WASHINGTON, Aug. 1.


From the present outlook, Congress may
have to be called on to undo the serious
snarl of red tape involving General Crowd

General Gorgas, snarl which threatens
not only the integrity Of the medical schools
of the country, but also the immediate and
continuous supply OF doctors ior poth the
army and navy.

MEDICAL MEN HERE
RAP CROWDER'S PLAN
Temple and University of Penn
sylvania Deans Show Fallacy
OF Drafting Young Doctors

The order Of General Crowder which pre-
vents drafted medical students from fin
ishing their education before going into
the countrys service and his contention
that the men can continue their medical
studies to better advantage under the med
ical corps Of the United States army has
met with considerable disapproval by the
heads Of medical schools In Philadelphia
1t is contended by many that General
Crowder's order forcing the students into
service before they have opportunity for
hospital work Is unfair to the student and
menace to the country. The generals
assertion that the medical students taken
In the general draft could continue their
medical studies to the best advantage under
the medical corps Of the United States army
met with no end Of opposition.
1t was pointed out by several physicians
that the student would be unable to obtain
number Of phases of the medical work
essential to his progress.
AS far as Pennsylvania was concerned,
he would not be able to pass the examina-
ton of the State board with such limited
experience and would be obliged to serve
a year in hospital at the end of the war.
When asked his Views concerning Gen.
eral Crowder's plan, DR.. Frank c. Ham,
mond. dean of Temple University Medical
School, said:
'It would be very great handicap to
the students who were forced into service
under such a plan. England did the same
thing; now she is taking her students out
Of the service and sending them back to
the medical schools
There are many phases OF medical work
which cannot be obtained in the military
service. There Is not time to teach the
students nor are there facilities for such
instruction. Why not leave them here one
year now for hospital work? II the present
graduates are pushed into the army service
on their return they must put in one year
in a hospital. II student Is at the front
four years the Pennsylvania State Board
will only give him credit for three months
hospital experience"
Similar views were expressed by DR.. Allen
j. Smith, acting dean Of the University OF
Pennsylvania Medical School.
THE students should be kept In the
school until they finish their medical
studies" he said, then they could be sub
ject to call when 1t was absolutely neces-
sary."
