Ellis United Press Science Editor New York, Apr. 26 (U.R) Dr. Willard C, Rapplcye, dean of Columbia university's college of physicians and surgeons, believes there is no need for more doc tors in the United States but that the need is for better doctors. Rapplcye, In a report to the National Health council, said the country now has one physician for every 695 persons, a ratio twice as high in any other coun try in the world before the last war. He said the nation does lack sufficient dentists, nurses and personnel trained in other phases of medicine and health. The sup ply of doctors is all right, he added, but a better distribution Is needed. New Problems Created Dr. Rappleye said that in the future, an increasing proportion of the population will be In old er age groups and a larger part of health needs will be associ ated with the disabilities and diseases of middle and later life. "This presents an urgent and serious problem for the hospitals of the country, which are be coming increasingly crowded with patients afflicted with chronic disease and disorders of late life," he said.

Girl Scout First Class Dinner Slated Thursday The Medford district Girl scout first class dinner will be held on Thursday, April 27, at 6:30 p.m. at the home ol Mrs. M. N. Hogan, area president, on Siskiyou heights, it was an nounced today. Girl scouts who will attend the dinner are Mrs. Michele Ros si's and Mrs. W. R. Reichstein's Medford junior high school troops, and the troops of Mrs. Paul Snook, Central Point, Mrs. K. W. Ellingham from Oakgrove and Mrs. Thelma Misener from Jacksonville. I lieve the nation's hospital: "from a major crisis" some steps should be taken to increase the emphasis upon ambulatory care of patients as well as the mod ernization of home care. Satisfactory Home Care Dr. Rappleye pointed out that it has been demonstrated in ex periments that in addition to hospital and out-patient services, it is possible to provide satisfac tory medical and nursing atten tion in the homes of many pa tients. "While there are definite limi tations in the application of this principle," he said, "it is clear that the proper development of home care will in the future al leviate enormously the burden on the hospitals and hence re duce the necessity of building and maintaining as many such expensive units as would be oth erwise required." In discussing the advances in diagnosing, treating and pre venting disease, Dr. Rappleye said medical knowledge is now so advanced that no single indi vidual can master the entire field of medicine. "Specialization," he said, "is Inevitable and, within limits de sirable, but it must be coupled with the proper grouping of skills and talents to provide ev ery patient, as far as nossible. with the highest quality of medical attention."
