Washington hears that boards are
now the rule with naval officers on
battle stations In the Pacific. Wash
ington wives of naval officers have
been surprised to find that recent
pictures of their husbands are more
suggestive of the officer personnel
Of Commodore Perry than of the
clean-shaven sailors of modern era.
The explanation is that the hot
sun of the South Pacific Is so ardent
that both officers and men who have
no time for gradual tanning find it
impossible to shave their burning
faces. Hence the quaint whiskered
appearance of the hard-hitting Pa
cif1c task forces.
From the point of view OF physical
endurance, this war is making inf
nitely greater demands on the Navy
than the last war and of course
it is particularly hard on officers
who are getting on" and on those
who go to sea from administrative
jobs.

jobs in Washington and who are by

In his message sent to Judge
Louis E. Levinthal, president of the
Zionist organization, Mr.. Roosevelt
lauded the substantial contribu-
ton" of Palestine in the war effort,
attributing this effort in great part
to the work" of the Zionist organi-
zation and Hadassah.
His statement concluded: IT am

Health Little Affected
By Raids on Liverpool.
Medical Head Says
Lack Of Epidemies and
Neuroses Credited to
Hard Work, Shelters
BY HOWARD w. BLAKESLEE,
wild World Srience Editor

NEW YORK, Oct. 13.-Liverpool's
chief medical officer, DR.. William
l.. Frazer, is here on health mis-
sion and he brings a story about the
imperviousness OF human health to
bombing that would have been in
credible before the war.
Liverpool took terrific bombings.
But there weren't even any out
breaks of common colds resulting.
No epidemics. No wide scale ill
nesses of any sort directly traceable
to bombings
And not even neuroses. In the
bombings and all the war strains
to date there has been no increase
in mental troubles. The commonest
neuroses are anxiety and hysterias,
but DR.. Frazer said there are no
more of these than in peace.
Gives Three Causes.
He traced the complete mainte-
nance of sanity to three causes:
l. People are working harder and
have no time for the introspection
which may bring on nervous trou-
bleS. 2. The English shelter pro-
gram was well under way when the
bombings began and, while the peo-
pie were exposed to danger, they
felt that something was being done
for them. 3. Racially the English
are not much subject to neuroses.
However, it is a significant fact
that Liverpool's large foreign popu-
lation also showed no sign of panic.
Failure of typhoid epidemics to
show up, DR.. Frazer said, was
surprise. The water system was
damaged frequently. Carts were
substituted to distribute water. The
mains were frequently repaired
within "a hours. A factor in pre-
venting typhoid, he said, was the
chlorination of the repaired mains
before they were placed in service.
DR.. Frazer had an interesting
slant on failure of another antici-
pated health hazard to develop,
namely spread of epidemics among
children evacuated from their
homes. City children were supposed
to pick up the country infections,
and vice versa. But a part-time
educational program apparently
worked as the preventive.
DR.. Frazer explained that under
the part-time program the children
were not exposed to each other very
long at any one time. The result
was that they became immunized
by mild attacks of this and that
child illness. Medically the part
time educational program worked
like vaccination.
There had been an increase in
the contagious diseases, those, that
is, spread by contact from person
to person. These diseases include
diphtheria. scarlet fever, mumps,
measles, whooping cough, and in
some centers the itch and venereal
disease. But none Of these amounted
to epidemics.

VICTOR, Colo, Oct. 13-David
P. Strickler, a mining executive,
threatened court action today, If
necessary, to prevent closing of gold
mines as ordered by the War Produc-
ton Board.
The board ordered all gold mines
closed by october Is to make miners
available for work in non-ferrous
metal mines, an action it said was
vital to hte war effort
Mr.. Strickler, president of the
Stratton-Cripple Creek Mining and
Development Co., said the WPB
would be asked to iescind it's order
and If it rejected the appeal,
Federal court injunction would be
sought.
Mr.. Strickler asserted:
There is no act Of Congress which
authorizes the WPB to close any in
dustry. Its powers are limited to
regulating materials and supplies
used in industry where necessary

The officers try to arrive on board

The older officers, who are in ex-
cellent shape according to average
civilian standards, find that the de-
mands of modern naval warfare are

Washington is frequently surprised
to hear that this or that headline
admiral has arrived in town for
some months of shore duty. Rumors
of "a switch in the high command"
are circulated and all kinds of stories
gain credence. The fact is that the
older officers have to be given
breathing spells before being sent
back to sea.
