poets of rehabilitation also must be considered.
 "Society's civilian general staff must collaborate with it's military general staff in preparing commit mites to receive veterans and pre- pairing veterans to heturn to whole some and happy community life" Certain definite reforms should be initiated even before the war ends, according to Dr. Glueck:
 1. Increase the number of mental hygiene and family guidance clin- ics, and make them places here servicemen, their sweetheartS or wives and children can go for ad- vice with as much confidence and lack of shame as they would go to an eye clinic or stomach specialist. Tie-in With Activities
 2. Integrate the work of the clinics with factory, school, church and recreational programs, so mental hygiene advisers will be able to in- plement their treatment with daily activities, and determine whict. methods are most helpful.
 3. Introduct into courts the prac.. tice of considering the history of g. mans military service before passing sentence.
 4. Develop a network of neigh borhood goodwill agencies to coun- teract the sinister forces released by the Axis in America. See that the ideals which soldiers and sailors have fought and died for are not de- stroyed by "hate-peddling termites on the home front"
 5. Inaugurate Stricter control over firearms, and punish unauthor- ized possession of machine guns. sawed-off shotguils and other weap- ons the ordinary citizen has no business to possess. Investigation reveals large portion of homicides never would have occurred if the accused had no5 happened to have a weapon on him at the moment of anger or excitement.
 Eager to be Decent
 There are some wonderful fea- lures about the American lad" the living according to the rules of the said. "He is strcng for fair-play, for game. He is naturally opposed to bigOtry and is more generous, both in avoiding unfair criticism and in contributing to worthy causes, than any other person on the face of the globe. Give him half a chance and he is decent, law-abiding and reli- able. It is up to our society to give the returning veteran not only half a chance, but the whole chance"

CAMPUS KISSING
 OUT AT 1. s. U.
Students Indict Faculty on Charge of Suppressing
 Their Freedom
By JOHN LEWIS STONE United Press Staff Correspondent

Baton Rouge. La, Dec. 19-(UP) President w. B. Watcher o. Louisiana State University stood firm on his edlct against campus kissing today ard prepared to re- ceive student council delegates whc want a fair trial for the banished coed martyr of their cause ano New Deal on student liberties.
 Gloria Jeanne Heller, sophomore crusader whose "underground' pamphlet indicted the faculty or a charge of suppressing student freedom, still was on the outside looking in as the campus echoed with rebel yells.
 These developments came rapid- ly:
 Hatcher agreed to meet with the student council al p. m. to dis cuss possible reinstatement of Miss Heller.
 Dr. J. A. Thompson, director of the Division cf American Rela- tions at the University, arrived by plane from Washington and warned 150 Latin American students who flocked to the Havana coeds ban- ner that they were guests at the school and should abide by the rules of the host.
 Alejandro CarrioL of Nicaragua, said the Latins diGn't feel that they were guests but members of the stu dent body with right to uphold free speech and free press.
 Julio Platas, Mexico City junior and Miss Heller's boy friend said he had a personal interest in the case and was ready to fight for freedom of expression. He posed for picture with his sweetheart but they declined to kiss. They shook hands.
 Mrs. Mumford Phillips. house mother at the cormitory where Miss Heller stayed. said she was a good girl.
 A coed said that girls outnum- bered men three 10 one at the uni versity and If girl gets chance to kiss . man and passed it, she's nuts"
 School officials said half the stu dents skiped class yesterday and predicted that more would be absent today. The student newspaper said in an editorial this morning that Miss Heller's forced resignation was violation of the student body con- stitution which apparently has beer recognized and approved by the uni versity.
 Miss Heller was asked to resign after her one-page mimeographeo pamphlet-an essay on the dignity and rights of students as humans rather than robots" - filtered through the student body to Hatch CTS office.
 While the exiled champion of dis erect goodnight kisses stood by with the moral support of an older sister still in the university's good graces her father spoke up in Havana Cuba. in her defense.

The contention that servicmen.- obsessed with the killer instinct"-- wiu lay down a rifle only to pick up a. Sawed?ofcf shotgun, presupposes an economy that has begged down completely into unemployment and ptivation, Dr. Glueck said in an iri- terview, The urge to kill, he ex- plained, normally disappears with the necessity of killing in war.
 No Rise After 1918
 Those forecasting that war; trained Americans will become post graduates in crime have misinter- preted criminal statistics, said Dr. Glueck who is considered one of the worlds greatest legal authorities. He noted that in the postwar years 1S65-75 and 1918-28 no substantial increases occurred in serious crimes, though the number of thefts and mil nor offenSeS rose. During the years following World War I, he said, in- prisonment for homicide and rape showed no higher proportions among eX-servicemen than among ordinary offenders.
 ~SAs NAAAONh 0C1lCYCo UIIG GELuT1l1k1S servicemen faces two sets of prob lems: finding satisfying job, and becoming adjusted to the, tameness restraints and duties of civilian life after living in a world of adventure.
 Grimes like robbery and sex of lenses depend not only on mental makeup, but in large measure on the nations economy" said Dr. Glueck. "Is the veteran going to be able to work and earn decent liv- ing with sense of economic Secur- ity for the future, CT will events tend to make him believe that he is justi- fled in stealing? Will he have a job that pays enough to enable him to marry at reasonably early age, and start home of his own? If he will, hp--will adapt himself much more readily to decent life"

There Is Hope for the Alcoholic" Series Opens
 Tomorrow Night

There Is Hope for the Alcoholic is the titleo new series of three 15-minute broadcasts to be heard over Station WTTC at 7:30 p. m. beginning Wednesday, December 20 and continuing each Wednesday throgh January 3.
 The series is to be conducted by the Hartford group of Alcoholics Anonymous. The first program which is written in dialogue form will feature Dr. John c. Leonard, assistant medical director of Hart ford hospital. Dr. Leonard has had 8 long and sympathetic experience with, Alcoholics Anonymous. He has turned over to this organization countless cases wherein the medical profession has failed to perfect a cure. Associated with pr. Leonard will be three men, all former ad- diets who owe their recovery to the work of Alcoholics Anonymous.
 The Hartford A A. group which will be three years old in January, is one of some 370 branches of the National Alcoholics Anonymous which is now ten years old and claims 15,000 members, all former addicts. Having found no real cure for alcoholism in spite of many treatments that have been offered as cures, members of Alcoholics Anonymous work on the theory that complete abstinence is the only an- Swer to addiction. They offer a twelve point program of self-re- mobilization to new members and supply the moral support and com panionship necessary to enable new members to follow the program and maintain complete abstinence throughout it. Alcoholics Anony- nous has been acclaimed publicly for having saved war plants many hours and has been termed by pub lie officials as the "only cure" that has had any appreciable affect on the problem of alcoholism.
