military age to prepare himself physically
and mentally for his possible contribution
to the defeat of our enemies and for his
responsibilities in the postwar world.
We suggest, among other things, the phys
ical training and other preparatory courses
of the High School Victory Corps which
are recommended for the various armed
services, and the physical and pre-aviation
training given to CAP Cadets by the
nationwide organization of the Civil Air
Patrol, an auxiliary Of the Army Air Forces.
The AAF current training program uiu of
course, continue. All men no,v enrolled in the
Air Corps Enlisted Reserve ,vill start their
training after they become 18 as originally
planned. And We uill soon again take young
men of II into the Air Corps Enlisted Reserve
Meanwhile, in recognition of the over
whelming public support given the AAF,
we shall continue to report developments
so that when we invite further active
enrolment on our flying team, the nation
will be familiar with our activities and the
vital nature of our needs.

Ahead of Schedule"
An AAF Report ON the Apiatom Cadet Program

Thanks to the young men Of America,
the AAF is seizing air supremacy in every
theatre, faster than we ever planned or
even dared to hope.
Thanks to youths eagerness to serve, the
AAF has grown in remarkably short
time from a mere handful Of men into the
largest, most powerful air force in the world.
Thanks to the fitness and alertness of
these young men, they have learned their
job SO quickly that we have been able to
throw our great airplane production into
effective combat quicker than we believed
possible. Due to their daring and skill VIC
are destroying the enemy with less loss to
our own forces than we anticipated.
All air crew men must have the irresistible
desire to fly. Every such flying man in the
AAF is there on his own initiative in
response to our invitation to fly and fight
with "The Greatest Team in the World"
Hundreds of thousands have thronged to
our Aviation Cadet Examining Boards in
response to this appeal. Thousands are
continuing to volunteer for active duty
.. 3. and for the 17-year>old Air Corps
Enlisted Reserve.
Our gratitude to the young men of
America, and to their parents, friends and
associates. :. is without bounds We should
like to welcome on our team any qualified
Imperial Valley press., 1944-03-31

young man who wishes to join. But there
are other considerations 4. balanced
attack must be maintained
Since last July the Selective Service proc
ess had not yielded enough men for all
phases of the military program. Other
branches Of the army urgently need men
for currently pending operations.
The AAF is ahead of schedule 1t has
sufficient men in training and in the Air
Corps Enlisted Reserve to meet its present
schedule for combat crews. 1t must there
fore balance this activity with immediate
overall needs.
AS General Marshall has announced, the
AAF has returned to their former COM
mands some $4,000 men who had recently
volunteered for air crew training from the
ground and service forces. Moreover, until
further notice, the AAF will not take any
men into active duty from civilian life
for air crew training. Also, further enroll
mcnt in the 17-year-old Air Corps En-
listed Reserve has been temporarily
suspended.
The future of America depends upon the
fitness of our young men. All of the armed
services need young men who are physi-
cally fit, mentally alert and we'll educated
for the exacting demands of modern war.

entirely socialized, nor will It be
more private than 1t is now"
"The public recognizes the neces-
sity Of = sound. healthy Nation for
peace as well as war;" DR.. Parran
said.
A national health program would
need some kind of social insurance
to help the average man to pay his
hospital and doctors bills, slum
clearance, nutrition and further re-
search in science, DR.. Parran said,
but the very heart" Of the whole
question involves personnel and
facilities.
Senator Pepper attempted to draw
from DR.. Parran the principal OBJ
jections organized medicine has
raised against socialized medicine
He asked the surgeon general If the
doctors were afraid that a national
health program would deprive them
OF freedom OF practice or deprive
patients Of the free choice of a
doctor.
Hits Health Insurance.
Admitting that these were two OF
the objections, Or. Parran said many
more had been registered, but that
others were In a better position than
he to testify on this point.
Approving prepayment plans for
meeting hospital bills, such as that
operated here by Group Hospitaliza-
ton, Inc, DR.. Parran sharply criti-
cized the kind of health insurance
sold by private insurance companies.
1T is my opinion" he said, that
private health insurance is not the
most effective way of meeting health
needs. Their charges in proportion
to services rendered are uneconom-
ical and prohibitive to the great bulk
OF the population with which your
committee Is concerned"
Cites Socialized Phases.
On the subject of socialized medi-
cine DR.. Parran told the commit
tee that some phases of medical
care In this country already had
been socialized completely" He
pointed to workmen's compensation

The care Of the INDECENT sick, he
said, also has become a public re-

Poorly Located.
Charging that hospitals and health
facilities are not located in propor-
ton to need, DR.. Parran said some
areas are overbuilt and others are
underbuilt." To remedy this he
proposed more control over hospital
location and distribution preferably
through planning and control by
some o1icial State agency.
In the postwar development DR..
Parran predicted the people of the
Nation will increasingly demand
