Congressmen
Seek To Change
Name Os Cape
WASHINGTON (UPI) — Two
Florida congressmen Wednesday
introduced a joint House-Senate
resolution to change the name
of Cape Kennedy back to Cape
Canaveral.
The measure would not affect
the John F. Kennedy Cpace Cen
ter, which was named by presi
dential order following President
Kennedy’s death in 1963.
Reps. Lou Frey Jr. and Wil
liam Chappell, both D-Fla., said
■changing the name of the ge
orgaphic area from Cape Canav
eral to Cape Kennedy was
“probably a mistake and ni
advised."
But Frey said his main point
■was that “the vast majority of
the people who work and live
in this area adjacent to the
space center, as well as in oth
er parts of Florida, feel the
name should be changed back to
Cape Canaveral.”
It is consdered to be one of
the oldest place names establish
ed by European explorers and
has been traced to Hernando
De Soto, who discovered Florida
450 years ago, Frey said.
The Florida legislature recent
ly unanimously adopted a reso
lution asking that the historic
name be restored.

more Missouri young.people to 1
study medicine. 1
In 1965 the state had 149 1
physicians per 100,000 popula- 1
tion, and it was estimated that ,
by 1975 Missouri would have
only 139 medical doctors per
100,000 population. The law
