CLEVELAND, Jan. 5.-Principles
taught by the late DR.. George w
Grille of Cleveland have found their
widest application in the treatment
of war casualties, Brig, Gen. Fred
w. Rankin, president of the Amer
lean Medical Association. asserted
last night at memorial services for
the noted scientist who
died January 7.
THE saving Of thousands of lives
already has resulted from an ap-
probation of the role which the
gentle handling of tissues plays in
the prevention of shock" Gen
Rankin declared, "a principle which
he imbued in the surgeons of Amer
lea through the forceful presenta-
ton Of his concepts and observa-
tons.
His development and perfection
OF techniques for repairing blood
vessels constitute a protecting arch
over the lives of our soldiers, ar
arch in which his work on shock
can be hkened to a keystone, sup
ported by his contributions to blooo
TRANSMISSION and vascular surgery
The potential benefits which will
eventually accrue to military per-
sonnet from the application of the
tenets which he espoused can hardly
