For active duty, the Army and Navy want the doctors under 35. But 42,000 won't fill the quota for the services, so they must reach into the second age group to get the most active men who are un- der 45. By the end of this year, the armed services will have com- missioned 45,000 doctors, includ- ing 5000 internes right out of the hospitals, who have never prac- ticed privately a day in their lives. For 1943, the services have been told they can have 10000 more doctors.
 Knock this 55,0O0 of of the 148000 available and you have left 93,00O doctors who must take care of the civilian population. Deduct the physicians who man the faculties of the s77 medical schools, the institutions the men in industrial medical service, the Public Health Service people and other essential doctors who can't be moved and you will have left a minimum of 8O,O0o doctors to care for an estimated 120 million peo- pie. It figures out at one doctor for every 1,5O0 civilians.
 STILL WAY AHEAD
 How does that compare with the pre-war figures? It means that every doctor in civilian practice will have to take care of l50 patients for every 100 he was taking care of in peace times. Is that burden? Well, there were fourteen states in the Union where the doctors were spread that thin in peace times, and they got along.
 Tn recruiting doctors for the Army and Navy, however, the Procure ment and Assignment Service tried to make quota for each state.
 It was a good theory. but it didn't take into consideration the patriotic desires of a lot of doctors to apply for commissions on their own hook. Tn Louisiana. for in- stance, it was almst impossible to make the young doctors stay home. The result was that quotas have been overfilled in all the states but five. To correct that situation, today doctors are being recruited only in New York. Pennsylvania Massachusetts, Ohio Illinois and California.
 In the other 43 states, doctor couldn't get commission today if he tried.

Finally, there is grave doubt whether the plants can be finished on time. They are due to be completed July, 1943, seven months hence. But many experts be- lieve they will not be finished and actually in operation until January, 1914. That is why Baruch warner Walter Teagle that if his plants weren't finished on time he might as well jump in the river.
 Some people now are speculat- ing that this may have been why Teagle and two presidents of Standard, Edward J. Sadler and D. L. Harper, resigned this week.
 Anyway with the midwest now boiling mad over gas rationing, people are going to be a lot madder of synthetic rubber doesn't come into production on time.
 NOTE-First synthetic rubber plant will start operating in about two weeks, but this is an alcohol plant, not the slower, more eX- pensive petroleum process, which the Baruch Committee believed would produce the best rubber in the end.
 OUT-TALKING ROOSEVELT
 It was President Roosevelt him. self who gave Andrew Jackson Higgins his contract to build l. 200 wooden-plastic airplanes. The Army-Navy had little to do with it. When the President inspected Hig- gins landing-boat plant in New Orleans, he invited the veteran boat-builder ito visit him in Wash ington.
 Later Higgins called on the President. Most callers find that the President does most of the talking, and in this case, FDR started the conversation by say ing:
 'I want to talk to you"
 "That won't do any good" shot back Higgins, T want to talk to you"
 And he did - to the tune of a 1900 plane contract. White House aides say he is one of the few men who has Out-talked the President.

grounds that his mother was de-

Col Nelson's statement followed
closely publication of comment by

mother, a former Salvation Army

operation and that she would have
suffered undue Hardship had he
been drafted.
Mr. EStrem was quoted as saying:

was deserved and l know the draft

RON, Unoccupied France, March

dier. defending himself against an
accusation of being partly respon-
sible for Frances war defeat,

trialists sabotaged war factories to
slow down arms production.
He named specifically the
Schneider -Creuzot steel trust which
he declared refused to form q joint
government-private industry COM
bine to manufacture arms in North

fore the special war guilt" court, M.

made to Schneider -Creuzot after all
arms plants in France had been ma
tionalized by former Premier Leon
Blums government in 1896.
Following the Schneider-Creuzot
refusal. NJ Daladier said, he ap-
preached Edgar Brandt, another
arms manufacturer, who first &C
cepted the suggestion. then backed
down. The plan eventually was ac-
cepted. however. just before the out
break of the war, when 'it was too
late" M. Daladier testified.
He likewise charged Schneider
Creuzot with "isolating" nationalized
steel plants by refusing to let the
rest of their combine. representing
all phases of iron and steel manu-
facture, to Cooperate with them.
The former Premier also accused
M. Brandt directly of sabotage, as
serting the steel producer stole
plans for manufacturing so and 80
millimeter mortars from his own
plan at Chatillon after the factory
had been nationalized.
The plans were taken from the
plant in a truck one night in De-
