The Social and Health Services Conunitlee last weekend was given a staff report on the shortage. The panel also reeieved five proposals to provide more medical personnel in remote Under the university guidelines, 180 physicians are needed for each 100,000 persons.

Only King, Spokane, Chelan and Walla Walla counties meet that requirement, the staff said. Four founlies-Klickitat, Skamania, Pend Oreille and Wahkiakum--failed to meet the requirement of one dentist per 3,000 persons. One committee staff proposal would require medical and dental school graduates to serve from six months to a year areas of need or pay back the amount of public money spent on their education. Estimates of that amount range as high as $600,000. Under another plan, state medical and dental scholarships would be established, with graduates repaying by serving five years in need areas.

Licensing requirements for foreign doctors would be liberalized under a fourth plan. Divorces Suits for divorce have been filed in the Lewis County Clerk's Office by: Judy Ann Mitchell from Donald D.
