ARMY SEEKING 5000 DOCTORS
McNutt May Invoke Draft Law if Volunteers Don’t Report July 1.
Times Special WASHINGTON, June 11 —A drive by the war department to get 5000 physicians, dentists and surgeons in the army by July 1 is under way. backed by the blunt warning, of Paul V, McNutt, manpower chief, that the draft machinery will be invoked to get them if the offer of commissions does not, In the first six months of the war only 3000 physicians who were not obligated by reserve commissions volunteered, The army now has about 20,000 physicians, needs 42,000 by the end of the year and a posible 50,000 io 65,000 if the army grows above 7,000,000.
Commissions Offered
Any medical man who wants to enter the army can get a commission, usually a first lieutenancy although some have been commis sioned as captains and majors. But even that preferred treatment has not brought in sufficient numbers and there is no indication that the present type of procurement organization will produce the number required, Mc. McNutt told the American Medical association convention in Atlantic City. The machinery now in use consists of state and county committees of physicians, an organization
tion, These committees work under the procurement and assignment service of the war manpower commission.
Boards Seek Recruits
Also the surgeon general of the army has officer recruiting boards working in 27 states east of the Mississippi, and more boards are being established as quickly as possible in the western states. Questionnaires were circulated to the 160,000 medical men in the country by the procurement and assignment service, asking the doc-
tors if they preferred military, governmental, industrial or civilian service.
If the war department falls short of its goal of 5000 by July 1, it is believed that Mr. McNutt will use his power as manpower chief to revise the procurement machinery and invoke the draft law to foree
