Veterans Hospitals to Allow
New Doctors to Pass on Stats

competence because of the necessity
to prove charges under civil service
procedures The only appeal from
dismissal, henceforth, will be to Gen.
Bradley
Gen. Hawley explained there were
no adequate personnel records to
make any decisions on the value of
the Veterans Administration doc
tors. He predicted it would take six
months to year to decide which
of 2,400 doctors now employed
should be kept on its rolls. He said
he would prefer not to have any of
the Veterans Administration doc
tors now employed on these selec-
ton boards in the hospitals be-
cause ut would put theme in an
embarrassing position"
1--WE are going to fill all existing
vacancies with the best possible men
we can get" Gen. Hawley said. ''The
more good men we get the higher
we can raise our standards for the
care of veterans. The kind of doc
tor we want is influenced more by
professional opportunities than by
pay, although they can make a
good living with u.s."
20 Apply Each Day.
Since the bill was passed, Gen.
Howley reported, applications have
been coming in from doctors at the
rate of 20 day.
He explained that a number of
doctors now getting out of the serv-
ice are discouraged because they
can't get started in private practice
They can't get Office space or homes
for their families. Other doctors
who practice group medicine in the
Army and Navy, and liked the idea
Of associating with specialists, don't
want to practice alone now Both
groups are coming into the Veterans
Administration, Gen. Hawley said.
DR.. Paul B. Magnuson. director of
consultant services In the medical
department, said arrangements have
been made with 46 medical schools
to train resident physicians in vet
erans' hospitals. So far, he reported,
all resident physicians hired have
been veterans.

3-Cent Air Postage
For All 1st-CIass Mail
Urged by Air|ines

Transportation of all first-class
mail by air and eventual reduction
of the air postage rate to cents was
recommended to the Post Office
Department today by former Rep
resentative Robert Ramspeck, new
executive vice president of the Air
Transport Association.
These proposals by the air trans
port industry and another for eStab-
lishment of airborne parcel post
were made at meeting called by
the Post Office Department to dis
cuss mutual problems with the air
carriers, the first session of its kind
in the departments history.
Mr.. Ramspeck pointed out that
the present Scent air postage rate
is to be automatically reduced to
cents six months after the official
end of the war, which has not yet
been proclaimed. Meanwhile, he
urged an early reduction to 5 cents
and the gradual closing of the gap
between airmail and first-class mail.
Figures by Post Office statisticians
showed that airmail revenues were
$29, ,000, 900 above expenditures in
1914, the last year on which COM
plete costs are available. and that
a profit of s1o,000,000 still can be
expected If the rate is cut to cents.
A Scent rate would enable the de-
partment to break even in the dis
patch of all f1rst-class mail by air
but would cause heavy losses in
other postal divisions, some of which
have to supply free services to the
public, it was said.
