 Discussion

Among the business to be dis cussed at tonight's meeting of the board of aldermen will be the re- quested zoning change made by the Stokes funeral establishment SO that it's owners might change their pres- ent place of business on Riverside street to the corner of Highland avenue and Lawlor street.

Medical Student Proves Bad Medicine For NaziS; He's Top U. s. Air Ace Now

worker until about the time of the first World War, when he became machinist in an oil City shop, continuing in that work until he decided to launch his feed and food store in 1927. Since that time the store has absorbed most of the time and interest of the family. Francis lived the normal life of an Amer lean boy as he grew up. working for his father and taking whatever op- portunity offered to dip over to the garage near the store and watch and talk to the mechanics.
 Things began to happen fast af- ter he left Notre Dame in 1o40. He went to Parks Air College, East St. Louis, H., then to Maxwell Field, Ala. After receiving his com mission, lie was sent to Hickam Field, Hawaii, only a short time before the Pearl Harbor attack.
 What happened on that grim day, not even his parents have ever been able to get him to tell The grudgipg words, T was in the air." are all the story he ever told on his one brief visit home in July, I9l1.
 ENGAGED
 After his flying trip to oil City, Colonel dabfeshi went to Eng land, where he joined the Polish Squadron and won the Polish Gross of Valor, for diving in to shoot down Q Naxi plane about to knock down the craft of his com mander.
 He reJoined the American Air Force and the world has watched his rise to become the top Amer ican ace, holding the Distinguished Service Gross, Distinguished Fly ing Cross and other decorations.
 But there is another side to his life, to which he looks forward after the war. Tn Hawaii he met Kay Cochran, a i7-year.old Grand Rapids. Mich, girl who was staying with her uncle, Col. Q. B. Bruce, and who decided she would like to be the wife of Q Pennsylvanian physi- clan. They had become engaged be- fore he left the Islands, and now she and Mrs. Bruce are waiting ir a little Wisconsin town for the two Colonels to come home from the war.

PRIEST ACTIVE AT l CIRCUS TRAGEDY
Rev. Joseph C. Murphy, Just Ordained, Admin-
 isters Last Rites

While firemen still played water on the charred ruins of the Ringing Bros. Circus in Hartford last Thurs day, Rev. Joseph c. Murphy, a young Waterbury priest. adminis- tered last rites to 35 of the vic- tins.
 Fr. Murphy, son of the late John and Mary (Callahan) Murphy, was among isx Waterbury men ordained at St. Josephs cathedral in Hart ford May 18. He celebrated his first Mass here May 2l.
 He was assigned to St. Justin'S church in Hartford, and was in the church rectory when he was sum- moned to the circus grounds Thurs day.
 Mrs. Howard P: Hart, chairman of the nurses aides for Waterbury chapter of the Red Cross reveals that more than 70 local nurses aides have volunteered their services to assist in Hartford hospitals since the circus disaster. Authorities in Hartford have so far called for IS of hte volunteer group.

cent from civilian sources. In Feb. ruary, however, the Army Special ized Training Program was drastic- ally curtailed and in April, the Sel- ective Service System abolished all further deferments of students not enrolled in medical schools by July l.. l944. The effect of this action was to reduce entering classes by an estimated 25 to 90 per cent. in- creasing to 47 per cent the number to be obtained from women and physically disqualified males.
 "The threat to medical care en- tailed in these policies was pointed out to General Hershey, the secre- taries of the War and the Navy, the president and others" the repre- sentative of the State Medical so- ciety said. Suggestions to correct the situation were rejected, how ever, on the grounds that the need for medical care in the future was subordinate to the acute needs of the fighting forces for young men.
 Another threat to medical educa- ton and medical care has arisen in the Army appropriations bill. passed by Congress n June. The bill spec. flies that funds appropriated under the Act will not be available to pay the expense incidental to the edu- cation of medical and dental stu dents if such expense was not cov- cred by the appropriation for the fiscal year prior to June 2, 1944 provision appears to climate the 2e per cent of places in medcal classes to be filled by the Army and now raises to 69 per cent the number of students to be obtained from women and physically disqualified males. II is obvious that nothing approach ing this number of qualified civil. ians is available and classes through out the country will probably be only-filled.
 If this situation stands. the an- nual number of medical graduates after the war may drop to 2.500 This is an alarming prospect when 1t 1t considered that $500 to $500 phy- sicians die each year.
 Physicians realize that the nation faces new and increasing demands fer medical service. the State So- ciety declares. and should give full support to the bill introduced by Congressman Miller and now pend- ing before the House Committee on Military Affairs, which proposes to modify these policies which place in jeopardy the natonal health and welfare.

State Medical Group
 Advocates Deferrnents
Present Army, SeIective Service Policies Protested
 Serious Deficit of Doctors Predicted

Urging the medical profession of this state to protest against present Army and Selective Service policies in the deferment of medical and pre-medical students, the Con- necticut State Medical society warns that persistence in these policies will result in an annual deficit of 2,000 doctors. United action by phy- sicians, medical schools and hos pitals is vital in view of the presi- dents refusal to interfere with the Selective Service orders, banning occupational draft deferments for pr-medical students after July 1.
 Civilian and military needs could have been met reasonably well, according to the spokesman for the society, by the arrangement in which 55 per cent of the entering medical school classes would be pro- vided by the Army Specialized Training program, 25 per cent by the Navy v-12 program and 20 per

The Army KnotUs AH The AnslOers--Any Questions?

Q. What is the penalty for a sol- dier charged with biganly now serv- ing overseas; also does his allotment for a wife and child stop and is he dishonorably discharged in time ot war2 L. S., New Bedford, Mass.
 A. Foreign service does not ex- cuse 8 soldier for trial by court martial on a charge of bigamy. If the facts warrant a trial and con- viction of the offense follows, con- finement for term of years may be imposed by a general court martial Whether dishonorable discharge is suspended or not, the allotment ceases upon confinement. Usually a dishonorable discharge is imposed by the court upon conviction fol bigamy.

oil City, Pa., July 10-Lt. Col. Francis s. Gabreski of oil City had planned a quiet career as a physi- clan before the war made him bad medicine for the Nazis.
 Today he's the flyer who tops all other American aces with 28 planes shot down in aerial combat.
 Quiet and soft--spoken, he worked in his fathers grocery store after school and on vacation. He always showed an interest in mechanics, however, and worshipped airplanes from afar.
 When the Air Cadet program gave him the chance, he left his premedical work at Notre Dame and enlisted in the Air Corps.
 His parents, proud of their elder son Thaddeus, who had just corn- pleted his work at Notre Dame and Jefferson Medical College and be- gun practice in oil City, objected at first. Francis convinced them that he would have to go into the Army soon anyway, and won their consent.
 He was the first member of his family to enter service before the beginning of the war. Now all tht Gabreski children are in service, ex- cept his older sister Lottie, who stays at home to help her father in the store.
 LIKED MECHANICS
 Dr. GabresN donned a uniform soon after Pearl Harbor, and is now an Army psysician in India with the rank of Major. His youngest broth CT Max, who reached his eighteenth birthday this year, is in Navy boot camp at Sampson, N. Y. The other sister, Bernice, has joined the Nurse Cadet Corps and is in training at an Erie, Pa, hospital.
 Colonel Gabreski is the son of Polish immigrant parents who came to this country seeking work. His father, Stanley, 5S, came to America in 1909 and se- crued a job as laborer for the Pennsylvania Railroad. Two years later, his mother, who had not known her future husband in the old country, left Poland with a girl friend mad found employment here

HORSE MARKET
 THRIVES AMID WAR PLANTS

Detroit, July 10 (UP)-"Factory farmers" are among the best cus- toners of Julius Jacobs, who does Q thriving business almost in the shadow of Chrysler Corps spraw- ling De Soto plant-selling horses.
 Factory farmers are war workers who farm a small patch of ground Jacobs explained. Four or five of them chip in together and get a work horse for SIS or $80 for spring and summer, and in the fall sell 1t to a horse butcher for table use or dog meat, depending on the horse.
 No war baby, Jacobs business has operated in the same spot for 31 years, he said. and business is good, thank you. Before the war he said sales ran as high as 170 head a day. Riding Horses in Demand
 "Best business today is saddle horses" he said. People got more money than they know what to do with. Lots of big farms in Michi- gan now have two, three head of riding horses where before they didn't have any. Gas rationing helps too" ..
 Good riding horses today bring anywhere from $100 to $500 at auc- tion, he said, with a good market for broke Western ponies sent here by train or truck from Montana, Nebraska and Wyoming. Jacobs himself is proprietor, auc- tioneer and the hired help. On auc- ton days every Friday dealers from all over the state bring their own help or pitch in to chase horses around the ring.
 Though almost within neighing distance of the Ford Motor Co., $ Dearborn plant the barn has au- thentic atmosphere. You can almost see the one Ranger looking calm and purposeful, or hear Gene Autry caroling about sage brush and desert moons.
 Feeds His Retlnue Bow-legged characters right out of Republic pictures lounge around wearing high-heeled boots, noisy plaid shirts and 10-gallon hats. Jacobs feeds them, at least part of them, on a table with a bona fide red-and-white-c checked t a ble cloth.
 Though business is good, Jacobs looks unhappy when he starts talk ing about the future of work horses.
 "In another year there'll be no work horses at all if people don't raise more feed and keep them through the winter instead of work ing them to death and then selling them in the fall," he predicted. "In New Jersey alone they kill 100 head week just to feed people. Then there's the dog-food packers everywhere. Used to be they canned the meat, but now with rationing folks buy fresh horse meat for IS to IT cents a pound and keey 1t at home in the refrigerator for their dog.
 Sees Dearth of Horses
 Isn't nobody raising good horses any more. One of these days people will wake up and there won't be any horses for small farmers and factory guys who raise their own | food"
 Jacobs said farmers and breeders in Indiana and Illinois used to raise the best work horses, but they aren't producing them any more because of the uncertain market and high feed prices.
 You can't blow and disk and harrow with saddle horses" he said. But they're right pretty to look | atD

SUMMER RENDEZVOUS

SUMMER RENDEZVOUS We have a rendezvous with flies and ants, Bees and bananas and locust chants, Out in the broad fields unmolested, Tn a corner not posted, uncontested We have rendezvous with the cows. We approach as as the law allows, Guerrseys to eye with bit of conservation As we spread the feast for picnic celebration We have rendezvous in the shade of the pines' Al fresco style we'll omit the rich wines.
