Society ior Blind
Hears High Praise
For GIaucoma Clinic

Many more persons probably will
have their sight saved by recent
addition Of the new medical social
service In the glaucoma clinic at
Episcopal Eye, Ear and Throat
Hospital, 1t was predicted yesterday
by DR.. Louis s. Green, secretary gof
the hospital medical board.
Speaking at the seventh annual
luncheon meeting OF the District
Society for the Prevention Of Blind
ness at the YWCA, DR.. Greene
praised the society and the Variety
Club for establishing q new medical
eye social worker service at the
hospital. Fifteen per cent of all
blindness he said was due to glau-
coma, a disease of high tension
inside the eyeball, which gradually
reduces the field Of vision to gun
sight" proportions, and finally re-
suits in blindness unless treated.
At least rs per cent OF the cases
Of glaucoma could be 20 successfully
treated or operated upon as to save
the sight of the victims, the physi-
clan said. provided patients report
regularly for treatment. He warned
that too many patients with glau-
coma neglect treatment. Miss Phyllis
j. Howe, formery of the Massachu-
sets Eye and Ear Infirmary, the
new trained social worker, was
praised for her efficiency.
Mrs. Allen L. Worries, president of
the society, in her annual report,
expressed pride in several accom-
plishments of the year, including the
new medical social service, vision
testing of preschool children, dis
tribution Of posters, radio programs
and others.
On recommendation of the Nomi-
mating Committee, whose report was
made by Mrs. j. Stanley Hodges, the
following trustees were elected to
three-year terms: Mrs. Rudolph
Berger, DR.. Frank Costenbader,
Seton Darr, Mrs. Edwin DENLY, jr.,
Miss Elizabeth j. Dolan, Mrs. Villa
C. Van Week and DR.. WILDER; two
year term: DR.. Ella Oppenheimer,

sank or damaged IA Jap warships.
Orders were that it was o. K. for
the pilots to land on the first carrier
they picked up coming back that
night" he said. They were bound
to be almost out of gas.
"A lot of them were landing on
one of the small flattops-so many
that the elevators couldn't carry
them away-so many that they were
shortening the flight deck and more
pilots were coming in.
over the sides went the front row
of empty planes. The deck crew
just grabbed them and rolled them
over the edge into the water. That
was orders. More pilots came in and
more planes were dumped. They
had to get those pilots in"

Then, with four volunteers, he

nothing to fear. In several cases
they took them by the arm and
pulled them from shelters. Thus he

Polish Troops Score
Gains in Offensive on

Cesono Positions Seized

ROME, Aug. 11.-Polish troops,
launching an infantry and tank
offensive along a emile front on
The Adriatic coast, have captured
high ground overlooking the

patrols across the Cesano River
after a 2-rnile initial advance,
Allied headquarters said today.
The towns of Scapezzano, Mon
terado and Corinaldo were seized
as the Poles swept through the Nazi
defenses. The drive to the south
bank of the Cesano put the Poles
about half way between the cap
tured port of Ancona and the next
major town of Pesara, where the
outposts of the Adriatic end of the
Gothic Line are believed to begin
Storms Fail to Halt Onslaught.
Heavy storms slowed, but failed
to halt the onslaught. Three hun
dred prisoners were taken at the
beginning of the offensive and the
Germans suffered further heavy
casualties in attempting five unsuc-
cessful counterattacks in which they
used considerable number of self
propelled guns and mortars,
The hard-pressed Germans were
reported to have withdrawn entirely
from the south bank of the Cesano.
Troops of the Polish Carpathian
Division seized important high
ground 2 miles northeast of Lacroce
after that village was taken in the
first hour of the attack.
Heavy continuous rain fell along
the entire 5th Army front and thun-
derStormS were common on most of
