DR.. Wilhelmj has notified hos
pitfalls of the fillowing plan Of ac-
ton for mobilizing medical aid in
case of air bombings or other war
emergencies:
When a hospital is notified that
emergency aid is needed in its
zone, the first step will be the i'm
mediate sending of a squad of in
ternes and nurses, and all first aid
equipment, to the site of the dis
aster. Then members Of its first
aid emergency squad of physicians
will be notified to report to the
site. When the teams of physic-
ians reach the site, it has been
suggested that the internes might
be asked to return to the hospital.
After this procedure has been car
ried out, the hospital will call Ger
tain members Of its attending
staff (who are not on emergency
squads) and ask them to report
to the hospital to care for the in
jured who may be sent to that hos
pital."

Mr.. Hascall says that anyone
