Elected
Accountants Meet
In Blowing Rcgk;
Winkle Is Speaker
Blowing Rock, June 1ft? The
president of the American In
stitute of Accountants said here
last night that the public account
ing profession needs to enlist "a
better share of the best brains of
the younger generation."
Jay A. Phillips of Houston,
Texas addressing the Middle At
lantic State Accounting Confer
ence, said "Ota: long-range goal
should be to attract our share of
those men and women who might
have chosen law, medicine or
some other professional calling as
their life's work."
About $40,000 will be spent
this year to develop aptitude
tests for high school students, to
survey personnel practices in ac
counting firms, and to publish
opportunities in the accounting
field, he said. The institute and
its member firms have spent
$100,000 to develop accounting
aptitude tests used by colleges
and universities, Phillips added.
The president noted that the
number of certified public ac
countants in the nation has grown
from 20,000 in 1937, to 45,000 to
day. An even more rapid growth \
will be necessary to* serve busi- "
ness adequately, he said.
About 300 CPAs representing
six Southern states and the Dis
trict of Columbia are attending
the conference, which continues
through today. Technical sessions
are scheduled in the morning
with a banquet and dance to
night at Mayview Manor.
Addressing yesterday's techni
cal sessions, Justin F. Winkle of
Washington, assistant commis
sioner of the Bureau of Internal
Revenue, told of far-reaching re
forms made in the bureau by
Commissioner T. Coleman And
rews.
These range from a warmer,
more friendly tone in communi
cations to taxpayers to a plan to
relieve 30 million wage earners \
from filing an annual income tax
return, he said.
Yesterday afternoon's program
was highlighted by roundtable

Doctor Draft
Law Is Agreed
Washington ? Senate - House
conferees agreed last week qn ?
two-year extension of the doc
tor jlraft law.
The bill, a compromise between
different versions already passed
by the Senate and House, in ef
fect frees from apy future liabi
lity all doctors who have served
on active duty, in any copacity
at ali, at least 17 months since
Sept. 16. 1940.
The measure provides for a
$100 monthly bonus for doctors,
dentists and veterinarians on ac
tive duty in the armed services.
The bonus has previously been
handled in separate legislation
which, along with the present
doctor draft law, expires June 30.
The compromise version in
cludes most of the changes the
Senate made in the bill first pass
ed by the House.
It sets up the following service
requirements for those who have
had some active duty since Sept
ember, 1950:
1. Those who served 21* months
or more have no further obliga
tion, barring an all-out emer
gency.
2. Those who served more than
17 months, but less than 21, are
technically subject to call but,
