Army Warns Of
Bogus Aid For
Blind Soldiers

Washington, d. C.-The War De-
partment issued a warning to the
public today to be on guard against
fraudulent solicitation of funds
based on pleas for aid to blinded
soldiers.
Despite the fact that the Army
Medical Department has announced
that thus far IS men have suffered
total blindness in this war, medical
officers have reported circulation
of transformation and rumors that
there are thousands of blind cas-
ualties.
Several hoaxes already have been
detected. In one instance in West
Coast city three blind men, none
of whom ever had been in the
military service, were represented
in a newspaper story as veterans
who had been blinded in action
against the Japanese in the South
Pacific. The blind men did not
know that they were to be describ-
ed as ex-soldiers and repudiated
efforts to use them as pawns in
the scheme.
The Army Medical Department
gives complete care to blind sol
diers and retains them in hospitals
until they have received the maxi.
mum benefit from their treatment
including re-education and train
ing for adjustment to civil life
