1000 Physicians
Here Face Call
To Army, Navy
Commissions Offered
Those Who Volunteer;
Draffees Are Privates

Soon II will require a lusty pair
of lungs to call the family doctor,
because he's going in the army.
One thousand of Detroits $500
medical doctors are being CLASH
fed now by a special procurement
and assignment service committee
which works closely with army
and navy. This committee is
headed by DR.. c. d. Mol who, in
cooperation with the 62 hospitals
of Wayne County, is determining
the smallest number of doctors
necessary to care adequately for
this community.
Operations are being speeded
against the possibility of docs
going off to the wars.
CALL FOR THOSE UNDER As
Doctors over As are not likely
10 be called into this war, accord
ing to the procurement and assign
me Mt service committee. At pres
ent most of those 81 years old OF
under are still in voluntary class
/. c., selective service isn't hurry
ing them into service.
There is a new medical wal
board in Detroit. just set up in
the Federal Building and headed
by Lieut.. Col. John G. Slevin
which is empowered to give com
missions shere to doctors.
If doctors wait for their mum.
bers to come up through the Sc.
lective service system, they are
enlisted as privates. The commit
tee hopes to encourage these doc.
tors to apply now to the medical
war board for their commissions
that they may Immediately serve
as doctors and give the most value
to their country.
TWO PLANS CONSIDERED
Facing the committee were
many problems today, one OF
which was what will happen to the
practice of doctors going into serv-
ice. Two plans were being consid.
cred. One was to give a percent
age of the fees of each case into a
fund for the doctor who originally
cared for the patient. The other
was an honor system by which
doctors would return this practice
when the war was over.
However, any definite plan will
doubtless be put to Wayne County
Medical Society's membership as
whole and that one accepted will
be the one to which the most doc.
tors approve.
