KANSAS HOSPITALS IN ALL-OUT EFFORT Harbor This is indicated by both growing sales of bonds and stamps at the tenth district Federal Reserve bank and at the Kansas City post-office and by the backlog

value of :1 million dollars for an all-time record since the Issue went on sale Charles Phillips Jr assistant cashier reported yesterday 1 This compares with sales of $8- 138500 in November and 89171000 In October The largest total previously was $15712000 last June when the bank began selling the Issue More important it is considered Is the backlog Friday night the bank had unfilled orders in this district for 89000 bonds of various denominations A shipment yesterday of 32000 pieces which were distributed immediately cut the figure to 57000 bonds One member bank alone Phillips reported has on deposit 8136000 for the purchase of bonds for which it has been unable to get delivery A great many others are in the same position he said This condition exists even before the organized

cope with any hospitalization emergency in this area The school of medicine has been placed on a I2-month basis as a first step The change from the 9-month schedule to one around the calendar will reduce to three years the time required to complete the course enabling the government to obtain more physicians in less time Columbia Company Formerl3 Porterfield witi Make Only I ark The Columbia

acting manager said last night Porterfield who has been In the aircraft business since 1927 said the decision of the army to purchase other types of "grasshopper" planes had eliminated the possibility of military orders for the Kansas City plant This move almost eliminated any priority rating on parts for the Porterfield Collegiate trainer he said The Porterfield company was taken over several months ago by Auchincloss Parker Redpath eastern investment bankers They had anticipated a part in the army program of use of the small "flivver" type planes The plant formerly employed about 125 men Yesterday there were forty-one employees and Porterfield said only eight would be at work tomorrow Production now with the absence of parts to complete planes will be confined to building replacement

planes above heard bombs exploding and divers roaring over the air base saw smoke and flame shooting up "There was no difficulty seeing the planes from the windows and no doubt they weren't look entirely different and we saw the red circles and knew "It was the only possible time such a thing could have happened there Any other day there would have been more activity at the field" Roberts

$5100- 000 in series showing the surge of small investors to take part in the war effort The Treasury Phillips asserted has authorized the bank to permit corporations using the pay roll deduction plan for bond purchases to become issuing agents by making application The reserve bank now is permitted also to reimburse banks and other issuing agents for the costs of mail delivery of bonds outside

of the University of Kansas School of Medicine said the lengthened term would turn out approximately 5000 more physicians over a 4-year period More than 5000 students are graduated each year in the nation's schools and one full year would be gained through the 12- mcnth schedule every four years The lengthened term will call for an increase in the teaching staff That may prove a problem but the real problem at the Illansas institution is the Kansas law It requires that every person desiring to practice medicine in the state complete four medical courses of not less than six lnonths each no two courses being in the same year Dean Wahl admitted the conflict between the school's plan and the law but said he believed that due to the national emergency the Kansas State Medical board would have power to approve any plan that would be beneficial to the nation's war effort sr VP SPECIAL UNIT Another emergency step at the hospitals is the organization of a group of forty persons trained to meet any known crisis It contains i specialists senior medical students nurses and orderlies It is prepared to set up fifty extra beds at the hospitals The unit is on a 24-hour call basis and is under the direction of Dr Thomas Orr head of the surgical department The Institution is expecting a great number of government medical officers to be enrolled with it soon to specialize in certain branches Dr Wahl said there were comparatively few specialists available for military service and that the government planned to send its own medical officers now in the service to various teaching hospitalsi for training in their special fields' The University of Kansas hospitals has been designated by the government as EvacuatioA hospital No 77 That means a unit of twenty-five physicians on the hospitals' staff has been selected to act as a base-hospital unit wherever it may be called The physicians are commissioned officers in the reserve corps All of the expansions made and planned require enlargement of the nursing unit There are two dames of nurses at the hospital in training each year one in the early fall and one in December FLOCK TO THE AIR CORPS OSS I II For a Happier and
