New Haven, Conn, July 27-Say- ing that the wninnig of this war is the most important single objective ever placed before the U. s. medical profession, Dr. Creighton Barker, state chairman of the Procurement and Assignment Service, today cited the tremendous need of doctors by the armed services.
 Quoting from an editorial in the Journal of the American Medical Association, Dr. Barker said that there is distinct disparity between the applications coming through various routes directly to the Office of the Surgeon General of the Army, to the Air Force and to the Navy, and the number that ought to be immediately available.
