Mississip andip Califor SHRD ETA Mississippi and California. The cen- ters are quiet places in the country, offering good food, comfortable beds and recreation-all free. They are maintained by the War Shipping Administration and the United Sea- mems Service.
 Commander Blain became inter ested in merchant marine casual ties" last spring when he met and treated a young British seaman. After that, he met more seamen as they came off ships, gave them free clinical aid at his own office. Soon afterward he won the support of the War Shipping Administration.
 We now meet all ships, interview survivors, and decide whether they are fit to carry on, or whether they belong in hospitals or rest centers," Commander Blain explained.
 ''These centers simulate homelike atmosphere, with trained nurses, out of uniform, watching the men; psy- chiatrists talking over things with them in a friendly manner; neigh bors listening to, and praising, their exploits"
 One of the important psychiatric treatments at these centers is a careful analysis by the seamen and doctors of the life the men will be going back to, once they ship out again. Doctors mentally prepare the men for battle. They tell them just how they'll react, just how their nerves will respond The men, an- ticipating this, return confidently to service where the ratio of losses is 400 per cent higher than in our combined armed forces.
 FEW DRINKS MAY HELP
 Not all torpedoed seamen suffer from convoy fatigue, and some have it in milder doses than others. Con- mander Blain believes that some times royal drunk will do much to cure normal seaman who has lived through days of mounting tension, or been exposed to death in life boat. But alcohol is not always a good resort Good phychiatry helps most of the men, once they realize that they are actually sick.
 In addition to the rest centers and medical admittance offices in the United States, the War Shipping Administration and the United Sea- mems Service maintain foreign and domestic chain of residential clubhouses for merchant seamen, recreational centers and a personal service division on a scale unheard of in maritime service history until World War IT.
 AS therapeutic in treatment as the rest centers at home are residential clubhouses for seamen, established in the wake of war at most ports where great American conveys dock. The clubs are bits of America on foreign shores where the men can read American newspapers, drink American coffee, play pool or buy

RePortOn BIockout

Boston, July 22.-UP)-The six New England states began compar- ing notes today after last nights test blackout which army authorities described as the nearest possible to the real thing"
 Four army bombers, stimulating enemy invader planes, apparently flew in from the sea, causing Ban- gor, Me. to be alerted at 8:33. A few minutes later, alarms sounded in Augusta and Portland. Countless towns along the coast sounded only the Red" signal instead of prelim- mary alerts because of the swift passage of the planes.
 The bombers moved down the Maine and New Hampshire coast preceded by a blanket of darkness At the Massachusetts-New Hamp- shire borCer, one set of planes set out for central Massachusetts while the other continued down the coast
 Boston was alerted at 9:09 with the warning that planes were di- rectly overhead being sounded at 1O:38.
 The final all-clear came in Con- necticut at 10:55 when the raiding bombers veered off toward the sea
 The planes came from a northern base.
 Initial reports from Massachusetts indicated that air raid personnel and civilians had cooperated 100 per cent to make a test a success. Ar lington, however, was thrown into confusion by the failure of its siren to sound properly. Officials at Port land, Me, also reported failure of an air raid siren.

and there won't be so long as I am at the head of the FBI Our purpose is not to put a lot of healthy young men in prison, but to put them in the armed forces where they be- long, and the way we go about accomplishing that purpose is as orderly and businesslike as the procedure employed by a rep utable business organization in the collection of a debt. These methods had already resulted in saving the regulations of more than 60,OO0 young men and add ing them to the armed manpoWer of the nation.
 Dirty Work" for Amateurs
 "Otherwise reputable persons either from affection or self-in- terest, too often play a little-un- derstood role in the despicable crime of draft evasion. Most of these connivers at crime are pri- vate citizens. It is pleasure to report that few draft officials have been corrupt, and that even professional politicians, the usual seekers of unwarranted favors have refused to soil their hands with anything so contemptible as aid and abetting a draft dodger That dirty work has been left to amateurs.
 Tn this category we find sen- timentalists of the type that send flowers to murdererS, and the usual cranks and cultists; also the politically disaffected, haters of our wartime leadership, matters ot our wartime allies; and, of course members of extreme pacifist or ganizations, enemy sympathizerS and individuals actively engaged in subversive activities. But the great majority of these aiders and abettors are, l am sorry to say respectable people, or at least people with regulations for re- spectability-either employers oi misguided relatives of the delin- quent draftee,

All five were sentenced in the Federal court at Little Rock | to total of six years imprison- ment.
 Little Danger
 By comparison with these drastic and elaborate methods employed by older people to pro- tect the young, the devices adopt ed by the youngsters themselves to hoax the authorities seem so transparently trivial as to con- stitute small menace to the pulp lie veal For example, young man of Richmond, Virginia, fool ishly hoped to beat the draft by producing his girl-friend in the guise of dependent sister; a certain other young man, of Jack son, Mississippi, claimed to be five years younger than he was, without even a vestige of manu- factured proof to protect him from discovery; and a certain citizen of Chicago, after barricading himself in his house, falsely claimed that he was a conscien- tious objector, whereas his school record revealed that he had ac- tually been captain in the Re- serve Officers Training Corps.
 '"These episodes are untypical of the attitude of American youth in general. After all the pre-war talk about our boys being soft and irresponsible and lacking in patri- otism, it is satisfaction to know that today's youths are taking this war far more seriously than many of their predecessors did the first World War The sharp decrease in the percentage of draft dodg- CTS in the present conflict, al- though due in some measure to improved methods of law enforce ment, is indisputable evidence that, by and large - and very large it is American youth has met the challenge of Amer ica's need.
 q regret to say that I have noted no such decrease in the percentage of the older people who are willing to aid and abet youngsters in efforts to evade service in the armed forces of the United States. There have been thousands of these cases where employers or relatives have sought to interfere with the op- cration of the Selective Service Act, The courts are inclined to give all but the worst offenders among the youthful delinquents a chance to purge themselves of oiIense, even at the last moment, by immediate entrance into the service. Rightly. however, they have little mercy for the person of maturity and experience who conspires to weaken by a single soldier the armed manpower Of the nation,

 "rhc truth about draft dodeing Is that there won't be any eases which cannot be handled quickly and quietly by the constituted authorities, once families and friends realize that interference by them is useless to the draftee and. as We have seen. dangerous to themselves"
