Enduring Attitudes

A%hhhiihH htAANuuC.
The oxygen saturation of the
blood is the important factor in
standing attitudes, and the oxygen
saturatlon of the blood is affected
by carbon monoxide. and air fields
are filled with carbon monoxide
gas all the time. Right away the
medical officer comes into the pic
ture.
The aviator on duty must be con.
tinually working out mathemat teal
problems of distance and targets,
and the entire success of his opera
tons depends upon the extrems
accuracy of those calculations.
Accuracy certainly is affected by
fatigue. II there is continuous vi
bration Of the navigator's table,
the instrument panel. the gun
mountings, it will result in visual
and general fatigue. Again, right
away the medical officer is called
in, at least medical experiments
are required, in the actual con-
OIL &c NAOll VI All dlTpldnes
The medical problems which
center about gun turrets have not
even yet been successfully solved
in a complete way. How large
should a gun turrct be? The gun
turret is useless unless an average
young adult man can efficiently use
the guns in the turret. He must
wear adequate clothing and have
oxygen and INSTRUMENTATION
equipment, and he must have an
even chance of getting out of the
turret in a hurry in case abandon
ment Of aircraft is necessary.
Clothing a Problem
One Of the most intricate prob
lens which the aviation physician
has had TO solve is that Of the avia-
tors clothing. The heat regula-
ton of the body can compensate
under ordinary circumstance for
changes in environmental tenn
peratures. But when you postulate
changes in temperature and dlti-
tUde made in a few minutes. the
normal adjustments of the body
entirely fail unless artifcially
helped.
And consider that in tropical
climates the temperature inside an
airplane which has been sitting on
the ground may be 1902 F. TO
40 r., and that the aviator must
enter that temperature in clothes
that in few minutes will protect
him from the extreme cold Of high
attitudes, and you will see you
have a problem that was never
dreamt of in the philosophy of the
humdrum, stay-at-home classical
hygienist Of the days Of peace.
Aviation medicine requires under
any conditions very special train
ing. Twenty thousand physician,
alone, it is estimated. will be
needed for the American Air
Corps.

ciples Of aviation. The potential
number of liers which we will
eventually have in service has not
even been estimated.
1t is probably not generally APP
preciated that at least fifty per
cent of the technical problems
which go to make these avistors ef-
hcient are medical problems. The
aviator has nothing more than one
human body, no matter how su-
perior it may be to the average
body of his fellow creatures. That
body must in the space Of a short
time, during fight, endure change,
of altitude for which the hardest
mountain climber Of generation
ago took days or weeks Of accli
matization.

Right now he comedies that

ably due 10 the way. and he pre-
diets a perfect epidemic Of it after
the conflict, as there was after the

It's Understandable Why war, in
itself murderous, should encourage
crimes OF violence.

Edgar emphasized the urgent
necessity Of suppressing vicious

clusters of Dutch resistance.
Japanese claims of capturing the
entire forces are false and our men
are fighting in the hills now" the
refugee of1cial said after disclosing
additional communications with
Java. He said the Dutch resistance
might continue indefinitely and
prove a major source of trouble for
the Japanese for a long time" in
guerrilla campaigns.
Moving Faster to Attack.
Though the Allied war machine
moved too slowly to retain the
Indies as bases" Mr.. Van Nook de-
clared, ut now Is moving faster to
attack" He added that Dutch off,
clals now in Australia will not rest
or lose a single day in the fight Tor

ting down hopelessly.
You may be sure that the Allies
will not rest until the Indies are
freed"
Mr.. van Nook predicted the JAP
anese would attempt to consolidate
their present holdings by conquer
Ing New Guinea, on which they have
made three isolated landings.
As Australia braced against the
expected storm, church missions in
Northern Australia and a leper
colony in Darwin Bay were moved
from the threatened zones.
AL civilians aged l6 or more must
register by Monday under the gov
ernment's plan to place the entire
continent on war footing.
Australian reconnaissance planes
searched widely over the waters to
the north and east for signs OF any
japanese invasion fleets, including
the armada reported sailing toward
the Solomon Islands. However,
there was no further word of as
saults on sea trains Of invaders.
Evatt Coming Here.
Prime Minister Curtin's announce
ment that he was sending DR.. Her
bert v. Evatt to Washington raised
the belief that Mr.. Evatt would
present more comprehensive pic
ture Of Australia's immediate re-
quirementS than Richard Casey,
Minister to the United States. has
been able to give.
For one thing, Mr.. Evatt might
be expected to speak out for unity
OF command In the Southwest Pa
cific to expedite vital decisions. He
is expected to offer no objection If
a United States officer Is proposed
as commander.
The swift collapse Of the Neither
lands Indies was alarming at first
to many persons, but during the
week the feeling OF alarm has de-
veloped into one Of defiance coupled
with a sense Of immediate danger.
Newspaper editorials and speeches
bristling with eloquent phrases Of
warning and resolution have been
numerous.
