There is much significant research
in mental and emotional disorders.
The emphasis here is on prevention
rather than cure and the treatment
is social rather than individualistic.
Psycho-pathology does not degener-
ate into middle class form Of con-
spicuous consumption.
In capitalist society there is evil
dence Of a large increase Of neuroses.
Personality Illustrations are common
and flow from such factors as I'M
employment and economic in
security. SUpeTstitions connected
with religion and excessive feelings
Of guilt related to sex are factors
that have added to this increase.
The basis Of all these phenomena
can be traced to the decaying social
order
In the Soviet Union the destruc+
ton Of capitalism eliminated the
sources listed above. At a recent
congress Of psychiatrists in Kher-
kov, the scientists agreed that the
common neuroses had declined in
the Soviet Union in contrast to the
increase in capitalist countries.
The conflicts that remain have
been carefully studied and socio-
psychological techniques, have been
worked out to combat them. De-
mentia praecox. which is still the
most frequent organic disorder. has
decreased. People who show early
symptoms in either school or fac
tory are Immediately treated. Manic
cases are placed in factory shock
brigades to use up their excess en-
orgies, and prevent excessive depres-
sions.
The prostitutes were taught So
cially useful tasks, and took their
place in the great task of building
Of socialism. As a result of the
practical disappearance of prostitu-
ton, syphilis and paresis have de-.
creased.
Education in the schools and fac,
tories has reduced the excessive use.
of alcohol, and consequently delir-
ium tremens is much less frequent.
Hysteria among women, to cite an
other example, is less frequently en-.
countered now that they have full
economic and social and political
equality.

ANNA STEM is better, much better,
n than in her last picture, Mana"
In spite OF makeup, accent and
over acting, she manages to impart
a certain freshness to her role as
the peasant girl.
Frederic March as the prince is
adequate. The rest of the cast are
familiar performers and easily
recognizable from behind their aris-
tocratic boards. There are numer-
Gus interesting scenes in the pic
ture apart from its rendering of
Tolstoi's book, but my personal
opinion is that the film would have
been better if the producers had
never heard of Resurrection" by
Tolstoi and went ahead with Anna
Stem on their own rights.

as favoring the boycott of German
goods, General John Ross Della
field, George Macdonald, Herbert
S. Houston and Easley.
The professional patriot" was
constantly meeting with and writ

ducing him to prominent Jews. At
private meetings at the homes of
his friends, Easley spoke in glowing
terms of Viereck. At one meeting
he waxed eloquent in claiming that
Viereck was cooperating" through
him (Easley) with Cyrus Adler of
the American Jewish Committee.
At this meeting filled with anti
semitic propagandists, EaSley read
letter he sent to Morris Waldman,
secretary of the American Jewish
Committee, outlining the proposed
Good Will Commission to consist
of SO Jews, SO Germans, SO Amer
leans who were not to be Jews. and
one man, to be chairman, to be APP
pointed by President Roosevelt.
WHILE these conferences were
W going on, Easley convinced
Waldman of the American Jewish
Committee that one of the things
the Jews, who were fighting anti
Semitism in this country, should do
is show that not all Communists
are Jews and not all Jews are Com
munists. The American Jewish
Committee, being opposed to Com
munism generally, continued to
keep in touch with Easley, feeling
that perhaps in this way they
would lessen the growing anti
senitism in the United States.
However, while these conferences
were going on with the Nazi agent
Viereck in the background, Easley
was conf1dentially reporting to him
on the activities and plans of the
Jews as well as laying schemes
which would enable the Nazis to
come out with blasts of publicity
for themselves. For instance, I

WORLD Of the MOVIES
Neither TOLst0i, Resurrection

WE LIVE AGAIN, United Artists
production at the Radio City
Music Hall.
Reviewed by
DAVID PLATT

A LTHOUGH there is neither Toll
II stoi, Resurrection nor Russia in
Maxwell Anderson's adaptation of
Tolstoi's novel, titled 1--WE Live
Again" can say it is much more
plausible and modest a production
than the previous attempt with
Dolores Del Rio a year or SO ago,
which I still remember because of
the expense, noise and bad acting.
But the director Of I'VE Live
Again" has sacrificed authenticity
of scene and custom for rich pic
torial attractiveness which gives
the picture a quality the adapted
story does not possess. The film
bears too many obvious marks of
having been made far from the
setting of Tolstoi's novel. The dia-
logue often seems more appropri-
ate for locale somewhere in Civil
War Virginia than Moscow 1875.
I could even swear the Russian
locomotive whistle heard at one
point in the picture was off the
Pennsylvania Railroad Express.
So far only the Russians have
been able to capture the spirit of
the great Russian novelists and
this is natural, although one Won
ders why so many American direc-
tors have thus far failed to transfer
the spirit of American history or
literature satisfactorily to t h e
screen. The studio sets and styli-
cized acting in 1--WE Live Again"
just don't seem to lend themselves

TAPPTNG SOLAR ENFRGY

. Il IA Z NV JULIAN LNLLAAL4
/ Soviet scientists and engineers
have for some time been carrying
on experiments designed to utilize
the heat energy Of the sun. Small
sun boilers have been constructed
that have higher eficiencies than
similar boilers built in other coun-
tries.
In Samarkand at the Hello
Technical Institute they have built
a solar air heater which dries fruits
and vegetables in a few hours
where older methods require days.
At Tashkent, a kitchen is being
operated with a solar energy plant.
Food is cooked; water is boiled;
and water pumped into a tower,
all with power supplied by the sun.
The first big application Of these
solar researches is to take the form
Of a power plant of 10000 kilowatts
capacity which is being designed
now. The plant is to pump over
million gallons of water in ten
hours to arid regions.
SYNTHETIC RADIUM RAYS
Professor E. o. Lawrence of the
University of California has dis
covered a way to make the COM
mon element sodium give out the
penetrating gamma rays through
artificial means. The radiation
will be very useful in the treatment
Of diseases like cancer and in
studying the effects of radiation on
living tissue.
Sodium is one Of the constituents
Of table salt and is found in GER
tain fluids of the human body.
The new .radio-sodium that has
been produced by Professor Law
renee gives off radiation that is
more penetrating than any ever
obtained before The rays have
energies of 5.5O0.OOO electron volts
The most pentrating of the nat
urally produced rays from thorium
only have energies of 2,6OOOOO
volts.
In addition, radio sodium gives
out its rays for a long time. The
half life of the new substance is
10 hours, that is, it disintegrates
to half its original amount in this
time. This is important from the
viewpoint of its medical uses since
most of the elements which give
OIL artificial radiation generally
have an activity that lasts only a
few minutes.
The radioactive sodium is pro-
duced by bombarding sodium with
heavy hydrogen nuclei. Besides
the radiation, electrons are given
of by the radio-sodium.

NOTE ON SOVIET
PSYCHOLOGY

There are over 800 Institutes in
the Soviet Union which are in
vestigating the fundamental prob
lens of human behavior. Each
institute is responsible to one of
the government commissariats
which helps define it's research
problems, and in turn benefits
from the practical applications of
the discoveries made by the re-
search workers.
Fundamental research is pushed.
but there is an emphasis on uni
Tying the work with the problems
that confront Soviet society to-
day. For example, the great ply
siologist, Pavlov, is at present study
ing the inheritance of temperament.
He has found that certain dogs, like
certain people, are more susceptible
to nervous breakdowns than ere
others. Another psychologist, Kras-
nogorSky, is studying nervous and
difficult children with the same
methods employed by Pavlov.
There is no attempt to bury the
results in scientific journals. Each
week Pavloy goes to a medical clinic
to analyze cases and test his
theories in life. Another phy5io-
logist, Kahn, spends part of his
time in his laboratory analyzing
nerve respiration, and the other part
of his time in the factories analyz-
ing the relative efficiency Gin terms
of oxygen consumption) Of different
ways of laying brick or building
machinery.

VVALDMAN read the book. So did
W ProSkauer. Much as they hated
Communism, they could not see
themselves endorsing a book so OBJ
viously anti-Semitic, and Proskauer
refused. However, the book was
here to be distributed and despite
the fact that these Jews called
EasIey's attention to the anti-Se-
mitic nature of the book, and fatty
refused to endorse 1t. Easley pro-
ceeded to distribute copies whole
sale. The books were distributed
free of charge from the office of the
National Civic Federation. Easley's
wife, Gertrude Beeks Easley, who
always works with him, handled the
distribution, giving at one time 100
copies to william Dudley Policy of
the Silver Shirts.
During the period of distributing
this anti-Semitic material. h e
Easleys kept telling everybody that
the National Civic Federation had
printed the book" and was distrib-
uting it because of the fight against
Communism.
What Easley kept to himself is
that the anti-Semitic book Com
munism in Germany had been i'm
ported from Germany by George
Sylvester Viereck to be used for
propaganda purposes. Twenty thou
sand copies of this book arrived in
this country on Oct. IL, 1888, con-
signed to George Sylvester viereck,
who paid duty on them.

LENT SEASON
Three Local Churches Oh.
serve Period With Spe-
cial Services

Today is Ash Wednesday and
marks the beginning of Lent.
The Lenten season will be APP
propriately observed by the st.
James Episcopal church, The I'M
maculate Conception Catholic
church, and Grace Lutheran
church.
Lent is the period of fasting
before Easter. The word means
spring, but due to the fact that
the season takes place during this
time of the year the 40-day pc
Rod has come to be called Lent.
The Latin name for the season
was Quadragesima. :,
Lent is as old as the Church
itself. This season has been OBJ
served in varying lengths during
the history of the church, but fl
nally the season came to be 80
days in length. as representing
the 10th part of the year.
The inconsistency of this pc
riod of sc days with the word
Quadragisima and with the 40
day fast of Christ came to be
noted and in the early seventh
century four additional days
were added, making the 4O-day
period now observed.
In England the Lenton fast was
first ordered observed by Earcon-
berht, king of Kent from $40 to
664. In the middle ages meat
eggs and milk were forbidden
during this period by ecclasiasti'
cal and statute law and this en-
forced until the region of Will
liam III.
In the year 1892 during the
seige of Orleans by the English
the garrison was reduced to star,
walton for a want of Lenter
food, although in possession OF
meat and other supplies.
This strict observance of the
fast period continued to the re.
formation.
