which will extend the benefits of
existing social insurance programs
to as large proportion of the popu-
lation as possible"
For the vast ajority of our peo-
pie, freedom from want must and
should be attained through partici-
pating in production" DR.. Burns de-
clared.
The major domestic problem fac
ing postwar America is to assure ef-
fective employment of all our re-
sources including labor, and by so
doing raise the national income to
heights undreamed of" in the pre-
war era, she declared.
Freedom from want, however, will
not be realized automatically even
by solving the unemployment prob
lem, the speaker added
THE old, the young, the sick and
the seasonally or temporarily un-
employed would not necessarily be
assured Of income even if we had
full employment as that term is
understood she argued.
To correct present inadequate
laws, DR.. Burns suggested that
steps should now be taken to ex-
tend the benefits of existing social
insurance programs to as large a
proportion of the populations as pos
sible." She also urged immediate
enactment of permanent and tenn
porary disability insurance"
The speaker also warned against
wastage Of the strategic years of
young people and declared that I'VE
must see that they are provided with
the necessary work and training
which will enable them on reaching
adulthood to compete effectively
with other adults"
In concluding, DR.. Burns recon-
mended the development of a COM
prehensive general public assistance
system to care for needy people re-
gardless of their age, sex or place
of residence.
IF our social security programs
are to meet the challenge of the
postwar world, we must begin now
to examine the social services which
have preventive and constructive
character and plan for their expan-
sion where this is needed" she as
serted
The speaker, who left following
the meeting for Philadelphia, was
introduced by Mrs. Elizabeth Del
man, executive secretary of the
league.
The session was held at the home
of Mrs Clifford Pinchot, with the
program following an informal "box
luncheon"

Hope Held Out
ToServicenen
Mentally Ill
DR.. Overholser Says
Their Chances for
Recovery Are Good

An optimistic opinion Of the out
look for many Of the servicemeu
who have been admitted to st. Eliza
beth's as result Of the war was
expressed by DR.. Winfred Overhol-
ser, superintendent of the hospital
before members of the Washington
Club yesterday.
Speaking on the subject, Mental
Hygiene in q Troubled World" DR..
Overholser declared breakdowns
that occur in the Army frequently
have q better outlook than those
found in civilian life.
Many of the boys who have been
admitted to st. EIzabeth's are well
on the way to recovery before they
get to U.s." he said.
DR.. Overholser pointed out that
the stress and strain of war affects
both the circulatory and CASTRO
nomic system, frequently resulting
in mental breakdowns
Scores Civilian Prejudices.
"These men often can be rehabili-
tated and become very useful in
civilian life," he added.
The speaker declared that civilians
must be educated to break down
prejudices against men who have
been treated for mental diseases.
For that reason, he added, the Army
no longer gives the reason of a
mans disability on his discharge
papers.
Asked whether he thought the
present war would produce as many
mental casualties as the last, DR..
Overholser said he thought there
was a fair chance that the cases
will be even greater in this war
due to the increased STRESS"
DR.. Overholser declared that doc
tors, including those who treat men,
tai diseases, are not interested in
getting more patients into hospitals
but in guarding health in order to
keep people out of hospitals.
Seek to Prevent Breakdowns.
Medical men, he suggested, are
perhaps the only professional men
trying to keep themselves out of
a job"
Describing psychiatry as a branch
of medicine, DR.. Overholser told of
the strides made in this field since
the Civil War when the mentally
i'll were called "lunatics" and looked
upon as subjects for charity rather
than patients for medical practi-
TONERS.
The objective of mental hygiene" "
he commented, 'is to prevent break
downs and make people more pro-
ficient"
The medical world now recognizes
a close link between physical health
and mental well being, he declared,
and already cures for illnesses which
caused mental breakdown have been
discovered. AS an example, he cited
the fact that the use of certain vita
minis results in a rapid cure of pei
legra, a disease which formerly
caused mental illness.
Many Can Benefit.
He also declared that there are
many mental symptoms attributed
to old age which are due essentially
to a deficiency in vitamins. Many
of these, he added, can be greatly
benefited if not entirely cured by
the administration of vitamins.
DR.. Overholser invited members
of the Washington Club to visit St.
Elizabeth's Hospital this spring to
see the work being done to beau
tify the grounds.
The speaker was introduced by
Mrs. Cloyd Heck Marvin. president
of the club. After the program he
and Mrs. Overholser, who also was
a guest, remained for an informal
buffet luncheon.

TRUCK DRIVERS
OUT ON STRIKE
West Springfield Dispute
Affects 1870; Spread to
Other Cities Feared

West Springfield, Mass, Feb. "a
(UP)-A federal conciliator was ex-
pected here today in an attempt to
settle an inter-union dispute that
resulted in strike of about l3C
AFL truck drivers and threatened
to spread to other New England
cities.
All employed at the Associated
Transport, Inc, trucking center, the
members of the International
Brotherhood Of Transfers, Chauf-
feurs, Warehousemen g. Helpers OF
America (AFL) said the walkout re-
suited from the discharge Of IA driv-
ers by Business Agent Benjamin F.
Naylor.
Paul A. Shelley, leader of the pro-
testants, charged the union with
"domineering and dictatorial tactics
and said the strike was endorsed
by 1870 Of the 1856 drivers operating
out Of the transport center.
He said Naylcrs dismissal action
came when the IA men sought to
form an independent union free of
"AFL domination"
Naylor said that the strikers were
being ''misled" and that freight was
being moved with the aid Of outside
truckmen and union business agents.

washington, Tuesday.-Yesterda
morning, the President, Madame
Chang Kai-Shek and I left about
10:45 and drove flrst to the tomb
Of the unknown soldier, where, as q
representative Of her nation, Madame
Chang laid wreath. The usual
ceremony. the playing Of the ma
tional anthems and the bugle blow
ing taps, seemed as impressive to
me as ever.
And 1t even harder now not to
weep when those bugle notes float
into the air, and 7 think Of how
often they are being heard over
the fresh graves Of our boys IN
many parts OF the world. We are
getting so much sad news these
days, both In the loss Of ships and
Of men, that ones emotions are
rather close to the surface.
From the tomb Of the unknown
soldier, we drove directly to Mt.
Vernon. It was not as restful a
drive as I had hoped 1t might pc,
because we were surrounded by
motorcycles which made so much
noise. But, I suppose, that Is one
Of the penalties one pays for repre-
senting nations. The air was soft
and pleasant and I listened with
interest to all that Madame Chang
and the President were talking
about.
Once at Mt. Vernon, we drove
directly to Washington's Tomb,
where both my husbands and Ma
dame Chiang's wreaths were laid
inside the crypt. By chance, Gov
