Nazi Bombings Cause Few
Mental Ills, Doctors Told
py the Associated praSs

NASHVILLE, Tenn, Oct Seer
man bombings of the British Isles
have caused an increase in certain
psychiatric disorders" but the
"Swarms of hysteria which were ex-
pected to follow" the air raids have
not developed, the Southern Psychi-
stric Association was told last night.
A paper prepared by DR.. Felix
Brown, registrar in psychological
medicine at Guys Hospital, London,
and read before the association, said
only a nominal number of London's
millions had been affected mentally
by the Nazis' aerial onslaughts.
The most frequent disorders, DR.
Browns paper said, were mild and
severe cases of emotional shock.
others were psychoneuroses and
psychoSes. Psychoneurotic cases
usually develop from hysteria asso-
ciated with amnesia, while psychoses
patients come from panic and de-
pressive states which in turn emerge
from personal insecurity, the paper
asserted.
The association elected DIR. James
H. Hall of Richmond, Va, as presi-
dent-elect and selected his home
city for 1942's convention site, the
date to be determined later.
DR.. Whitman C. Mcconnell of st.
Petersburg, Fla. was installed as
president, succeeding DR.. Arthur j.
Schwenkenberg of Dallas.

able to release 10 to Is American
tankers now carrying oil in British

Insurance men carefully refrained
from commenting on the reason for
the rate cut further than stating
"We have been able to revalue the
situation in the Atlantic"
Another war risk rate reduction
to 4 per cent from was made for
shipments in any foreign flag ship
between the Western Hemisphere

CONWAY, N. H, Oct. 8.-As Pa
mela Hollingworth, S, gained
strength in a hospital today after
her ordeal of being lost in a forest
for eight days County Solicitor
Burnham Davis ruled out any posi-
bility that she had been kidnapped.
So incredulous were many persons
.-including some veteran woodsmen
at the child's stamina that they
freely expressed belief that she had
been abducted. held in a cabin or
some such place and then released
on a mountain trail.
Taking recognition of the skepti-
cism. which appeared to be wide
spread. Mr.. Davis called newsmen to
his Office in a midnight conference
and told them:
II have found absolutely no evil
dence to support theory of kid
naping"
Medical men. who examined the
girl shortly after she was found by
searching party late Monday, said
her condition was consistent with
having been outdoors for the entire
period.
While agreeing many persons
would have perished in panic
stricken fight in similar circum-
stances, they asserted the child ap-
parently conserved her strength by
drinking plenty of water from brooks
and resting much of the time, par
ticularly after her feet began to
swell.
The girls father, Joseph E. Hol-
lingworth, Lowell (Mass) business
man, said after visiting her at her
bedside yesterday that she told him
she had seen nobody until her res
cuers arrived.
Playing with toy fire engine he
gave her, she expressed a desire to
60 home, but he said it was unlikely
she would be moved until the latter
part of this week.

Many Parts Fabricated.
P. J. Currier, Detroit manufac-
kurer, whose bid was S400.000 under

figured to make a profit because he
fabricated many parts in plant as
sembly lines and cut the amount
of time spent by artisans on the

Commenting on this testimony,
Mr.. Fulton told reporters that it ap-

Paramount Question.
Mr.. Carmody had contended, how
ever, that the question of labor
stabilization" was paramount in the
Wayne County case, observing that
Mr.. Curriers' methods would cause
a revolution in the building indus

craftsmen out of work.
He said there also was involved a
feeling on the part of the labor
section of the Office of Production
Management that there is likely to
be less stability in the labor field if
an organization that has not here

DETROIT, Oct. 8-Representa-
tives of the C. I. o. United Automo-
bile Workers Union and the Ford
Motor Co. got together again today
and agreed, according to union
statement, that, instead of 10000,
only about 5,400 workers would have
to be laid off because of the Gov
ernment-ordered curtailment of pas
senger car production.
George F. Adde's, defense labor CO.
ordinator for the U. A. VIC. I. O.,
said 5000 of those to be laid of
would be probationary production
workers and 2,400 would be non pro-
duction men over whom the union
has no jurisdiction. He said they,
too. would be probationary workers
whom he defined as employees of less
than six months standing with no
established seniority rights.
The Ford Co. has been allocated
production total from August
through November of Isl ,845 passen-
ger units by the o. P. M. This COM
pares with 182,800 in the like four
months last year.
For December, however, allotments
total 38,008 passenger vehicles for
civilian use compared with 78,309 in
the same month last year. The Ford
Co. has had approximately 10000
production workers on its Rive
Rouge plant pay rolls.
/ The Ford lay-offs which probably
will be carried over the next fort
night will be the first in the industry
because Of the production curtail-
ment. Industry heads have said
that because the curtailment was
ordered before defense plants were
ready to absorb automobile factory
workers at least 100000 of them
would be idle by the end of the year

BY the Associated Press.
SAULT STE. MARIE, Mich, Oct.
8.-Cheered by the news it may be
possible to restore navigation in half
of the lock approach channel by to-
morrow morning, workmen struggled
today with the steel ruins that block
the busiest iron ore ship channel in
the world
Under floodlights last night huge
locomotive and its tender was
dragged away from the damaged
arm of the lift bridge which COL
lapsed yesterday under the weight of
loaded freight train.
Today all efforts were directed
toward lifting the damaged arm
away from the other arm, which en-
gineers believe is mechanically un-
harmed. A huge pontoon lift de-
vice, ordinarily used. to raise lock
gates for repairs, has been called
into service.
If this arm can be lifted or dragged
aside today, it is believed, the good
arm can then be elevated and half
the channel will be open to vessels
by tomorrow. $3.50.
The locomotive and tender are
resting on bottom now.
Meanwhile lock engineers opened
the gates of the st. Marys River
compensating dam, permitting Lake
Superior water to rush into the locks
and raise the water level there by
almost two feet.
This will make it possible for the
shallow Poe lock, the only one on
the American side still navigable,
to accommodate freighters with a
draft load of 18 feet 6 inches. in
stead of 16 feet inches, the previous
maximum.
Anchored in the st. Marys River.
In Hay Lake below the locks and in
Whiteflsh Bay above them, are some
so huge freighters awaiting passage
through the gateway that links Lake
Superior with Lake Huron.
Shipping authorities were of the
opinion, however, that unless there
was a protracted delay little harm
would befall steel production. Cleve-
land steel mills were reported to
have a six-week supply of ore on
hand.
Work All Night.
Watchers on the locks saw q
weird scene during the night as
workmen climbed over the twisted
steel of the broken bridge span
from which a Duluth, South Shore
d Atlantic freight engine had
plunged early yesterday.
Under floodlights, the wreckers
kept at the task all night. Divers
earlier had fastened steel cables
to the engine boiler despite rain
and rough water.
BY early last night AZ boats were
at anchor off approaches to the
locks. A total of $50 was expected
to be tied up by tonight.
Bodies of the two trainmen who
died in the engines plunge, En2i-
neer Hazen Willis and Conductor
Dave Monroe, remained in the en-
gine cab. Divers reported that coal
from the tender had virtually buried
the two.
