MEDFORD HAIL TRIBUNE, MDFORD, OREGON Quacks Think Big Dick West Finds Fatal Flaw In Plan To Ease Doctor Shortage MONDAY. AUGUST 19. 1963 By DICK WEST Washington -WPD- Not long ego I read a report to the effect that this country has, or soon will have, a short age of doctors. And not long after t h a t a Physician friend of mine told me that a lot of a doc tor's time is taken up with west cases "that any good quack could han dle." Putting two and two togeth er, which I can do with the aid of an electronic computer, I almost made a dreadful mis take. I was on the verge of proposing that the United States adopt a system of li censed quackery. It was my idea that hypo chondriacs, malingerers, cry babies and others with psy chosomatic or inconsequen tial ailments would go for treatment to their friendly neighborhood quack. This would leave the nil M.D.i free to traat actual illnesses, thui greatly re lieving if not eliminating the doctor shortage. The plan looked good at first, but I can see now that it wouldn't work. What open ed my eyes to the fatal flaw was an exhibit of quack med ical devices that the Food and Drug Administration has put on display here. It is obvious from this ex hibit that the quacks wouldn't be satisfied with treating imaginary or picayune mala dies, as I had envisioned. Quacks may be crooked, but they think big. One of the devices in the display is called a "sonus film-o-sonic." It was supposed to cure various illnesses by translating music into elec tric impulses. For example, "Smoke Gets in Your Eyes" wa represented at a cure for cancer and "Holiday for Strings" for arteriosclerosis. How anyone could have been taken in by such bum- buggery is beyond me. The thing ii ridiculoui on its face. I mean, everyone knows that "Smoke Gets in Your Eyes" can't cure cancer. That is the cure for myopia. For cancer you use "I've Got You Under My Skin." Another device seized by the FDA is the "microdyna meter," which was represent ed as being able to diagnose diseases by measuring elec tric current given off by the body. FDA investigators became suspicious when they attached the machine to a corpse and it registered "healthy." A somewhat similar ma chine, the "oscilloclast," was exposed when agents gave it a drop of red ink to analyze. Back came a diagnosis of "sys tematic toxemia contributing to lowered vitality and ane mic tendencies." So now I know what is wrong with me. I'm a victim of "tired ink." Sir lm ' I?!

The grant, as well as accu mulated interest, will be used by local schools, colleges and the State Department of Ed ucation cooperating under The Oregon Program In their ef forts to improve Oregon edu cation in the public schools. The central figures in The Oregon Program are the chil dren in the elementary and secondary classrooms of the state, and for them the total educational program is "re thought," according to Dr. Leon P. Minear, superinten dent of public instruction, who acted as spokesman for the group. "Improvements in educa tion will result in a more effective use of the tax dol lar and this is also of primary concern to educators and of ficials of state government, who not only officially rep resent the taxpayers of Ore gon, but are themselves tax payers!" Program Participants Oregon Program partici pants include the State De partment of Education, 9 Ore gon colleges and universities, and 20 school districts. The 1962-63 grant money will be used by participants for the purpose of underwriting proj ects which have given promise of improving conditions for learning. These include teach ing intern programs, team teaching, flexible scheduling, nongraded programs, and the use of new technology in instruction. Last year $970,000 of the total grant was distributed for projects primarily con cerned with in-service train ing of the teachers and staff of participating agencies who traveled throughout the Unit ed States to visit c e n te r s where promising demonstra tions of innovations to im prove education were going on. NEA Reports on Pay For U. S. Teachers Washington - fUPB - The Na tional Education association reported Sunday at least 75 U.S. public school systems will pay salaries of $11,000 or more to classroom teachers in the next school year. The NEA said Beverly Hiills, Calif., would have the highest salary scale with a $14,000 maximum for teach ers holding doctor's degrees. Wantagh, N.Y., ranks second with a $13,488 maximum.

Rural Youths Urged by Educator To Go To College Corvallis - More young people from the rural areas of America should be going to college. And "individual genius" must not be lost or submerged in the large scale, team-type research programs under way in America today, the presi dent of the American Society of Animal Science has empha sized at Oregon State univer sity. Dr. L. E. Hanson of the University of Minnesota noted that only about half as many students are graduated each year as are needed to fill posi tions in agriculture and indus tries related to agriculture. For many of these employ ment opportunities, a rural background is a distinct asset, he observed. However, the percentage of students going on to college from rural farm areas is about half that from metropolitan areas. A 1961 Minnesota survey of high school youths showed that only 28 per cent of rural farm youths were intending to enroll in college, compared to 43 per cent for non-farm, non-metropolitan youths, and 56 per cent for metropolitan youths, Hanson reported. The net result is a terrible loss to the individual and so ciety, Hanson insisted. He urged members of the society to help stimulate interest in higher education among farm youths. Hanson's address came at the end of the society's 55th annual meeting in Corvallis. It was the first time that the society had met outside Chi cago since 1920. Dr. Clair Terrill, U. S. De partment of Agriculture re search worker at Beltsville, Md., was elected to succeed Hanson as president. Research in America has grown tremendously in the past 10 years but "germs of problems" exist which could become serious "if we are not alert to them," Hanson cau tioned. Scientists are most concern ed about the possible loss of, or failure to recognize and develop, the individual genius in our large, highly organized research projects that have sharply defined goals, he said. The system commonly used by agencies in granting funds to individual scientists instead of to the institutions in which they are staff members has had the effect in some cases of "eroding university respon sibility and shifting faculty loyalty away from the insti tution and toward the agen cy," he also noted. Steps are being taken now which can restore balance and strengthen university respon sibility and control over its activities, he indicated. More than 700 scientists from throughout the United States and Canada attended the national meeting. The Oregon State university de partment of Animal Science was host. Dr. James Oldfield of OSU is secretary-treasurer of the 2,600-member society.
