unit is the branch of the service
where experts try to determine a
mans mental capabilities by means
of tests in which pictures, blocks,
puzzles and similar articles are
used. The story relates that Ensign
John Sharpe discovered a sleight OF
hand performer among the recruits in
detention. Mr.. Sharpe Immediately
seized the opportunity for some fun.
He called the psychiatrix unit, asked
for Chief Yeoman Dodds, and said:

out for him."
Then turning to the sleight OF
hand man, he remarked: go over
and show them a good time
When the loon. appeared 1t the
unit, Dodds showed him to q seat,
brought out the various blocks and
puzzles. and started to find out
whether his patient was born crazy
or attained 1t later.
