This work consists of review ing the claims for government assist | ance of i'll or disabled Word war vet erans The men who are here are ex- perts in the various capacities in which | they are serving, and any former ser vice man who is sick or disabled ana | feels that he has not been dealt justly | with by the government as to his claims for assistance should see them and present the details of his case. They will do the res,. The squad will be here today (Thurs- day) and goes from here to Norwich, where it will be located at the court house building on Friday and Saturday | of this week.

No other stops are sched- uled for eastern Connecticut Former service men who live in any of the towns in Windham or New London counties are invited by the squad to come in and present all facts about cases where sick or disabled soldiers feel that the government has not dealt as generously with them as they feel should be the case.
 | The squad is made up of Stephen MacRae, who is the contract representa- tive of the Veterans Bureau; Godfrey Hass. special representative of the American Red Cross; P. E. Cox, field secretary of the American Legion; Hen ry l.. Gufte, vocational manager, Dr. Do'an and pr. Patton. examining physi- clans, and L. H. N.

Instancing what the group of which h> is a member is | prepared to do for veterans who have suffered misfortune MT. Hass cited on "Wednesday the case of veteran who came to the office of the squad in Will limantic This young mana farmer was i'll and not aware of the nature of his trouble One of the physicians of the squad found that the World war man. who had been gassed overseas, was running a temperature and suffer isg from incipient tuberculosis. Action already has been taken to provide the necessary care for the sufferer that his life may be saved.
 At Bridgeport the squad considered the cases of 297 former service men, at Hartford 21S. at New Haven 25o. In Hartford 78 examinations were given.
