OF glasses, Col. Frederick H. Thorne,
head of the hospital at Keesler
Field, Biloxi, Miss, last night told
the semiannual meeting of the de-
partment of ophthalmology OF
George Washington University
School of Medicine, that service
reorganization is needed to meet
the huge demands made upon Army

This reorganization, Col. Thorne
declared, should be effected through
placing the ophthalmological serv-
ice under one director, stationed in
the surgeon generals office.
Col. Thorne listed problems fac
ing service ophthalmologists as the
lack of trained personnel available
administrative details, delays in get
ing spectacles and the rapid flow
of trainees through the large CEN
tiers. A central head co-ordinating
the many aspects of the centers
would utilize more efficiently the
equipment and personnel on hand
