Expected to Permit Official ' to Become Health Head i in Virginia. Speciel Dispatch 10 The Star. RICHMOND, Va., Juné 328.—Gov. | Pollard says that h® has every assur- !ance that Dr. Warren F. Draper, as- sistant surgeon general of the United | States Public Health Service, will be | permitted to accept appointment as Vir- { commissioner. After the post was offered Dr. Draper recently it developed that not only vould Dr. Hugh Cumming, his imme- | diate superior, have to agree to his | being assigned fo the Virginia position, but the Treasury Department would have to give its sanction as well. Dr. | Cumming has already signified that he is in favor of the assignment, but the | approval of the Treasury Department | has yet to b= obtained. "Delay in this connection has been due to the fact hat Secretary Mellon is abroad. Dr. Draper was here yesterday in conference wiih Gov. Pollard about the | matter. He is not being asked to sever bis connection with the United States | Public Health Service. If he did that | it would mean sacrifice of his rank as | assistant surgeon general and of re- tirement pay rights. He is no stranger here, having been on assignment with the Virginia Health ;| Department for several years immedi- ately following the World War. Al- though his headquarters are in Wash- ington he makes his home at Cherry- dale. He is a native of Massachusetts.
