oelective Service Boards Here Awaiting Official Call
DRAFT FIGURES
 AID TO DOCTORS
Induction System Great Fact Finding Program
 Says Forum Speaker

"The army draft has been a great fact finding body to the medical profession" Dr. Milton Rose, forum speaker at the Waterbury Medical Association asserted last night. For example, said he we learned that as many as one third of all men ex- amined were rejected because of bad teeth.'
 Dr. Rose Is professor of public health administration at the Uni versity of Pennsylvania school fo medicine. He came here yesterday to deliver an all inclusive address on Total Medical Defense" ex- plaining and defining the various discoveries made by medical boards during examinations of prospective army recruits.
 Against a total war, he asserted, the United States needs total med. ical defense. Indudstrial workers are going to need greater medical at. tention. Increased efforts will be made to improve health facilities in areas neighboring on large army encampments, which means, among other things, the necessity for con- trol of Venereal diseases, one of the greatest problems of the army.
 Dr. Rose posed an important ques- tion: What are we going to do about the thousands of men reject ed in the draft?" The indicated an- swer, said he, is to take those r1en having defective teeth and other faults which can be corrected and make provisions for corrections.
 But" he added what shall we do to insure an adequate supply of doctors? The army is not exempting medical students, or interns, and the supply is not great or even enough at this time."
 He indicated that measures must be taken to insure 8 greater supply of medical men to insure adequate army needs. Dr. Harold J. Root of this city spoke briefly following pr. Roses address.
