EDITORIALS -- OPINIONS Page 2 . Wednesday Sept. 9 — 1964 Key Procedure Should Be Set Now The controversy surrounding the now famous "Key Incident" appears to be receeding from the public mind—but the circumstances which led to the issue are still with us. The City Council, at its meeting last week, agreed to study the matter and decide on a procedure which will cover any future presentation of the Key to the City of Orange. We are of the opinion that such a study should be launched in the immediate future and a straight-forward policy adopted. In the future, considering the city's rapid growth, there will be many opportunities to present the key of the city to distinguished visitors. We believe the time is NOW to establish a procedure not ten minutes before any VIP is scheduled to arrive in our midst. By the immediate adoption of this procedure, it will eliminate the charges and counter-charges hurled during Sen. Pierre Salinger's recent visit. The Fiscal Policy Of The CIA Congressman Wright Patman, in the course of his deep probe of tax-exempt foundations, is giving the Central Intelligence Agency some embarrassment. The congressman has turned up formation, verified by the Internal Revenue Service, the CIA was giving money to the J. M. Kaplan Fund, a New York foundation. Or, as Patman put it, the Kaplan Fund was used "as a conduit for chanelling CIA funds." We don't know the purpose of this indirect use of taxpayer money, and probably don't want to know. We are not anxious to uncover the legitimately secret operations of the CIA. But Patman asks why the CIA was spending tax money with a foundation which has been under intensive investigation by both his congressional subcommittee and by the Internal Revenue Service. When Patman went to CIA for an answer, he didn't get it. Two directors of revenue have recommended that the Kaplan Foundation's tax-exempt status be revoked, and the Revenue Service is still probing. It does not necessarily follow that whatever service the Kaplan Fund provided the CIA was not worth what ever CIA paid it. But somebody ought to know. Congress should set up a watchdog committee to keep tabs on CIA and all other hush-hush agencies. The public doesn't ask what they are doing, but the public has a right to be lieve that Congress knows what they are doing, and why. This type of system has worked very well with the Atomic Energy Commission. It is even more important that there be a check on CIA and like agencies. The more secret an agency, the more liberties it is likely to take. We don't know the purpose of this indirect use of taxpayer money, and probably don't want to know. We are not anxious to uncover the legitimately secret operations of the CIA. But Patman asks why the CIA was spending tax money with a foundation which has been under intensive investigation by both his congressional subcommittee and by the Internal Revenue Service. When Patman went to CIA for an answer, he didn't get it, he said. "I feel like I've been trifled with." To Your Good Health Avoid Nasal Surgery In Allergy Season By Joseph G. Molner, M.D. Dear Dr. Molner: For several years I have had trouble breathing through my nose. I was found to be allergic to dust and trees. Shots do not seem to help. A specialist says I have a "deviated septum with overactive turbinates," and that the septum should be straightened but the turbinates should not be touched. He won't perform the surgery until after the first frost. Why can't this be corrected now during the allergy season when I have the most trouble? —A.E.P. During the allergy season, the membranes of the nose will be boggy and swollen. This condition makes healing more difficult and congestion worse for the time being, so you would not have anything to gain, and perhaps something to lose, by hurrying the procedure. Some doctors also avoid nose and throat surgery during the polio season," which could be another reason for waiting until fall or winter. Dear Doctor: You have written so many fine articles, is it possible that they have been put together in booklet form? —N.S. No. If all the articles were put in book form, as of now you'd need about two feet of shelf space for the books. My full-sized book "Stay Well Every Year of Your Life") is based on the practical rules of health that I try, day by day, to explain in the column. It also permits me to go more fully into some subjects which need more space than a column affords. If you are interested, you can get the book at any book store, or they will order it for you. (The publisher is Prentice-Hall, Inc.) Dear Dr. Molner: I have a friend who was in the hospital for eight weeks with gall bladder trouble and complications. They took 35 or 40 X-rays while she was in there. If one did show clearly, they would it again. My husband says they took many and it can cause cancer of the blood. How can you safe and not have X-rays with doctors advise them? How you feel about it? —MRS. E. How do I feel? Never take X-ray that isn't needed, but rather hesitate when one IS needed. The 35 or 40 may sound like lot, but at 1/10 of a second pose for each, that's only 2 seconds altogether. X-ray treatment (instead of just picture) is in terms of minutes, but don't know of anyone who "cancer of blood" from it. Dear Dr. Molner: You always referred to enlarge prostate as an older man's ment. I am only 30 but he been getting treatments twice week for an infected prostate Is this unusual? Is prostate sage the only treatment for inflammation or are antibiotics able to relieve it? —D. I've mentioned a number times that prostate trouble, primarily occurring among er men, can occur in young or too. Enlarged prostate is an er man's ailment. Infection Contract Bridge BY ALFRED SHEINWOLD National Men's Team Champion SILENCE IS GOLDEN; ALSO CONVERSATION According to an old saying, "Talk is cheap," but don't you believe it. Few things are more costly at the bridge table than talk at the wrong moment. West opened the ten of diamonds, and declarer put up the ace from dummy. East glared at his partner as he dropped the king. "He'd have finessed for my king," East snarled, "if you hadn't made this stupid lead." South had been hoping that the king of diamonds was part of the doubleton king-queen, but East's loose talk disabused South dealer. Both sides vulnerable NORTH ♠ 98732 ♥ J ♦ A753 ♦ A16 WEST ♠ 5 ♠ 64 ♥ Q84 ♥ 109753 ♦ Q1092 ♦ K ♦ K10952 ♠ Q8743 SOUTH ♠ AKQJ10 ♥ AK62 ♦ J864 None South West North East 1 Pass 3 Pass 4 Pass 4 Pass 5 Pass 5 Pass 6 All Pass Opening lead — ♠ 10 South of this notion. Obviously, East had started with the singleton king of diamonds. How could the slam be made? Was there a way to avoid the loss of two diamond tricks? Since he knew that he couldn't hope for luck in diamonds, South looked hard enough to find another way. If East had kept quiet, South might have given up the search and lazily hoped for luck in diamonds. Strips Hand South drew two rounds of trumps after winning the first diamond and then stripped the hand. He discarded a diamond on the ace of clubs, ruffed a club and cashed the top hearts to discard a diamond from dummy. Then he ruffed a heart in dummy and ruffed dummy's last club. With the stage set, South led his last heart. Fortunately for South, West could not follow suit. Declarer discarded another diamond from dummy, allowing East to win the trick. East had only hearts and clubs left. No matter which of these two suits East returned, South could ruff while dummy discarded the last diamond. Dummy could then win the rest with limbs.

Unland home, Mrs. Unland being assisted by Mrs. John Kaiser in entertaining. Four auto loads of girls journeyed to the Upland Ranch to participate in the pleasant event. They spent a merry time of it, with games and contests. "Artful gallery" was one of the games and "A Bird Romance" was another, Miss Emma Wickersheim winning a handsome plate as first prize and Miss Lela Keiser getting a boy doll as the consolation. Feeble efforts toward repairing the defective concrete on the state highway between Santa Ana and Chapman Avenue were in evidence today below La Veta Avenue, where a small gang of men were tearing up spots in the road and filling in with fresh concrete. Between La Veta Avenue and Santa Ana there are many places where the concrete is crumbling in appearance and where it has been scuffed out, leaving depressions in the surface of the road. Some of the worst places have been mended, there being nine repairs made on that section; but numerous smaller places have not been touched. 25 Years Ago Fire which started in a pump house on the A. Stark ranch on Hansen road south of Lincoln Boulevard near Anaheim today destroyed the shed and machinery of value of $225. Mrs. Stark said that she saw flames spurt from the gasoline motor driving the water pump, and that in an instant the entire shed was ablaze. Stored in the shed was a 50-gallon drum of oil and a rubber-tired tractor, destroyed along with the gas motor and the building. The Cypress fire department volunteers were first to arrive at the scene and they were reinforced by trucks from the Buena Park substation and the Orange headquarters of the State Division of Forestry. Firefighters managed to save the Stark home and a nearby garage, and also controlled the flames away from the chicken pens. Predicting that the government of the third German Reich will fail to attain its present objective, Louis Danz, Anaheim writer and composer, yesterday outlined to the Orange Rotary Club a scholarly study of the Germanic philosophy and traced its fruition in world event. Danz described himself as having been in sympathy with the aspirations of the German people up to the period of the Sudeten affair but from that time as emphatically opposed to the methods pursued by the German government. 10 Years Ago The mighty Bertha Ragan, all-time women's softball great, struck out 19 and allowed no opponent to reach first base to lead the Orange Lionettes to a 3-0 victory over St. Petersburg, Fla., in a second-round game here tonight. The Lionettes, having some trouble at bat, were able to connect for only seven scattered hits, scoring once in the fifth and twice in the sixth. St. Peter, outclassed by the former world champions, made four glaring errors in the field to aid defeat.

Power Managing Editor Wires Between Here and "Down Under" are Humming The wires are starting to burn between here and Australia in connection with our sister city project. Donald Kent, chairman of the committee, has received a letter from the City Council of Orange, Australia, commending the formation of such a committee. The text of the letter is as follows: "Dear Mr. Kent, The Mayor, Alderman R. J. Hill, has handed me your letter of August 25 and I have also your letter of August 18. At the outset may I say that your proposals to promote the Sister City project are interesting and are welcomed; so far Orange N.S.W. has not got to the position of appointing a Sister City Committee, but your lead has been brought to the notice of the Orange Chamber of Commerce from which organization the suggestion developed here to embark upon a Sister City Association with your good selves. The Mayor has recommended to the Orange Chamber of Commerce (whose address is Box 12, Post Office, Orange N.S.W.) the very best wishes for success to yourself and the other members of your Committee. Yours truly, (A. B. McDowell) TOWN CLERK" The wires are also starting to burn between Orange, California, and Orange, Texas, in connection with the membership contest between the two chambers of commerce. Mayor Jack Hileman has received a letter from J. Neal Miller, Jr., in connection with the contest which starts this week. It states: "Dear Mayor Hileman: You, your Council, and Chamber of Commerce, are to be commended for having the intestinal fortitude to compete with the Orange, Texas Chamber of Commerce in a membership contest. We sincerely wish you the best of luck and know that you will come in no worse than second. In fact, I believe we can assure you second place. First place is and will continue to be filled because Orange, Texas has the finest Chamber of Commerce in the United States. This..." Ragan's perfect performance, however, could not detract from the perfect fielding of the two chances her teammates had — or of their hitting and scoring capacity. Bus schedules for all points on the Orange Unified School District will be the same as last year, Assistant Superintendent Don Danner announced today. Approximately 16 buses will be operated to transport youngsters throughout the district when school opens Monday, he said. 5 Years Ago A two-page letter asking further review of a Planning Commission denial will come before City Council of Orange tonight. The letter forecasts a battle over moving a house under construction at 1136 N. Grand St. Builders have asked a variance for a setback violation, but a neighbor protests the variance and claims it would devalue his property. Last week planners recommended to City Council denial of the petition by Trebor Construction Company. The home violates a four-foot setback law. Its foundation at the closest point comes within 30 inches of the rear yard of Walt J. Helton 238 E. Wilson. Most of the 55 new school teachers of the Orange Unified School District met their principals and administrators today and took a tour of the district.

The Mayor has recommended to the Orange Chamber of Commerce (whose address is Box 12, Post Office, Orange, N.S.W., Australia) that such a Committee be created, and to assist its co-operation with you he has offered to provide photos of appropriate subjects for letterheads. (A dominant feature of the landscape here is Mount Canobolas, which will be suggested to the Chamber of Commerce.) In other ways, too, the City Council would hope to be of service in cementing a bond between your Committee and the Committee to be formed here. On these matters you may expect further information as soon as the proposals have had the attention of the Chamber of Commerce. In the meantime, it is sincerely desired to convey YOUR MONEY'S WORTH Attack On Critical Nursing Shortage By SYLVIA PORTER A high-priority attack finally is to be launched against the most critical and relentlessly worsening shortage of nurses in U.S. history. It will be made via the $287 million Nurse Training Act of 1964 which President Johnson has just signed. Although the act is only a minimum answer to our crucial scarcity of nurses, it will help mightily by providing: $90 million for the rehabilitation of inadequate nursing schools across the land and for the construction of about 30 new schools between now and 1970; $85 million for nursing student among our 13,000 residential homes for the aged, only one in eight has a nurse. So serious is the shortage that in many hospitals, under-qualified nursing aides are giving 80 per cent of all nursing care — against the 20 per cent of care they are qualified to give. Professional nurses are providing only 30 per cent of the hospital care — against a recommended minimum of 50 per cent. In mental hospitals the shortages of both professional nurses and nursing aides are particularly drastic. Meanwhile, the number of Most of the 55 new school teachers of the Orange Unified School District met their principals and administrators today and took a tour of the district.

Although the act is only a minimum answer to our crucial scarcity of nurses, it will help mightily by providing: $90 million for the rehabilitation of inadequate nursing schools across the land and for the construction of about 30 new schools between now and 1970; $85 million for nursing student loans up to $1,000 a year apiece, to be an incentive to individuals to enter the profession and to help remove a major financial barrier; $50 million for professional nurse traineeships to increase the number of advanced and specialized nurses and teachers; $58 million in grants to nursing schools to improve the quality of their instruction and to help meet the costs of higher enrollment. If you have been unfortunate enough to have needed nursing care in recent months, you have first-hand knowledge of the situation. Even so, these findings of a comprehensive nurse-power study presented to Congress this year by a consulting group under the direction of Dr. Alvin C. Eurich, head of the Ford Foundation's Fund for the Advancement of Education, will stun you. So short are our 6,400 hospitals of professional nurses that 20 per cent of these positions are now unfilled, and just to fill the hospital openings today at least 70,000 additional professional nurses are needed. So understaffed are our nursing care homes that one out of 10 of our 10,000 "skilled nursing care" homes, serving 350,000 patients, have no full-time professional or practical nurse, and fled nursing aides are giving 80 per cent of all nursing care against the 20 per cent of care they are qualified to give. Professional nurses are providing only 30 per cent of the hospital care against a recommended minimum of 50 per cent. In mental hospitals the shortages of both professional nurses and nursing aides are particularly drastic. Meanwhile, the number of nursing schools has been declining steadily, there are 1,200 teacher positions now vacant and only 10 per cent of all professional nurses today have a college degree. Meanwhile, because of the blunt fact that nurses on average earn less than secretaries, enrollments in nursing schools are lagging far behind demand for nursing services and an estimated 500,000 trained, professional nurses are not practicing. Yet, at the same time, more and more of us are demanding medical care in hospitals. More and more doctors, schools, public health agencies, nursing homes, etc., are seeking nurses. Increasingly, physicians — also in short supply — are delegating additional responsibilities to nurses, and rapid advances in the science of medicine require nurses to know and do much more than ever before. As a minimum, we should have 130,000 more trained, professional nurses in addition to today's 550,000 before 1970. Eurich's group argues. As a minimum, we should be graduating 53,000 nurses each year between now and 1970 against today's 31,-000. The number of trained psychiatric nurses should be more than doubled, the number serving nursing homes should be multiplied many times — only to meet minimum needs.
