new medical speciality. For the
fight surgeon must be intensively
trained for his work.
The important subjects for the
fight surgeon are anoxia, or re-
duced air pressure and changes in
air pressure, safety in crashes and
equilibrium training. The last is
practically solved. By the Barany
test it is possible to pick out men
who are normal so far as their
equilibrium apparatus is con-
cerned, and it is possible to train
and condition men so they can
stand changes of posture and
rocking far beyond what any Av-
erage unframed person can take.
Fascinating Subject
Anoxia has proved a fascinat-
ing subject. For practical pur-
poses, it is to all intents and pur-
poses solved, but in the solving of
it many very curious and hitherto
unsupported facts have been
brought into the field of research.
Medical science has long been
interested in such things as noun
tain sickness and caisson disease,
or divers disease-the conditions
which depend upon differences in
air and oxygen pressure. Divers
who submerge and get under high
pressure must be brought out of it
gradually or else they get "the
bends" their own word for it),
which consists Of very painful
cramps Of the muscles. These
bends are caused by the escape Of
bubbles Of nitrogen into the mus
cles.
With the increase in altitude
attainment that the modern air
plane provides, this condition of
"the bends" began to occur in air
plane pilots. II is easy to under
stand why it would; it is simply
the divers disease in reverse. The
diver goes from high pressure to
our normal atmosphere; the avi-
ator goes from normal to rarefied
atmosphere. The same physical
laws apply.
Affects Adrenal Glands
What part Of the body responds
first to shift in oxygen pres
sure? Unexpectedly and curious
ly, modern research has found
that the adrenal glands are the
ones first affected. Two labora-
tory workers, Armstrong and
Helm, found that if they exposed
rabbits to an atmosphere equiva-
lent to $4,000 feet for four hours,
the adrenal glands were swollen
one-third over normal size. Over
fatigued pilots, especially those
subjected to high altitude mis-
sions, develop symptoms striking
ly like what we have long known
TO be those of degeneration of the
sdrenal glands (Addison's dis
easel.
II IS possible to teach pilots how
to be safe in crashes. This began
with the study Of a curious gentle
man who became interested in
non-fatal suicide leaps from high
buildings. Investigating a series
Of these cases, he found that in
the non-fatal leap the victim usu-
ally landed fiat on his stomach or
back, so that the long bones or
the head was not driven into the
trunk. The lesson for pilots is OBJ
vious.

Churchill Future
May Be at Stake
In Talk With FDR
Nazi Gains in Libya
Cause Dissatisfaction
Among London Groups

WASHINGTON, June 20.
(UP) : President Roosevelt
and British Prime Minister
Winston Churchill, continu-
ing their historic conferences
at a secret rendezvous somewhere
in the United States, today were
believed to be considering decisions
which may have a far reaching
effect on outcome Of the war and
may influence Churchills political
future.
Reports from London said British
reversals in Libya we're generating
political unrest and that Churchill's
position in the British government
may depend upon outcome of the
conversations.
The talks, concerned mainly with
"the war, the conduct of the war
and the winning of the war" were
seen here as having two primary
purposes establishment of a Sec
ond European front and strengthen
ing of Allied positions in North
Africa.
Although no statement is expected
on the conference.-the third be-
tween Mr.. Roosevelt and Churchill
and their second since the United
States joined Britain as an active
ally after Pearl Harbor-it was in
dicated the meeting will be brief
London said Churchill came here
to make lightning decisions" on
conduct of the war.
The British withdrawal to the
Egyptian frontier. leaving Tobruk
again in a state of siege, was viewed
in Washington circles as serious,
but far from desperate" These
sources felt tbe development gave
added urgency to the talks and
that additional aid for the hard
pressed British in North africa
likely will result.
Probably Of equal importance is
the question of opening a second
front to relieve pressure on the
Soviet Union. The German siege
of Russia's naval base at Sevastopol

base of Sevastopol
Dispatches from Moscow said
German and Rumanian reserves
we're still being thrown into the
Sevastopol battle and it was in
dicated that the enemy had made
progress against the city's formid-
able Notifications, although at a
heavy price. Some German units
lost up to so per cent of their
effectiveness and probably 10000
to $4,000 have been killed so far in
the Is day battle.
The conflict in the Crimea was
widely believed to be the final
preparation for Hitler's promised
Ukraine offensive. Speculation was
still widespread on whether the AL
lies can relieve the Red army by
opening a second front in western
Europe this summer.
In London, the government lead
er in the house of commons, Sir
Stafford Cripps, promised that all
aid would be given and called for
an invasion of western Europe by
strong United Nations armies that
would not stop until they reached
Berlin.
On other fronts:
LIBYA-Two Axis columns turned
back about 25 miles from Bardis
without attempting strong fight;
RAF bombs Axis lines and bases in
Libya, Crete and Rhodes in spread

EUROPE - RAF attacks Emden
