A skin cream that provides pro-
lection against one OF the deadliest
and most disabling of battle hazards
flash burns-has been perfected at
the Naval Medical Research Insti-
tute in Bethesda and is being dis
tributed to the fleet for trial in
combat conditions.
A man may escape fragments
from a bursting shell, aerial bomb
or torpedo, it was explained, only
to be frightfully burned by the
flash" or heat accompanying the
explosion. Naval officials said that
burns rank second only to gunshot
and shell augmentation wounds as
a cause of battle casualties In the
Navy and Marine Corps.
Will Aid Tank Crews.
The cream also possesses benefits
to tank crews since large propor-
ton of their injuries is caused by
powder and fuel flash burns.
The substance has the consistency
OF ordinary cold cream and is battle
ship grey in color. About an ounce
and half smeared across the face,
neck, forearms and hands will af-
ford positive" protection to those
parts of the body.
1t is not necessary to apply the
thin coating to covered portions of
the body since clothing alone. even a
thin undershirt, provides adequate
protection against all but the most
intense fash burns

Advise Skin Toughening.
One Of the recommendations in
their report to Rear Admiral Ross
T. Mc1ntire, surgeon general of the
Navy, was that men aboard ships
and in armored units be instructed
to tougher their skin by exposure to
sunlight and wind"
They emphasized the cream is not
intended to replace such antiflash
clothing as hood. face mask and
gloves but to supplement these gar
ments. The ointment. the report
stated. should be of particular value
for the man who, for various rea-
sons, cannot conveniently use the

Voices Opposition
To State Medicine
BY CARTER BROOKE JONES.


Opposition to state medicine"
was expressed yesterday by Rear
Admiral Ross T. McIntire, surgeon
general of the Navy and personal
physician to President Roosevelt, In
an address before the 18th scientific
assembly of the District Medical So
ciety at the Mayflower Hotel.
In discussion of postwar medical
problems, Admiral McIntire said he
would dislike to see the present
practice of medicine disturbed rad
ically. At the same time he raised
this question:
How much can medicine allow
the Federal Government to do with
out endangering the privacy of med
icine and bringing about so-called
state medicine?"
Lean Years "Predicted."
He predicted lean years" after
the war, when many people would
not have the price to pay for med
ical treatment, especially in hospi-
tails, and he said it was up to the
doctors to work out some plan that
would allow no one to suffer and
at the same time preserve the in
dependence of the profession.
THE doctors fee," he said,
doesn't amount to two hoots in a
medical case"
And he pointed out that hospital
and laboratory fees were high-too
expensive for many persons.
1T is possible" Admiral McIn-
tire added, Ito work out a plan ac-
ceptable to the public and to the
doctors"
He conceded that ma jority of
the doctors under so had been taken
into the armed services and spoke
of the problem this entailed In car
ing for civilians.
Admiral McIntire predicted that
no more than third of the
commissioned physicians would re-
turn to civil life The rest, he said,
would stay in the services to take
care of Army and Navy needs
among forces which would remain
for long time throughout the
world.
Floating Population Seen.
He said the dislocation of popu-
lations. brought about by the con-
centration of war industries, would
be serious problem in postwar
America.
I'VE will have floating popula-
ton fall upon u.s." he pointed out.
The doctors will be responsible for
the health of these people. and one
of the greatest responsibilities will
be to see that epidemics do not
start"
This war, Admiral McIntire indi-
Gated caught the armed services
unprepared for the heavy demands
on their medical services, and it
was necessary to rush large num-
bers of doctors from civil life into
the combat forces. He praised the
reserve medical officers for their
service.
After the war. he suggested. the
medical professions should plan for
any future emergency. so that there
would not be the confusion there
was at the start Of this war.
1t should be planned. he said, so
that not only the military forces.
but civilians should be looked after
properly.
