The expansion of the army Gre
ates a need for about 600 civilian
medical officers in various grades

sion in making this announcement
calls particular attention to the
fact that part-time officers will be
able to continue their regular prac-
tice. In order that this may be
done, appointments to the part
time positions will be made of

concerning these positions may be
obtained from the Secretary of the
