Acute Doctor Shortage
In County, AIbury Says
Hospital BID.
Told Of Need
For More Than
7 MD's In XIV.

An urgent need for more physi-
clans to serve the ever growing
population of Monroe county was
stressed by willard Albury. Mon
roe General hospital administrator
at a Board of Trustees meeting
last night.
Albury said that for a city of
10000 civilian population and ten
to 5000 Naval population Key
West certainly needs more than the
present seven civilian doctors, only
five of whom are on the staff of
the hospital.
At this moment there are only
five practicing civilian physicians
in Key West. Two of the usual
number are on vacation. The in
terne at Monroe hospital and the
resident at Galley memorial hospi-
tai do not have private practice.
More Doctors Urged
1T behooyes all civic groups to
get busy and urge more doctors TO
come to Key West. AS citizen in
terested in the welfare of our COM
munity | write the various medical
associations and medical place
ment bureaus telling them what a
fine place Key West is to live and
work in. But / speak only for my
self" Albury said.
The selection of doctors for the
hospital has to be made by the
five man medical staff of the hos
pital. Any physician can practice
in Key West, however, if he quail
flies with the State and with the
local medical society.
The trend, however, is for doc
tors to leave Key West. rather
than come into the city. Latest
physician TO announce his depar-
ture is DR.. Edward Gonzalez who
is going to study in New York. DR..
r. Megna, surgeon, who spent
few months here last winter, has
also left Key West.
The hospital has acquired an in

Senate Vote Keeps
z1,582 Jobs Under
Patronage System
By Cecil HoIIond

The Senate today retained firm
control over 1882 Federal jobs
postmasterships, United States
marShalS and customs collectors
after soundly beating three OF
President Truman's reorganization
plans.
With the support of numerous
members who normally support
the administrations policies, the
Senate yesterday defeated the
plans that would have removed
the appointments from the pa
tronage of members of Congress.
Two Days Before Deadline.
With much stronger support
than was anticipated, opponents
peat the reorganization plans two
days ahead of the deadline for
dlsapproval. The reorganizations
would have gone into effect auto
matlcally Friday midnight if
neither the House nor the Senate
had acted.
Ihls was a sharp rebuff to Mr..
Truman. But at a news confer
ence today the President only COM
mented mildly that the Senate
should have let the plans 60
through.
Opponents, led by Chairman
Mcclellan. Democrat, of Arkansas.
OF the Senate Government Op-
erations Committee, contended
the three plans would only have
transferred the politics of appoint
ment from members of Congress
to the administration in power.
supporters, led by Senator
Humphrey, Democrat, of Min
nesota, argued on the other hand
that approval of the plans would
nave removed the last major part
OF the political spoils system. |

on the reorganization plan in

II. ). Plans 10 Boost
Arms Shipments 10
|ndo-China Forces
By Gornett D. Homer

The United States plans to in
crease its arms shipments to Indo-
China to help build up the native
forces fighting with the French
against Communists there.
This was announced last night
after three days of conferences
here between State and Defense
Department officials and Jean
ILeTourneau, French Cabinet Min
lister for Indo-China.
Amount Not Announced.
The United States already is
bearing about one-third the total
cost of the battle in Indo-China.
American aid allocated in the
fiscal year ending June 30
amounted to $500 million. Just
how much this will be increased
was not announced. Officials said
IL probably will bring the Ameri-
can share of the burden to about
40 per cent.
II was announced that the in
creased American aid will he
especially devoted" to help arm
native forces assisting French
troops in combating Communist
aggression. Plans involve doubling
within two years the present four
divisions of native troops.
Behind the American decision
the Joint announcement said. was
recognition that the anti-Com-
munist battle in Indo-C China sis an
INTEGRAL part of the worldwide re-
slstance by the free nations to
Communist attempts at conquest
and subVersion." In the general
struggle, it was pointed out, the
United States assumes the major
burden in Korea while France has
the primary role in Indo-C China"
Acheson Comments.
The announcement followed a
press conference statement by
Secretary of State AcheSon that
communist aggression in Indo-
China has been checked and the
tide IS now moving in our favor"
1ndo-China will get the bulk
OF American aid authorized by
Congress for the entire Far East.
The Far East total is set at 1854
million for the next fiscal year.
Congress has not yet appropriated
the funds, however, and this may
be reduced.
Mr.. LeTourneau arranged to
leave for New York today en-
route to Paris to report to Pre-
mier Pinay on his conferences
here.
