BY WALTER L SMART
Executive Director
National federation ot Settlements
and Neiqhbortiood Centers
T he n a tio n 's m e d ic a l
school* have been warned
that federal fund* may soon
lx- cut for medical student
recruitment and tuition sup
|M»rt.
Dr. Charles C. Ed
wards. Assistant Secretary
for Health, Education and
Welfare, gave such a warn
ing at a Washington meeting
of the Association of Ameri
can Medical Colleges.
He
said the continued financing
of the Health Manpower Ed
ueation Act threatened to
create a "doctor surplus".
He further stateil that if
we maintain the current rate
of medical graduates, in 19X5
the United States w ill have
50% more physicians, 40%
more dentists and 60% more
registered nurses than it had
in 1970.
There were 334,025 physi
dans in the i ' s. in 1870
The National Medical As
aoriation states that of this
number only 7.000 are Black.
Edwards estimates hy 19X5
there should be 501,042 dor
tors in the II.S., or I doctor
fur every 47X jiersons. To
day there is 1 doctor for
every 612 ,HTsons.
What
makes this a surplus? We
know that there is still a
chronic shortage of doctors
in the urtian areas, particu
larly Black doctor*.
Often
the ratio is 1 in lO.(MM) We
suggest that federal sup[x>rt
should be continued in this
area of vital need.
I railed the office of Dr.
Edwards to find what rr i
teria was used to determine
a doctor surplus.
His rea
sons were not entirely based
on riumbiTs. I talked to his
public service director, Tom
Eliger, who revealed that fir.
Edwards feels there are sur
pluses in various medical
fields.
He rile d surgeons.
Again, asking what surplus
meant, he explained that lie
eause there are more sur
geons, there is a higher and
unnecessary demand for sur
geons. If there were fewer
surgeons, the demand would
lessen. A similar argument
has been advanced by the
American Medical Associa
lion.
The thought of having a
surplus of doctors is incredu
lous! I am more concerned
with the distribution of doc
tors in urban and rural
areas.
In Dr. Edwards'
speech, he spoke of few
realizable plans to ensure
decent medical accessibility
for all Americans.
Medical
education costs are soaring
and th«- government has seen
f it to o ffse t such ro sts
through subsidy. It is now
time for us to place restric
tions on the localities where
a physician can practice who
has in large measure had his
education subsidized by gov
ernment. We must take a
firm stand to promote an
influx of physicians to the
areas where they are needed
most.

A man who served on the
President’s Council of Eco
nomic Advisor* from 1971 to
1973 w ill keynote the 11th
annual Business and Eco
nomic Outlook Conference to
be held December 10 at the
Hilton Hotel.
The conference is spon
sored jointly by the Portland

The uncertainty of the eco
nomic picture in light of the
bouncing stock market and
the fuel shortage, among
other factors, makes the con
ference especially significant
this year, says Donald B.
Parker, dean of the School of
Business Adm inistration at

marily top management of
businesses in the Portland

Roberts discusses
hospital regulation
It may become necessary
for Oregon to regulate hospi
tals as it now regulates elec
tr ir u tilitie s and natural gas
companies, said Slat«' Sena
tor Betty Roberts in Eugene
Saturday.
She sail! health care costs
have increased by more than
5X0 |HTcent nationally since
1950 and w ill m a rly double
again in th«- next six years.
".Americans spent nearly
$70 billion on health care in
1970
about $300 for
every man, woman and
child." she said. “ Research
ers expert health care costs
to rise to $X5O per person
each year, or $135 billion
total, by 19X0."
Senator Roberts said the
problem of rising health rare
costs is particularly signifi
cant to the poor and elderly,
the groups most susceptible
to illness and least able to
afford it.
"Consumer resistance has
set in and the public is
demanding action," she said.
“ A credibility gap exists be
tween the public and the
providers of health care. If
Congress does not act. and
history indicates it does only
in times of crisis, Oregon
must take major steps to
insure adequate health care
for its citizens."
Senator Roberts also dis
cussed alternative health de
liv e ry system s, in clu d in g
clinics set up in Portland by
the Seventh Day Adventist
Church and a h«-alth main
tenance proposal being con
sidered by Lane County.
She spoke at a health care
conference sponsored by the
Central Presbyterian Church
in Eugene.

FOR
(DBS 646.260) "No person
engaged in th«' business of
selling gasoline shall, with
(he intent to suppress com
petition or create a mo
nopoly: a) Discriminate by
direct or indirect methods in
the sale of gasoline at whole
sale between purchasers in
uny section.
b) Make or carry into ef
feet any contract, under
standing or agreement with
any person, co rp o ra tio n ,
partnership or association of
persons in this state to fix
prices with respect to the
sale or distribution of gaso
line so as to prevent or ob
struct competition in the
purchase, sale or distribution
of gasoline."
Senator Cook, who said
the law dates back to 1933.
said. “ By this statement I'm
asking our ¿Attorney General
to commence an investigation
to determine whether or not
there has been a violation of
our Unfair Gasoline Sales
law.
Certainly it appears
there has been. This investi
gation would complement the
investigation by the Federal
Trade Commission requested
by Wayne Bowlby. executive
director of the Oregon Gaso
lin e D ealers Association.
While the federal govern
ment has broader jurisdie
tion, we at the slate level
are not helpless. I hope the
governor w ill join the At
tornev General in attempting
to bring about a rollback of
this unjustified gas price in
crease."
Senator Ctxik has indicated
that he may Ix-come a candi
date for U.S. Senator or
Governor.
