REOPENING OF BILLINGS NEAR

Medical Society to Recruit

Resident Physicians.

Veterans administration officials at Washington, D. C., were notified today of the Indianapolis Medical

society's decision to help recruit resi-

dent and part-time physicians: for a proposed reopening of Billings general hospital at Ft. Harrison. Only the approval of top VA officials is needed now to reopen the hospital for treatment of disabled veterans, for-whom facilities have been limited. Use of the abandoned army hospital, which was closed last montH, is expected to augment the 450-bed capacity of the established Cold Spring rd. hospital. As many as 500 beds may be placed into use at Billings general hospital, it has been indicated, Temporary Measure Reopening of Billings General hospital will be a temporary measure, until a proposed new 500-bed veterans hospital can be built here. President Truman yesterday approved construction of the hospital, with the exact site to be determined

later. It cannot be made ready for occupancy, however, until the fall of 1949, under present plans. The medical group's approval last! night was heralded by William E.| Sayer, Indiana department adjutant

of the American legion, as “the go-!

ahead we need.”

Facilities at Billings General hos- |

pital are ready for immediate use, Dr. Delmar Goode, VA regional medical director, has told officials of the Legion and Medical society. He said he could begin to move a staff into the institution “on about 10 hours notice.” Accept Pledge Dr. E. Vernon Hahn, president, and Dr. William N, Wishard Jr,

council chairman, of the Indianap-|

olis Medical society accepted the

unanimous pledge of members to)

assist in recruiting an estimated resident physician for every 35-50 veterans at the Ft. Harrison hospital. In addition, an effort will be made to recruit one part-time medical consultant for every 35-50 patients; one orderly for every five, and one nurse for every 15. The society decided to defer un-

COURT CHOICE

Successor to ‘Chief Justice Stone May Be New Man. |

WASHINGTON, April 24 (U. P), —Informed capitol circles believed today that President Truman would elevate one of the present associate justices of the supreme court to succeed the late Harlan Fiske Stone as chief justice, The President is free, by law, to take any course he desires. He could go outside the present court and pick a new chief justice or elevate one of the present members of the bench. He could pick either a Democrat or a Republican. He could even name a chief justice without legal background if he chose. On the basis of nothing but cone Jecture pending the President's ree turn from his Chesapeake bay cruise, however, it was generally expected that he would: ONE: Elevate Associate "Justice Stanley F. Reed, Robert H. Jackson or, possibly, Hugo L. Black to bes come chief justice. Orders 30-Day Mourning TWO: Pick a new man—either Democrat or Republican--for the associate justiceship thus vacated. The White House expected Mr, Truman to return from his vacation cruise in time for the Stone funeral tomorrow afternoon. Senate sources” expected him to make his court decision promptly. Mr. Truman ordered a 30-day pe= riod of national mourning for the late chief justice—~the same tribute given to Presidents who die in office. He directed that the national flag be flown at half-staff on all publie buildings during the mourning period and that Mr. Stone be given appropriate military and naval honors. Funeral services for Mr. Stone are scheduled at 1 p. m. (Indianapolis time) tomorrow at the Episcoe

pal national cathedral. Burial will « be in a Washington cemetery,
