Quetzalcoatl.
This temple was dedicated to a
white god. He was represented,
in the sculpture on the outer walls,
by winged serpents.
AS We looked about at the plaza
and at the temple, we could almost
visualize the impressive religious
ceremony and hear the beat, beat of
the drums. Even Juan, who visited
the pyramids frequently, shook his
head and said, Wasn't that awful 4?

We were glad to leave there and
go on to La Gruta (the cave), a

We went first to Las Catacombes,

War Department Says
Army Didn't Make
Full Use Of Doctors
BY the Associated Press.


A War Department spokesman
told Senators today the Army hae
not fully utilized the services o.
its physicians.
The testimony by Col. w. Pau
Holbrook, a doctor and a member
of the War Department genera
staff. promptly brought from Sen.
ator Downey, Democrat, of Cali.
fornia the comment that there had
been "a vast and unwarranted
waste of medical service" during the
war
The work-load of average military
medical officers was about 10 pei
cent of the work-load of our aver
age civilian physician" Senator
DoWney asserted.
System Raped.
Col. Holbrook appeared at the
Senate Military Affairs Committee s
hearing on rehabilitation to tell OF
a special study of Army use of doc
tors, dentists and nurses which he
made for the committee.
He testified that about 1900 doc
tors will be returned to civilian
status before January |, and asserted
that revision of present Army
plans for obtaining medical men
during emergencies Is needed to
avoid what he termed an anti
quated system"
Col. Holbrook told the committee
he blamed the misuse of Army doc
tors On the system rather than Army
planners.
He explained that Army doctors
were assigned much like firemen
whereas they should have been used
only in emergencies. For example
he said, the average division had Sc
doctors or one doctor for 300 men
far too many for simple medical
care and preventive medicine on a
group of healthy young men"
Wants Mobile Basis.
At the same time, he said, this
was too few" doctors for Army
units that faced heavy casualties
Instead of assigning doctors to
I4OOPo DS HuiilUeIS anu dJCdCQlnR
them to fixed hospital units, Col
Holbrook said the medical experts
should be put on a rowing or mobile
basis, ready for an emergency.
AS Senators listened intently
the witness said that the Army and
Navy had taken some $4,000 doctors
for armed forces, leaving only 10000
physicians for the civilian popula-
ton. He said this resulted in slight
ly more than six doctors for every
1000 men in military services and
eft only one civilian doctor for every
1900 civilians.
Col. Holbrook said this was an
"unjustifiably high ratio of doctors
In the Army as compared to civil
life"
The medical officer said there was
no reason why Army doctors could
not operate one week in New Guinea
and the next in Italy, instead of be-
ing attached to fixed units and in
active theaters.

needed in the armed forces, and
that literally constitutes millions. !"
The bill, once it passes the House,
still must be approved by the SEN
ate.
There Senator johnson, Democrat,
OF Colorado, who has been critical
OF War Department estimates that
a 2,5OO, ,O00-man Army would be
needed during the occupation period,
told reporters he fully anticipated
some such announcement" as Gen.
MacArthur's 100000 figure for
Japan.
1T has been apparent all along
that Gen. Macarthur did not need
100000 as an occupation force" Sen
ator johnson said. This disproves
the statements made by Gen. Henry
to the Military Affairs Committee
on Army needs"
Maj, Gen. S. G. Henry, assistant
chief of staff, told the committee
last week that 1t was estimated 9o0,-
000 men would be needed in the Pa
clflc. His estimate included not only
Japan, but Alaska, laval and other
bases.
Gen, Henry also said the Army
would speed up rehabilitation If it
developed that fewer men were
needed.
He indicated that the 10000 figure
contemplated about 100000 in Japan.
Thus Gen. MacArthur's announce
ment apparently would clear the
way for a reduction Of the Army to
100000 instead of the 2,5OO,O 900
if no other estimates of needs were
changed. The cut in occupation
forces, however, would likely permit
a reduction also in service forces en-
gagged in supplying them. The o.
100000 estimate contemplated a
force of 100000 IN this country and
100000 in Europe and Atlantic bases.

Two Federal Worker Bills
Set for Early Action

The House Rules Committee to-
day gave the green light for early
action by the House on two bills
affecting Government workers.
One of these, sponsored by Repre-
sentative Randolph, Democrat, of
West Virginia, authorizes establish
ment of health clinics in Govern
ment agencies, under the guidance
of the United States Public Health
Service. The other, authorized by
Representative Rees, Republican, of
Kansas, ranking minority member of
the House Civil Service Committee,
would exempt from income taxation
the annuities of retired Civil Service
employees up to $1,44o a year. This
would place such retired workers on
basis similar to that of persons re-
tired under the railroad retirement
Act.
