A "first-in-first-o out" formula for
demobilizing fighting men was pro-
posed today by Senator Johnson,
Democrat, of Colorado.
Senator johnson said the point
system the Army announced months
ago as it's program for determining
discharge priorities is much too COM
plicated and contains elements Of
unfairneSs.

the Army should turn the men out

Senator johnson said he hasn't
made any headway trying to per-
suade the War Department to adopt
his "Fifo Formula" AS a result, he
added, he probably will introduce
legislation to accomplish the pur-
pose.

By the Associated Press.
CHUNGKING, July 13.-Maj. Gen.
Henry S. Aurand has recommended
that the death sentences of two
American privates, accused of killing
a Chinese grandmother in a dispute
over a water buffalo, be committed
to 20 years at hard labor.
The men, condemned by Kun

John v. Brennan, West Hartford,

wood, Ohio. Both are 80
Gen. Aurand, chief of the Services
of Supply in the China theater,
recommended also that the men be
dishonorably discharged and forfeit
all pay and allowances due or to be-
come due during confinement. The
theater commander, 1t Gen. Albert
@. Wedemeyer, still must pass on
the court-martial and Gen. Au-
rand's recommendation.
The War Department Is investi-
eating the case.
The men commended: They mount
ed the water buffalo in a Chinese
village, intending to take a ride
and have little fun" The villagers
attempted to pull them off the ami
NAL and the woman finally succeed
ed in dismounting Brennan. The
private fell from the animal onto
the woman and she died three hours

Commissioners Order All Dogs
Leushed While on Streets

Acting under increased powers
given them by the recently approved
rabies-control bill. the Commits
sioners today by proclamation or
dered the leashing of all dogs on
any public street or public place
beginning Monday, July %.
A three month proclamation be-
ginning May /, which required
muzzling of dogs, will be rescinded
when the new proclamation goes
into effect.
The new proclamation does not
require vaccination of dogs against
rabies, but it is understood that
a later order will require this step
and that plans now are being de-
veloped to carry out vaccinations.
The Commissioners said they
issued the proclamation because
they have been notified by the
health officer that there are rabid
dogs in the city and that rabies
may spread" So far this year there
have been 81 rabid dogs, and 81
persons bitten, according to the
Health Department, while during
all of last year 1873 persons were
bitten and there were three deaths.

Office Space Lacking
Here for Returning
Service Physicians
Special Group Studies
Crisis in Anticipation
Of SizubIe Influx
By HAROLD B. ROGERS.

Office space in Washington is
so seriously short" that some
doctors returning from service
with the armed forces have been
unable to find a place to resume
civilian practice here, the Dis
trict Medical Society disclosed
today.
A special society committee on
service physicians is working on
the problem, Theodore Wiprud,
secretary of the society, said. But
the outlook for Offices to accommo-
date what is expected to be large
number of returning doctors is not
good, he declared.
A survey of medical buildings,
and Office space in other suitable
buildings throughout Washington
has brought little hope of relieving
the situation any time soon, Mr.
Wiprud said.
More Doctors Needed.
Already Washington is being
served with the minimum" number
of doctors for its population, he ex-
planned, and the city needs the addi-
tional medical care which can be
given by the returning doctors.
Col. A. Clagett Gray, medical off,
Ger of District Selective Service,
who is chairman of the Medical
Society Committee on service ply
sicians, said today his committee
hopes special preference for Office
space can be given to service ply
sicians returning to civilian life.
His committee is making a careful
study of the problem.
Meantime, civilian need for these
returning doctors is being stressed
on Capitol Hill, where members of
Congress have been calling for
earlier release from service of Army
doctors. Senator johnson, Demo-
crat, of Colorado, member of mill
tary affairs subcommittee, charged
that the Army was taking "leisurely
attitude" toward releasing such ply
sicians to help care for the civilian
population.
On the other hand. an Army
spokesman indicated rehabilitation
plans called for release of about
1000 doctors by next May.

Jarman Tells Of Night Flight
In Storm Over Foe in China

By the Associated Press.
Six China hound members of
Congress rode out a stormy night
flight over Japanese held territory
to the interior of China in a plane
with a crippled oil tank.
The incident was related by Rep
resentative Jarman, Democrat, of
Alabama, one of the six who re-
turned to the House today after a
six-week world tour of American
naval bases.
Mr.. Jarman said the trip, from
Manila to Running, China, prob
ably was the first by members of
Congress over enemy territory.
The six were armed with guns
and first-aidy kits, he said, and
given Chinese identification cards,
inscribed, Il am an American" in
case they were forced down in Chi
nese guerrilla territory.
Despite the heavy storm and a
tank that leaked 40 gallons of oil,
the big C-54 kept its course, Mr..
Jarman told a reporter.

Treasury Office
Inundated by
Broken Pipe

Part of the Treasury Building
was turned into miniature Niagara
Falls today when q 12-inch pipe
broke into the r-conditioning sys-
tenn on the top floor, sending a
stream of water cascading down a
stairwell.
The water swept through fifth
floor corridor and seeped into sew
eral offices. Then it began flowing
down the ornate stairs in a noisy
torrent, passing in front of Secre-
tary Morgenthau's third floor Office.
Building engineers explained that
a clamp holding tap on the pipe
broke. Within a few minutes they
had the water cut off and since
most of the floors were covered
with linoleum, the damage was
eight.

The Pittsburgh was dashed and

morning of June S. The swells,
whipped into mountainous fury by
wind, snapped off the ships sleek
