Youth Awaiting Draft Call
Dies Playing Russion Roulette

A 22-year-old man who was to
report for a draft physical exami-
nation in two weeks shot himself
to death while playing Russian
roulette at party last night, ac-
cording to police.
Homicide Squad Capt. Jere-
miah Flaherty identified the man
as Indy Pettitt of 633 E street
N. E.. who was married but not
presently employed.
The shooting, Capt. Flaherty
said, happened at about 9 pm.
on the front porch of home in
the 1000 block of Fourth street
NE. Mrs. Ida Briggs, who lives
at the house, said a group of
about 26 friends was leaving a
television and soft-drink party

Thomas was eligible for parole
June 6. Last May he attempted
unsuccessfully to get Presiden-
tial pardon and cancellation of
the fine. The parole board re-
fused parole July "a, presumably
because the fine had. not been
paid. After the trial here, when
he threw himself on the mercy of
the court. he was ordered by Judge
Alexander HoltzoH to stand COM
mitted until the fine was paid"
Thomas for years had suffered
from stomach hemorrhages. He
was stricken after his indictment.
DR.. Killinger said Thomas had un-
dergone a stomach operation and
also has high blood pressure.
The indictment charged that
Thomas defrauded the Govern
ment of about $4,000 by padding
his Office payroll with names of
persons who did no work or turned
all or part of their salaries over
to him,

there when the tragedy occurred.
According to Capt. Flaherty, the
group was saying goodbye to Mrs.
Briggs when Pettitt pulled out a
80 caliber revolver and "began
showing off," Apparently the gun
went off the first time he pulled
the trigger, Capt. Flaherty said.
Russian roulette is a game
played by inserting one bullet in a
revolver. spinning the chamber
and pulling the trigger with the
muzzle placed against the head
on the gamble that the hammer
will strike an empty barrel.
Pettitt, Capt. Flaherty said, ap-
parently played against double
odds. He used two bullets. He was
pronounced dead on arrival at
Sibley Hospital of a bullet in the
brain.

Doctor Draft Signed
10 in Reserve Here
Ordered 10 Report
Higher Rank Specialists
Among Group to Get
PhysieoIs Tomorrow
By George Beveridqe

President Truman yesterday
signed the doctor draft" bill
aimed at non-reserve doctors who
are so years of age or younger.
In other developments, it was
learned:
/. The Military District of
Washington-in its first involun-
tary doctor reserve call-has or
dered 18 District physician reserv-
lists to report tomorrow for phys
ical examinations.
2. The Defense Department is
sued priority" for the recall of
doctor-reservists, which is closely
similar to the priority set in the
draft law.
Primary effect of the new draft
act will be to force young doctors
trained at Government expense to
accept reserve commissions and go
on active duty or face induction
as privates. It also affects den-
fists. osteopaths, optometrists, vet
erinarians and pharmacologists.
Could Ask Commissions.
Once inducted, doctors could
apply for commissions. But, while
awaiting applications to be pro-
cessed. they would have to take
recruit training, and would not
get the $100 monthly bonus now
paid to medical volunteers. The
law sets no deadline on when a
doctor not in the reserves could
enroll and escape the draft.
Those who don't and are drafted
would be taken in according to
this priority:
l. Former students who got
some of their medical training at
Government expense but served
less than 80 days.
2. Those in the same group
who served more than 80 days
but less than 81 months in the
last war.
3. Those who were not trained
at Government expense but did
not serge in the armed forces or
Public Health Service.
4. Those privately trained who
have been in military service
Those with the least service would
go first.
May Take 3 or 4 Months.
A high Pentagon official said he
thought a draft proclamation
providing for registration of the
medical men would be ready for
the Presidents signature this
week. 1t may be three or four
months, however. before draft
machinery is ready to put them
into uniform.
Meanwhile, the Army already
has put out a call for 734 medical
reserviSts to be called involun-
tarily, and the Navy has asked
for 461 call-ups, officials said.
Significantly, the Army has only
