Much of the rehabilitation of members of our armed forces may be done by state and local agencies and should not be relegated entire ly to federal control, the Connecti- cut State Medical Society declares.
 The committee on rehabilitation set up by the American Medical As- sociation Councils on Industrial Health and Physical Theapy be- lieves that rehabilitation is essen- tially 8 mdeical problem and that physicians should be informed of developments in this field and should participate effectively in currant plans. The State Medical Society Advisory committee to the Rehabilitation Service concurs in this opinion, pointing out that there will be considerable dependence on the profession to carry out the med- ical aspects of the federal-state pro- gram now in formulation.
 Nearly a million men may be dis charged from the armed forces by the end of 1944. Some of them will be casualties of battle, many more WAlA 4laNC pCCAl AOuAASl uAAVNuaA bO uAAC exacting physical and disciplinary demands of military service. A good share of the men in both groups can fortunately be reemployed with out serious difficulty. Other handi- capped men and women, however, will be returned to civilian life only through the close cooperation of physician, vocational educator and rehabilitation case worker Rehabili- tation and reemployment are i'm portant immediate problems, the need for which will grow with the increasing intensity of the war.
 The rehabilitation of veterans has been assigned by law as a respon- sibility of the Veterans Administra- tion. Disabilities which prevent re- turn to duty are treated in military hospitals where social adjustment ment and training are included with medical care. These patients are dis charged from service when sufti- ciently recovered and the Veterans Administration provides vocational training and employment, If the disability is service connected, the person is honorably discharged and in need of rehabilitation to over come his handicap.

 Fabrics which produced con- siderable chilling" the bureau said, "were found to make good contact and to cause a substantial drop in skin temperature. On the other hand, fabrics whcih caused little or no clamminess made poor con- tact
 From this discovery, the bureau drew several important conclu- sions," one being that the clammi- ness of fabrics is diminished "as their wool content is increased"
