Democrats' School Aid Bill Stalled Washington U.R) The drive to bring the Democratic. 51,600, 000,000 school aid bill to the House floor was stalled at least temporarily today. The House Rules committee began working over the bill Tuesday. And so far, the com mittee showed no signs of letting it go. However, House leaders hoped the bill can be brought to the floor for a vote next week. , The bill calls for federal grants of $400,000,000 a year to states for school construction during the next four years. The administration wants to give the states $1,250,000,000 oyer a five year period. The Republicans have pledged to fight for the administration' plan. Any school aid plan is certain to run into a segregation fight on the House floor. Proposed amendments would bar federal funds to segregated schools.

The council said the situation is unique among the professions. The councl's 1954-55 annual report showed 29,560 young physician graduates serving as interns or residents in 1,364 hos pitals. That's more than the num ber of students in undergraduate medical schools, the council said, and indicates "the magnitude of the growth over the past 10 years." The pay for interns in hos pitals connected with medical schools ran $37 a month com. pared with $84 the previous year, the council said. In hos pitals not affiliated with schools, the monthly pay is $136 a month, $1.00 more than the previous year. However, the council said, the pay seems to have no effect on the prospective intern's choice of a hospital for training.

Displeasure Told Over Ford Grants Portland (U.R) Chancellor John R. Richards of the state system of higher education yes terday expressed mild displeas ure with the Ford Foundation for its failure to include North west medical schools in its re cent $500,000,000 grant to pri vate colleges and hospitals. Dr. Richards told the State Board of Higher Education meet- ine he wasn't disgruntled be cause public schools didn't re ceive Ford grants. But he point ed out that public medical schools were particularly de pendent upon private income. "The unfortunate effect of the Ford Foundation formula for medical education is to deny any. funds for the support of medical teaching and research in the en tire Northwest, for this area has no nrivate medical schools." he said. Of all the hospital beds in the U.S. about 71 per cent are op erated by the government 44 per cent by the states; 14 by the U.S.,and 13 by city-county. 5:30 to 9.-00 Fried Chicken $-fl65 BREAKFAST AND LUNCH 7 a.m. to 2 pa ASHLAND THE I HOTEL .
