"You stay home and take

Promises
Plenty of
Doctors

CHICAGO. Sept. 2 CINS).-
Although thousands OF physicians
are being drawn into the armed
forces, the American civilian pop
ulation was assured today OF an
supply of doctors.
The assurance came from DR.
Morris Fishbein. editor of the
Journal of the American Medical
Association, who said that 12,00C
doctors have volunteered to be
dislocated for the period of the
and will be sent from
oversupplied areas to areas need
ing medical care.
Before the war we had one
doctor for every 100 persons, a
ratio far higher than any other
country" Doctor Fishbein said.
Now 1-to-1, 800 ALLEGATION
quota has been accepted as
minimum and that ratio can
easily be maintained"

Youngest Hero Lost
Detroit Boy II. Who Joined Navy TO Fight.
Missing in Performance of Duty

az. regret TO inform you
:. missing In the performance
of his duty and In the service
of his country
Thus TO his family. in accord
ance with navy routine, came the
news that the boy who is prob
ably Detroit's youngest war cas-
lualty is reported missing.
That is Louis Yannella, II years
old, who was so anxious to get into
the war that he volunteered as
gunner's mate rather than for a
post which might have advanced
him quicker but which would have
required longer training.
ENLIsTs ON FATHERS DAY
That was on last Fathers Day.
Because il was Fathers Day,
James Yannella, 7045 West Yer
nor highway, accompanied his son
to the navy recruiting station and
stood by without saying much
while his boy. hardly old enough
to shave, swore TO defend, with
his life if need be, the United
States, its Constitution :.
Only a few days ago his family
father, mother. sister, brother
received the first letter they'd had
from him in a long time. A few
WHO read this may have known
Louis Yannella. The many who
didn't can learn much about him
from the letter:
Dear Dad and Nom:

The Elluls' bombing knowledge

in Alexandria. from Italians. from
Nazis. during the daylight and at
night.
There's a difference In the
Italian and German style OF
bombing" Ellul finds. "The Ital-
ians do theirs by moonlight, the
Germans make their own moon
light. They drop flares and light
up a whole city section. They
throw bombs all over the place.
THEIR HOME FLATTENED

tricks Of death. One they used
was TO confuse ground anti
aircraft batteries. They'd send
whole flock of planes In from one
direction. letting the batteries
concentrate on them, then slip
few devils In from the rear, cut
ting under the barrage. And
down would come the bombs"

been bomb-fattened Luckily, that

In all the screaming about doc
tor shortages here and there
since the war got going, lot of
the hypochondriacs who threw
tantrums and tears into their tel
ephc mes if the doc didn't dash
right over have completely for
gotten what the medical situa-
ton in the country was in peace
times.
In the dear, dim days beyond
recall, when depression stalked
the land, the continental United
Sites had in active practise one
doctor for every 1000 inhabi-
tantS, on the average. 1t varied
all the way from one doctor for
every 500 inhabitants in the Dis
trict of Columbia and one doctor
for every 636 in New York state
to one doctor for every 1920 in
Alabama and Mississippi.
But the national average was
one doctor to every 1000 men,
women and children, more than
in any other country in the
world, and no one complained
except the social workers who
thought these should be more
doctors to take care of all the
rural people who weren't get
ting adequate medical care.
During the depression lot of
people were going without doc
tors because they didn't have the
money to pay the bills. Now that
they have more money, many
are catching up with their doc
toring, and that puts a further
strain on doctors and hospitals.
Also, people weren't having ba-
bies much in the depression
years. Now they are.

From his own heart length,
Goren read North's cue bid in
hearts to show a heart void.
Although North had later gone
to slam, he had not made q
jump takeout of the opening
spade bid. Therefore he prob
ably did not have excessive
length and strength in the
black suits. He apparently need
ed the diamond bid to become SO
ambitious. The inference was
then that he held two or three
diamonds, in which case the best
chance to defeat the contract
was to try to give East a dia-
mond ruff. And of course that
is just what happened after the
diamond lead. Goren put the
ace on the first lead of trumps
and led a second diamond A.

slam could have been made
