Dr. Frances Pascher, clinical dermatology professor at New York University, Bellevue Medical Center Following Family Style I admired my parents life style. They were never bored jwith medicine or each other. Dinner table conversation, the people they brought to the house, made a tremendous impression. Their life was exciting and challenging every single day.

and a cat and from time to^ time such assorted other* members as a baby rabbit, an injured blue jay, and a garden snake.

The two are one in the person of Liz, a bright and lively example of the woman who makes a physicians career and family life mix.

How do I do it? she echoed the question It takes an understanding husband, a reliable housekeeper, and organizing time down to the last minute.

As a woman doctor, she is a rarity in the U. S. Although significant numbers have entered the medical prbfession in other countries.

Since the turn of the century, the percentage of^ females among the total force of professional medical personnel in this country has hovered between 6 and 7 per cent. In contrast, the percentage is twice as great for the nations of Western Europe, and in the Soviet Union 65 per cent of all I^ysicians are women. Reservoir of Woman Power The statistics bother medical educators and others

She met Ronald when they were medical students, finished her last year at Duke University after they settled in Raleigh where he is now community health director for the State Board of Health.

Family is teamwork. Ron and Liz share equally, keeping evenings and weekends for the children, Becky and Mitch, and the things they do together.

Time Quality Emphasized

The quality of time we spend together is more im portant than the quantity, she said.

Practical considerations for a young woman considering medicine and marriage include physical stamina (It really does push you).

Whether there is a shortage of doctors *or dislocation in their distribution is a matter for debate in medical circles in North Carolina and nationwide. Both factors are involved. Dr. Kanof surmised.

In any case, opening the door wider for women to professional and para-professional medical careers is a start for a solution, she said.

The Stanford University

wncemed with the supply of School of Medicine recently

moved in that direction. It adopted a flexible currciulum

doctors. It indicates a reservoir of womanpower unutilized to meet medical manpower needs.

Cultural patterns affect a young womans career choice. Dr. Kanof said. There are fixed notions of what a little girl is supposed to be, she explained.

Girls are blatantly discouraged from thinking about medicine and other career choices which run counter to the culture. They are told, Its too hard for a woman,or ^You^eanT do that and have a family, too.

Guidance counselors at the high school and undergraduate college levels could help, she continued, if they would be at least neutral and'simply put alternatives before young women.

In her own cpse, she had an example at home to show that medicine and marriage can work. Both parents are physicians.

Her father is Dr. Abram Kanof, professor of pediatrics at Downstate Medical Center, Brooklyn, N.Y. Her mother is

with no fixed timetable for completion of the M.D. degree, and provision for academic leave without penalty designed to adapt to women medical students with children or other home obligations.

Praise for the Stanford program included an editorial in the journal of the Massachusetts Medical Society.

There is no convincing the bomb throwers Nit m^t of us rccQgmze^l^ and violence rob

us all of our freedoms, A society must protect itself and when violence takes place then security will inevitably be tightened so that freedom for all of us to move about is curtailed.

For the people of Pitt County the best procedure is to keep lines of communications open between all our people. Efforts have been made to divide us. These efforts have failed and on a person-to-person oasis Pitt Countians still get along with one another.

As dastardly as the school bombing is, all of us should recognize that it is the work of only a few people. It is not indicative of the generally good relations that have prevailed in Pitt County.

We now need meetings of the Good Neighbor Councils^ our county and communities free of threats to those who would attend these meetings. They should be held, under police guard if necessary.

At this point we should all recognize that recent Iximbings are not indicative of community relations in Pitt County. We do not know who is responsible or whether they are enemies of all our people black and white, and they really do not care who they might kill or injure. That alone should place all Pittt Countians on the other side from the bombers. 4s long as we do not allow ourselves to be divided, then even the bombers will be ineffective.

No-Fault

Insurance

By JOHN KILGO

Rep. Jack Rhyne of Gaston County tells me in an interview that he plans to make every effort to bring up the controversial que.slion of nofault automobile insurance at the special session of the legislature which convenes on Oct. 26.

Rhyne is one of seven Tar Heel legislators who just returned from the National Legislative Conference in Minneapolis and their chief aim was to learn more about no;f^ult jnsurante.

A federal official made it more than clear to us, Rhyne said, that Congress will pass legislation making it mandatory for states to adopt some kind of no-fault law within one year after Congress votes on the matter. Since we dont meet but once every two years, this would leave North Carolina out in the cold, maybe subject to adopting a federal law that wouldnt be exactly what we wanted or needed.

Rhyne says he has written Gov. Bob Scott, urging him to see to it that no-fault insurance is brought up at the special session. He says the (Jovernor has not answered his letter.

I had spoken to the Governor about this possibility during the waning days of the legislature, Rhyne said, and he told me he didnt want anything to come up that would complicate his plan for ri(S lr.u ctar i ug Aigli er

education. The fact about the matter is that not many people are interested in the higher education issue and 95 per cent of the people in North Carolina are worried about automobile insurance.

Rhyne says if there is no other recourse, he will stand on the floor of the House and ask that the rules be suspended to allow the legislature to deal with nofault automobile insurance.

The people expect us to take action in this field, Rep. Rhyne said, and if we muff it, well answer for it at the polls. I believe the higher

education matter will be resolved before we ever get to Raleigh. Certainly after we dispose of that, we could take up automobile insurance. The legislature did not adopt no-fault insurance in its last session, but asked a committee to study the matter and report back to the 1973 session.

Rhyne says the Tar Heel legislators cannot wait until 1973.

Both Lt. Gov. Pat Taylor and House Speaker Phil Godvm said in^^ interview with^me several weeks" ago that one of the biggest disappointments they had with the last session was the inability of the legislature to deal more effectively with liability insurance.

At the National Legislative Conference in Minneapolis, the Tar Heel delegation had an opportunity to hear from Rep. Edward J. Dever Jr. of Massachusetts, who wrote that states no-fault insurance plan that went into effect the first of this year.

We looked at several automobile insurance proposals, Dever said, and determined that we had to adopt a no-fault law. We had a 15 per cent insurance premium reduction when the law went into effect and Ill be disappointed if it doesnt go down another 30 or 40 per cent next year.

Rep. Dever also pointed out that, the federal government was going to get into the at if states didnt on their own to bring down the price of automobile insurance premiums.

Most people just want to get their car repaired, Dever said, and before we passed.no-fault, they were having a very hard time getting their money from the insurance companies. We also found in Massachusetts that the safe drivers were subsidizing the people who had accidents.

Dever said tha Massachusetts is finding out that 90 per cent of the automobile accidents fall into the category of no-fault and (Continued On Page

Strength For Today

STOP KICKING We talk about the promise of youth, and we may well do so. Maybe you dont like the way young people wear their hair or the blib and sometimes impudent con-versation in 'which they tell what they think of their parents, their school, their government and the kids they run about with. Oh, cry apprehensive adults, what an awful generation of lawless youth we have today.

Nonsense. Blindness. Prejudice and ignorance. The finger is pointing straight at you. Really, we ought to be authorities on mistakes we have made so many ourselves. Taken all in all, youth today constitutes one hopeful aspect of modern life. If you dont like the way they wear their hair, just look the other way. It might just be that you dont have a funny hairdo

because youre bald or getting there fast.

Take a few minutes off before this day ends and review your own youth. Were you brilliant and wise? Of course you thought yj^ere we all had that conntence. But if we had one dollar for every mistake we made before we reached the age of thirty, we could buy ourselves every luxury presumed to bring happiness.

Again, we need to open our Bibles to the early chapters of Genesis and see the youth problem Adam and Eve had to deal with in their two sons, Cain and Abel. Our first parents would have been calling the police department frequently and probably the commander "of the "National Guard.

Now stop kicking or if you must kick, reserve your kicks for yourself.

The System Is Failing

A policemans lot, wrote W. S. Gilbert, is not a happy one. Last weeks FBI reports on crime in 1970 adds some discouraging dimensions to the old refrain.

In the whole of the report, one finds only a flickering hint that the picture may be improving: While the number of serious crimes is up, the rate of increase has slowed. In a few cities, such as Washington, this rate has slowed significantly. But when that has been said, the best has been said. In every other asj^t, the picture is unrelievedly grim.

What we are witnessing.

sad to say, is a failure of the whole system of criminal justice. Even more seriously, the FBI figures on juvenile crime suggest a terrible failure on the part of parents, schools and churches to impress young people with the meaning of discipline and right conduct.

The system of criminal justice embraces policemen, prosecutors, the courts, and the correctional institutions. Their functions are to prevent crime, to punish crime, and to rehabilitate offenders. The system simply is not working.

In 1960, police cleared 31 percent of the serious of-

Other E(ditors Say Ervin's Concern

(Rocky Mount Telegram)

The less than honorable discharge from military service has been in the news lately because many men have received such discharges as a result of drug abuse. The Department of Defense is moving, we hope to correct this, having announced that men in this situation can have their cases reviewed as an extension of the gneral concept of amnesty for drug abusers in the armed forces.

Whether or not by coincidence, North Carolinas Senator Sam J. Ervin has called attention to another aspect of the matter. Sen. Ervin proposes legislation to reform the procedure whereby servicemen are discharge under the less than honorable rubric for misconduct or unfitness.

Senator Ervins entirely justifiable concern springs from the view that fundamental due process ought to apply in such circumstances, and that this is now far from being the case. The need for due process is all the more evident when one considers that, as Ervin puts it, any discharge less than fully honorable is harmful to the veteran throughout his lifetime.

At present a serviceman in jeopardy of receiving a less than honorable discharge has no right to confront the witnesses against him ,40. compel atten4ance of witnesses at the hiring, or to require that evid^ce be produced. There is not even a requirement that the less-than-honorable fnding be supported by sound evidence in the record.

Of this substantial departure from what would be required in any court proceeding, Senator Ervin property says: This is only a sample of the failings in this system. In short, the proceedings are almost as completely lacking in what we in America think of as fundamental due process.

There is a precedent for reform in the area of administrative justice in the military. The court-martial system has been markedly improved. Similar change would be set in motion by enactment of the Ervin plan, under which a pertinent code of procedure would be established. The ideal of due process should be extended to military as well as civilian life in all possible respects.

fenses reported to them. Last year, they cleared 20 percent only. In four out of every five cases, no arrests were made for stolen autos or for burglaries. The police record was better in cases of murder (86 percent cleared) and assault (65 percent), but barely half the reported rape cases of 1970 resulted in arrest.

A number of factors, says the FBI report, have influenced the declining rate of solutions. These include court decisions which have resulted in restrictions on police investigative and enforcement practices; increases of police workloads in criminal and non-criminal matters, riots, disturbances, marches, etc. The almost constant rate of police strength is not commensurate with the sharp increase in crime and the increasing mobility of those who commit crimes.

The overworked and undermanned police departments might make a better showing if the system were working effectively on up the line. Unhappily, the machinery of probation, parole and rehabilitation is working poorly. Last year saw 37,'900 persons arrested on Federal charges; of these, 25,900, or 68 percent, had been arrested before.

This depressing story of repeaters emerges starkly from a special FBI study of 16,300 offenders who were released from the Federal crimJnai iytice sy.stcm in

1965. Roughly a thousand were acquitted or dismissed without trial; of these, 83 percent were rearrested within four years. The system had made no impression on them. Another 7,800 were released in 1965 on probation; half of them went forth and committed nev/crimes. That year saw 4,400 Federal prisoners released on parole; within four years, 61 percent of them had been arrested (Continued On Page 5)

Center

'Great'

By JOHN CUNNIFF AP Bwlam Analytt

NEW YORK (AP) - It is s simple, efflcierit Tkiildihg,'* h said. Later he called it a good building, and after that

simple, tranquil building.

But is it a great building? architect Edward Durell Stone was asked.

Its a great building, he replied slowly, either reluctant to give his approval to such an all-encompassing term or simply too modest at the moment for self praise.

Stone, a graceful, powerful

man at 69, was speaking of his latest creation, the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts in Washington, which opened officially today. It has power with dignity, he said.

The personification of archi-teicture not only as a science and art but as a business too, Stone has blended the power of the mind and spirit with capital, planning, and a staff of more than 200 to make a huge, profitable enterprise.

From offices here and in Los Angeles and Palo Alto, Calif.,, and in Chicago, he and his associates plan hospitals, hotels, museums, libraries, colleges, office buildings, atomic rector craters* stadiums. And they build them anywhere in the world.

It is so big a business that one wonders how any one individual can impress his personality on it, but his associates claim he does.

The latest project involved Stones efforts for 13 years, during the last 10 of which he donated rather than charged for his personal services. He attended to minute details, said an associate, and was involved in every square inch of the building.

This was an opportunity, Stone said, a unique opportunitya monument to a great president and a chance to build a building on a good site. You cant get anything better.

In conceiving of the structure, which is 600 feet along and contains some of the worlds biggest rooms. Stone said he kept in mind the personality of the city of Washington, "a city of large white buildings in parklike settings. (Continued On Page 5)

Data Confuses And Misleads

By ELMER ROESSNER "

The total civilian unemployment rate has increasingly become a misleading measure of economic distress, declares Carol S. Greenwald, economist of the Federal Reserve Bank of Boston.

Writing in the Boston Feds New England Economic Review, Mrs. Greenwald said, Focusing on the unemployment rate for married men may be the simplest way ^of getting a more accurate measure of economic distress. The classic stereotype of the unemployed individual as the father with wife and children who are destitute because he does not have a job is not at all representative of the situation in the United States today, she wrote.

Federal statistics show that the unemployment rate for married men is much lower than for single men. The rate for teens, women and minorities is much higher than that of married white males.

CDMMENT: Statistics on unemployment have long been criticized despite heroic efforts at refinements by the Bureau of Labor Statitistics.

ELMER

ROESSNER

made in statistics, this still confuses the picture. Right now, not only is unemployment being reduced by returns to school, but employment in farm labor is rising to bring jn the crops. Next.mohth there will be further rises as retailers prepare for (Thristmas sales and the Post Office readies itself for the holiday rush.

There are perhaps a million men and women who are samplers of life, who try one area then another, ne job then another. These include the temps, who work when they feel like it. J know of one man who held more than 40 different jobs, half of them while he was on strike in Hollywood for s^ven years.

Some years ago I pointed out - that at that time a man who worked two days a week could be counted three times, once as unemployed and twice as employed. TTiat has since been changed. .

But even today the count, as Mrs. Greenwald points out, is confusing. Currently, unemployment is dropping statistically, not so much because of a pickup in manufacturing but because a million youths have quit

looking for summer jobs and have returned to school.

Much employment is seasonal. Even though seasonal adjustments are

In January, these temporary workers will be laid off and farm employment will be at an annual low. Then there will be a rise until June when summer jobs will increase employment and the flood of students will increase unemployment.

These seasonal trends will be further buffeted by the ef fects of President Nixons new economic thrust and the hoped-for increase in business and prosperity.

In addition, there is a large number of floating workers who move from job to job, some following the sun, and from jobs to welfare and welfare to employment.

Mortgage Delinquencies Low

Despite unemployment, Miortgage loan delinquencies at the nations savings and loan associations continue minimal, according to the U.S. Savings and Loan League. For the second quarter, delinquency ratios remained under 1 per cent. TTiey were 0.76 per cent in June.

COMMENT: Low

delinquencies reflect the fact, noted above, that unemployment is lowest among married men. But there is another factor: the yalue of homes is rising and every family will do all it can to prevent losing a growing equity through foreclosure.
