WASHINGTON. d. C.-LABOR)

WASHINGTON, d. C-NABOR)
Grave shortages of doctors to meet
the health needs of the nation loom
ahead. That's pointed out in sum-
mary prepared by Editorial Research
Reports. Washington research serv-
ice for newspapers.
1t cites two recent studies which
pinpoint the gravity of the problem
one by a medical education con-
suItant group to the u. S. Surgeon
General. and the other by medical
research committee of consultants TO
the Senate Appropriation Commit
tee.
Both studies concluded that "there
are threats of serious shortages" OF
medical personnel within decade
''unless bold steps are taken to IN
crease the nations supply of medical
manpower."
The Editorial Research summary
points out also that the 1860 plat
forms of the Democratic and Republi-
can parties took cognizance of the
threatened shortage and promised fed
eral aid for construction of more
schools of medicine, dentistry and
nursing. and also financial aid to
students in those fields.
WILL CONGRESS APPROVE?
eff Congress approves the health
program to be submitted by the new
Administration in January, as seems
likely, it will open up wholly new
area of government aid to medical
schools and to young people who
wish to study for careers in medi-
cine" the report says.
"Vast sums of money have been
made available by the federal gov
eminent in recent years for research
on all the crippling and killing di-
seases and for training of medical re-
search workers. But little if any of
this money has gone directly for the
education of men and women who will
serve the public as general practi-
TONERS or to add to the teaching facil-
tiles of the country's medical schools.

Committee have recon-
mended 81 billion-plus program for

Residential Use Rises to
1858 XVIII In
Nashville, Tennessee

~AhNA AS"AA ssN'AAC ossCA TSSoSA"eAoh
The average residential consumer
on the lines of Nashville, Tenn, Elec-
trio Service used 1858 XVIII during
the fiscal year ending June 80, 1860,
the utility reported recently.
The MES annual report showed
that sale of electricity for all pur-
poses was 1864, 159,458 XVIII during
the year, an increase of 1899 20.
Residential sales rose 16.45% over
the previous year, due in part to an
unusually cold winter.
The utility is serving 42,028 cleo
trically heated homes and approx
mately 10000 air conditioning units,
the report indicated. A gain of 1878
customers Was noted during the year,
bringing the total number served to
126,781.
New ind si stifs al Heads were added
to the system and brought an increase
in sales of 56,14O XIV, with increased
revenues of $688,00O, the report

Jackson Warns
OF Stall On
Hydro Projects

Needed water resource projects IN
the nation should not be stalled off
because of the recent agreement
reached between the American and
Canadian governments on interna-
tional development of the vast hydro
electric, flood control and water
storage potentialities of the mighty
Columbia River system, which stretch
es across the borders of the two
countries.
That point was stressed recently
by Senator Henry M. Jackson ID
Wash.). who is also chairman of the
Democratic National Committee.
"While an equitable arrangement
with Canada will result in significant
dividends in low-cost power and flood
damage reduction, the needs of the
Northwest and the United States will
require an acceleration of water use
program in this country to meet pro-
jected power needs in the decades
ahead" Jackson said.
He riddled claims by the Admins
tration that the new agreement with
Canada justifies it's policies of emo
new starts" on other power projects,
or it's program of partnership" with
private power companies.
The agreement between the two
nations will be embodied in treaty,
if ratified by the u S. Senate next
year and by the appropriate authori-
ties in Canada.
The nact was announced d11rin o.
the recent election campaign, and
some newspapers said frankly the
timing was designed to influence
votes in the Northwest.
Under terms of the agreement, If
embodied in a treaty, the way would
be cleared for the u. S. to spend |
$453 million and Canada $402 mil |
lion in building dams and other facil- |
tiles by 1870, with more thereafter.

In the Sweet Bye-and-Bye
Inter-American Highway
TO Panama City Will Be
Readied By End of 1862

California State Automobile Asso-
citation lAAAl estimates the Inter
American Highway from the United
States-Mexican border to Panama
City will be open for traffic by the
end of 1862.
Recent awarding of contracts for
the building of 80 bridges along a
presently impossible 133-mile stretch
in southern Costa Rico would close
the last gap in the Central American
portion of the highway.
The CSAA noted improvements
have been made in the Ell Tapon Sec
tor, troublesome seven-mile stretch
just across the Mexican-G uatemalan
border. Subject to landslides, the
area is passable most of the time.
Construction crews in the area assist
any motorists in difficulty. Bridge
completion through Ell Tapon is ex-
pected to be completed in January,
1862.
Paving projects are currently under
way on sections of the highway in
Guatemala, Honduras, Nicaragua and
Panama. These surfaces should be
completed in the late 1961s, accord

Unemployment
Now Up To
6.4 Per Cent

WASHINGTON, D. C.-The ma
tons seasonally-adjusted rate of I'M
employment shot upward to GA per
cent in October, the government has
announced. The Labor Department
said unemployment rose by 100000
to a total of SO million instead of
dropping seasonably by that amount.
This was the unemployment pic
ture which the Eisenhower Admins
tration refused to disclose before the
Nov. 8 election. The figures were
published in the WASHINGTON
POST on Nov. 5. The same night,
Labor Secretary James P. Mitchell
told the press at a COP rally in New
Jersey that the story of increased
unemployment was Completely with
out foundation"
DR.. Seymour Wolfbein, Labor De-
partment manpower expert, said at
a press conference that unemploy-
ment was expected to rise to Al mil
lion in November, AZ million in De-
cember and about 5.25 million in
January and February. rnf
The total of long-term unemploy-
ment Chose jobs 15 weeks or longer)
swung sharply upward by 100000 to
a total of 1 million-double the total
for progression October 1857.
The key seasonally-adjusted rate
of GA per cent, up from 81 per cent
in September, has been exceeded only
in two of the three postwar recession
years. The rate was IL per cent in
October 1858; 5.8 per cent as the
recession eased in October 1854; and
an exaggerated 7.8 per cent during
an October 1949 coal strike.

COST OF GOVERNMENT

THINKS SALES TAX MERITS
CONSIDERATION

Cavan on the other hand said prop
erty and income taxes in this state
are not sound the way they presently
stand. He said "a sales tax is adj
mittedly a regressive type of tax,
with no particular reference to abil-
ity to pay and it has a built-in ele-
ment of unfairness s. on the other
hand it is tax that would facilitate
administration in those income groups
where we are having trouble collect
ing taxes or those who pay no taxes
at all. 1t would be possible to work
out a combination of sales tax and
income tax which would take out
the best elements of both types of
taxes"
Failing this goal Cavan would
consider a gross income tax elimi-
mating the systems of deductions
and exemptions (which are inter-
fering with the true purpose of the
taxi, he said.
He said he would agree that we
have not reached the point of paying
all the taxes we can pay. IF we had

raise substandard earnings, but
they serve as 'built-in stabilizer"
for the nations economy, according
to Professor N. Arnold Tolles of
the New York State School of In

Committee

Sem Elect Lee Metcalf, in a news
letter to constituents has made known
that his first choice committee as
signment will be the Senate Interior
& Insular Affairs Committee. This
is the committee which retiring Sen.
James E. Murray served as chairman
in recent sessions.
AS far back as Montanans can re-
member, Montana congressional rep
resentatives have served on either
the House or Senate committees on
interior affairs. Metcalf, until he was
elected to the House Ways & Means
Committee at the beginning of the
Seth Congress two years ago, had
previously spent six years on the
House Interior Committee.
In making his committee assign
ment request public, Metcalf said
that he would be trying to fill the
shoes of a giant, retiring Senator
Murray who has left the imprint of
his personality and his philosophy
upon our state and nation forever"
Continuing, he said that Eat the
recent election, Montanans voted to
continue a Senatorial team dedicated
to Montana development. The alter
native was to cancel Sen. Mike Mans
fields vote and to handicap him as
he continued to work for the Treas
ure State.

Mrs. Scott spoke out against pub

it doesn't deter juvenile crime and has
even increased it and second it is

going to help. There is no one panacea
or answer, she said, "the problem is
an amalgamation of a. number of
things, and picking out single things
like the broken home or working

by publishing names is not the answer.
She said she is often called sob

she said.
Mrs. Scott listed the things that

on the communities. The things
needed include:

dentists and nurses to our growing
population.
''The Surgeon Generals consultant
group said that to maintain the pres
ent ratio of 141 doctors to each 100,-
900 of population, the number of
medical school graduates would have
to be stepped up from the present
1000 year to 1900 in 1875. Cor
responding increases would be neces-
sary to maintain the present ratios of
Sc dentists and 268 nurses per 100,-
600 Americans.
"While new medical schools and
additional facilities for present medi-
cal schools are important, it is agreed
among leaders of the medical profess
sion that the country's future needs
for skilled medical manpower will not
be met unless ways are found to get
larger numbers of talented young
men and women into training for
medical practice.
''The training is prorated and ex-
pensive-four years of pre-medical
school, four years in medical school,
two years of service as hospital in
tern at low pay, and additional years
as resident physician.
EDUCATION COSTLY
s'The economic barriers to educa-
ton for medical practice are clearly
indicated by the relatively high per-
centage of medical students (two-
fifths) whose families have incomes
of more than $4,000 year. This
means that 40 per cent of the poten-
ton doctor supply is being drawn
from only per cent of the popula-
ton"
"While some scholarship aid is
available to needy medical students,
the grants are generally lower than
sums offered for gradu-
ate work in other professional fields.
A survey in 1858 showed that only 10
per cent of all medical students held
scholarships and that the amounts
averaged only $500 a year. Half of
The students had contracted debts to
