A picked group of scientists was
scheduled to go ashore on Bikini
Atoll today as the advance guard
of an army of specialists who will
record every conceivable phase of
the forthcoming atomic bomb tests.
The coverage undoubtedly will be
the most complete the world has
ever seen with instruments, CAM
eras and technicians collecting spe-
cial data, and a corps of writer's,
radio men and photographers to
relay the general picture to the
public.
Planners hope to have observers
present from every scientific or
technical field which might be af-
fected by release of atomic energy.
While military implications are
almost incalculable, Army and Navy
experts have made provision for
wide investigation in other direc-
tions.

For Refusing to Jump in Exercise

on their return from fighting in
Europe.
The men involved were veterans
OF numerous jumps, though not in
combat. All were members of the
515th Parachute Regiment, a part
OF the 18th Airborne Division. The
division returned in August from
Europe where only the 517th Regi-
ment saw fighting. AS the division
was about to be broken up, Gen.
Gavin commanded its remnants
along with other units at Fort
Bragg.
Approximately 130 of those who
refused to jump were said in the
reports to have had almost enough
points to assure early release from
service. Some had not jumped
since last summer, but had con-
tinued drawing the extra parachute
pay which the Army gives as COM
pensation for hazardous duty-$5O

Federal Employment
Increases $3.50 in
Capital in January
National Figure Cut
By 1887; Heavier
Reductions Forecast
By Joseph Young

Reversing the downward trend
in Federal employment here
since the end of the war, Gov
ernment personnel in Washing
ton increased by $500 during
January. it was revealed last
night in figures released by the
Civil Service Commission. There
now are approximately 233,000
Federal employees in Washington.
Although Federal personnel
throughout the country decreased by
4,877 during the month, the cut fell
far short of expectations as far as
reduction -in-force plans are con-
cerned.
When the war ended in August,
there were about 255,000 persons
employed in the Government here
and approximately 1900, 900 through
out the country. From August until
the end of December, Federal en-
ployment here fell to approximately
229 900. During this same period,
Government employment through
out the country decreased to about
2,411 900 persons.
Hope for Heavier Reductions.
Civil Service Commission officials
last night expressed the hope that
sharper reductions in personnel
would take place in the next few
months. The January figures were
the latest compiled by the COM
mission.
Although Federal employment in
creased here during January and
Government personnel throughout
the country took only a negligible
drop, commission spokesman last
night said the Government still in
tended to carry out its plans to cut
its force to 100000 persons by
June, 1947.
Asked to explain the virtual halt
in observation-disclosures plans, the Of
flcial said one answer might be the
unemployment of veterans return
ing to Federal jobs. He pointed out
that these men were entitled to
their jobs by law and that their
unemployment offset the dismissals
of war service appointees.
VA Gains Largest Number.
An examination of Federal en-
ployment figures for the District
showed the War Department added
1854 persons to its payroll during
January, while. the Navy Depart
ment's civilian personnel decreased
by I'll. The agency showing the
largest employment gain was the
Veterans Administration which
added 1,067 employees. Nearly all
the peacetime agencies added en-
ployes, ranging from one for the
Bureau of the Budget. to 632 new
Department of Agriculture employees.
These gains offset the compara-
lively small reductions in wartime
agencies. The Once Of Price Ad-
ministration reduced its staff by 81
employees and the Once OF Defense

VA Hospitals Ordered
To Admit Veterans
On 24-Hour Basis
Gen. HowIey Coils Halt
To Denial of Care at
Night and on Holidays
By Miriom Ottenbero

Veterans will be able to get
medical care at any time of the
day or night they seek it under
sweeping instructions issued last
night by Maj. Gen. Paul R.
|Hawley, medical director of the
Veterans Administration.
A VA spokesman said Gen. Haw-
ley's memorandum to his branch
official medical chiefs came after
he was told about a malaria victim
shaking with chills who sought hos
pital treatment on a Sunday and
was told to come back Monday"
In calling halt to the frequent"
practice of turning away veterans
in need of medical care at nights
and on Sundays and holidays, DR..
Hawley issued these instructions:
Medical care must be available
to veterans in need of it on a "a
hour basis.
Requirments to Control Hours.
Neglect of patients will be con-
sidered IAN unforgivable sin"
Requirements of patients will
govern duty hours of doctors and
nurses-not business on an am.
to S pm. basis.
Medical chiefs must be utterly
cold-blooded" in Kidding the service
of doctors who interfere with the
goal of "the highest standard of
medical care and treatment"
Cites Frequent Complaints
In his memorandum, DR.. Hawley
said that lone of the most frequent
complaints" reaching his Office was
that veterans could obtain authori-
zation for hospital or clinical care
only during usual business hours
and that at night, Sundays and
holidays "such service is frequently
unobtainable
The former chief surgeon in the
European theater made it clear in
a circular to all medical authorities
that all doubts about a veteran s
eligibility for disqualification must
be resolved in favor of the veteran.
Whether or not the veterans ILL
ness is service-connected can be
determined later, he said.
DR.. Hawley said all veterans hos
pitfalls must have at least one or
more doctors on duty at all times.
In small regional Offices where con-
tinuous duty would be a hardship
to the few doctors assigned, Dr.
Hawley said a clerk could receive
telephone calls but that "a RESPONSE
BILE medical officer" must be ION
call" He ordered "a reasonable
promptness at all times" in answer
ing calls of the sick.
Best Care Is Stressed.
Il cannot overstress the general
policy that every veteran patient
is to be given the highest standard
of medical care and treatment, and
that nothing short of this is salts
factory" DR.. Hawley told his lieu
tenants.
"This must be your first and con-
stant concern. You must stimulate
all medical personnel to reach this
objective and you must be utterly
cold-blooded in Kidding the service
