Advisory Unit Named
TO Study Drafting Of
Doctors for Services

Whether doctors will have to be
drafted to meet the increased needs
Of the Army, Navy and Air Force
will be one of the first problems to
face q new medical advisory group
named by Defense Secretary
Forrestal.
The permanent, 12-member ad.
visory group will succeed q tenn
porary committee named several
months ago to study medical pro-
grams Of the military establishment
and headed by DR.. Paul r. Hawley
former medical chief Of the veter-
ans Administration. DR.. Hawley Il
member Of the new board.
Another principal task Of the
board will be to recommend elimi-
nation OF duplication in medical
activities of the armed forces. One
Of the first steps in this direction
50 far has been consolidation of an
Army and Navy hospital in the
Panama Canal Zone.
The new board also may look into
questions raised about whether de-
pendents Of officers and enlisted
men should be eligible for care in
military hospitals, especially in
large urban centers.
Some critics have contended pri-
vate doctors, dentists and hospitals
are available for this task and that
they would relieve the load on mill
tary doctors.
Mr.. Forrestal named Charles
Proctor Cooper, president Of the
board Of trustees of New York,s
Presbyterian Hospital, to be chair
man Of the board and to serve as
his deputy on all armed forces med
ical matters. DR.. Maurice C. Pin
COTS, Of the Maryland University
Medical School, Baltimore, is q
member Of the group. p

Senator Johnston said a thorough
study should be made with the ides
Of placing the pay scale Of present
grades and classifications on a per.
manently higher level because of the
higher living costs. His proposed
bill would not wait for this study
but would provide for a temporary
increase in anticipation OF a defini-
tive measure.
II thought last summer that the
increase should have been some
where around $700 or $780," Senator
Johnson said.
He pointed out that about 80 per

Partition Plans Seem Stronger
(BY Larry HauckI

LAKE SUCCESS, (P)-Russia's s renewed support and a slightly stronger American stand bright ened the prospects today for Pal estine partition.
 A long-aWaited Soviet speech yesterday served to clear the air and gave security council dele gates something new to discuss at today's meeting.
 Deputy foreign minister Andrei A. Gromyko dodged the issue of sending a United Nations armed force into the Holy Land. He did accept of portion of the American plan supporting the principle of partition. He also agreed to Big Five consultations on the subject but objected to U. s. plan for carrying out the talks.
 Gromkyo's speech was unusu- ally conciliatory. Twice he as- cused the United States of at- tempting to confuse the issue, but his counter-suggestions appeared to offer a basis for settlement. He also omitted previous charges that the British are obstructing parti- ton.
