Air Force Discovers Paradise
In North Africa, General Says

the air evacuation methods map
ped by the United States.
The general said he had ex-
planned the methods used by the
United States in Korea required
virtually no additional aircraft,
that the same planes sent to the
war zone and front lines with sup
plies and troops are used to bring
back wounded.
Until the Paris meeting, he said,
there had been no attempt to
bring the medical officers of NATO
together to consider common

Gen. Armstrong said that while
he did not consider medical ia
cilities at the European and Afri-
can bases adequate. the health
rate Of Air Force personnel there
had been almost as good in this
country.
He credited much of this to the
air evacuation of critically i'll per-

Doctors Asked
TO Boost Goal

In D. c. Call to Set
'Puttern for Success

District doctors have been asked
Ito raise $3.50 more for the 1858
Community Chest-USO Campaign
than they pledged last year.
DR.. Raymond T. Holden. chair
man of the physicians group in
the campaign, called on the med
ical men to "set a pattern for
success" in an editorial in the
October issue Of Medical Annals.
1--WE want the other groups to
say of us. If the doctors can do
it every year, we can. too,'" DR..
Holden wrote. ..g
Exceeded Quota Last Year.
He pointed out that last year
the physicians attained ia per
cent Of their quota. The quota
this year is $37,850.
DR.. Holden listed the 16 basic
services provided by Red Feather
|agencies in the area:
Adoption services, hospital care,
clinic care. care for the aged, care
for the homeless and neglected
children, day care for children of
working mothers, care for unmar-
ried mothers. mental health serv-
ices. nursing care in the home,
emergency direct relief, marriage
gcounseling. counseling on personal
and family problems, health edu-
cation, rehabilitation of the phys
ically handicapped. recreation
services for youth development
and services to the armed forces.
He noted that five of the serv-
ices are entirely medical and
health projects, and virtually all
the others are close to the field
of medicine.
Medicine Not All, He Says.
While many doctors are giving
time and talents to the agencies,
"even the best medicine will not
avail if we cannot offer these un-
fortunates food, shelter and care,
counsel and guidance. and these
services require money, and a lot
of it. from all Of u.s." DR.. Holden
wrote.
He also made the point that
"for us to go back to the 102
individual pass-the-hat solicita-
ton to continue these needed COM
munity services would be like go
ing back to horse-and-buggy med-
icine."
The doctors quota is part of a
$158,433 objective for the pro-
fessional group. The campaign
seeks an overall goal of $4,150, 900
in the area.
AS of the latest official report.
