A man may have been getting along all right in civilian life, but to brand him as a psychiatric case may be 0 contributing factor to later malad- justment and nervous breakdown.
 You can stir up an argument among psychiatrists on this matt ter of a:ceptances and rejections almost any day at all. Civilian psy- chiatrists and family doctors may hold that the Army rejects too many. Military M. P.'s, or neuro- psychiatrists, are of the opinion that too many potential nervous cases are admitted.
 If symptoms of mental or nervous illness are discovered during 6 Sol- dier's first six months in the Army, he may be returned to civilian life. After six months, such @ soldier is turned over to the Veterans Admin istration and becomes Q public charge.
 The largest group of Army psy. cho-neuroses comes from the men with unstable emotions. Soldiers who get along we'll with their bud dies and take Army life in their stride never have much trouble. But company commanders, junior otii- cers, and non-comS have to be con- stantly on the lookout for rockies who get acute or prolonged home | sickness, men who are morbid or morose, men who go around with Q chip on their shoulder.
 IVY DON'T MIND
 Experience of the sArmy thus far in this war is that the soldiers don't resent being "bugged." Often the ma,adjustments are temporary and straighten themselves out. Sometimes talk with the company commander or the chaplain will re- move the "bug" and work Q cure. Sometimes men who want to get out of the Army play up their psychia- tric traits butt the Army now knows how to detect and deal with those phony neurotics, too.
 With men who can't break into the routine, psychiatric therapy COItlCo IAlO OAdy. n SAAlaAA FCANSAeo6S can be reclaimed, but how much time the Army should devote to this salvage of personnel is a de. batable matter.
 A pattern for a mental hygiene clinic has been worked out and is now in the process of being install ed at every Army training center Wherever possible, each of these clinics will be manned by a neuro- psychiatrist, psychologist and a: many social workers as are neces' sary and available.
 The psychiatrist will be a grad uate physician who has specialized in mental and nervous diseases anc who has gone through the new Army Medical Corps training schoo for Army N. P.;s. The psychologist will come from the adjutant gener' al's department and will be trainet to give intelligence tests and worl with illiterates.

BACKGROUND A FACTOR

A school for training these psy- biologists has already been opened at Ft. Leavenworth. Kan. The so- cial workers are being furnished and trained by the Red Cross. It will be their job to delve into the fam fly record of each psychiatric pa- tient and furnish the background case history necessary to determine if the soldier can be saivaged for active duty, for limited duty. or must be returned to civilian life.
 Two things should be made clear in consideration of the development of this relatively new science of psy- chiatry.
 First, the soldiers aren't judged by any rubber stamp standards. Every soldier is considered as an individual and allowances are made for personalities. Musicians and blacksmiths aren't judged alike. but on the basis of what is normal for each type.
 Second is the fact that psychiatry l isn't psycho-analysis, or the phony dream reading which a lot of effete and high-strung city folks have gone in for as a fad. Army psy- chiatry is being handled on a pretty high ethical plane. and in a manner that even the most conservative medical men can approve. It's psy- chiatry plus mental hygiene. build- ing up of morale. creating the will to fight.

FIGHTING DOLLARS:
Tops in Financing

When President Roosevelt launched
the nine billion dollar Victory
Loan" drive by purchasing a 1000
bond from Secretary Of Treasury
Henry Morgenthau he set in motion
the greatest financing program in
all history.
This money is needed by the gov

President urged that everyone turn
his idle money into fighting dol
lars" by buying some of these
bonds. Pointing out that while over
% million Americans were already
buying. war bonds through payroll
deduction plans, there still were
many who could get in on this new

While the new borrowing cam

are available to all investors and it
is hoped that half the amount need

RUSSIA:
An Ans,Uer

On the cold steppes before Stain
grad and in the blustery valleys of
the Caucasus, the Russian armies
gave an answer to question that
military experts had been asking
ever since Hitler's troops had driven
deep into Soviet territory. It was
the question: "Has Hitler destroyed
the Russian army" And the an
swer was an emphatic 'No."
This years Russian winter often
sive began first in Stalingrad itself,
where the Germans had been fought
to standstill. Then it spread
quickly as Soviet forces struck
simultaneously from the north and
south knitting through Nazi defenses
on both TANKS and thrusting spear
heads far across the Don river.
Three hundred thousand German
troops were thus encircled. These
were the bulk of the enemy detach-
ments laying siege to Stalingrad. AS
the first week Of the offensive ended,
Russian reports credited their army
with taking a toll of $50, 900 Axis SOL
diers killed, wounded or captured.
Also in the Caucasus to the south
and around Leningrad in the north
the Russian might began to tell.
Even Berlin admitted that the Rus
slams were ''counterattacking."
But the biggest threat to Nazi
prestige was the Russian campaign
in the Rzhev-Velilxi Luli area west
Of Moscow. Here a strong action
pushed toward the Latvian border
and threatened to cut Hitler's north
ern and southern fighting TANKS.
What puzzled the experts was how
Stain had been able to conserve SO
much of his power while the Ger
mans had been pounding him hard
all summer. Most vital question
now was whether or not the strong
Russian offensive could maintain its
momentum long enough to drive the
Germans back.

WARNING:
To Italians

In a world broadcast on the eve
of his 68th birthday, Prime Min
lister Winston Churchill proclaimed
that American and British forces in
North Africa expected to "expel the
enemy before long" and warned the
10000, 900 people of Italy to over
throw their dictator and sue for
peace.
After the conclusion of the Medi-
terranean campaign, Churchill said,
Africa will serve the purpose for
which Lieut.. Gen. Dwight D. Eisen-
hover is preparing it-as spring
board from which large scale OPP
erations on the continent OF Europe
can be undertaken.
The route for this attack, he in
dictated, lay through Italy. sour OPP
erations in French Africa should en-
able us to bring the weight of the
war home to the italian Fascist
state in manner not hitherto
dreamed of by its guilty leaders, or
still less, by the unfortunate people
Mussolini has led, exploited and dis
graced."
Although the Churchill talk was
optimistic, he warned that the war
is likely to be a long one and that
bloody and bitter years lie ahead.
He refused to predict whether the
war in Europe will be over before
that in the Pacific, but said that if
such was the case all fighting forces
of the United Nations would auto
matically come to the aid Of the
United States, China and Britain's
own kin in Australia and New Zea-
land.

TRAGEDY:
Strikes Boston

Not since the 1903 Iroquois theater
fire in Chicago had so many people
been burned or suffocated to death
as persisted in the disaster which
struck the Cocoanut Grove night
club that Saturday night in Boston.
An incomplete toll by the police first
set the number of dead at At with
the belief that it might rise above
500. At the time this count was made
212. persons were receiving hospital
treatment for their burns and IN
juries.
AS historical parents and friends
were engaged in the difficult task OF
identifying the bodies Of those killed,
Stanley Tomaszewski, 16-year-old
high school boy and part-time en-
ployee of the club, told his story OF
how the blaze began. He said that
after patron had unscrewed light
bulb he attempted to replace it and
when he lighted match to see bet
ter, the flame ignited some OF the
decorations. Swiftly the flames
spread and the $50 patrons rushed
frantically for the exits. Many were
killed as they were trampled be-
meath rioting hundreds seeking es-
cape. Only about 100 of the total
ESQ in the building escaped unhrrt.
Many of the persons killed were
iservicemen and football fans cele-
ibrating college victories of that aft
ernoon. Buck Jones, well-knom
western star of the movies, was
among the persons who had packed
the smart club.
AS all available medical help was
rushed to the scene, the Red Cross
released supplies Of blood plasma
(which was used in extreme cases

down.

Turin Smashed

In the heaviest raid Of the war on
Italy, hundreds Of British bombers
smashed the city of Turin with four
ton bombs, probably knocking it out
of the Italian war effort.
AS if foreshadowing Prime Min
lister Churchill's warning to the
Italian people, the bombing destroyed
great areas of the city. The super
block-busters and fire from 100000
incendiaries pulverized huge sections
of the city. Turin is Italy's biggest
industrial city, the home Of the Fiat
engine works, the Caproni bomber
planes and many other important fac
tories.

TUNISIA:
Allied Wedge

Axis forces in Tunisia stood with
their backs to the sea as Lieut.. Gen.
K. A. NJ. Anderson's British flrst
army thrust a wedge between en-
eny strongholds in Tunisia by cap
turing the town of Djedeida, which
controls road and rail comnunlca-
tons between Tunis and the Bizerte
naval base.
Thus by severing communications
between Tunis and Bizerte, the Al
lies virtually had isolated the Axis
positions, leaving only coastal
road open.
The German-controlled Paris ra-
dio said that fighting was taking
place in the Mateur region and in
dictated that the British are prepar-
ing for a general offensive by de-
ploying forces in that sector.
Axis forces fell back, following
futile counterattacks, within the
semicircular defense line around
Tunis and Bizerte. According to the
Morocco radio, Allied paratroopers
attacked Axis positions near Mateur
and other Allied forces stabbed at the
defenders. of Tumis.
Defeat of the Axis in Tunisia
would leave Allied troops free TO
move south into Tripolitania and at
tack Marshal Erwin Rommeps Al
RIGA corps from the rear while Gem
eral Montgomery's British eighth
army. attacked from the east.
That such plans were contemplat-
ed was indicated by the fact that
for four straight days General Mont
gomery's headquarters had nothing
to report" It looked as though
Montgomery was delaying an as
sault on Rommel at Ell Agheila and
merely holding off until the trap was
sprung.

AIR STRENGTH:
Asia Evidence

Heavy United Nations air raids
were raining destruction on Jap
bases and supply centers in Burma,
Thailand and Indo-China as the
growing strength of this arm of ac-
tivity against the enemy became in
creasingly evident.
This most recent surge Of air
strength began with terrific pound
ing Of Jap railway yards at Manda-
lay and reached its apex when a
U. S. group of bombers and fighters
shot down at least % planes in one
day during operations against the
great Pearl river base in China.
In that raid tons of explosives
were dropped on the Pearl river
estuary, sinking two medium sized
freighters and upwards of 100 barges.
In addition many docks and ware
houses were set ablaze.
