Reaccreditation Loss At Decatur General Hospital
Commission officials in Chicago said Wednesday the hospital has been deleted from the list of accredited institutions on the survey team’s recommendation. The facility had been accredited for one year after a 1971 inspection and met standards then. New revisions in January left some unmet due to remodeling and verbal recommendations not in written standards. Officials expect no major problems in meeting recommendations. About 30 percent of Decatur General’s patient load is subsidized by Medicaid and Medicare, linking accreditation to eligibility for these programs.

Draft Set At 4 800
Washington AP The smallest draft callup since April 4 800 men has been announced for September by the Selective Service. The draft will extend to men with lottery numbers no higher than 75 the same ceiling as in August. Acting director Byron V Pepitone said Wednesday that sufficient men are available at number 75 and below. They include men 1A and 1AO who recently lost deferments or whose initial postponements expire in September. Men with numbers through 100 are being ordered for pre induction physical exams though officials say the ceiling could remain at 75 through the year. The September callup raises the total for the year to 35 900. The Defense Department has put its 1972 draft needs at 50 000. The Army is inducting all draftees. Meanwhile the Army Recruiting Command at Hampton Virginia said June was its best month for male enlistment in nearly three years with 18 175 signing up and it is offering a 1 500 bonus for those agreeing to go into combat units for four years. The usual enlistment period is three years while draftees serve two years.
