(Portion of an address by Dr. Francis M. Clarke of New Brunswick. N. ,/., presenting to the UNC School of Medicine a group portrait of Drs. Manning, Mangurii, Bidlitt and MacNixler painted by Francis V. Knghler. Dr. Mangum was described as a gay. gracious, kindly, witty, and urbane genUemau, tfc eipoycd the goofl things of life and was happy in a personal association with otli- er.s. Ifis was a sensitive spirit, and he was often given to intro spection and contemplation. As you will see, Mr. Kugtiler has depicted hi.-n in one of tliose lat ter miMXls wliieh was so evident in the photogi-aph from which il was taken, and so well known to those who knew liirn in pei son. The demeanor of Dr. Manning Is portrayed as that, of silent .strength and integrit.v of purpose. His was tlie strengih of an inner confidence in tlie woitli and mean- ing of hi.s v.ork, and he inspired all who came under liis teaeliing with th’ tni," purpose ol medieiiK' which is, the aiipliealion of clinical medicine to the problems of llie people of tlic comirninily. lie once told rne Ibal he envisioned th: , present riiediial .school ns a school dedicated primaiily to clinical medicine. Hi -, appearance wa.s of ten scemingiv .stern, tint all who knew him kmw that he 'v.i.*', the .soul of kindnes.s anri consid.-ra tion. Following fiis loiireriieut from the faeiihy. he eonliniied llii-; ideal of scrvcice by his efforlsi to organize and. adm.inisler the health insurance plan which ha.s meant so much to tire people of the state. He was a rock of integrity, and [ think would have been un able lo undei'stand any deviation from the literal truth. tls ♦ It was my privilege to sit almost aciiially at :lie feet of Dr, Bullitt since my de:^k in the class of patli- ology wa.s immediately adjacent to his usual |iosilion wliile talking.

Diving and working in ,his .small laboratory, singlehandodly, and with only a student assistant during the sirm- mertifne, he iirodiieed work, tl'.e presentation of which called him far and wide. He was a frequent contributor i.o lending journals of his interest and lie wars a wel come member and leader of many learned soeieties.

On the other .side of the picture, criticism is mounting over tlie “extravagant’’ and “fantastic” wa,ys in wliicli state school funds are being spent. The 'shift to sales taxes 20 years ago ■ quickly mut ed protests by property owners, Consequenfly, politicans f o u n d they could accede to the demands of the scliool lobb.y without stir ring up any concerted or very vocal public outcry. The more “painless’'’ sales taxes seemed to accelerate public school handouts: Now the trend i.s backfiring. Or- . ganized labor is aroused. And the people are bring'given a chance :to pull their' neck part way out ..of this tax noose.

It leads the economy and it is chained to it. Its manufacturers gamble upward of a billion dol lars each year on their ability to guess what Americans will want and on their having enough money to buy it. Many of its workers are no less venturesome. They count on tlie steadiness of their pay checks to buy an imposing list of goods on the installment plan. This willingness to “go for broke” makes Detroit a vibrant community, one in which violence runs close to the surface. It has not forgotten the turbulent sit- down strikes that forced the first break in the industryi’s resistance to unionism twenty-one'years ago. Its racial tensions erupted in 194.3 in a riot that left thirty-four dead and 7(t0 injured. Its labor move ment gave rise to the very dif ferent but equally controversial characters who head the coun try’s two biggest unions, Walter P. Reuther of the United Auto Workers and James R. Hoffa of • the International Brotherhood of Teamsters. Control of its industrial life is centered in three imaramoth cor porations, General Motors, Ford and Chrysler, The abandoned shells of once flourishing plants stand as acre-broad tombstones for eoinpanias that could not meet the test of survival in the war for market supremacy.■'( lysts estimate that 7^ have disappeared in i auto factories in the ,s years as a result of the!, tion of companies, the t operations to other stati; heightened productivity i mated equipment.
