Mental Case Records
In Welfare Data Seen
As Aid in Defense
Serve to Eliminate
Misfits in Army,
Psyehiotrist Says

Welfare groups records of mental
patients can be OF immeasurable
value to psychiatrists examining
military selectees, DR.. Harry Stack
Sullivan, consultant on psychiatry
for the selective service system, told
the family welfare division Of the
Council of Social Agencies, holding
its annual meeting yesterday.
Histories of potential mental cases
slated for induction are essential
to draft board officials who, he
claimed, faced tremendous prob
lem" in wedding out men suffering
from some form of psychosis.
DR.. Sullivan, former professor Of
psychiatry in Georgetown Univer-
sity, also warned that second great
problem will arise when relatively
unadjuSted" men in the service are
discharged after their term of train
ing.
Responsibility Question Raised.
Questioned on the Army's re-
sponsibility when a man is discov-
cred suffering from some mental
disorder after he is in active duty,
the noted psychiatrist said it was the
opinion Of the general staff that
every effort will be made to make q
soldier of the man If his case is not
a serious one.
He added, however that the
Army's policy of considering both
the selectees' physical and mental
health would eliminate the danger
of misfits, which arose during con-
scription in the last war. In this
connection he pointed out that care
and capitalization of mental cases
growing out of that war had cost
the Government nearly $1,000, ,000,-
900.
DR.. Sullivan said psychiatrists of
| the Nation had shown unusual CO.
operation in lending their assistance
during this emergency, although an
acute shortage of these physicians
existed today.
Officers Elected.
The following officers were elected
unanimously to serve the family
welfare division for the coming year:
Mrs. Frank A. Linzel, chairman;
Morris Klass, vice chairman; DR.. j.
