D. C.. Will Survey 'Rejectees'
With View to Rehabilitation
Men Turned Down for Droft Should
Get Attention at Once, Medical Society Told

A survey Of the District OF Colum-
bia to determine how many "rejec-
tees" who have been refused for
military service could be quickly
brought up to an acceptable physical
standard will soon be launched as
part Of a Nation wide program.
This was disclosed today at the
18th annual scientific assembly of
the Medical Society of the District
at the Mayflower Hotel by DR.. War
rem F. Draper, assistant to the sur
geon general. United States Public
Health Service, and by Medical
Society officials.
A conference Of representative of
several agencies, headed by District
selective service officials. is scheduled
for Tuesday to study the problem.
Beside the selective service officials,
conferees will include the Medical
Society, Dental Society, the District
Chapter of the Red Cross and the
Health Security Administration.
Details of the local plan have not
been disclosed. but they are under
stood to be in line with the Nation
wide program.
Survey Is Conducted.
"The Public Health Service be-
lieves," DR.. Draper told the assem-
bly,. that the young men rejected by
selective service or the Army for
correctible physical defects and for
venereal disease should be given
medical attention-Without cost II
necessary.
The Selective Service Admins
tration is now conducting a survey
of 20 scattered communities to de-
termine how many rejectees can be
quickly brought up to par physically,
and how much such rehabilitation
will cost.
when this survey is complete
recommendations for a national re-
| habilitation program will be in
corporated into bill for submis-
sion to Congress. Federal Security
Administrator McNutt, on advice of
the Health and Medical Commit
tee, already has approved, in princi-
pie. the rehabilitation of these young
men. Naturally such a rehabilita-
ton program will be voluntary on
the part of the rejectee."
Called National Problem.
StreSSing the percentage of re-
jectees as presenting a national
problem, DR.. Draper said that Sc
lective service and Army physical
examinations disclosed the "un-
happy condition" that "43 per cent,
nearly half, were physically UNIT
for general military service"
The most common condition, DR..
Draper explained, was bad teeth"
Most of the men with physical de-
fects could be made fit for military
service by simple medical, dental
or surgical treatment.
Among other speakers today were
DR.. Robert V.'Seliger of Johns Hop
kins University, DR.. William G..
Lennox of Harvard University, DR..
Wendell S. Muncie of Johns Hop
kins, DR.. Joseph C. Yaskin of the

This little tWo-person quilting
party came about through a hus-
bands love for sewing as means

In point of fact, Mr.. Prince cuts
out the little pieces of cloth for the
crazy quilt design and then sews to-
gether on a machine the largest.
Small pieces are tur-Ied over to Mrs.
Prince who stitches them by hand.
Mrs. Princes eyeSight is partially
to blame for this division. Her eyes
have become so bad that she labors
with difficulty, but with much
perseverance. Some of the quilts
she puts together have as many as
648 pieces.
But the ratio of work is ideally
fitted to their situation. II was Mr..
Prince who wanted something to
do. and he it was who first took up
the idea OF sewing for the Red Cross.

TIL Potomac Commission, headed

has never swum. fished or boated

seen it six times, while motoring

ing at Harvard and in industry. and
as such has battled with the Cum

every dirty small stream IN his

He put on rubber boots and
waded to get samples of water. He
climbed out on railroad treStles to
get to currents of big rivers. He
hiked miles through forests to reach
his streams. He spent hours in the
laboratory figuring out what makes
water 60 wrong.
Some of His Victories.
There was the case of the town
which emptied all its waste into a
small river which ran on along the
town boundary. The odor became
so offensive that in the business
section members of office staffs fire.
quentlv became Ill. A partial rene
dy was found when large bypass
sewer was constructed to carry the
waste to larger and more distant
stream.
There was the town which found
sudden Objectionable taste in its
drinking water at sporadic intervals.
Trouble was traced to an industrial
plant above town which emptied its
waste into the river. A remedy was
found when a retaining basin was
built to admit the waste into the
stream slowly, instead of in huge
patches
Now Mr. Kittrell has got himself
a real job, a river with bad repu-
tation." He has moved his wife
and small son to a house in Rock
vile, Md, and settled down here
for long crusade against evil in
