 Chairman Ebert Thomas oc Utah opened the discussion by re- marking that he had never be- fore known single period in our history to produce so many generals. Thomas was apparently making a simple observation, but soon found he had stuck re- sponsive chord His committee refused tho vote to confirm the nine candidates without first hay ing Chiet of Staff Marshall ap. pear before the Committee and explain the promotions.
 Hard-working Happy Chandler of Kentucky wanted to knoH how these nine men had been selected.
 Men like Patton, Hodges, Patch and SimpSOn-the cOm- manders on the Western Front -are all lieutenant generals now" Chandler observed. Why shouldn't they be promoted just as soon as these nine men sug- gested here?"
 Styles Bridges of New Hamp- shire seconded Chandlers ques- tion, referring specifically to Pat ton and Hodges. Chan Gurney of South Dakota pointed out that these four men (Patton, Hodges, Patch and Simpson, are comman- ders of single armies, rather than of army groups. The generals recommended for promotion are Bradley, Devers and Clark, all commanders of army groups-to- gether with Generals Handy, Mo- Narney, Somervell, Spaatz. Ken ney and Krueger who holds vari- ous home front and overseas com- mands.
 But Patton and Hodges are lieutenant generals just like the rest of them" Bridges replied, pointing out also that Waiter Krueger one of those named for promotion-iS commander or the Sixth Army. not of any army group.
 SENATORIAL PIQUE
 The Senators then got down to a discussion of the individual ol- ficers whose promotion they had been asked to approve. They weren't too happy about General Somervell, head of Army Service Forces, but where they really agreed was in their objection to promoting Lieut.. Gen. Joseph Me- Narney to be full general. Mc- Narney Is now Deputy Supreme Allied Commander in the Mediter- ranean area.
 As Deputy Chief Of Staff until few months ago, McNarney suc- ceeded, in his frequent appear ances before the Committee, in winning the dislike of nearly all members. They didn't care for his personality and never had much reSpe ct for his ability. They remembered particularly the time during the last Congress, when Senators O'Mahoney, Chandler and Bridges went to the War De- partment to find out about tie Army's plan to destroy a huge file of complaints brought against officers named for promotion.
 Not all members are certain that there was anything wrong with . the Arnly'S plan, but all renlem- Der that they didn't care for Mo- Narney's reception of the three Senators.
 Finally 1t was agreed that
 General Marshall should be
 brought to appear before the
 Committee before 1t acted On
 any of the nominations. Dis
 gusted with the whole prOce-
 dure, Senator Chandler de- clared: "So far as I am con-
 cerned, will support bill to permit Marshall to promote anyone he wants without Sem
 ate confirmation. We're just
 supposed to be here as 2 rub- Der stamp. guess"

 NEWSPAPERS during the past week sensatiOnalized another gov ernment document. That was a regulation issued by John C. Col let, chief of the Office of Stabil- ization, designating B per cent as the official figure for the rise in living costs since January, l94l. Employers may use wage raises up to that level to base applications for price boosts, Collet ruled.
 Some papers promptly headlined Collet's ruling as opening the way for substantial increases in wages. Their stories blew up with bang when Collet, a few days later, ex- plained that the regulation merely provided an additional per cent leeway above the 30 per cent pre- viously used as a cost-of-living yardstick.

Thinking It Through by BEN DOR
 LPA COLUMNIST
DOCTORS VIEWPOINT

Let's look at the new health bill from the point of view of the doctor. Or better still, let's look at it from the point of view of the young medi- cal student, the fellow studying to be a doctor.
 Medical school nowadays is six or eight years of tough hard work. The ordinary smart students get dropped year after year. Only the smartest ones finally get through. Expenses are big; school fees may, run as much as 5000 per year, even more, and books and labora- tory fees come extra-and high. Then it takes years to get a prac- tice set up, years during which the average person of the same age has already gotten married, and is well started on his life's career.
 In 1929, the top year of the golden age of American prosperity, one-third of the doctors in this country earned less than $50 per week. Half of the ordinary run-of- -the-house doctors made less than $75 per week. Pretty poor pickings for what the medical student goes through.
 AND THE PATIENT
 At the other side of the picture, during the same year, there were millions of people who needed medical care and weren't getting it. Millions of them were youngsters who, l2 years later, would be turn ing up at draft boards all over the cOuntry-to be turned down for physical unfitness. A little medical attention in 1929 would have put health and vigor into their bodies

and dollars into the pockets of
 many doctors who needed them.

and dollars into the pockets of many doctors who needed them.
 President Trumans new health plan is a way of bringing together these two groups of people who need each other so badly-the doctors and the patients.
 THE OPPOSITION
 But, you may ask, if the doctors need patients so badly, and if the bill would provide the patients they need, why does the medical profession op- pose the bill.
 I'm not sure that the medical profession does oppose the bill. The medical associations oppose it, but they're not the profession.
 But, now, what about the doctors who are coming out of the army with their old practices gone? And those who went into the army from medical school and never had a chance to set up a practice? The stay-at-hOmes may be fat and sassy; the ones who are coming back from war are plenty worried. But the medical associations don't speak for the worried doctors.
 Some of the doctor veterans are
