Britain Reduces
Interest to 5H%

LONDON, Oct. q (AP).-
Britain today cut the govern
ment'S bank interest rate from
6 per cent to 5la per cent in
an effort to stimulate faltering
industry.
The bank rate had been
raised from 5 to 6 per cent
or June %, the second increase
of. the year. It had been in
creased from 4 to S per cent on
January .2l to stem a splurge
Of inStallment buying. Sales of
consumer goods dropped dras-
tically, especially of cars.
The new rate, which fixes the
interest for all commercial
transactions, will make install
ment buying slightly easier and
so give a FLIP to sales.
The Bank of England rate
sets the interest pattern for
all British lending institutions.
A Bank of England spokes-
man said the reduction does
not implny any change in the
policy of credit restriction.

West Warns
Reds on Berlin
irCorridors

LONDON. Oct. 27 (AP).-The
Big Three Western powers
warned the Soviet Union in
notes published today to avoid
tampering with the air corridors
to isolated West Berlin.
Britain, France aud the
United States told the Kremlin
in identical notes that any re-
strictions on the air corridors
would create q dangerous
situation"
The Western powers denied
a Soviet contention that the air
corridor rights could only be
used by the American, French
and British garrisons In West
Berlin and not for the benefit
of the 2A million Germans liv-
ing in that outpost Of democ-
racy.
FOuF-POWeF Status Cited
The Western notes also said
the Soviet Union has no right
on its own responsibility to pull
out of the postwar agreements
establishing the special four
power status Of Berlin.
United States, British and
French governments declared
too that the Communist East
German regime has no right to
place restrictions on the move
mept Of people between East
and West Berlin.
An East German decree is
sued on September 8 sought
to do just that. This decree
touched of an exchange Of
notes between Washington,
London, Paris and Moscow.
Soviet Text Unannounced
A Western note handed to
the Soviet Foreign Ministry
September IL drew a response
from the Russians later that
month. The latest Western
note was delivered in Moscow
yesterday. g.
Both Western notes were
made public today In the West
ern capitals. The text of the
Soviet note still has not been
announced, but its general
lines are known.
The Russians challenged the
four-power status established
in Berlin following the collapse
Of Hitler's reich. They also de-
clined to accept protests about
the actions of East German
ofacials on the ground that
East Germany enjoys full
sovereignty over East Berlin.
The Russians also sought to
establish the principle Of a
limited use Of the allied air
corridors linking West Berlin
with West Germany, 10 miles
away.
The Western powers denied
all these Soviet points.
Regarding movements be.
tween East and West Berlin,

istration's farm policies.
From the primary results
starting with New Hampshire
March 8 vote and including
Wisconsin as well as those In
the past month Mr.. Klein made
these observations:
/. The Vice President has
polled over a million more votes
than Senator Kennedy Of Mas
sachusetts whose sweeping West
Virginia victory. Mr.. Nixon was
said to feel, makes him the Ia
vorite for the Democratic presi-
dental nomination. The total
compiled by the Vice Presi-
dents Office gave Mr.. Nixon g..
$50 900 votes to Senator Ken
nedy's 1,477.000, including what
he obtained in West Virginia
where Mr., Nixon was not en-
tered and received no write
in votes

some write-in votes for Gov.
Rockefeller, Senator Gold
water and others. no opposi-
ton of any size has turned UP
against Mr.. Nixon for the Re-
publican presidential nomina-
ton.

proposed a mythical Joe

tial nomination at the 1856

his bid for the Republican gu
bernatorial nomination and

prestige is about the same as
IA school teachers here"
DR.. Shimkin said one Of the
reasons rs per cent Of Soviet
doctors are women is that med
icine is a low-paying profession
in Russia. and not considered
as important as engineering,
where men predominate.
Assigned by State
All Russian students enter
medical school directly from
high school, and it takes six
years to get a degree. After
graduation, a student is as
signed by the state to his place
of work for the next three
years. This assignment is often
to an outlying area Of the
country.
"As you can imagine, the
morale of a student from Mos
COW is not always high when
he is sent to Siberia" DR.. Leb-
ensohn said. They'll do any
thing to get out Of a particu-
larly bad assignment"
DR.. Shimkin said that in So
Wet society, pull" often is
quite important. IF you know
someone up high, you don't
have to worry about your as
signment."
But both doctors Joined DR.,
Mazique in praising the free
tuition Of Soviet education.
"One of the reasons the Rus
Evening star., 1960-10-02

slams don't have to worry about
getting medical students as we
do" DR.. Shimkin said, "is that
the only road UP is through
education and there are no side
roads. Here, a student must
face at least % years of school,
ing to be a doctor, and have
about $4,000. No wonder other
fields often attract him away
from medicine"
About preventive medicine: I:
Because everything is so CEN
tralized in Soviet Union," DR..
Lebensohn said, authorities
can immunize an area virtually
overnight. In this respect, So
Wet medicine is similar to a
military system"
"In the Soviet Union," DR..
Shimkin said, there is no need
to force people to take shots.
1t would be unthinkable for a
Russian to refuse a shot If
everyone else was getting one.
1t is a different kind of think
ing from what we are used to"
About the quality of doctors:
Both doctors feel that the Rus
sian top men are easily the
equals Of American specialists,
but that there are more high
quality men in America.
Their best is as good as our
best" DR.. Shimkin said, but
