U S. S Public Public Public Pub Pub- lic Health service from the supplemental supplemental supplemental supple supple- mental defense bill However what most observers missed was the fact that this same committee less than six months ago I disapproved a request for medical relief on the ground that the ther r request quest should have been bigger The fund was to enable the relocation of doctors and dentists in areas where they are desperately needed and was vetoed despite warnings by War Manpower's ers er's Dr Frank H.
