Petition Seeks Defense Help To Keep La Porte Doctor
About 2 000 residents in the La Porte Bayshore area urge Defense Secretary Lovett and the Highith Naval District commander to defer Dr G M Miller from duty. Miller has a 60 day naval sail while Dr Robert Brown and Dr Mock remain as active or near active physicians in a 20 000 population district. If Miller serves, the area would have only Brown and Mock, with Mock injured and both other doctors subject to draft. Petitioners question government effectiveness and fear loss of medical protection to a catastrophic level. Funeral Director Ad Simpson leads the effort to preserve local medical coverage as officials weigh the petition Monday.
