He said the number of patients
OF this type coming out of the
armed forces was not much higher
If any, than would be found in a

run slightly higher, he added, be-
cause of the youth Of most soldiers

EAST HARTFORD, Conn. - Con-
Sistent records up to $4,000 hours of COM

lifted with the concurrence of the Civil

Elimination OF service limitations, un-

Guy M. Gillette, chairman, Surplus Pro-

OF keeping fighting aircraft up to date
created great surplus of planes no longer

He proposed three steps ito make surplus

Charges that veterans in neuro-

before the House Veterans Com

medical officer of the Veterans Ad-
ministration's neuro-psychiatric di-

Returning Veterans
Pose Mental Problem

The best way to handle" a re-
turning veteran is to relax and re-
member he's still the same person
who went away and not a psyche
logical problem"
That's the advice Capt. Francis
J. Braceland, chief of the neuro
psychiatry branch of the Navys
Bureau of Medicine and Surgery
gave to 800 Red Cross volunteer
workers who met today at the In
terror Department auditorium to
discuss their responsibility to return
ing servicemen.
There's too much nonsense about
veterans having psychoneurotic
problems, Capt. Braceland said.
The ma jority of these men will re-
turn normal, young and healthy.
Many have grown up emotionally
and gained new insight. They will
rightfully resent being treated as
peculiar"
Below Civilian Rate.
Even those who are classified by
the services as psychoneurotic should
not be regarded with a 'jaundiced
eye the speaker said This classi-
fication does not mean they have
any mental disease, but only that
they are not adaptable to military
service. The mental disease rate
in the Navy is proportionately far
below that of the civilian population
"Sixty-five per cent of all psyche
neurotics recover completely within
three months; 20 per cent more
recover in the next three months
The greatest service you can do
these men is to remind any who
may be their prospective employers
that a mans prewar record is far
more reliable as guide to his ability
than a psychoneurotic rating"
Read djastment Important.
The speaker declared although
the readjustment of veterans to civ
ilian life is one of our important
problems veterans themselves are
not problems. Any husband ,wGlle
rather be caught in An enemy
searchlight than in the understand
ing eye-an eye which looks on him
not as person but as a mysterious
problem demanding %synpathy but
not. acceptance" - D,l
Maj. Alfred FleishmanAof the Con-
valescent Services Division, ONCE of
Air Surgeon, also cautioned the VOL
unteers against an attitude Of too
much sweetness and sympathy to
the veteran.
Treat him like perfectly normal
guy Maj Fleishman advised. IF
he isn't normal he'll get that way
quicker If he isn't talked down to or
pampered. In our convalescent
service we try to talk to the fellows
IN their own language and we wish
all civilians would, too.
