1000 More Doctors
To Be Discharged by
Army Before June 30
Point Score Reduced
From IS to 60; PIon
Includes Dentists, Nurses

approximately 1000 additional
Army doctors commissioned from
civilian life will be discharged
before June 80, the War De-
partment said today in an
nouncing that the critical score
for the release of medical officers
has been reduced from IS to 60
points with an accompanying
reduction of three months in
the required length of time in
service.
The new discharge score also af-
fects Army dentists. In the case OF
nurses the service requirement fol
discharge was cut from years to ls
months.
Under previous speedup measures
25 900 doctors already have been sep
arated from the service since We
day and another 5000 were en- route
home or in process of separation
when the new critical score was an
nounced. This means that all but
1000 of the $1,000 doctors commits
stoned from civilian life will be re-
turned home by June 80.
Retention of Others Necessary.
The 1000 doctors who will be re-
tanned on active service are neces-
sary for the competent handling OF
the Army's sick and wounded, the
department said.
While the new score reduces the
80 months of active duty as quail
fication for discharge to SO months
there has been no change in the age
provision which permits immediate
discharge of any doctor over As.
Secretary Patterson said the speed
up measures taken for the dis
charge of medical officers means
that approximately 80 per cent will
have been demobilized 10 months
after VI day. This has been made
possibly in part, he said, by the
effective utilization of the gradua-
tes of the Army Specialized Train
ing Program, who progressively re-
placed civilian doctors with long
periods of war service.
Separate Score for Specialists.
A separate score was set up for
medical specialists, of whom some
800 IN these scarce categories will
be retained in the service. The sep
aration criteria for the specialists
will be 10 points, As years of age OF
IS months of active service. The
point score for specialists will be
reduced to 60 on April /.
Other medical department per.
>sonnel, such as veterinarians, sani-
tary and medical administrative
officers, will be released on 60 points
or at AZ years of age and 80 months
of active duty. This represents q
cut of three months in the length
of-service criterion.
Nurses with a score of Is points
80 years of age or 18 months OF
service. will be released. This means
six months less service than previ-
ously required. The same criteris
apply to dietitians and physical
therapists except for length oI
service, which is "a months.

Admiral Smith Says
War Was Shortened
Year by Hawaii Roid

If the Pacific fleet had inter-
cepted and fought a pitched bat
tie with the japanese task force,
averting the surprise attack on
Pearl Harbor, that would have
prolonged the war a year, Vice
Admiral William w. Smith, fleet
chief of staff in 1941, told the
congressional committee today.
There would have been no battle
OF Midway or battle of the Coral
Sea- the admiral added. Both were
sweeping American victories
Admiral Smith expressed these
opinions in response to a series of
questions by Senator Ferguson, Re-
publican, of Michigan.
I'VE would probably have sunk at
least two of their carriers" Admiral
Smith said, but we would have lost
our own carriers. 1t would have de-
layed the war a year"

By the Associated Press.
Sterilization Director John c.
Collet announced today the retail
price of sugar soon will increase
slightly more than half cent" a
pound.
He said the effective date would
be announced by OPA. An official
of that agency said an increase of

a pound would be put into effect "in
the next few days."
Plans for the increase were dis
closed recently by Undersecretary
of Agriculture Hutson in letter to
the House Banking and Currency
Committee.
The retail price hike will result
from an increase of a half cent a

Judge Collet attributed the in

Representatives of two. long

tions and two World War Il
veterans groups promptly came
to the defense of Gen. Omar N
Bradley today with replies to the
attack launched against him by
the American Legion.
Millard Rice, Disabled American
Veterans public relations director
said he believed that congressional
investigation now-as urged by the

Veterans Administration and added
that Gen. Bradley should be given
chance.
HE has been in Office only six
months and has been striving nobly
to overcome unsatisfactory condi-
tions that he inherited Mr.. Rice
said. These have been aggravated
by speedy rehabilitation and a lack
of everything including trained per-
sonnel.
Priority for Wounded.
"As for the hospital situation, il
conditions are crowded, it is obvious
the boys with combat disabilities
should be given priority"
The Veterans of Foreign Wars
came to the support of Gen. Bradley
with a statement in favor of "the
good, old American tradition of CIV
ing every man a chance to prove
whether or not he can successfully
handle a job"
Gen. Bradley inherited from his
predecessor Veterans Administra-
lion which needed thorough

Steel Fact-Finders
To Meeting Today
Advisers Seek Solution
In Woge-Priee Imposse;
Bowles Called for Talk
BY JAMES Y. NEWTON

President Truman summoned
the Steel Fact-Finding Board to
a conference at pm. today as
his top advisers sought a new
plan for ending the 11-day gen.
eral steel industry strike.
In announcing the steel con-
ference, Charles G. Ross, White
House press secretary, also told re-
porters that Price Administrator
Chester Bowles has an appointment
with the President at 10 m. tomor-
row. Mr.. Bowles is cutting short a
rest in the South, presumably tc
discuss the steel price situation with
Mr.. Truman.

situation had admitted they were ir
quandary as to what the mex
move in steel would be, SO the callins

Board Accumulates Data.
The board, headed by Nathan P
FeinSinger, former War Labor Boarc
member, has conducted no hearings
although it has accumulated a vasi
amount Of data on steel wages and
prices. 1t now may be called to
break the wage price stalemate
existing between the Government
the industry and the CIO United
Steel Workers.
One Government official said a
new conference may be called with
producers. He was uncertain about
future action, adding I'VE must
make new move in the next two
or three days.
Mr.. Truman ruled out seizure of
the giant industry as an immediate
prospect at his news conference yes-
terday afternoon. He also rejected
proposal of Henry Ford, II. that
price controls be lifted as a means
of getting industry in high gear. The
President said it would lead to wild
imitation.
Seizure Authority Doubted.
The administration, it was learned,
is not sure the Government has the
authority to seize the steel mills so
long after the war Such a move, it
was pointed out, would be far diff
ferent than taking over the meat
industry, since it easily can be shown
that our remaining armed forces are
directly dependent on a continuous
flow of food.
There are other reasons, it was
said, for administration hesitancy to
move in on the steel industry. There
is the uncertainty as to whether the
steelworkers would return to their
jobs for the Government, as well
as, the titanic task of actually TAX
ing over the 1900 properties now
closed down.
There were. meanwhile, these
other developments in the labor
situation:
l. A Federal Fact Finding Board
concluded hearings in the meat
packing industry wage dispute after
hearing arguments of packer spokes-
men that any wage increase recon-
mendations also must be accom-
panied by suggestions for price
rises. AFL and CIO unions involved
completed their case for higher pay.
The three-man panel will make its
recommendations within a few days.

dispute that threatened a power
blackout for 2,500,000 residents of
Ohio apparently was near. Two
