ANNUAL REPORT OF MILITARY AFFAIRS COMMITTEE, AMERICAN ASSOCIATION OF ORTHODONTISTS, 1958

T HE Military Affairs Committee of the American Association of Ortho- dontists is pleased to present a most encouraging report relative to the

liability of the Association’s membership to military service. At this time the chances are extremely remote that any member will be required to leave his practice to serve in the Armed Forces.

Under the old “doctor-draft” law, which has been maintained in effect for some few years, dentists and physicians up to the age of 46 were subject to the draft. Shortly before the scheduled expiration of this law on .June 30, 1957, a new dentist-physician draft bill was passed by Congress and sent to the White House, where it was signed into law. The new provisions permit the induction of only those physicians and dentists who would be subject to service under the regular draft law.
