Even the American Medical Association, which occasionally displays a talent for obstructing, approved the measure. It was agreed by everyone concerned that the doctors and dentists are needed in large numbers in the armed services. It was agreed that the ones who should be taken first were those trained at govern- ment expense during World War II who had the least active service. What is not going to be so generally agreed upon, though, is what should follow now that the draft requirements have been set. And that's that there should be a prompt overall increase, as quickly as possible, in the number of physicians. A. M. A. officials stubbornly insist the nation faces no doctor shortage: But even before this war emergency the facts were against them. In rural Now that need will be multiplied, for more and more of the available physicians are going to be taken into the armed servic If. as expected, 5,000 doctors and 3,000 dentists go into uniform, the civilian population is going to notice the effects immediately Deans of the nation’s medical schools recently blasted their A. M. A. colleagues for trying to hold down the number of persons in medicine. Now their blast has more point than ever. Enrollment quotas in the schools should be raised considerably. Some system of government subsidy to encourage medical education should be devised. Old “trade union” ideas of making the practice of medicine more profit- able by holding down competition in the profession should be discarded. v America needs more doctors, and it needs them as soon as possible. Under the best of circumstances it is going to take time to get them, since a medical education is a slow thing. Certainly, though, the star should be made now. JANE WILLIA — PUBLISHER We welcome Miss Jane Williams, somewhat be- latedly, to the ranks of Alaska newspaper editors. Miss Williams, daughter of Lew Williams, Secretary of Alaska, is editor and manager of the Wrangell Sentinel. A graduate of Juneau High School, Miss Williams attended both the University of Alaska and the Uni- versity of Washington and, in 1949, completed a course in linotype operation at the Milo Bennett Linotype School in Indiana. Although this is her first attempt at editing a newspaper, Miss Williams is by no means a novice in either newsroom or backshop. Daughter of a news- paper family, she grew up in the Sentinel office she is now managing. She has worked also on the University of Wash- ington Daily, the Ketchikan Chronicle and as a lino- type operator for the Central Job Printing Company in Louisville, Kentucky. Miss Williams already has several editions of her weekly newspaper to her credit, she is doing a d job and we wish her continued success. VOTE Polls will be open tonight until 8 o'clock.

Narcotics Bur- eau has kept a close watch on it, and has circulated among narcot- Mts agents the following confidential instruction: “Because of our belief that members .of the Mafia constitute the most important and most dangerous group engaged in the traffic of drugs, it is deemed essential that every narcotics agent be fully informed concern- ing this underworld organization.” According to this confidential narcotics Bureau report, Mafia members at first “lived accord- ing to the old traditions, and if they killed from time to time, it was to punish a member who had d¢he something radically wrong or to avenge a non-forgivable of- fense to a member. Pimps were looked upon with contempt and could not aspire to enter the ranks | ber of the Mafia “This shows how the | 8 past criminal rccord, but in his association has degenerated (inas- | community he donates a large sum | Gardner; of the Mafia. . much as Lucky Luciano was king of the pimps and a prominent charitable the Mafia in New ngember of ¥ork). . ..” Matia Civil War “The organization was originally for Sicilians exclusively, because the Sicilians were men of proven and proverbial secrecy and they chines, slot machines, prostitution, :gambling of every form and des- cription, “The Matia has also managed to monopolize legitimate industries. : The fruit and produce market is controlled by the Mafia.

The olive oil business in California is controlled by the Mafia and so is most ‘of the tomato paste industry.| “The fact that most members | of the Mafia in this country are camouflaged by legitimate busi- ness makes it difficult to tell who is who.
