11 Th Statecnca. Salem Oregon, Sunday, SepknuW 21 1852 Doctors Dentists Thousands of Older to By CLARKE BEACH WASHINGTON MP) Thousands of older doctors and dentists who until recently thought Selective Service was something only younger practioners had to worry about are . headed lor 24 months' military duty. ' : ' . The supply of younger, draft-eligible doctors and dentists is giv ing out. The Armed Forces will begin to take older dentists, late this year, older doctors early in the spring. . .... v . V The situation is almost as dis turbing to the Armed Forces as it is. to many established medical and dental men with heavy fam ily responsibilities. In accordance with usual policy, the doctors and -dentists who have been in practice for a long- time wiU be given the ranks of major, lieutenant com mander, lieutenant colonel or com mander. ; "Tooj Many Majors "We'll have all chiefs and no Indians, said f one Army medieal officer. The Army will have four cr five times as many majors and lieutenant colonels in the Medical Corps as its table of organization calls for. Another Army objection to hav ing too many older medical offi cers is that for combat duty in Korea a preponderance of young doctors is desirable. They are gen erally better able to stand the rig ors of the field. . All these factors now are being considered by top level planners and civilian advisers in the De fense Department and the Selec tive Service system. They hope to agree oh recommendations to Con fess for revision of the doctor draft law. As the present law will expire next June, a new one will have to be enacted anyway." Up to Ate of 50 When the Korean War erupted and the doctor draft bill was pass ed, all doctors and dentists young er thanv50 had to register for Se lective Service. , i The law, however, provided that the first call go to the 19,377 men who got their medical and dental education partly or wholly at gov ernment expense during the war and had served in the Armed Forces less than 21 months. Some of these men served less than 90 days on active duty and ;were claced in Priority I in the post-KOrea draft. Those who serv ed longer than that but less than 21 months were placed in Priority II. Men in these two priorities have been filling draft calls up to now. ; Actually only about 17 have had to be inducted. The rest, facing Induction, applied for commissions.' Now Prioritv I and II men are almost used up. Many in -Priority III have already j been examined and classified. I : Prior to World War II In Priority. Ill are those who got no part of their education at gov ernment expense; and, who have never been in military service. They consist chiefly of men who started to practice before World War II. I r a small proportion are . young post-war graduates, but most men graduating now are veterans, and all-veterans are tin Priority- IV. The law provides, that all other eligible men bej drafted before veterans. .-. j -The Defense Department ' est! mates only about 500 post - war Fnority ill physicians will be found available ;f or duty after screening for physical ' disqualifi cations and various reasons for de ferment; and somewhat fewer younger dentists. . - ; As there are" 47,360 doctors and dentists in Priority III, it is ob vious why under' present law the draft calls will be going to the older men for a long tune to come, The Armed' Forces need an aver age of 5,000 doctors and 3,200 den tists each. year as replacements. On , active duty . now are 13,360 physicians and 6,303 dentists.'
