Approval Expected
For School
Washington V Leaders 1
of th National Education Assn. j
JEA predicted Saturday that ;
Congress will approve at least
pari of their sweeping space-age
program for federal support of
public schools.
The five-point legislative pro
gram, which the nation's largest
educational organization will lay
before Congress when it recon- j
venes next month, carries an im
molate price tag of $1,100,000,
000 a year. It calls for a steady
increase in federal contributions !
over the next five years, level
ling off at $4, 600,000.00ft a year.
Administration officials had
no immediate comment on the
NEA plan. But it is known that
President Eisenhower's staff is
working on a much more limit
ed program of federal aid to ed
ucation, totaling about 250 mil
lion dollars a year.
Ask "Massi" Support
Th NEA proposals unveiled
at press conference here Fri
day were highlighted by a plea
for "massive" federal support of
all public schools systems in the
nation "on a continuing basis."
The NEA said federal grants of
$25 per school age child should
be distributed to the states strict
ly on the basis of population.
State and local authorities
would continue to exercise full
control over school policies, and

The grants would be increas

years.
The average outlay per school
child at present is S332 a year.
Nearly all of this comes from
state and local tax funds.

Congressmen Ask Aid
For Mice Control
Washington (W Oregon
congressmen called Saturday for
a government "crash" program
against raids of field mice that
have caused five million dol
lars worth of farm crop dam
age in Oregon.
Sen. Wayne Morse and Rich

Ullman reported as many as
20,000 marauding mice per acre
in some areas of eastern Ore
gon, damaging wheat, hay, al
falfa, and other crops in their
forage for food.
The lawmakers asked for em
ergency funds from the Fish and
Wildlife service, the Agricul
ture Department, and the Pub
lic Health service for a "crash
program of extermination."
The Oregonians said that Gov

No Danger in Denial X-Rays
Of late there has been so
much alarmist writing in regard
to stray radiation that many per
sons have be
c o m e unduly
alarmed over
x-r a y studies,
such as have
been made by
the million for
the last 40
years or so.
At the recent
meeting of the
American
Alvarez
Dental Association, a panel of
experts on radiation assured the
public that there is no justifica
tion for concern about dental
ray examinations. They said,
there is no evidence that the
making of dental films will be
harmful to the j tient. Today,
with the ultra-rapid new films,
the exposure is only about a
twelfth of what it used to be.
The only person who ought
not to be x-rayed over her pel
vis is a woman who has just be
come pregnant; the little em
bryo might be damaged because
embryonic tissues are especial
ly susceptible to injury from
radiation.
Some Hope for Persons
Wilh Cancer of the Lung
I see that Professor Arthur
P. Stout, of New York, just re
ported that when 144 patients
were treated with very penetrat
ing rays from a cobalt bomb
(artificial radium) and from a
2,000,000-volt x-ray machine,
some did much better than such
patients used to do when treated
with the usual 250,000-volt x
ray machines. Forty-eight lived
more than a year; 14 lived two
years; four lived four years, and
one is alive after five years.
Some people may fail to see that
this is enough improvement to
get excited about, but I think it
hopeful because it represents a
big step forward.
'So You Want to Be A Doctor'
To all those many young men
who have written asking why
they should be a physician and
how they can start preparing for
the course, I can recommend a
fine book just out "So You Want
To Be a Doctor" written by Dr.
Alan E. Nourse (Harper's) In this
book he gives all the information
that a young man will want,
such as what he shall study in
his pre-medical college courses.
Dr. Nourse says the cost of the
eight years will be about $15,
000. He tells of the difficulties
lAtt

some men have in getting into
a medical school, and then he
gives a chapter on what is
studied in each of the four years
of techncal training. Finally,
there is an article on the intern
ship and perhaps a residency
later.
One of the most important
parts of the book is the detailed
information as to how to apply
for entrance iiyto a medical
school. There is much in the
book to help a young men to de
cide whether he really is fitted
for medicine whether he has
the necessary attitudes, liking
for science, and aptitude for im
portant subjects, such as chem
istry and physics. No lad should
go into medicine who hasn't had
excellent marks in high school
and college and who cannot
study easily. Any man, if he is
to do well in medicine, must be
of the type who will keep study
ing for the rest of his days.

Counfy Convention
Defended By Short
Salem (W Republican Stats
Chairman James F. Short, Salem,
Saturday fired back at David
Epps, Sweet Home Democrat,
who criticized Short's proposed
plan to schedule county Repub
lican political conventions.
"I will not accept advice re
garding the operation and activi
ties of the Republican party from
an announced candidate for the
chairmanship of the Democratic
party," Short said.
"Any atempt to discredit free
and open Republican conventions
as a 'return' to a system where
by nominees are chosen in
smoke-filled hotel rooms is pa
tently ridiculous and does little
credit to the speaker," Short con
tinued. Short said the conventions
were planned to let the people
voice recommendations on party
policies and to encourage strong
candidates to file for office.
