ailments about which most families are reluctant to talk. This feeling of shame probably goes back to the days when persons thought mental disorders were due to possession by devils, or to witchcraft. or to bad streak" of heredity in the family strain, that they were ii1curable. and that insane persons were dan- gerous.
 This business man benefactor is Clifford. W. Beers. Not a scientist himself, he has been Q leader in organizing scientific workers in all fields to conquer the spectre of mental disease. Not a wealthy man. he has convinced rich people to open their purses to support re- search and training on large scale.
 Not an educator, he has done more than any other person to educate the public on the need for and good results of mental hygiene. Not a politician, he has convinced state and federal lawmakers to appropriate millions of dollars that people might be adequately cared for in specialized hospitals.
 Beers discovered from first-hand experience some 40 years ago how much ignorance, abuse, neglect, and downright shame, surrounded men,

tai disorders. Shortly after his graduation from Yale University, he developed a mental disorder. For three years he was confined in what were then properly called asylums.
 During this dark period of his life, he was locked up in a padded cell. He was strapped uncom. fortably in a strait jacket for a couple of weeks at a stretch. He was pummeled by ignorant keepers who knew nothing about the scien. tific treatment Of mental sickness.
 After three years of this--and in spite of it-Beers regained his reason. He knew that his fellow sufferers and their families needed help.
 Hts first impulse, quite naturally, was that "there ought to be a law" But his second impulse told him that scientific knowledge was needed first, and that before he could do any, thing himself, he had to find a job.

OFFICIAL eSJun8CeS or GefmAn dol~ far balances here set a figure of about 4250, 900 900. It was learned, however, that this sum represents only openly held balances, and does not take into account large amounts which are German controlled but nominally owned by neutrals.
 A large share of these assets, 1t was said, were purchased indirectly with the $500 900 900 in gold which Germany obtained from the central reserves of occupied European Yla. tions. With this gold, official de- poelt accounts are opened in tleu- trals, which are in turn exchanged for drawing power on the neutral's balances in New York and other money markets.
 Other gold seized by the Germans has been unwittingly bought by the United States Government, after being shipped to New York from neutral countries under ostensiple neutral ownership.
 Large amounts of foreign. owned American securities are also believed to have been obtained by the Ger mans in occupied countries. Freez- ing orders are no guarantee against conversion of these securities, 1t was pointed out, since many of them are unregistered and may be sold on European exchanges without the necessity of shipping them to the United States.
 Other methods used by Germany to obtain dollar exchange include:
 l. Direct rernittances by persons living in the United States to friends and relatives in Germany. Such rernittances, which must be exchanged for marks by the recipi- ent, were estimated at $l0000, 900 for the calendar year l940.
 9. Occupation charges. France. it was pointed out, is forced to pay an occupation levy of 400000,000 francs. or $S.000 900 daily. Some of this Is believed to go for the pur- chase of American securities on the Swiss and other neutral markets.
 3. Sale of so.called "remigrant marks" to Americans of German extraction. These marks are ex- changed at c low rate for dollars be- longing to persons who hope to make their home in Germany after the war. No accurate estimate can be made of the amount 50 exchanged, but 1t is believed to run into millions of dollars.
 {. Forced levies on nationals of occupied countries who hold dollar balances in nations whose United States credits have not been frozen.
 American manufacturers operat- ing under German patents, 1t was

So large have some of these accounts grown that reliable reports indicate that German industrialists have of' fered, usually through agents, to purchase the German branches of several American concerns, with payment to be made in New York.
 Because of these and other finarl. cial I1iaiaipulatiors, 1t was said. Ger. many's capital position in the United States is better than ever before. The British blockade and United States export licensing orders pre-. vent Germany from using It's funds to buy goods here.
 The German financial position is 80 favorable, reliable sources af. firIned, that some dollar assets for which Germans can find no use are being turned over to the financially hard-pressed Japanese for their own war account.

 clifford Beers was aided in his work by the frank book he began to write even before he was fully recovered from his own break down. This book, "A Mind That Found 1tsels," opened the eyes of the public and scientists alike.
 It pulled no punches. Beers con- cealed nothing, either about his own queer conduct. or about tho ignorance and brute nature of his keepers. The book has been re- printed some 20 times since 1t first appeared, although to get 1t printed first, Clifford Beers had to pay for 1t himself. with borrowed money.

DRAFT 5ETUp, COMPLETE LIST OF LOCAL BOARDS
 ANNOUNCED BY GOVERNOR

Formal organization of the Selec- tive Service System for the Terri tory of Alaska is announced by Gov Ernest Gruening, who accom- panied the list of Local Boards with this statement:
 "The Selectiye Training and Serv- ice of 1940 provides thoroughly just. orderly and democratic method of determining the place where each registrant may best serve the Ma tion. Some will be qualified to serve in the armed forces. Many more will be needed in their present oc- cupations or will have persons de- pendent upon them for support which will make their deferment necessary.
 "The classification and selection of those who have registered under the Act will be done by 24 Local Boards throughout the Territory. Each board will consist of from three to five representative citizens from various walks of life who are familiar with conditions within the locality where they will serve. These men have been appointed by the President, upon the recommenda- tion of the Governor.
 Appeal Agent
 "In addition to the Board mem bers. there will be a government Appeal Agent appointed for each board area. The Appeal Agent has no authority to change the classi- fication of registrant. but can examine the records and appeal any case in which the interests of the individual or the government have not, in his judgment, been pro- tected
 "The Local Boards will not only classify those who have registered but will conduct such future reg istrations as may be required. The registration boards organized for the original registration of January g, 1941, will no longer function.
 Appeal Board
 The regulations promulgated by the President also provides for an Appeal Board for the Territory of Alaska This Board will consist of five members who will sit in a ca pacity similar to that of Court of Appeal. The Appeal Board will have no original jurisdiction but will re- view those cases properly certified for appeal The regulations state in part that, The registrant, any per- son who claims to be a dependent of the registrant, a government Ap- peal Agent, the Director of Selective Service, or the State Director of Selective Service may appeal to the Board of Appeal from any Local Board classification, except that no appeal may be made by or on be- half of registrant classified in Class II or Class III who claims a lower claSSification.'
 Tn exceptional cases further appeal may be made to the Presi- dent. Thus it is evident that ample precautions have been taken to in- sure the fair and impartial classi- fication of all registrants.
 To Shuffle Cards
 Territorial Director of Selective Service John Mccormick is dis tributing to the 24 Local Board the registration cards assigned to them. As soon as they are received the
