young doctors and their wives ing care of a king's harem,

nel Bureau, one of the oldest doc-| tor placement agencies in the] country, revealed yesterday that| it is searching for ‘a couple to fill the job. The doctor must be young, his wife also must be a physician, and they must-have no children. The personnel bureau said the king lives in a “sultry” far-off country, but that his {identity otherwise must remain a secret. Dickson Woodward, whose wife owns the bureau, said he was “amazed” at the response he got after the story of the job quest was picked up by newspapers and raido and television stations. “We're flooded with telephone calls and telegrams,” he said. “We had a call from London, and {a doctor in Houston, Tex. called to inquire about it.”

Many Screened

Mr. Woodward said the bureau has screened many couples and has picked five who might qualify. But he said a final decision would require several more weeks. | Mr. Woodward said the couples | screened by the bureau will be; sent to New York for interviews with a representative of the king. | Those who pass that screening will be sent to Washington for| further talks, apparently with the king's ambassador. ! The lucky couple will live in a palace amid waving palms and | the magic of starlit nights on the desert.
