By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
ATLANTIC CITY, N. j., June g.
DR.. Harry M. Murdock of the Shep-
pard and Enoch Pratt Hospital at
Towson, Md, says the United States
needs a definite goal" with real
iStic philosophy and concrete action
leading directly to it.
He told the American Psyche
pathological Association yesterday:
The reason control of neurosis
has been attained in Germany is
that everyone has something to do
and it is plain to him that what
he is doing is definite stride to-
ward the goal he desires.
In contrast. the administration
here has for the past several years
been casting about aimleSsly for
the solution to our problems, mostly
without success, and this has af-
forded no means for the people to
utilize in purposeful action the great
nervous stress that has been put
upon them by so many terrifying
alarms"
DR.. Roscoe w. Hall. a clinical
director at st. Elizabeth's Hospital
of Washington, president of the as.
sociation, reported peptic ulcers
were the most frequent cause of
military disability in the British and
Canadian armies now.

He said the United States was at
tempting to weed out" from the
selective service lists men whose
nervous systems are most apt to dis
integrate in combat service.
The reason for this wedding -out,
he said, is to cut down postwar
costs. He observed the United
States Army produced $1,000 mental
patients between 1918 and 1920 and
that these neurotic men had since
cost the Government more than

M The Local TheaterS
STATE

Thrills that theatergoers never knew existed happened right before their eyes when "The Wagons Roll at Night" arrived at Warmers State theater this afternoon for an ea. gagement of four days.
 Tho new picture stars Humphrey Bogart. master of menace and ob. tect of praise from all quarters for hds brilliant work in High Sierra"; Joan Leslie. the Axteen-year -old starlet who also appeared with Bo- gart in High Sierra: Eddie Albert, whose irSoliciant charm has made him one of the screens top leading men; ard Sylvia Sidney, dramatic star, who makes @ welcome return to the screen after Q years absence.
 Briefly, the picture tells the story of e group of people who live on wheels, nonlads of the night, Mv1ng by their own strange code. Bogart, as the tough hard-boiled owner of the carnival, fighting desperately to keep 1t out of the red, is the ruler absolute of his little troupe.
 His most trusted aide is his girl friend, the fortune teller, played by Sylvia Sidney. When his teTnpera- mental lion tanner gets drunk once too often, Bogart replaces him with a youngster, played by Eddie Albert, whom they picked up in one of their one-night stands.
 When Albert is injured in a fight with the discharged lion tanner, syl- via drives haIn up to Bogart's farm to recuperate. There he meets and falls in love with Bogart's sister played by Joan Leslie, who has been sheltered from all contact with the carnival troupe by her brother.
 All in all here is @ picture that you must" see. Its dramatic de- velopments are guaranteed to keep your attention focused on them for every minute of the pictureS run- ming time.
