WRONG ASSIGNMENT
SURGEONS DURING WAR
N. Y. PHYSICIAN ASSERTS

st. Louis, May 3.-American wounded
in the war did not receive the attention
they, should have BECAUSE surgeons were
not properly assigned, DR.. George E..
Brewer Of New York. president of the
American Surgical Association, asserted
at the opening session of the associa-
tions's convention here today
DIR. Brewer served as a colonel over
seas with the medical corps, and he sug-
gested that a chief consultant be ap-
pointed to have authority over the
treatment Of wounded.
Under this plan. he explained, there
would be deputy chief consultant for
each unit in the field. These consult
ants, he said, would be responsible for
the treatment of the wounded, leaving
the duties of the medical corps officers
to be principally administrative.
The old plan of control by regular
army officers" DR.. Brewer declared,
who did not appreciate fully that sur
gerry had become a. specialized science
received in many misfits. such as the
assignment of distinguished neurolo-
gists to general medical service"
