DRAFT TEST

Congress recently amended the
draft law, laying down clear-cat
principles regarding the previously
confused question of dependency
The express purpose of the revised
law is to delay the drafting OF mar
ried men and men with dependents
until all other categories have been
exhausted.
Yet today many local draft boards
continue to order married men and
men with dependents to report foi
induction. -
This is not entirely the fault Of
these boards. They are given
monthly quotas to fill and are pres
sured to fill them promptly. The
fault is with the Selective Service
administration in Washington
which has not yet taken measures
to insure uniform application Of
the draft law throughout the coun-
try.
This failure of Selective Service
is due primarily TO one key de-
ficiency - the fact that although

The Medical Decision

New York Times)
How far may organized physicians control the
practice of incidence That they alone are COM
petent to decide what dagnosc and therapeutic pro-
cedures right wrong no one will deny. But
have they the right to prevent lay groups from set
ting up their medical organizations and devising
methods to reduce the cost of good medical care?
This is the issue raised in The action brought by the
Federal Government under the Sherman law against
the American Medical Association and the Medical
Society of the District of Columbia
In upholding the conviction of the two societies
the Court of Appeals of the District of Columbia took
judicial notice of the fact that profound changes in
social and economic conditions have forced all pro-
fessional groups to make readjustments" Many law
yers, engineers chemists now saaried employees
industrial organizations Cooperatives have sprung
up which have made it possible for groups to deal
directly with wholesalers and manufacturers. There
is scientific why medicine should resist the
trend especially since there salared physicians
enough in business HOUSES manufacturing companies
and municipal hospitals 5q,.5 .a tG.t
Assuming that the decision is upheld by the Su-
preme Court, will the private physician disappear?
1t is not likely. He still practices in medically so
cialized" Europe and New Zealand. And should it
be in democracy, which maintains public educa-
tona system without interfering with private schools.
The decision is important chiefly because 1t recog-
nizes the dissatisfaction of large groups of citizens
with the present pattern of medical practice and
their right to organize their medical agencies.
If the decision stands the mist formidable obstacle
to experimentation will be removed. And it is ex-
perimentation under proper control that need be-
fore we undertake legislate medically for the bene
fit of the great number OF people who are normally
unable to meet the heavy expense OF medical care in

The CCC in Alaska has contributed much to the
Territory since it introduced here in 1888. At
first the establishment of the program for the

containing 200 men. In Alaska, the situation was
different Small camps accommodating 80 to IS en-

took supervision for the entire program. The War
Department handled payment of accounts, only
In 1887, the program was extended in Alaska
to include the Eskimos in the Arctic regions. In
spite of the difficulties of supervision isolation of
crews limitations of transportation. the program was
a success there, too. This portion of the program
was discontinued in 1899 because of the danger of
regular monthly paychecks disrupting the Eskimo
economy.
You can see the work of the CCC all over the
Territory The needs of recreation were supplied in
many proiects-the construction of cabins building
of trails docks floats
In the last several years. specifically in the last
year most of the CCC activity has been directed
toward the war effort
An army airfeld was constructed strategic roads
developed trails and community gardens built camps
were provided for armed men But practically all of
the work done by the CCC in the Territory is now
of real value to the National Defense.

But the Quartermaster Corps has made what we
fear is typical male mistake in choosing standard
type of grde.
Regardless of whether the WAAC buges here or
there, she will get the same type No mention is
made-our women's pages tell us--of the unending
controversy between using zppers hooks no dis
