more careful in taking medical
personnel from the civilian popula-
ton in any future national emer-

Gen. Grow made four suggestions
for conserving use of medical per-
sonnel in the services:
l. Realistic assessment of medical
oftlcer requirements.

personnel by nonprofessional allied
workers where possible.
3. Delayed deployment of pro-

CLARK 10 Issue Data
On Communist Aims
By the Associated Press

The Justice Department Is pre-
pairing a formal opinion on the aims
and functions of the Communist
Party in the United States.
The document will be given to
the Federal Loyalty Review Board
for guidance on appeals rulings in
the current drive to drop any sub
versive persons from the Govern
ment payrolls.
Seth w. Richardson, review board
chairman, asked Attorney General
Clark to prepare the opinion for
use in cases involving employees be-
longing to the Communist Party or
so-called Communist-front organi-
cations.
Mr.. Clark has repeatedly de-
scribed the Communist Party as
subversive. He has contended in
several deportation proceedings
against alleged alien Communists
that the party advocates violent
overthrow Of this Government.
But Mr.. Richardson said the Su-
preme Court has never passed di-
rectly on that question. For that
reason, he said, some background
presumption must be established
for the boards benefit.
