The Texas Medical Association, by restricting enrollment in Texas medical schools to barely enough to replace deaths and retirement has cut down our supply of doc tors, especially in our rural areas, thereby causing a shortage and higher fees for services, while 3,000 pre-med students find the gates barred against them. This same medical association now plans to get control of the supply of all competitive healing professions, so they can cut off replacements in these healing pro fessions and make the shortage even more acute and thus raise the prices higher than today. The Basic .Science (S.B. 63) is designed to give the Medical As sociation complete control of all branches of the healing arts and it is being pushed by unlimited funds and a high-priced lobby. If we, the people, do not write, phone or visit our senators and representa tives, we will have this infamous legislation forced upon us. This is a call for action. If you want to know the names of your legislators, phone this newspaper. Address letters to them at Capitol Station, Austin. Stop that Basic Science bill. Write, wire, or phone today.

Plant Foodstuffs Investigated Here “How plants manufacture pro tein foodstuffs” is being investi gated by the Agricultural Experi ment Station under sponsorship of the Nutrition Foundation of New York, which has renewed a grant of $2,000 for a third year. “We know that plants and other living organisms manufacture ami no acids, and wo know that certain vitamins are necessary for the process,” said Dr. Carl M. Lyman of the Department of Biochemistry and Nutrition, which is conducting the experiments. “But it has always been obscure as to just how these food acids are produced. We are working with very simple organisms—lactic acid bacteria—in order to learn more of the process. Better understand ing of the process should aid us in dealing with nutrition problems of men and animals.” TI L ABNER Tip Slid By AI Capp The Battalion CLASSIFIED ADS Page 6 TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 8, 1949 SELL WITH A BATTALION CLASSI- BTED AD.
