By the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, Feb. 16.-Dr. Ray Ly-
man Wilbur declared today there
Is real danger If we accept an infe-
rior sort of medical attention for
our population" during war time.
Our principal civilian problem
will be to save the time of the
trained physicians retained at home
so that, in spite of reduced num-
bers, they can give satisfactory and
effective scientific care" He said in
an address to the 38th annual Con-
greSs Of Medical Education and Lii
censure.
DR.. Wilbur. president of Stanford
University. is chairman of the Amer
ican Medical Associations Council
on Medical Education and Hos
pitals.
1T Is almost inevitable" he said,
that the various cultists, with their
cheaper training, will not be used to
any extent in meeting the emergen-
cies Of war but that they will be left
at home.
IF we permit them to take over
in any way the care of consider
able part Of our population we are
going to pay heavy price"

BALTIMORE, Feb. Is. = The
American people want this Govern
ment shaken down to q wartime
basis" with all the frills eliminated
and every dollar made to count" )"
Senator Tydings, Democrat, Of
Maryland, declared in a Sunday
radio broadcast.
They want production from the
industrial plants and shipyards, and
not stoppages," Senator Tydings
said.
We cannot win this war by treat
ing the American people like chill
dren. They are not stupid They
want this whole machinery stripped
for action-and they don't want 1t
tomorrow. they want 1t now"
The Senator declared he was dis
satisfied with the prosecution of this
war" and criticized the confusion
of alphabetical agencies" waste of
public money" and the same old
crowd of incompetents who are
transferred from one bureau to
another"
It believe the time has come to
tell the truth; to clean house; to
quit running this war as New Deal
war or an old deal war, or a Demo-
cratic war or q Republican war.
This Is everybody's war"

planning that "the action Of the
committee is based upon the promise
that In as much as price-control

other agency Of the Government,
the need for voluminous antitrust
activity Is not justified"
The committee also cut about
$38, 900 of the budget estimate of
$423,270 for the War Effort Unit,
saying that its proposed staff of 140
employees "is larger than will ac-
tually be required"
The committee approved six addi-
tions to the staff of the Secretary
of Commerce, but cut one proposed
salary from $500 to $4.600, and two
at 1870 to 40. 1t also cut $685.

Bureau of Foreign and Domestic
Commerce, leaving 81 ,4S5, ,000 The
committee took $283, 900 OF salaries
here and $S5 900 in the field, ex-
planning that there are many nom
defense services being rendered by
the bureau that can be postponed
at this time in consideration for the
need for economy In non-defense
expenditures"
The committee also recommended
that duplicated effort be eliminated
by allowing Maritime Commission
inspectors to inspect vessels for
safety and seaworthiness factors
when they are conducting their
general inspection. The Bureau of
Marine Inspection and Navigation
now looks to the safety and sea-
worthiness of ships.
An item of $500 for reclassifica-
tion Of the salaries OF law clerks
and secretaries to Federal circuit
judges was eliminated. To the
courts this admonition was added:
THE once of Administrator OF
United States Courts is a compare
lively small agency, and as such
every effort should be made at hav-
ing all divisions highly integrated
and avoid the processes Of bureau
cracy and divisionalism that become
a part and parcel of the larger

tremely difncult to predict a year in

penses," the report said
Again, it is realized that in rare
instances emergencies arise that de-
mand the appointment of additional
personnel Immediately (and such
contingencies are permitted by the
Anti-Deficiency Act) and that to
brook any delay that might be at
tendant upon submitting a def
cheney request to Congress therefor
would possibly interfere with the
transaction of the emergent public
business The subcommittee holds
no brief for any administrative
agency that finds it necessary to
vary in some few particulars from
the actual schedule of proposed ex-
penditures submitted at the
time the budget is prepared. On the
other hand. If specific positions are
approved by the subcommittee in
express terms, funds for the COM
pensation of these positions or other
objects of expenditure should be
used, if at all, for the purpose spe-

mite and for no other, even though
legally there wuold be no inhibition

Where conditions of emergency
make it necessary that additional

responsibility of making appropria-
tions for the particular unit de-
string such authority. Con-
gress is jealous of its prerogattive

and particularly must its re-
sponsibilities in this connection be

The committee recommended
$920, 900 for Ramspeck Act increases
in the three departments and the
courts, as follows: State, $124, ,370:
Justice, $39l, 1893; Commerce, $780,
49l, and Judiciary, s34,141.
The State Department received
$4,975, 900 for all salaries here, which
was an increase of $1,385, ,240 over
the 1912 figure, but $48,500 under
budget estimates. This will necessi-
tate some reduction in the number
Of employees 1t was intended to add,
it was explained. The department
had proposed to hire IS permanent
employees and 439 in emergency
capacities. In this connection, the
committee said that whenever there
was any doubt whether new en-
ployment should be of q tempo
rary or permanent character, the
doubt should be definitely resolved"
in favor of the former.
The increased appropriation for
the Justice Department was due
largely to an addition of $500, 900

Samuel H. DAmbruOsO of Derby Receives Gold Bars,
 Silver Wings at Midland Texas Flying School

Army Flying School, Midland Texas, July 1-New gold bars and silver wings glittered in the Texas sun today as this arsenal of Amer ican offense, the worlds largest bombardier school, graduated its fourth and largest class of Hell from Heaven Men," including three bombardiers from Connecticut.
 The new second lleutenants in the Army Air Forces were imme- diately assign ed to active du.y with out even chance to take time off to admire their newly decorated chests and soldiers. Some will leave immediately for combat duty; oth- CTS will be kept as instructors for the endless stream of American youth yet to be trained, according to It. Col. Richard H. Smith, direc- tor of training.
 A few will remain to take part in the July Fourth bombing of an immense model of Tokyo, which Brigadier General Isaiah Davies, commanding general, has planned as dress rehearsal of things to come" to dramatize the paramount part played by the bombardiers in Americas fight for life.

YOUTH
 FACING CHARGES
Harold Ellis One of Three Seized at MiIIdaIe;
 Break Frustrated

Southington, July 1-Three youths were apprehended Tuesday morning at the home of Hiram Davison on the Meriden- Waterbury Turnpike in Milldale by Policeman Walter s. Hushak and State Policeman Charles L. Flanagan and Edward Dooling of the Bethany Barracks.
 The trio arrested and charged with breaking entering and theft were; Ernest Ferris, IT, of 1878 Park Street, Hartford, who formerly lived at the Davison home; George Alyk, IT, of 1854 Main Street. Hartford who police say deserted from the Navy while stationed on the USS Massachusetts last April, and liar cid Ellis, l6, of Plymouth Hill, Ply mouth.
 MT. Davison, who works on a night shift in a factory, was awak- ened when he heard noise in the house and when ne went to investi- gate he found Ferris in the house. MT. Davison held Ferris while he telephoned police and the three po- icemen who were at Police Head quarters responded and arrested Ferris and his two companions who were out in the yard at the Davison home.
 The three youths were questioned at length about break at the store at the Southington Recreation Park Tuesday and after being questioned the charges were placed against the trio. Police Chief Edward F. Geary said that in addition to the charges made here, the youths admitted four breaks In Plainville and one in Pennington recently.
 Chief Geary said the trio will be arraigned in Town Court at 8 spe- cial session Wednesday and 1t is possible Alyk will be turned over to Government agents to be returned to the Navy to face desertion CuATReS.

Samuel D'Ambruoso, 46 Atwater avenue, Derby; and Daniel R. Dugan, son of MT. and Mrs. M. J. Dugan, 172 Beacon avenue, New Haven.
 A graduate of Pratt Institute Brooklyn, N. Y, LieYt HolmStrom is sports enthusiast, lettering in baseball and boxing. Previous to en- tering the air forces he was a con- mercial artist.
 Lieut.. D'Abruoso attended Provi- dence College, Providence, R. l., and received his Ph B. in 1941. While In school he was outstanding in music and dramatics.
 A baseball fan, Lieut.. Dugan was a service station attendant prior to becoming an aviation cadet in search of wings and a commission.
 Specially chosen for their heroic role by a series of stiff mental and physical tests, the graduate bom- bardie-s represent a true cross-sec- ton of the bloodstrains and occupa- tons that make up America.
 In twleve short weeks, they learn the technique of winning the war, the dangerous art that will enable them to follow those air force bom- bardiers who are already proving their mettle in the skies over the Mediterranean, Alaska and Tokyo
 To become one of "the most dan. gerous men in the world" the fedgling bombardier goes through kindergarten period on the ground, studying the theory of bombardment aviation and the mys- teries of the potent weapon of his profession-the super-secret United States bombsight. While still on the ground, they also learn to bomb from the "highchair," an ingenious bombing trainer on stilts
 "Highchair" Training
 When they've become proficient in the theory, when they've mastered the "highchair," they leadn by do- ing. Crouched over bombsights in the greenhouse" nose of their training planes they go cut to blast targets-scattered over more than eighty miles of barren prairie-with hundreds of 1o0-pound practice bombs.
 Their life while in training is planned down to the last detail. It has to be, for it's urgent that the bombardiers be able to jump imme- diately into their duties as officers. Careful physical training, good food, rest and recreation groom them for their exacting job.
 The resuS of their training can be seen in communiques from the battlefronts. It's the bombardier who sinks the ships and puts the Sun day punch" into our war in the air.
