Mr. Gillette answered that the department thus far was "Not able to interest many; we know that the terms perhaps will have to be liberalto provide a little more ized interest rate."

Senator Watkins plans to go over in detail Prqrvo's building and at next needs equipment meetings week with Assistant Postmaster General Kieb, who is in charge of the department's bureau of facili- ties, a step recommended after consultation with Postmaster General Summerfield earlier this week. Sen. Wallace F. Bennett also has been in communication : r fi i me. T umce wiui iL uepanmem this week relative w "ic Post Office situation. He has received the following in a letter from Rollin D. Barnard, deputy assistant Gillette responded. Senator Watkins said that he had had correspondence from Utah regarding facilities so crowded "They're .sorting mail outside in sheds," adding that "We have had no new buildings in a long long time." He also told Gillette: "When I first came to Washington (1947) I introduced a bill for 15 new buildings. Thai went into and hasn't been a pigeon-hol- e on such leasing contracts was at- : ,9 AND It Is the duty of this week's column to upset some firmly established preconceptions. In comlandlords are mon parlance, "grasping," plumbers are 'lazy," and doctors are "selfless." So it comes as a jolt that public opinion does not precisely agree with this. Recently we asked of a nationwide cross section this question: Among the following, which if any do you think generally get too highly paid for the services they provide? Plumbers? Dentists? Electricians? Landlords? Doctors? Auto Mechanics? None? The answers are very clear cut, and they will probably give some concern to the American Medical Association. For it is doctors who get the highest vote from public opinion as being too highly paid for what they do. Moreover, it is in rural areas, where the revered "family doctor" is still most generally to be found, that this adverse vote is the highest. This is how the figures go for the nation-wid- e sample of public : opinion Per cent believing certain people too highly paid; 32 Doctors 29 Plumbers Dentists Landlords Electricians 23 21 19 19 16 Auto Mechanics "None" 9 Don't Know Figures add up to more than 100 because some people gave more than one answer. Note that the publicly maligned plumber takes second place behind doctor. the publicly sanctified Note that dentists do not share all the resentment directed by the public at doctors of medicine. And note also that there is a happy 16 per cent of the population that doesn't think it gets overcharged by anybody on this list. How Much and Where Mr. Gillette said present department research efforts promise prospects of new equipment that will, within present space limits, step up handling in post offices by our people want some buildings some 30 to 50 per cent. Senator then if they can find some people Watkins observed that "That would e be a big help, but most of our Utah who will build them on a communities require more space. we the basis may get too Hn the case of Provo, for instance, not without new buildings and the present building was barely long to wait."

But, in the new America that has grown up since the war, the impression is widespread that the best medical services are now to be found in the biggest cities, where in general the great modern hospitals and their highly trained staffs are to be found. The figures in this survey seem to bear out this impression. Although the public is not in a position to evaluate the true worth of physicians' professional services, the economic facts are that the city physician's bill "for services rendered" is almost always higher than the bill of his more rural colleague. Yet the big-cit- y public complains less obviously under the impression that it gets better value for the money even though the doctor's bill may be higher. Too, the generally higher bills are counter-balance- d in part by free clinics, whose patients add to the urban iece r's noo-camplain- Despite all the magazin articles one reads about overcharging for sloppy work done on the family car, or on the family electrical appliances, the auto mechanic and the electrician come off quite well relatively when open invitations are issued to complain.

The public thinks he overcharges more often than a landlord, but less often than a plumber ! Although dental bills for old people needing dentures, or for the parents of children needing to have their teeth straightened may be high and a burden on the family budget, the complaints are moderate, at only 23 per cent. And the difference between the dentist's 23 per cent vote for overcharging and the doctor's 32 per cent is quite a difference when you consider how closely these two These professionals are allied. well give pause to figures may PHOTOS VALUABLE improvement, our, only alternative is to take action at the present to Big City Medics Paul Bunyan, mythical figure of American folklore, performed herculean feats in company with Babe, a great blue ox. f ings were constructed.
