just as much imperilled as the life of a combat soldier This war has to be fought on the ene- my's terms. The Japanese terms are death by bayonet, starvation or even worse. The Japanese kill or are killed. The Japanese think you will be unable to match their sacrificial spirit, their willingness to conquer or die.
 All of us in saying a goodbye to our own overseas-bound man or woman in uniform offer him or her our pledge of support. The test of our sincerity is our will lingness to sacrifice. If you have restricted your War Bond buying in the Sixth War Loan to what yeu can comfortably spare. you have failed to recognize your re- responsibilities as a relative or friend of fighting man.

Averting Illness
Greatest OF All
Social Problems
PhYsicidn Says Universal
Medicine Is A Necessity
Thut Can't Be Postponed

Philadelphia ULNS). = Universal
medicine is a social necessity and can
not be indefinitely postponed" in the
opinion of Dr. Edward G. Conklin,
Professor Emeritus of Biology at
Princeton University and president of
the American Philosophical Society.
The great amount of preventable
sickness and incapacity for useful
work is lone of the greatest if not the
very greatest, of all social problems"
Dir. Conllin told graduates of the Uni
versity of Pennsylvania schools of
medicine
Question OF Means, Methods
The current discussion concerning
the relative merits of SocialiZed medi-
cine as contrasted with individual or
private practice is not so much ques-
ton of aims and ideals as of means
and Methods DR.. Conklin declared.
THE aims and ideals of the medical
profession are now and have always
been essentially atruiStic and hunlani-
| laGlal Dul lnefe are quite lldtuTdllH
differences of opinion as to the best
methods of putting these ideals into
practice" he said. The real question
is how the advances of medical science
can be made most widely available to
those who need them
Drawing a parallel between the
growth of education, which at first was
private, and medicine, Dr. Conklin said
there is room and need for both pri
vate and public systems in education
and medicine, and added:
but there are strong currents at
present making for the greater social
iZation of both education and medi-
cine.
War To Affect Medicine
"The Russian social revolution has
affected all nations, and now this world
war for democracy and against autoc-
racy and special privilege is likely to
affect both education and medicine in
Il new world order after the war.
I'VE may expect that men and
women who have served and suffered
for the ideals of democracy will not
readily abandon those ideals when they
return to civil life

CIVIL SERVICE

Despite prevalent notion that members OF the

Government the fact that they may be discharged
summarily at the will of any agency chief. The law
provides only that they must be notified in advance
of the charges against them and afforded an oppor
tunty reply to them, writing But the law does
not entitle them to any personal hearing or to- an
appeal to the Civil Service Commission This is to be
changed however, in the near future-changed, that
is so far as veterans and their dependents who
receive preference eligibility concerned. The rest
of the civil service will remain defenseless
before
The recently enacted Starnes-Scrugham law sets
up protective procedure for any permanent or in
definite preference eligible who has completed pro-
stationary trial period employed in the civil service
Before any such person be discharged suspended
furloughed without pay reduced in rank, he must
be given 30 days written notice, stating all reasons
specifically and in detail for any such proposed
action" Then the person is to be given reasonable
time to answer the charges personally as well as in
writing and furnish affidavits in support of his
answer. And finally, he is to have the right OF
appeal to the Civil Service Commission from an
