ARMY HOSPITALS
TO Be STANDARD
Surgeon General Seeks to
Include All Units on
College List.

Maj. Gen. Robert U. Patterson,
surgeon general of the Army, has
taken steps further to improve and
standardize the service of Army sta
ton and general hospitals, SO they
will be maintained on a standard
well above the minimum required by

Study of the list of Government hos
pitfalls approved by the American
College Of Surgeons indicates the
number of Army medical institutions
on that list is far less than the num-
Der for any other important Gov
eminent service. THIS situation is a
result, Gen. Patterson explained, Of
the failure of the medical department
to take the necessary steps to secure
recognition by the American College
of Surgeons. Immediate steps will be
taken by the surgeon general toward
securing recognition Of these hospi-
tails by the above organization.
