Miss Julia Graham, the li brarian, reports that several hun dred books have already been checked out this summer. Despite the heat and the fact that many prospective readers are out of jtown, the library has had a daily I circulation of about 25 books. High school students and adults alike are using the library’s col lection of approximately 7,500 volumes, and people frequently drop in to browse around or to read the current magazines. Although most of the reading is of the light fiction variety, I several persons have checked out books on subjects ranging from sewing and etiquette to foreign languages and record collecting. One boy has been reading Life magazines a few at a time, work ing from the earliest issues in 1937 to the current ones.

Medical Examiners Called On by Umstead to Rescind Action on Foreign Doctors Representative John W. Um -tead Jr. of Chapel Hill has de clined an invitation to go to Blowing Rock tomorrow to dis cuss the question of foreign-born doctors in the State's mental in-' stitytion.s with members of the State Board of Medical Exami ! net's. “Let them first rescind their action banning the license renew als of the foreign doctors,” said Mr. Umstead, who is chairman of the State Hospitals Board of. Control. The furor over the foreign born doctors who help to staff the State’s mental institutions and some sanatoriums began last week when it was announced by The Foreign-Born Doctors—An Editorial I he State Board of Medical Examiners says it has a “re sponsibility to the citizens of North Carolina.” That is the con > e|K on which it based its vote to cancel the limited licenses w,i!i.!i pel milted about 20 foreign-born doctors to work in the State's hospitals under the State Hospitals Board of Control. The State Board of Medical Examiners explained that the I'Ueign doctors do not meet the educational requirements of the examining board because they -‘attended colleges and univer sities not accredited by the medical profession. It feels also, it said, that tin* emergency in the mental hos pitals i- over and that “the time has come when we should be able to get qualified doctors." That is all nonsense. If the State Board of Medical Examiners is so guided by its high concept of “its responsibility to the citizens of North ( arolina” then it should immediately: I. I oil the citizens of North Carolina just what constitutes 1 its approved educational requirements and why and how the N. C. examination requirements are so nnn h better than those < of other states. j -• Detail to the citizens of North Carolina figures to -show ils basis for the broad statement that the emergency is over in ' the State’s mental institutions. J. Justify its responsibility by finding the “qualified doc- ! tois it intimates are available and at least letting the State Board of Hospitals Control know where they are so they can go get them. Oil the othci hand, has not the State Board of Medical Exam iners failed in its “responsibility to the citizens of North Caro lina by de-licensing tin foreign born doctors and explaining its reason for so doing m broad generalization rather than facts? | reatment of mental diseases being a comparatively new medical field, the people of North Carolina are entitled to know i in what respects, other than not having attended accredited in stitutions, these foreign doctors do not measure up to standard. Tb* y are entitled to know how and why a licensing board should be permitted to disfranchise American citizens. The people are entitled to know if examinations offered the e foreign-born doctors are the same as those offered natives. (AAed like to know ourselves i. And, they are entitled to know just what sort of examinations these doctors failed to pass, if ntt>. how many times some of our native doctors may * have taken the ex iniinations before they pa < ,1, and if there are second and third examinations available to foreign horn doctm ibe people are entitled to know how, with the hospitals tails incomplete even now, the health program of this date eari progress with delicensing and possible resignation without replacements. I he people are entitled to know how further threatened re ductions m the staffs of doctors will support the State Board ol Medical Examiners’ belief “that conditions should be im proved.” Ibe people should be told what “substandard” treatment exist o who measures the standards, whether the alluded to "sub standaid treatment is general or occurs in isolated eases. So far everything the State Board of Medical Examiners has done or said or written has been challenged. The challenge, sup porlcii with facts and figures and not generalizations, has not Bunt at (upted. D"' people of North Carolina are entitled to ice this thing thrashed out to a finish. And quickly, to the end that they may detci nmie tor themselves exactly who feels its has a “responsi bility to the citizens of North Carolina” the State Board of Me 1.0,| Examiners or the State Board of Ho pita - Control. Wonderful Trip, Says Mrs. Saunders, But Getting Home Was Best Part of It After 8,500 miles of automo bile travel, Mr. and Mrs. Max | Saunders and their daughters, | Nancy, 11, and Betty, 8, got back last Sunday from a trip to California. "We had a wonderful time, but I we’re awfully glad to be home,” jwas their general opinion upon j their arrival in Chapel Hill. “I can’t say much for the : country west of the Mississippi,” | Mrs. Saunders said. “It’s too j barren to suit me. No trees for • hundreds and hundreds of miles. It was the first time I ever saw {mountains without any trees on J them. It’s too dry and barren out there.” Mrs. Saunders was an official delegate to the Alpha Gamma I Delta sorority’s national conven ! Lion in Coronado, California. I During the four or five days she was attending the convention, Mr. Saunders and the children took I sightseeing trips to nearby areas. They made a tour of the San Diego harbor «nd visited the famous San Diego zoo. They spent eight and a half hours at a stretch at Disneyland, near I.oH Angeles. Mr. Saunders played golf at Riverside with Bill Schneider, a former Chapel Hil lian now living in California. On their way weat the family stopped overnight In Lei Vegaa, Nevada. To get an early start next morning they got up at 3 o’clock and ware wall on their way by 4:40 a.m. whan they saw $4 a Year in County; other rates on page 2 ; the Board of Medical Examiners: that the limited licenses granted to them would be ended as of July 1, 1958. Mr. Umstead, who has been a champion of the State’s program of mental health care, immedi ately began to attack the Exam ining Board's decision, demand ing to have the Board present any evidence that the foreign doctors have not done good jobs , in the State institutions. He declared there is testimony to the effect that the foreign doctors have performed their du ties admirably, and that doctors in charge of the hospitals will verify the excellence of work done by the foreign doctors. i a brilliant flash all over the sky anil a few moments later a great mushroom cloud burgeoning high above the horizon, the results of the biggest atomic explosion ever set off by the United States. They figured they were about a hundred miles front the spot | where the bomb went off. On the way hack they visited Yosemite National Park. “Beau tiful scenery, hut I’ll never go there again,” Mrs. Saunders told a friend when she got home. She was asked why not. “Those terrible roads,” she re plied. “They hang on the sides of the cliffs and don’t have guard rails. You look right down for thousands of feet. Max is a good driver but I was still seared o death.” Also on the return trip, Mr. and Mrs. Saunders and their daughters stopped off ut Kansas City to spend the night with Mr. and Mrs. Dan Johnson, former Chapel Killians now living there. Other former Chapel Hill resi dents they visited on the way home were Mr. and Mrs. J. C. Little of Oak Ridge, Tenn. Two Jaycees Honored Two Chapel Hill Jaycees were elected to state chairmanships at the recent meeting of the Jaycees’ Btate Executive Board in High Point Ed Kenaler waa made State Sports Chairman and Gua Culbertson waa made State Directory Chairman. FRIDAY ISSUE Next Issue Tuesday Mr. Umstead also demanded to know why the Examining Board had not* consulted the State Hos pitals Board of Control on pro posed actions, since the hiring of foreign doctors in the first place was an emergency measure, and that there has been no indication of a lessening of the need. Criticism of the Examining Board also was made because of the timing of its decision. Al though it made its decision June 1, it was nqt announced until more than a month later. Mr. Umstead asked whether the hoard had deliberately waited until af ter the Legislature hud adjourned, so that legislators would not be able to act upon its decision. A meeting to review of the board’s action will be held August '2 by Governor Luther H. Hodges. The meeting was requested by the Board of Medical Examiners. Mr. Umstead said yesterday that, four of the foreign doctors of the JO who have limited li censes in state institutions have submitted their resignations since the Examining Board announced ils decision last week. The work of the mental hos pitals and the tuberculosis hos pitals will be injured by the Ex amining Board’s action, it was Mated by Mr. Umstead, by Dr. Stuart Willis, director of the State tuberculosis sanatorium j system, and by others who are associated with the State's in stitutions. Mr. Umstead has received more than TOO letters and innumerable .telephone calls in support of his • land on the foreign doctors. Thirty of the letters were from members of the Legislature, and I some were from hospital officials who declare the doctors are doing a fine job. Several of the foreign doctors" iwho at first had limited licenses !h**re rc<vu|i*mei»i«. ! have passed the Examining j Board’s tests and scrutiny, and I have become full-fledged doctors. Some of them are now members 1 1 if the Department of Psychiatry in the University’s School of Med icine, are teachers, and practice : psychiatry at N. C. Memorial Hospital. Another action by the State Board of Medical Examiners which did not make the headlines because ii was kept “confiden tial” several days at the request | of the examiners was the Board’s decision which would in effect put an end to the program of j residency training as it applies to foreign doctors. Residents in training here at N, C. Memorial Hospital, for example, have been spending a part of their residency training time at the State’s men tal hospitals. One objective of the program is to guarantee a steady flow untrained talent into mental j hospitals. Mr. Umstead said that | the residency program would be ! damaged by the Examining I Board’s ruling. The chairman of the Board of Medical Examiners, Dr. Randolph j Dofflemyer of Dunn, has said that the foreign doctors have ' been given positions of responsi * bility in some of the hospitals, ; rather than assigned tasks under [direct supervision of other doc tors. Mr. Umstead has asked for ’ proof of that assertion, and he I demands to know why the matter was not mentioned to the State 'Hospitals Board of Control if any such charges are based on fact. Epps to Speak at Outdoor Services i | Preston H. Epps, Kenan pro fessor of Greek at the Univer sity, will he the speaker at the Community Church’s worship service at 9:15 u.m. Sunday in the Forest Theatre. His topic will he “You Are to Be-Perfect.” The service will begin with a musical prelude at 9:15, with the main program to follow at 9:.’10, In case of rain the service will be held in Hill Music Hall.
