Dental Exam Policies
Hit By Dr. McKinley
Anchorage—The long stand
ing feud between Anchorage
dentist Lee L. McKinley and
the territory’s dental examin
ing board was the subject of a
discussion recently during ses
sions of the Legislative Ex
amination Committee.
Although the official press
release of the committee
meeting made no mention ol
the inquiry into the dental
board’s practices, Dr. Clifford
N. Hoveland, board member,
confirmed the fact that he had
spent two hours last Friday
“talking things over” with
the probing legislators.
Dr. Frank Dorsey, presi
dent of the territorial dental
Association, also participated
in the session.
V
“We were’nt under oath,
just talking things over be
hind closed doors,” Dr. Hove
land said. He added that ht
did’nt feel it was “an attempt
to put anybody on the spot
but was irore in the nature oi
an informative discussion.”
The board has been undei
fire from Dr. McKinley for al
leged bias in its conduct ol
examinations to admit nev
dentists to practice in the ter
ritory.
Kodiak—Dr. Lee L. Me
Kinley told the MIRROI
Tuesday tnat he appeared be
fore the committee in a pri
vate session and that some o
• the men who failed to pasi
the dental exam were alsi
questioned.
“The six who Vrecehtlj
failed to pass the examinatioi
should be called in for com
ment and information. Theii
records should be careful!:
studied. Something is vital;:
i wrong when men of their cali
ber and reputation are no
permitted to practice in th<
territory,” Dr. McKinley de
i dared.
He aid not disclose any o
the discussion that took placi
during the closed meeting las
Friday
“The dental professioi
would benefit if such mei
were permitted to practice,
believe that the application o
all who have failed to pas
should be reviewed and thi
applicants given a chance t<
testify,” Dr. McKinley added
He explained that he ha<
travelled extensively abou
the territory and felt that hi
was conscious of the denta
needs and requirements.
“The opposition will saj
they are trying to protect th(
public and the profession fron
charlatans hut I believe it ii
partially for their own pei
sonal gain,” Dr. McKinle:
stated.
Dr. McKinley has been ii
Kodiak the past week practic
ing.

He told the Anchorage Timei
that reports will not be mad<

a chance to be heard. Furthei
