Alaska Dental Board’s
President Denies There
Is “Closed Shop” Attitude
JUNEAU, UP) — A running con
troversy over the territorial -den
tal board’s policies held the stage
again Tuesday afternoon in* the
House of Representatives.
Dr. R. N. Williams, president
of the Alaska Dental Society,
denied there was any “closed
shop” attitude by the dental board
toward new dentists.
He spoke against a bill spon
sored by Rep. Lee McKinley, the
only dentist in the Legislature, to
prohibit over one graduate from
any one dental school to serve
on the dental board.
“There is no sense in this bill,”
he said. “The governor could name
a new board tomorrow. The board
has nothing to do with it.”
He added: “When I was young
I always figured if I flunked an
exam it was my fault, not the
board’s. If you can legislate dent
ists into Alaska that will be some
thing new.”
Dr. Williams said, “To destroy
all standards for the territory in
order to interest a greater num
ber of dentists in coming doesn’t
seem to be sound thinking when
one considers protection of the
population from unqualified men.
“Every state in the unicm has
a dental board. All dental boards
made similar requirements of ap
plicants. It is interesting to note
that of 13 dentists who tried the
dental examinations last June,
eight were licensed to practice
but only three elected to stay in
the territory.”
$40,000 RFC Loan for Kenai Hotel
SEATTLE, UP)—The Seattle dis

complete a hotel at Kenai.
