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."

Educators Discuss
Plans To Invest
Part of Grant
Salem - Oregon educators
have been discussing plans
for short term investments of
a foundation grant of $1,200,
000 received recently by the
State Department of Educa
tion. 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.
