$4,000 Doctors Urged
AS 1975GooI for South

BALTIMORE, Aug. 4 (AP).-
The South, Ito simply catch up
with the 1859 national aver
age" would have to add 49,
600 doctors during the next IS
years, legislators from 16 States
were told today.
This goal of $4,000 doctors
for the South by 1875 is not
unreasonable" DR.. Winfred L.
Goodwin, associate director of
the Southern Regional Educa-
ton Board said.
DR.. Goodwin had prepared
a summary of a study of med
ical manpower in the South
for delivering at the ninth an
nual legislative work confer
ence of the board.
He told the legislators and
educators the South had last
year about $4,000 doctors, or
l0l for every 100000 persons.
The national ratio was 129 per
100000.
Historically, the South has
been the section poorest sup

said. even though the regions

ton has been increasing slight

service of great magnitude if
this survey becomes the first
step in eliminating such prac-
tees"
Steady Loss Reported
Before the Medical Faculty
dropped its bombshell, Mr..
Dabney testified that the two
medical plans are losing money
steadily in Maryland and are
"in business today only be-
cause we are living OF our re-

Mr.. Dabney told Commits
sioner Sears that Blue Cross
has lost more than 100000

$1S0.000 since the start of the
year.

there were only $50 students.
This fall, for the first time,
the school will be open to any
youngsters in the city who
otherwise would be attending
their local, overcrowded junior
highs.
Despite what it has done to
his once-thriving school, Mr.
Smith has no ill-feeling to-
wards the redevelopment pro-
gram.
I'm perfectly reconciled to
it," he said. 1--WE all felt South
west needed it,"
He Plans to Travel
His only plans for the fu-
ture, according to Mr.. Smith,
who refused to let photogra-
pliers take his picture for the
retirement announcement, are
to do extensive travelling. This
fall he will visit the Orient.
The school board today also
announced the retirements of
Miss Edith M. Williams as
principal of Raymond Elemen-
tary School; Miss Ethel Bray
as supervising director of the
Art Department and Miss Sue
Brett as supervising director OF
the English curriculum.
Miss Williams, who retired
on disability, was at the center
of a major controversy last fall
involving relationships between
school and PTA officials. The
controversy was touched off by
her disagreements with the
local PTA president which LED

tional average" he reported.
At the current rate of supply,
DR.. Goodwin said, the number of
doctors in the region in 1875
will be 72.S00, which he termed
an admittedly unsatisfactory
position.
He listed three major ways to
increase the number of physi-
cians-addition of four-year-
medical schools, maximum use
of current capacity and ex-
pansion of existing schools.
Texas, he said, is the only
State contemplating a new pub
lie medical school. 1T does not
seem likely that many more
four-year schools will be estab-
lished in Southern States in the
foreseeable future" he added.
Delaware is the only State
without at least one medical
school.

politan areas growth to the
year 1000. Most other planning
agencies, Mr.. Kraft said, are
only looking ahead to 1870 or
1880.
He said the combined popu-
lation of Montgomery and
Prince Georges Counties could
reach 81 million by 1000. This
would be about three times the
present figure, Mr.. Kraft noted.
He estimated that Montgom-
cry County's population could
reach 100000 and Prince
Georges County could increase
its total to IL million.

Other estimates include Fair
fax County, 885, 900; Arlington,
220, 900, and Alexandria, 100, 900.
Mr.. Kraft. noting the possible
increases forecast for riverside
areas of Montgomery County,
said the growth might not come
about if the county decides to
block it.
Arthur K. Stellhorn, planning
director for the Maryland
National Capital Park and

had doubts about the validity
of the regional planners growth
estimates.
Il feel unprepared to argue
that these figures are either too
high or too low," he said, noting
that there was only "skimpy"

casts upon.

growth was predicted in some
areas Of the county where resi-
dents hoped to avoid much

z Men, Woman
Found Guilty for
Girls Nude Poses

An all-male jury has found
two men and a young woman
guilty of contributing to the
delinquency of a 16-year-old
girl who said she posed in the
nude at a photograph taking
session with them.
Juvenile Court Judge Orm w.
Ketcham yesterday postponed
sentencing until September /
for William E. Finnerty, 80,
and William w. Wieland, 81,
both of the 1000 block of Ar
lington boulevard, Arlington,
and Miss Deanna Comito, %,
of the $500 block of Porter
street NV.
The girl testified that she
met Finnerty while taking
courses at Washington model
ing agency where he worked as
a counselor. Assistant Corpora
tion Counsel Marvin E. Schneck
said.
She said she went to Fin
nerty's former Georgetown
apartment on May % and
posed for several pictures,
some of them in the nude, Mr..
Schneck said.
Wieland also took some pho
tographs of her and Miss Co.
mito posed with her, the girl
claimed.
The Government produced
three pictures-all head and
shoulder shots as exhibits
during the three-day trial.
All three defendants denied
the girls charge. They were all
present in Finnerty's apartment
but no lewd photographs were
taken, Mark B. Sandground,
the defense attorney, argued.
Mr.. Sandground said he
would appeal the jury's de-
cision. He said there was no
corroboration of the girls
testimony.

gomery County that border the
Potomac River.
He said the estimate was
based on a projection of
present growth trends and was
not necessarily what planners
might later recommend for the
various area.
The watersheds and their
projected populations are Sem

10000 residents; Watts Branch,

Commission Takes No Action
Mr.. Kraft said the regional
planners had prepared the es-
Inmates at the request of the
Regional Sanitary Board of the
Washington Metropolitan Re-
gional Conference.
He asked the Maryland-Na-
tional Capital Park and Plan
ming Commission to approve
the population projections. The
commission took no action on
the request.
Mr.. Kraft said the Sanitary
Board needs the information to
decide how big the interceptor

Many HospitoIized NeedIessIy, s s
Doctors Say at Blue Cross HEARING

BALTIMORE, Aug. 4 (AP).
"A report from Maryland doc
tors says some of their men,
bers hospitalize patients unnec-
essarily and sometimes for the
convenience of the doctors.
The report was submitted at
a hearing yesterday before
State Insurance Commissioner
F. Douglass Sears on a Blue
Cross and Blue Shield request
that rates be raised as much as
1874 per cent.
The survey was read into the
record at a hearing before the
commissioner by DR.. William
Carl Ebeling, secretary of the
Medical and Chirurgical Fac
ulty of Maryland.
Summary Presented
The preliminary summary of
a survey prepared for the med
ical group by the Opinion Re-
search Corp. Of Princeton. N. j.,
involved a poll of 222 Maryland
physicians. The results showed:
1. Seventy-seven per cent of
the doctors feel hospital facil-
tiles are used in an uneconom-
ical or unnecessary manner.
2. Seventy-f1ve per cent said
some physicians hoSpitalize pa
tients who do not require hos
pitalization.
8. Sixty-one per cent said
there is unnecessary and pro-
longed disqualification.
4. Fifty-eight per cent said
there are admissions for the
physicians convenience only.
Blue Cross officials termed
the report IAN astonishing in
stance of self-indictment."
State Study Called For
Reginald H. Dabney, execu-
tive director Of Blue Gross, i'm
mediately called for the State
Insurance Department to meet
with the medical faculty at the
earliest possible moment to ex-
anime the results of the study.
Mr.. Dabney said implications
Of the survey are most seri-
ous." not only to Blue Cross
and the commercial insurance
companies but to the entire
community.
IF, as the survey suggests,
some physicians admit that
they have prescribed hospital
care when it was not necessary,
the survey amounts to an as
tonishing instance of self
indictment.
-For If Blue Cross has paid
for such care, it can only be
because the information pro-
vided by the physician in such

In an effort to solve the Glen
Echo dispute, the Montgomery

Racial Problems formulated a
new plan last night.
While Mrs. Ann Brown, COM

were indications it might in
clude private talks with the
Glen Echo owners.
The owners, Samuel and
Abram Baker, earlier turned
down an invitation from the
commission to attend its public
session last night.
An attorney for. the owners
said such a meeting would be
"imprudent" in view of pend
ing court cases involving park
guards.
New Approach Worked Out
The commission went into a
1K2-hour closed session after
Douglas B. Sands, executive
secretary of the States COM
mission on inter- racial prob
lens, suggested the county
group hold private talks with
the park owners.
After the meeting, Mrs.
Brown would say only that a
new approach to the situation
had been worked out that could
not be revealed because it
might jeopardize our overall
plan"
Earlier, Mr.. Henry and
Andrew Bennett, another leader
of anti-segregation demonstra-
tions, announced formation of
the Capital Area Committee for
Equality.
Mr.. Bennett said the group,
made up of representatives of
