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.

Fire Chief Roy Rowe plans to
have an old hose oart parked in

The opening will be under the

of the Historical Society will be in
charge of the tea which wilt be ,
served in the museum Sunday

'We have made a study of this
problem." Palmer explained. "It
is our opinion that only between .
100 and 150 adults on the roserva-

Report Clears
Pact Figures
. Due lo an erroneous report furn
ished by the United Press, the
Herald and News printed the
wrong acreage figures yesterday
in a story concerning the final
drafting of the interstate compact
on the use of the Klamath River,
The compact provides for (he ir
rigation of 200,000 acres In Oregon
and 100,000 acres in California.
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. Com
missioners have estimated that
this will take a minimum of two
years.

Eisenhower
lOkavs New
Judge Lists
DENVER UP i Atty. Gen. 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."

letin from the President's bedside
reported continued progress from
the effects of the heart attack he

' "It has been alleged that dis

Sobolev said. "But disarmament
was a maior topic of all the gen
