The overall purpose of MIR. Bura S
section will be to conduct research
in the prosthetics field, with view
to advising veterans as to the best
type of limb. To this end it will
study all limbs manufactured in this
country, borrowing limbs from
makers to create a complete "mu-
scum" of available types.
I'VE do not propose to dictate to the
veteran what type of limb he must
employ" spokesman said. I'VE
plan to present him with a choice
of all limbs available, and the
necessary information on which to
base an intelligent choice"
He explained that the plan to
create the new section was complete
long before yesterdays recomy
mendation of a House subcommittee
that prosthetics research be con-
solidated under a single Federal
agency.
IF Congress decides to do that,
it's strictly their business" the
spokesman said. Meanwhile we are

to a statement made by William A.
Reinhart, manager of the Chesa-

streets have been cleared of land

Lighting at Night
Many outfits are using shells of
buildings in Naha for headquar-

been reinstated in one building.
Portable power units provide cleo

at night Naha resembles an active

Immediately north of Naha is
the Asa estuary. The original
crossing there was costly in men,
time and materials. Five times
bridges were knocked out before
Marines got across and silenced the
Jap artillery. Two-way traffic now
moves in steady streams.

they were first to have Red Cross
