NOW that our life, liberty and

that every phase of their mental

OF the Department Of Industrial
Research Of Harvard University
on Fatigue in Aircraft Pilots"

IL is probably the most delicate
barometer Of health.
II you wake up in the morn
ing. energetic and full OF pep
and anxious 10 tackle the entire
universe, you are probably
pretty healthy.
But the slightest thing can
throw this off balance: a men
tai influence such as boredom.
encouragement, or an emotional
conflict as we'll as a physical
disease.
Both overwork and underworld
produce fatigue.
II is no wonder then that
fatigue is a common problem
with physicians who deal with
aircraft pilots.
Perhaps they have been flying
too long: perhaps they have been
flying at too high attitudes with
out oxygen: perhaps they haven't
had enough fighting: perhaps
they have had too much fighting.
Captain Jones doesn't seem to
be himself these days. He has
gone stale He is tense. ner-
vous and irritable. and shows
poor Judgment in making deci-
sions while in fight. He used TO
be one of the ablest pilots in the
fight group. but his flying is no
longer trusted.
TNfE most exact attempts 20
Il analyze and locate the fac
tors Of fatigue in aviation pilots
are, like the attempts TO analyze
the same symptoms in clinical
medicine, somewhat complicated.
There Is no such thing as
fatigue toxin. Some pilots are
able 10 keep flying for many
more hours than others.
An examination of the blood
OF both types shows no chemical
difference which would indicate
that fatigue toxin has accumu-
lated IN the more sensitive group.
Contributing factors 10 pilot
fatigue are lack of exercise, lack
Of or poor quality of oxygen en-
countered while in flight at high
attitudes, and poor selection of
food. Overindulgence in alcohol

ported by all observers as being

Certain variables In the

trlbutlng ia c tors 10 fatigue.
These include noise and vibra-
ton. poor illumination for night
flying. and static in the ear
phones. Poor regulation OF VEN
tilation and temperature were
also taken into account.
The important thing 10 my
mind is that these problems
which affect all Of us arc being
scientifically and sympathetic

 First starting as simple rumoi that the mayor was going to re- sign, the story was embellished with each telling. It was said that the mayor was going into the employ of the scovill Go. Then. its next version, the story was that Mayo, Scully was to replace Francis T Reeves as secretary and general counsel for the company.
 Mayor scully rejected the Dem- ocratic nomination for attorney general of the state this year, stat Ing that city affairs and civilian defense required all his time in Wa terbury.

NEW RELIEF GROUP
 GOOD WAR WEAPON
Knowledge of Such Avail able Relief May Affect
 Occupied Countries

Washington, Nov. 2S-(UPl-The new Foreign Relief and Rehahilita- tion Organization of the State De- partment was expected today to be- come an important implement for winning both the war and the peace.
 It Is expected to become an in. tangible but forceful weapon in be- half of the United Nations through psychological effect alone.
 Gov. Herbert H. Lehman of New York was named director of the organization by President Roosevelt on Saturday. Lehman will be charged with one of the tasks which Herbert Hoover had in the World War. But, unlike Hoover, who was Food Administrator in this country as well as head of the Foreign Relief Organization, Leh- man will devote his full time to re-
 The veteran governor of New York Is also expected to carry his job to limits undreamed of in Hoover's day when relief was primarily a humanitarian proposi- tion and not the important political diplomatic and military weapon which it is in this total war.
 The new Foreign Relief and Re- mobilization setup is scheduled to become a new weapon which can circumvent the most impregnahle defenses set up by the Axis against the invasion of now occupied countries.

 The information was described as encouraging"
 An observer pointed out that the Axis had been defeated in It's hopes of winning an almost impregnable posibition in Europe from the Medi- terranean to the Black Sea and at- tributed this in great part to ex- tremely heavy German armored losses in Russia.

 Under Fire
BL BRYDON C, TAVES United Press Staff Correspondent

General MacArthur's HeadQuar- ters, Somewhere In Australia, Nov, g - U.P.0 - Front line dispatches from New Guinea today said the ring drawn by American troops around the Japanese base at Buna was within a mile of the village at two points, that the main enemy air field there was under attack and that Allied Forces were closing in on Gona, l5 miles to the north,
 Harold Guard, United Press staff correspondent somewhere in New Guinea" reported that Americans who captured a smaller air strip about two and one-half miles south of Buna were meeting very stiff Jap aneSe resistance at the main field a half-mile nearer the village,
 Another American unit, however, had penetrated to Gairopa Point, only one mile south of Buna, and still another American force was a mile or less from the Noreth boun- diary of the base,
 Australian troops, concentrating on Gona, brought 2S-pound guns in- to action, while the Americans were striking the enemy with Australian mountain artillery,
 Thus the Japanese, despite deS- perate efforts and increased air support, were being pushed back steadily toward the sea,
 A communiQue from General Douglas MacArthur, who was direct ing the offensive personally, report ed that Japanese naval forces "ap- parently succeeded in landing rein forcements", under cover of dark. ness and in such hady flying wea- ther that Allied planes could not intercede, But North American Billy Mitchell bomberS located a Japanese destroyer and two smaller vessels when the weather improved yesterday and sank all of them,
 It was believed that only these three ships landed achievements which presumably were not large, The four Japanese deStroyerS sight ed of the coast Saturday were last seen withdrawing to the northwest It now was believed that the enemy'S two unsuccessful attempts to slip naval units into the Buna- Coma region were aimed at landing fresh troops and supplies and not at evacuating the besieged garrisons,
