In The- Day's km By FRANK JENKINS Socialised dentistry In Britain has increased the dental health of the British people as a whole, but has decreased to the danger point the number of persons entering the dental profession. This interesting statement was made the other day by Dr. Herbert Parker Buchanan, secretary of the British Dental association, who is in San Francisco as the guest of the American Dental association, which is holding its annual meet ing in the Bay Ciiy. - He added: ' "The whole future of dentistry In Britain is in danger because young men and women are not entering the field. Our dental schools are only partly filled and the number of new dentists, is not even keep ing up wilh the number retiring from the field." How come? -1 Well, Dr. Buchanan says, den tists in Britain are paid iby. the government) on a piecework busts so much for filling a tooth, so much for pulling a -tooth, so much for a set of dentures. and so on. The best dentist in the kingdom pets no more for each specific case ol tooth treatment than the merest tye.' The result, he concludes, is that the practice of dentistry is reduced to a monotonous routine with no rewards for skill, competence, learning or experience. Thai's socialism for you. It .seems to be working out no better In modern Britain than in the early English colonies on the Atlantic teaboard of raw and new America, tvhere the colonists tried It out as a way of life, and didn't care much for it. They pooled their efforts and put everything into a common pot, out of which everyone shared alike. The industrious character who arose at the crack of dawn and labored in the field until darkness drove him home got no more in the final divide-up than the lazy bones who lay in bed until mid morning and called it a -day when the sun was still high in the west. Tha. worker with the green thumb, whose corn and beans and pump kins flourished and yielded heavi ly, got no more to eat in the long run than the numbskull who hoed out the corn and the beans and the squash plants and left the weeds standing. So. in Uie course of time. In Plymouth and In Jamestown, they tossed out socialism and went back to free enterprise. So much for the British and their dental problem. We have our problems. One of them has to do with all the auto mobiles we are able to make and buy. This problem is becoming acute in the Bay area of Califor nia, which is now growing even wore rapidly than Los Angeles. A good example of it is to be found in Marin county, which is growing like a weed. Only a few years ago two traffic lanes were fuffieient to- handle the situation on Highway 101, northward from the Golden Gate bridge. But the cars got too thick, and they built a iour-)anot-ovr-the four-Inner is worse congested than the old' two- laner used to be. So they're build, mg an eight-laner. In almost no time at all, the cight-laner will be worse congested than the four-laner now is. Down town San Francisco has reached the peak of its retail trade capa city for the simple reason that there is no longer a place to park r-.ny more cars. If you can't find a place to park any more cars, It is obvious that the stores can't got any more customers. That is going on in all the Big Towns all over our country, . What to do about it? I wouldn't know. But here's one possible solution: More people may have to live in the smaller towns instead of every body ganging up in the BIG TOWNS. Conflicting views on the effect termination of federal Jursidiction over the Klamath Indian Reserva tion will have on state and county welfare agencies were expressed Friday by public officials called to testify at an Oregon Legislative Interim Committee hearing here. W. W. Palmer, superintendent of the reservation, said in answer to n question from State Senator Donald R. Husband. Eugene, that he did not believe Indians as wel fare recipients would create any great hazard to either the state 1r Klamath County. In response to another question by Senator Husband. Palmer said there were comparatively few members of the Klamath Tribe who would need guardians to ad minister their affairs after liquida tion of reservation assets. :.tiJI Welfare Eiiclini Effect Debated - i ' y-M : r f i ' . i . i fvL.-'?.,, A . ;-wn ,'v r tj RESERVATION LEGAL problems were outlined for an Oregon Legislative Interim Committee Friday by Attorney L.

"It is our opinion that only between . 100 and 150 adults on the roserva- tion would need guardians. Of the.se, only 50 per cent would need total guardianship.

This land is In addition to all land irrigated bv the Klamath Reel-. ma'tlDif Project. ' At a meeting Wednesday, the Joint drafting committee of the Oregon and California Klamath River commissions prepared the final draft of the compact, which still faces several hurdles before going into effect. Copies of the proposed draft will be submitted to all state and1 fed eral agencies having an interest in the water. Then, about 30 days after this submission, the commis sions will hold meetings In Salem and Sacramento to hear objections or recommendations concerning the draft. t Following these meetings, a pub lic hearing on the draft will be held in Klamath Falls. As a result of any of these" meetings or hearings, modifica tions might be Introduced into the compact. Then, following the hearings, the compact draft must be approved by both legislatures and the Con gress, and signed by the president before it goes into effect.

Brookvillc and Chicago sheriff's police planned lo check her state ment lurtner. But they said she couldn't be trusted until ihe In. tluence ot ltKicoHes had worn off, CHANGES, THEOBY Until Rohlfes came forward, po lice had worked on the assumption that Bobby Peterson and the Schuessler boys were strangled on Chicago's northwest side sometime between 9 p.m. and midnight Sun day and their battered bodies had keen lluown in the ditch a short time later. Police hoped that Rohlfes idence would prove lo be Ihe first big break in a case which has shocked all Ch'.cago but yield ed dlscouraghwly few clues. But two other developments spurred police hopes that the case Is breaking. A 16-year-old high school student Ralph Helm, said lie saw the boys Irylng1 to hitch a ride in the rain Sunday at 9:10 p.m. His testimony :. dried 18 minute; to the rime police know the boys were alive. At 8.52 p.m. they had cot oil a bus, saying they were going to enter a nearby bowling alley. Coroner's pathologist Jerry Kecrns said lusts showed all three boys underwent a brutal beating, possibly in a car, before they were strangled. He concluded mat tne Killers niust hnve-been one or more men of considerable strength and over 20 vcars of age.

Her bert Biownell Jr. said today after a 25-mlnute coni'erence with Presi dent Eisenhower that he thought It would be inappropriate lor any member of tile administration to discuss publicly whether the chief executive should seek reelection. Asked whether his "inappropri ate" label on political speculation concerning the President In 1056 applied to House Republican Lead er Joseph W. Martin Jr., who earli er this week discussed the desir ability of Mr, Elsenhower's candi dacy In 1956, Biownell declined to comment and said he was speak ing only for himself. . The prlncioal result of the attor ney genera!':) visit to Denver was that Mr. Elsenhower approved on extensive department of justice program for 1956. including a re quest to Congress for about 20 additional federal judges and legis lation lo make it r criminal of fense to invad; the private of a' Jury while It is deliberating. NKW PRISONS Mr. Eisenhower also approved plans for two new prisons, a 7;'a million dollar . correctional insti tution for younger prisoners 'to be located somewnere In the West, and a new maximum custody pris on m the Middlewest to cost about 9':, millions. Brownell, one of Mr. Eisenhow er's most Influential political ad visers, said flitly that he did not discuss politics "al all" with Uie President loday. Asked whether he thought Mr. Elsenhower would run again, Brownell said, "while the Presi dent Is on his way to full recovery, I I think it would be entirely Inap propriate for anyone to comment on that, certainly for me. He also declined to give any sort of outlook for 1956, saying that he and his Cabinet colleagues felt that, this was no time to en nage In political sneculatlon with the President still a hosnltal pa tient. He explained that they were preoccupied with tho business ot running the government In the President's absence, and each of them had "a little extra Job lo do." Meantime the latest medical bul letin from the President's bedside reported continued progress from the effects of the heart attack he .-uttered Sept. 24. in their first medical bulletin of ihe day at 7:30 a.m., Mr. Eisen - bower's doctors said: "The Presi dent had a oood nifrhi's .sleep of ciffht hours and awoke fceiinR re freshed and cheerful.

(fl Russia demanded Friday a full de bate on disarmament In the U.N. without waiting for disarmament decisions by the Big Four foreign ministers. Arkady A. Sobolev, permament Soviet delegate to the U.N., made 'he demand In the 12-nation U.N Disarmament Commission. He accused the commission of attempting to delay a report on disarmament debates of Its big nation subcommittee. Further de lays would be harmful, he said. ' "It has been alleged that dis cussion of disarmament here would interfere with or prevent discus sion by the Big Four ministers." Sobolev said. "But disarmament was a maior topic of all the gen eral policy statements in the As sembly. Every member of the United Nations has the right to debate this subject."

Under that plan, the United States and the Soviet Union would exchange aerial reconnaissance and defense blue prints to pre vent surpn.se attack. Sobolev told the commission composed of Uie 11 Security Coun cil members and Canada that everybody agrees on the necessity of measures to avert surprise at tack.
