In The Day's News
By FRANK JENKINS
Socialized dentistry in Britain
has increased the dental health of
the British people as a whole, but
has decreased to the danger point
the number of persons entering the
dental profession.
This interesting statement was
made the other day by Dr. Herbert
Parker Buchanan, secretary of the
British Dental association, who is
in San Francisco as the guest of
the American Dental association,
which is holding ils annual meet
ing in the Bay City.
He added:
"The whole future of dentistry
in Britain is in danger because
young men and women are not
entering the field. Our dental
schools are only partly filled and
a number of new dentists is not j
retiring from the field."
How come1
Well, Dr. Buchanan says, den
lisls in Britain are paid (by the
government) on piecework basis
so much for filling a tooth, so
much for pulling a tooth, so much

, Commission.
He accused the commission of
attempting to delay a report on
disarmament debates of its big
nation subcommittee. Further de
lays would be harmful, he said.
"It has been alleged that dis
cussion ol disarmament here would
interfere with or prevent discus
sion by the Big Four ministers,'
Sobolev said, "But disarmament
was a major topic of all the gen-
erai policy statements in the As
sembly. Every member of the
United Nations has the right to
debate this subject."
The Big Four foreign ministers
meet at Geneva Oct. 27.
The Disarmament Commission
subcommittee composed of the
United States, Britain, France, the
Soviet Union and Canada reces
sed sessions here Oct. 7. They were
deadlocked over disarmament
plans, especially on U.S. insistance
that President Eisenhower's 'open
sky' plan be adopted as a prelude
to disarmament.
Under that plan, the - United
States and the Soviet Union would
exchange aerial reconnaissance
and defense blue prints to pre
vent surprise attack.
bobofev told the commission
composed of the 11 Security Coun
cil members and Canada that
everybody agrees on the necessity
of measures to avert surprise at
tack. That, together with closeness of
agreement on the necessity of re
ducing armed forces, and the ne
cessity of continuing ' inspection
make it desirable to open the dis
armament debate here. Sobolev
said. He said there was now a
definite possibility of reaching
agreement.
He blamed the United States for
blocking progress in the closed
subcommittee sessions.
Henry Cabot Lodge Jr.. chief
U.S. delegate, listened intently.
Harold E. Stassen. his deputy in
the subcommittee talks, is accom
panying Secretary of State Dulles
to Fans for preliminary Big Four
consultations.
Sobolev's statement unveiled
some of the mystery behind his
request last week for an urgent
meeting of the commission.

Lehman Puts
Support Behind
Adlai Stevenson
NEW YORK A split in the
SO-vote New York delegation to the
Democratic aational convention
appeared likelv Friday as Sen.
Lehman (D-NY) pledged his sup
port to Adlai Stevenson for the
presidential nomination.
Supporters of Gov. Averell Har
riman had hoped, for a delegation
solidly behind the governor.
Lehman, who campaigned for
Stevenson in the 1952 election, is
sued a statement Thursday night
saying he saw no reason to change
his preference in 195(3.
Stevenson, in Chicago, said "I
am proud to have this expression
of support from so distinguished
an American as my old friend
tieroert Lehman."
Stevenson, earlier in New York,
had said "I am not counting on
the New York delegation at all."
Democratic National Committee
man Carmine G. DeSapio has
been working for a solid pro-Har-rimun
delegation. Democratic
Stale Chairman Michael H. Pren
dergast also has been actively sup
porting Harriman. New York May
or Robert F. Wanger has been
favoring Stevenson.
Before Stevenson boarded a
plane for Chicago, newsmen asked
him about reports that his sup
porters had started a move to pre
vent a solidly pro-Harriman dele
gation from New York.
Stevenson replied:
I neither know of nor have I
heard of such a thing. I'd be inter
ested, but I don't think I'd approve
of it. I'm not counting on the New
York delegation at all."
Oakland Delegation
To Request Access
Onto New Highway
An Oakland delegation it sched
uled to meet with the Oregon
State Highway Commission Nov.
4 at 10:45 to present a-Tequest
for an access road from the new
highway into Oakland.
The announcement was made
this week at the Oakland Cily
Council meeting, according to cor
respondent Mrs. Edith Dunn. It
was contended that the lack- of a
southern access other than the
one from Sutherlin is a detriment
to Oakland business firms. City
Attorney Nelson Grubbe, Fay
Stearns and others will be on hand
at Salem Nov. 4 to state the case
of the community, and business
firms will write letters to the com
mission stating their losses by not
having the access road.
One businessman, Vern Little,
said his was a case in point. He
said when his ambulance service
has a call to a wreck on the high
way west of Oakland, he has either
to go several miles north to reach
the accident or go south through
Sutherlin where he is slowed up.
Then he has to go north again to
reach a cloverleaf to make the
turn to the south.
In other business at the council
meeting, Mrs. Harry Underwood
and Ms. William Brislain request
ed a slot in the door of the lib
rary so children can return book's
when the library is not open. The
request was .granted.
Also. Charles Clarke and W. O.
Wegner inquired about fire pro
tection for the high school which
is outside the city. No action was
taken.
An ordinance pertaining to the
new garbage franchise was read
for a final time and passed.

Funds For Arms
JERUSALEM. Israel Sector W I
Premier Moshe Sharett made the
drive for funds to buy Israel arms
official Friday with a broadcast
appeal for contributions by Israeli
citizens in alt walks of life.
Sharett urged that all "contrib
ute to the limit of your ability'
oecause tne purchase of Heavy i
millions of Israeli pounds which
have no coverage in -this year's
ordinary budget."
He referred to "the impending
decisive military advantage of
Egypt an enemy of the country
planning aggression against Is
rael" and said, "citizens must re
alize this danger and give money
for arms purchases without de
lay." Egypt, which recently announced!
it will purchase arms from Com-
munist Czechoslovakia, also is con -
ducting a financial campaign!
among its citizens to pay for them
tjhareu a appeal followed a spon
taneous movement among the Is
raeli people who have sent almost
a million Israeli pounds (S56O.0OO)
to the Defense Ministry in the past
two days. Haifa port workers
pledged funds to buy two mos
quito planes.
The prospect that Egypt' arse
nal strengthened with arms from
behind the Iron Curtain, will over
shadow the Middle East provoked
fresh demands for security meas
ures in Israel.

The campaign was outlined to

Brownell disclosed the program

t'hn judicial program for the
fiscal year. 1958, which Brownell
said the President approved,
would call for:
1 Legislation making It a
"criminal offense" to invade the
