time.
Rodney likes music, crawls,
plays with toys and a jabbers a
few words to doctors. nurses and
playmates in his ward at the
Illinois Neuropsychiatric In
Stitute.
Doctors describe him as rea-
Sonably bright, good natured
and in fairly good general
health. But they say it is too
early to determine whether he is
completely normal mentally.
Whether the brain surgery
has caused damage to vital CEN
ters or the ordeal Of repeated
operations has left scars on the
subconscious are questions that
cannot yet be answered. So far
doctors say they have found no
evidence of mental impairment.

A special Pentagon committee
which studied continental de-
tense problems. concluded today
that the Nations present air de-
tense system should be improved
but that ''in the light of stern
facts there can be no safety in
the atomic age short of the
elimination Of war"
The committee, headed by M.
J. Kelly, president Of Bell Tele-
phone Laboratories, noted that
the Soviet Union 'is militarily
capable today Of a surprise at
tack on the United States which
could cause large loss Of life and
major property damage and pos
sibly temporarily lessen the Ca
pability Of the United States to
support a major war effort"
The Defense Department did
not release the full committee
report but made available a sum-
mary of its findings. At the
same time a spokesman also
made available a summary of
the Eisenhower military budget
which stated that there would
be no change in the number Of
interceptor wings and no reduc-
ton in the budgeting Of q radar
networks nor in the number of
anti-aircraft battalionS.
Released Unexpectedly.
The report was released un-
expectedly three hours before
Gen. Hoyt s. Vandenberg, Air
Force Chief of Staff, was sched-
uled to oppose publicly the cuts
on military spending which have
been proposed by the Eisenhower
administration.
emphasizing that all military
measures must be assayed not
only as to their value in the
event of war but also in their
value in deterring war, the COM
mittee pointed up the import
ance Of a continued development
Of a powerful United States
atomic offensive capability rea-
sonably invulnerable to initial
attack, as a vital, major part of
the overall defense system" the
Defense Department announced.
The Pentagon said the COM
mlttee expressed concern about
the recent public advocacy Of a
program which would purported-
ly give nearly perfect protection
against an attack"
