BAER ARMY FIELD. FOR T
WAYNE, Ind. U.P) From soldier
to civilian in 80 minutes that's
the record chalked up by the med
ical processing section of this Army
Air Force separation center, where
men walk into the hospital as Gls
and emerge as MisterS.
In the medical section, each SOL
der being discharged receives his
final physical examination. designed
by the Army to guarantee that he
is in as good-if not better-physi-
cal condition than when he first
put on his khaki uniform.
A ratio of six officers and % en-
listed men are ushered through
thorough physicals with speed that
any industrial assembly line would
appreciate.
Briefed First
Business started Oct. Is in a
building converted from a hospital
ward. Capt. George H. Douglas OF
Los Angeles, officer in charge of
the medical center, said the peak
production" has been 500 men in
one day, but facilities have been
geared to accommodate 600 veter-
ans daily.
The men are given briefing by
1t. Clifford c. Norton. The lieuten-
ant, a former radio actor, producer
and director at Chicago, has de-
vised signs posted on the wall to
encourage action: Keep it moving,
buddy; "Hubba, Hubba." and Fol
low the arrows today if you want
TO be Mister tomorrow"
Arrows painted on the floor lead
the men from one doctor to an
other. After they receive their
physical examination work sheets
on which their reactions to tests
are recorded. they adjourn to a
dressing room and strip to shorts
and socks.
90 Seconds for X-Ray
Their medical history from in
fancy is recorded-and then begin
the tests. Ears, nose, throat, bones,
joints-all are examined
Only go seconds are needed for
x-ray. The soldiers merely stand
on a ladder-tall ones on the bot
tom step ranging to the short ones
on top-and the picture is snapped

ernment business. The Treasury
has 10000 employees here and
throughout the country.
Printing Bureau ShOrthanded.
One of the bureaus which must
continue some of its workers over
time will be the Treasury's Bureau
of Engraving and Printing, which
employs about $500 people. The
plate printing division, which is
short of printers, according to Bu-
reau Director Alvin w. Hall, will
have to continue temporarily on a
48-hour week. There are about
1000 plate printers and assistants
who will continue on the long week,
until more plate printers returning
from the armed forces are available.
The remaining $500 employees Of
the bureau will get Saturdays on
from now on, including the long
Labor Day week end.
Over half the Government de-
partments and agencies have
dropped to the 40-hour week, ac-
cording to a survey by the Bureau
of Budget; but the exact number of
people who are benefited by the
change is not yet available.
Virtually all the Federal civilian
employees in Washington, except
those on Capitol Hill and in the
War, Navy and Post Office Depart
ments are paid through the Treas
ury Departments Division of Dis
bursement Guy F. Allen, chief dis
bursting officer in charge of this ac-
tivity said last night he had no COM
plete report, but he estimated that
more than half Of the agencies al
ready have dropped to a 40-hour
week. The change will place a big
load on the payroll work OF the
agencies, and also on his office. Mr.
Allen said, but every effort will be
made to meet the situation as it
develops.
Workers Ask Pay Raise.
The United Federal Workers
(CIOD has called on President Tru-
man and Congress to grant 80 days
notice to dismissed Government
employees, and 20 per cent in
crease in the base rate Of pay to
make up for the loss Of overtime
due to the cutback to 40-hour
week.
These two proposals were among
several sent by UFWA President
Eleanor Nelson to the President and
Congressional leaders in a letter
made public last night.
The proposals included also un-
employment compensation and one
months severance pay; IS cents
minimum wage legislation. the in
clusion of Federal workers under
it, and elimination of discrimination
against colored workers, women and
members Of other minority groups
in layoffs and hiring.
She proposed that the Govern
ment should continue to operate
aforementioned munitions plants
If private industry is unable or un-
willing to do so.
Enactment Of the Magnuson- De
Lacy bill, establishing the principle
of seniority in the Government s
navy yards and arsenals, and of
legislation for permanent Fair
Employment Practices Commission
was recommended.
