Army ana Navy Draft
OF Doctors Is Studied !;
Bill Ready 10 Submit

The armed services, critically
short OF physicians and dentists,
may seek to draft professional men
to fill their ranks.
Such legislation has been pre-
pared by committee in the Once
of Secretary Of Defense Forrestal,
but the Secretary has not given his
approval. If the services agreed
that draft was the only way In
which they can obtain sufficient
professional help and Mr.. Forrestal
approved. the legislation would be
submitted to Congress early in the
next session, an official said today
The original draft of the present
Selective Service Act contained a
provision for drafting physicians
and dentists, but 1t was eliminat ted
in a conference committee. The
new legislation would take the form
Of an amendment to the present Law.
At present the Army Is more than
l 200 physicians short of the number
1t considers necessary to care for
its present personnel. The Navy
also needs additional professional
officers.
The situation has revived talk hi
military circles of a controversial
plan for educating and training its
own medical and dental officers.
This has been discussed in previous
years by the Army. Navy and Public
Health Service. 1t is opposed by
civilian medical associations.
Another alternative would be OBJ
tanning the service of civilian ply
sicians and dentists by contract.
Under the present law, physicians
and dentists between l8 and 26 can
be drafted as privates after which
they can be commissioned. In that
case they cannot be paid the 500 a
month additional pay Congress has
provided in an attempt to attract
more OF the professional men into
the Regular Army.

Keynoting the State COP con-

The present state of collapse OF

House means that We Republicans
must go it alone. 1t means that, for
an indefinite period, We Republicans

strength of purpose. integrity, unity
determination and responsibility
than any party has ever had or

Soviet Bloc Removing Their Nationals

had been believed to have lost
power because of the incident in
volving Marshal Tito. Present re-
ports, however. lead to the belief
that the contrary is true, and that
with the backing of Foreign Min
lister Molotov he is stronger today
than ever.
Gen. Zhdanov is not profess
sional soldier, but he is powerful
potential figure and repeatedly has
been reported as one Of the strong
est bidders for the mantle Of Joseph
Stain as dictator of Soviet Russia.
His views on how to settle the
present European impasse are, well

with the dilatory methods Of the
diplomats and is convinced that the
time is propitious to present the
world with an accomplished fact
oy the use of the powerful Russian
forces quartered in Eastern Europe,

The present game Of hide-and-

whole question of Soviet SUPP emacy
over all Western Europe.
Like most semimilitary men, Gen.
ZhdanoV does not have the same
misglvings about war as do pro-
fessionals on the Russian general
staff. He is not worried about
what might happen when the
United States decides to grid itself
for a final showdown. He Is re-
ported to have expressed the view
that it would take us years. not
months, to become a formidable
military antagonist again, and
many things could happen in this
country in the meanwhile.
Gen. zhdanov keeps his eyes on
the well-known weakness of West
ern Europe and is persuaded that
those countries would fall before
the might of the Red Army long
before the United States could get
anywhere near ready.
Whether these views, the reports
Of which are as good as it is pos
sible to get out of Moscow, will be
accepted by Mr.. Stain ane the
other members of the Politburo will
be the decisive factor in the next
few weeks.

These are inspiring words. They
tell of truly dramatic change in

leads.
Only last week the party, as rep

looking backward. and those who
would like to restore the dim, de-
