Dr. Bauer Says Doctors
Resent Being Drafted to
Care for Other Civilians
WASHINGTON, CP)—The pres
ident of the American Medical
Association wants to know how
much of his time a military doc
tor spends treating the wives and
children of servicemen.
Dr. Louis H. Bauer of tk'inp
stead, N.Y., called on the Army,
Navy and Air Force to “find out”
■because, he said:
“Questionnaires sent to (Medi
cal) men on leaving the services
cite this frequently as a cause of
resentment — namely, that they
have been drafted from civilian
life to take care of other civilians.
In urging an investigation by
the armed forces, the AMA leader
said Wednesday in an address to
the 59 h annaui meeting of the
Association of Military Surgeons
of the United States:
“ The necessity for extension of
the doctor draft law will depend
in part on the answer to this
question.”
Dr. Melvin A. Caseberg, chair
man of the Armed Forces Medical
Policy Council has said doctors up
to 51 years of age, without vet
erans’ status, may be drafted early
next year unless the present out
look in doctor supply improves.
IN APPRECIATION
The Nome Commiltee of the
Alaska Tuberculosis Association
wishes to take this occasion to
thank the Nome Public for its
generous response towards pledg
es and contributions to the 1952
TB Seals Campaign.
This is not a project of the
Nome Public School. The school
children are merely acting as
agents and .represent the only
school in Alaska for a community
of this size to take the initiative
in furthering this worthy cause.

Sec. of the Nome Commiltee
