British Wives Seek
Entry To United States

LONDON, July 16.-(P)-British
wives and sweethearts of Ameri-
can servicemen are inquiring at
the rate of hundreds a day at the
U. S. embassy about the quickest
way to get to the United States.
The diplomats estimated there
are about $4,000 such women.
The Adjutant Generals office
announced today that the backlog
of wives approved for transport
to the United States and waiting
for boat space had increased from
1000 to 5000 in the last few weeks.
The only thing holding them up
is transportation" Sanders said.
1--WE can't do anything about that.
It is an Army problem.
The Army estimates it will be at
least nine more months before
wives and fiances can be shipped
in large numbers.

MARQUIS CHILDS &".,.,,3

lective Service would have been
simplified
Under fire from the American
Medical Association for shutting off
our future supply OF doctors by
refusing deferment for pre-medics,
Selective Service officials say that
more than enough medical students
will be found among the 100000
veterans to be discharged this
year. That is their answer to the
charge that our present draft pol
icy is jeopardizing the future health
of the nation.
In my opin on. that answer is not
good enough. They may be right,
yet the educ preference OF
veterans returning up to now does
no. support their argument. A man
who has had three or four years
taken out of his life viii think q
long time before he begins course
Of study requiring minimum OF
six years before ne earns even part
Of his own living and can begin to
think of marriage.
Anyway, it is a gamble. 1t is a
gamble we cannot afford to take
with our national future.
We never brought ourselves up tc
a National Service Act. With such
an act, the conservation of our hI
man resources would have beer
easier. But that failure does not
excuse a shortsighted policy which
strikes at our future as a nation
