CLAIMED MONROE
MAN TO BE NAMED
ASST. TO MINCER
WILLIAM v. ALBURY AND
JULIUS F. STONE ARE AS
PIRANT5: POSSIBILITY OF
THIRD APPLICANT

Glenn Mincer, who was ap-
pointed as Stanley Milledge's sue
cessor as State Attorney in this
judicial district, is reported to
have declared that~he will name
as assistant in Monroe county an
attorney who is a bonafidc resi-
dent of the county, despite the
fact that the Papy bill, providing
for five years residence in the
county of the appointcc, did not
reach the governor in time for his
consideration.
The Papy bill was one of eight
that had passed both house and
senate but, because of delays of
d senate clerk, did not reach the
governor within 10 days after the
adjournment of the regular SEES
sion of the Legislature, which is
specified by law.
Another bill, which failed to
become a law for the same rea-
son, pertained to the states as
Stunning control of the Ringing
Brothers art treasures.
State Attorney Mincer, SO far
as is publicly known, has not in
dictated whom he will appoint as
his assistant in Key West. There
are two aspirants for the position,
William V. Albury and Julius F.
Stone, Jr., though it was said in
the courthouse this morning that
there is possibility that there
will be a third applicant.

GILBERTSVILLE, KY, Oct. 10.
President Truman today dedi-
Gated the Kentucky Dam, 10th
in the Tennessee Valley chain,
and hailed that vast project as
IAN important experiment in de-
mocracy."
The $ll5,000,00 structure here
on the Tennessee River is the last
step in a construction program
under way for nine years.
The President pointed out that
the entire river now is under con-
trol-the first time that has hap
pened in this country.
1.-THE completion of this dam
marks a new high point in modern
pioneering in America" Mr.. Truman
said.
With the Gilbertsville speech,

he boarded the Sacred Cow, for
the half-hour flight to Paducah, KY,

At Paducah, Senator Barkley, the
majority leader, was on hand with
Republican Gov. Simeon Willis to
greet Mr.. Truman and ride in the
parade through the business section
of the town.
Shortly after speaking here, Mr.
Truman was to drive back to Pa
ducah, where he will board his plane
for the trip back to Washington.

Expanded Activity Urged.
The President, an ardent advocate
of waterways development, took ad-
vantage of the occasion today to
urge expanded activity in this direc-

THE valleys of America await
their full development" he said
THE time has come, now, that ma

Japanese prisons today to the
acclaim of welcoming Commu-

to imperial rule-While a newly
formed National Federation of
Toilers arose to defend the i'm

The japanese Navy's chief pay
master, Vice Admiral Ushinosuke
Yamamoto, meanwhile disclosed
that the Navy's impounded fortune
of several million dollars was ac-
quired from conquered nations and
from the japanese people them
selves, and was paid for abroad in

Former Mental Cases
Certified as Veterans
Doctors, HawIey Says
House Group Hears
Civil Service BIumed;
None Were Hired
BY CARTER BROOKE JONES.

Some physicians certified by
the Civil Service Commission to
the Veterans Administration
had been previously committed to
mental institutions or treated
for alcoholism, Maj. Gen. Paul r..
Hawley, acting medical director
OF the agency, told the House
Veterans Committee today.
He made it clear. however. that
the Veterans Administration had
not employed these doctors.
Gen. Hawley was called to explain
bill backed by the Veterans Ad-
ministration to set up within the
agency a bureau of medicine and
surgery independent of civil service.
Hard to Eliminate Doctors.
In response to questions by COM
mittee members, Gen. Hawley said
it was almost impossible to get rid
OF doctor under the present civil
service setup unless malpractice
could be proved in court.
He said civil service had certified
a doctor IS years old and a woman
physician past 10.
If the Veterans Administration
does not accept the first three per-
sons on a civil service eligible list,
it must show cause" why, Gen.
Hawley pointed out. He said he
did not want to criticize civil service,
but he did not think it should apply
to professional employment.
Some Physicians Impossible.
Gen. Hawley said the Veterans
Administration had. some physicians
who are simply impossible tempera-
mentally but there is no way to
get rid of them
Patients in veterans hospitals, he
added. have no confidence in these
doctors, although they may be rea-
sonably competent in their fields
But they must be kept unless they
are guilty of malpractice and we
can prove it in court" he declared
Committee members questioned
the present form of the bill, which
would retain medical personnel nov
under civil service, but give Gen
Omar Bradley, veterans admins
traitor, authority to employ up to
$500 physicians and other necessary
personnel without consulting civil
service.
