with the Army. We have large quotas for
them, too. Some Of these are untitled for
where housing is short and transportation diff
ficult it is easier to recruit Wacs than CT
villains. In Washington, D. c., for example,
the War Department would be glad to recruit
a great number Of skilled civilians to do the
civil jobs in the Army.
There are three kinds Of jobs in the Army:
the job for men soldiers, for women soldiers,
and for civilian employees. All are needed,
as all categories are understrength. Healthy
men must fight; healthy women must back
them up in mono ombatant military admins
trative work.
What is the Women's Army Corps made
up of-what does the Army want? The answer
is, the WAC is made up of average American
women, just as the Army is made up of aver
age American men. Our Army is going to
be further understrength as casualties pour in
from the second front. These casualties can
largely be replaced behind the lines by WAC
recruiting.

More Wacs Needed

A question often heard when commanding
officer of military station says: '"The Wacs
are doing a good job, but we haven't enough
of then,' is, IF the Army needs them so
much why doesn't it draft them?" The an
swer. of course, is that selective service has
not been extended to women.
universal service bill was presented to
Congress many months ago. 1t is still in the
embryonic stage. Meanwhile, battles are rag
ng-war is going on American women are
not drafted because there is no legislation au-
thorizing such action.
Some have honest doubts concerning the
Women's Army Corps. They say civilians can
do many jobs in the Army. In some cases
the Jobs of Waes and civilians are interchange
able. But the Army has to be made up OF
soldiers; men and women who can be moved
silently and swiftly across the seas and skies
to work and strike, day or night. whenever
the enemy least suspects.

Doctors Oppose Specialization

Dr. Paul F. Whitaker of Kinston and DR..
James W. Vernon of Morganton incoming and
outgoing presidents of the North Carolina Med
ical Society, are definitely opposed to the So
cialization of medicine as proposed by the
Wagner Murra -Dingell bin Obviously the ad-
ministration proposal of fost socialized medi-
cine on the American people, against the wish
of large majority, we will show, will not
be permitted if the society can prevent it.
Extremists who have claimed that popu-
lar demand exists for government-dominated
medical care have been shown up for what
they are by factual information secured by
the doctors of the nation The National Physl-
clans Committee for the Extension OF Medical
Service employed the largest opinion research
group in the nation to make the most compre-
hensive study Of opinion on medical care That
has ever been undertaken in the United States.
The results of this survey are telling rebuke
to the socialistically minded who have built
up the myth that the American people are
crying for politically administered medicine
under the dictatorial control Of the Federal
government.
According to the survey, the people are
strongly in favor of broadening plans for easy
individual prepayment Of costs of unusual or
prolonged illness. They are security con-
