Medical Problem Solving the (New York Times) Army assigns about 6.5 medical officers t care for 1,000 enlisted men. The British sald to be 4.75. Does it follow that our forces are over-doctored? down from a time when the Army was small and | that force of 10,000,000 can do with less. Wre shall never know unless a thorough, impartial survey of the new Army’s medical needs is made. Without such a survey the families of men now in service would resent any attempt at ‘“de-doctoring” Army, which is what Senator Pepper’s committec implies when it speaks of tremendous over- militarization” of medical car Even if it were found that the ratio of medical officers to enlisted men could be lowered by as much as 20 percent, we could not solve the medical problem presented 400 industrial areas which have been stripped most of their doctors, which have few hospitals and which are now vast culture tubes of disease. Nor would it do any good to follow Charles P. Taft's advice, given before the American Health Association, and refrain from conscripting cur full quota of military doctors until Army units ready for front-line action The national health problem is largely Our are one of organizing and distributing the physicians still avail-| able. Hence the recommendation of Senator Pepper’s committee that some civilian agency be created with power to act. But te create such an agency, or to the Procurement and Assignment Service the power it seeks, means duplication of the United States Public Health Service or conflict with We have seen what clashes of authority mean in raising industrial production to a war level. Now it is seriously proposed to make a similar mistake in medical matter A totalitarian war cannot be fought without cen- tralized control. If we rid ourselves of Governmental | restrictions after the last war, we can do so again. Since the Public Health Service is already organized to care for the people's health, its powers should be ed for the duration of the war, so that it mas rationally distribute doctors, who will drafted, and assure them financial security proper scientific facilities. and th Age of Insects (Philadelphia have often thought we Insects, but our worst the appearance of Record We Age of the ized until Edwin W Teale.

But there also is a coal shortage! in the States due to the winter and wholesale conversion of many oil furnaces to coal furnaces, due to the oil shortage.
