examiners:
"Don't think for a moment
that we are asking deferment.

Slow
To Heed Appeal

There has been no immediate
reaction here by local medical men
TO the Presidents appeal that
1000 young American doctors
volunteer for British medical re-
iiief, Wayne County Medical ASso-
sciation officers said today.
Other medical sources pointed
out that with 5000 new army doc
tors needed in the American Army
by July /, it was doubtful whether
r7any young doctors would want
TO leave this country for foreign
army service.
Furthermore, 1t was said, a
shortage of medical men in this
country may be created because
rartly-trained medical students
are not being deferred in the draft,
although the government is seek
ing to increase the enrolment OF
freshman medical students.
Under the terms of the doc
tors-for- Britain" plan, you G
American medicos would serve as
lieutenants in the Royal Army
Medical Corps without changing
their status as American citizens
or actually entering British mill
tary service. They would help 10
meet the shortage of doctors in
both military and civilian hospitals
In Britain.

Why No D. {. Police
Are at F. B. |. School
Chief Says Two Officers
Filed Their Applications
Several Months Ago

A letter will be addressed today
to Police Supt Ernest w. Brown by
Representative Hebert, Democrat,
OF Louisiana asking full informa-
ton on why no Washington police
men are enrolled in the 18th ses-
sion of the National Police Acad-
emy now under way at the Federal
Bureau of Investigation.
Mr.. Hebert, sponsor of the recent
congressional investigation Of the
Police Department, said he would
wait for the official reply from Mai.
Brown before taking further action.
The police head said today that
1t. Earl Hartman, head of the
special Investigations squad. anc
1t. Lorraine johnson of No. l Pre-
cinct had filed applications several
months ago, but have not been ac-
cepted because the F. B. l. class is
full. The class has SO members.
The school, known as the West
Point of Law Enforcement" has
graduated SOL police officers from
various State and municipal forces
throughout the Nation.
Senator Herring, Democrat, of
Iowa said the lack of Washington
policemen in the class shows either
lack of interest" on the part of
police officials here in not having
more men apply or lack of appre-
citation" by the F. B. l. for the need
of more highly trained officers here.
Senator Herring said, however, he
would take no action in connection
with the situation, but rather would
continue to press for passage of his
bill that would authorize the F. B. l
to investigate serious crimes here.

Has One Daughter.
Mr.. Mason lives at the West
chester Apartments with Mrs.
Mason. the former Louise Urquhart
Burges. They have one daughter,
Mrs. Humphrey Peake Harnsberger,
who lives in suburban Washington.
The new appointee is descendant
of old American families on both
his paternal and maternal sides
and at least one of his ancestors
served in each of the Nations wars
from the Revolution to the Spanish
American War when Mr.. Mason
himself represented the family. He
was rejected for World War service
because of a wrist injury incurred
during his previous Army duty.
Mr.. Mason was born in Pierston,
Ind. He received his early educa-
ton in the public schools of New
Jersey and New York and enlisted
in the United States Cavalry at the
outbreak of the Spanish American
War. After later Army service in
the Philippines he was honorably
discharged and came to washington
in 1904
PLAYED Professional Baseball.
The latter part of his Army tour
had been in Texas and he had
played professional baseball there
with San Antonio of the Texas
League. On his arrival in Washing
ton he had a tryout with the Wash

second baseman, but in his own
words, 1T was too fast company
for me"
He then went 10 work as sur
veyor for the telephone company,
continuing his education under the
tutoring Of Father Garvin. retired
Roman Catholic missionary.
In 1906 Mr.. Mason began his news
paper career as cub reporter on
the Washington Post. Later that
year he left the Capital to work in
the Press Bureau of the jamestown
Exposition, and it was at that time
that he met the present Mrs. Mason,
daughter of a physician in South
ampton County. Va. They were
married soon after their meeting,
and in 1907 returned to Washington
where Mr.. Mason took a reportorial
job on the Washington Herald.

additional service and release those
who decline. Under the Truman
plan, however, all future selectees
would be retained for the duration
of the emergency.
Senator Wheeler. Democrat, of
Montana. a down. the line opponent
of administration foreign policy,
said the opposition probably would
base its fight on an effort to sub
stitute the Truman program for that
of the administration. He argued
that the Truman plan would tend
to lift Army morale, but that morale
would suffer If the Government
breaks its contract with the men
who were assured they would have
to remain in service for only year ="
Senator Nye. Republican, of North
Dakota, like Senator Wheeler an
opponent of administration foreign
policy, told reporters there was no
need Ito fear mass exodus of our
troops" if selectees were permitted to
leave at the end of years training.
The enrolment of both the Sc
lectees and the National Guard is
staggered" Senator Nye declared.
The release of these troops would
come in the nine months starting
in October and as fast as they were
released additional selectees could
be brought in.
The argument that to excuse the
troops at the end of their year would
disorganize our fighting forces is
the entertainment of fear with
