Hall of the Duke University School of Medi cine has just returned from over seas where he spent two anil one half months in Germany at the request of the Army Air Forces investigating German scientists and German wartime research in the field of aviation medicine. Leaving on October 14, 1946, Dr. Hall visited seven principal cities in the Reich, returning on Decem ber 31, 1946, to this country. Dur ing the course of his stay abroad he interviewed over 75 German research scientists, recommending many of them for scientific posts in this country. Men thus recom mend* d and passed upon together with any equipment of value will he brought to this counti-y for research in connection with avia tion medicine under the auspices of the Army Air Forces. Scientists brought to this coun try will work entirely under mili tary supervision at military posts. After from three to six months good conduct and upon evidence of satisfactory progress the scient ists will he isermitted to bring their families to this country. Dr. Hall served with the Army Air Forces as chief of its physio logical branch. With a staff of over 200, including 50 doctors, I)r. Had met the air corps needs for an artificial device which would en able fliers t© operate with a max imum of efficiency and a minimum of danger at altitudes as high as 40,000 feet. In short, it was done through the development of oxy gen equipment for high altitude combat flying. Dr. Hall wrote the first direc tive used in the training of our air crews in the use of oxygen and oxygen equipment in high alti tudes. A necessary adjaaset to the de velopment of the oxygen tank was a chamber in which to test it and to record human reaction to its use. For this, Dr. Hal! and his section at Duke made a high alti tude chamber in which they are able to simulate conditions under which a flier «i 9 labor at any altitude. The high altitude pressure cham ber at Duke is equipped with a I'ecording device developed by Dr. Hal] which records data on the respiratory activity of the person on whom the experiment is being made. This equipment enables one to tell how many breaths the per son being tested takes in one min ute, how much oxvgen he absorbs in each breath and his total oxy gen intake per minute. This test is run on a person at rest, and again when he is exerting him self, as pedaling a bicycle. It was (Continued t.n page eight) YES, WE DO JOB PRINTING 5 Cents Per Copy.

Hospital Beils ; Available For Vets ——o I A new program designed to make ■ more beds available for veterans who have not been able to enter ; VA hospitals because of bed short ages has been put in affect by the Veterans Administration, the VA Asheville Sub-Regional Office re vealed today. . Under the new program VA • hospital managers are authorized . to furlough patients whose treat • ment can be completed adequately out of the hospitals and thereby , make available the beds they would occupy to other veterans . also in need of hospitalization. Thus a greater number of veter ans can be given medical care than previously was possible. The program divides the pa tients whose hospitalization may be shortened by this procedure into service-connected and non service-connected cases. Service connected patients, whose disabilities have improved suffici ently to be treated elsewhere, will be discharged from VA* hospitals and will receive out-patient treat ment in VA hospital clinics or stations, or on a fee basis “as cir cumstances warrant.’’ Transpor ta'ion for this treatment may be fur?i. ~hed at Government expense. Nonservice-eonnected case, who can be given final treatment on an out-patient basis, will be granted leaves of absence from VA hospi tals but will continue to be carried on the hospital rolls as patients. They then will report for treat ment only in VA hospital cKnics or field stations. The Government will not pay transportation costs or other expenses for this treat ment, and will not provide treat ment outside VA installations. : VA emphasized that the pro gram will apply only to those pa tients whose actual period of hos ! pitalization may be shortened by - this method, without prolonging t treatment or impeding recovery. 1 -—Annie Louise Dunn will spend J the week-end with a girl friend in Sraitanburg, S.
