Dental Association
Urges Fluoridation
Portland (U.R) The Oregon
State Dental Association today
urjjSd that communities go ahead
with plans for fluoridation of
water supplies as soon as pos
sible. The association, in the strong'
est stand it has taken on the is
sue to date, made the statement
in its first official action follow
ing State Supreme Court de
cision upholding the right of
communities to add the chemical
to municipal water supplies.
We recognize that the addi
tion of these compounds reduces
decay 40 to 65 per cent and there
is nothing that has come along
which can compare to any extent
with this procedure," Dr. J. War
ner Henderson, president of the
group, said.
The association opened its
63rd annual convention here yes
terday.
Dr. Paul W. Kunkel Sr., Port
land, newly-elected president
elect who will take office in
1957, pointed out that medical
pioneers and authorities in near
ly every field have been ham
pered by lack of public accept
ance of new programs. He men
tioned vaccinations and chlori
nation of water as examples.
Dr. Kunkel said, "Fluoride has
no odor, taste or unpleasant fea-
tiii. This is not a -drug. It's
a food element."
Thornton Points
To Career Plan
Salem (U.R) Attorney Gen
eral Robert Y. Thornton said last
night that public confidence in
the impartiality of the attorney
(general's office could be assured
only if appointments were made
under a career plan such as the
one now in force.
Thornton reviewed his admin
istration as attorney general in
a speech to the department of
justice bar association here. ' '
He listed the main objectives
of his office as providing clear
and understandable ballot titles
on measures voted by the people,
cracking down on public welfare
f faud and non:support cases, and
cooperating with local and state
police and prosecutors in crack-
ing down on prostitution.
A further objective, Thornton
aid, was establishment of a non
political career system for the
appointment and prornotion of
attorneys in all state depart
. ments, boards and commissions.
He expressed vigorous opposi
tion to a proposal made during
the 1955 Legislature that the at
torney general be appointed by
the governor instead of being
elected by the people, as he has
been since 1892.

Dupes of Communist
Party Policy Shift
Washington U.R) Law
yers are the latest "dupes" of a
major policy shift by the Amer
ican Communist party, Assist
ant Attorney General -, William
F. Tompkins said today.
The head of the . Justice de
partment's Internal Security di
vision said volunteer defense of
LCommunist leaders by local bar
asociations is helping the party
in one of its "new look" drives,
the attempt to undermine the
Smith act.
Other New Drives
Other new drives by the party
include renewed efforts to in
filtrate "intellectual . groups,
organization of smaller but
more numerous "front" groups
and a campaign to gain accept
ance as a legitimate American
political party.
. "The basic aim of the party
remains - the same," Tompkins
said. "That is the overthrow of
the U.S. government by any
means available."
A number of bar associations
have been "dupes" in the Com
munist drive to discredit the
Smith act through offering their
legal services to defend so
called second - string Commu
nists, Tompkins said.
He cited the Cleveland Bar
association which took up a col
lection to defend 10 Smith act
defendants. Four of the defend
ants recently were acquitted,
while the others were onvicted.

The Smith act prohibits advo
cating the overthrow of the gov
ernment by force and violence.
It has been the government's
cliief legal weapon against Com
munist leaders.
"The bar associations that
lend their support to' this move
are themselves dupes of Commu
nist party strategy. And an indi
cation of the effectiveness of
Communist party propaganda is
the fact that many of the per
sons challenging the Smith act
sincerely believe they are de
fending civil rights,". Thompkins
said.
