BY the Asseeiated Press

The Army has abolished its his

The action virtually eliminates the
horses from the Army. A small de-

be maintained, however, to give in

animals likewise will be retained.
Otherwise, future plans for the

NEW YORK, April 5.-Profit
cashing on the substantial recovery
from the February slump today put
most stock market leaders in the
losing bracket.
Bullish factors still existed in the
Governments optimism over busi-
ness, favorable dividends, hopes that
brakes would be put on the OPA, in
flation psychology involved in
mounting wages and prices, together
with the easing of international
tension. Numerous customers, how
ever, stood aside on the idea that
the market may have reached a
vulnerable technical position and
had discounted a lot of constructive
news.
Dealings and trends tapered afte;
an active and slightly higher open

D. {. Express Volume
I Per Cent Above
Year Ago in March
By Edword c. Stone

Express shipments in and out of
the Capital in March and the first
quarter were substantially ahead of
last year, Supt. w. o. R. Hannah of
the Railway Express Agency report
ed today. Both records indicate ex-
panding business activity.
March shipments totaled 299 ,52S
against 279,900 in March, 1945, an
increase of 1923 units, OF. Z per cent,
Mr.. Hannah stated. In the three
months, shipments totaled 836 ,687 as
compared with 772,368 in the first
quarter of 1945, a gain of 64319,
Supt. Hannah announced, adding
that the increase covered all classes
of express.
Shipments in the first quarter of
this year compared as follows with
the like 1945 months:
January -------- 1876 258,39O
February ----- 255 ,283 34,O78
March -- 299, ,528 279,9OO
The company handled 8,726 air
shipments in March, in comparison
with 9,001 a year ago, a small de-
cline of 275, or 81 per cent. For some
months, easing of war pressure has
caused a moderate letup in ship
ments by air.

ANA in Surprise Move
Backs Plan 10 Unity
Federal Health Work

From Yesterdays Last Edition.
The American Medical Associa-
ton today threw it's weight behind
President Humans reorganization
proposal to transfer the Govern
ment's health activities to the Fed
eral Security Agency.
Members of the House Committee
on Expenditures, to whom the in
dorSement was made, expressed sur
prise at the ANA stand, saying they
had received many letters from
physicians in their home districts
opposing the Presidents plan.
The witness, DR.. r. L. Sensenich.
chairman of the AMA's Board of
Trustees said the Presidents action
was IN line with his organization's
belief that governmental medical
activities should be placed under a
single administrative agency.
Under the Presidents plan, all the
health functions of the Children,s
Bureau OF the Department of Labor
would be placed under FSA, as we'll
as the vital statistics function of the
Census Bureau Of the Department
of Commerce.
in reply to questions as to whether
ANA did not fear the possibility
"of the Government taking over the
medical profession" DR.. Sensenich
replied he assumed the President
was acting in good faith. He stressed,
however, that Should it be apparent
that efforts are directed to the
establishment of governmental reg
imentation or measures that would
be harmful to the quality OF medical
care. the ANA will oppose those
efforts with all the means at its
command"
Three committee members, Repre-
sentative Ender OF Ohio, Judd Of
Minnesota and Rich Of Pennsyl-
vania, all Republicans, said they
had received piles of letters" from
physicians opposing the Presidents
plan on the grounds 1t would set
the groundwork for socialized medi-
cine.
