On Servicemen's
Problems
BY DOUGLAS LARSEN

WASHINGTON, - Relatives and
friends of men still overseas have
recently become greatly worried
about delays in the arrival of mail
from them. For example, a mother
may not hear from her son for
couple Of months, though he
writes daily. Then perhaps the
letters she has written him are
returned to her. Naturally, she
lmagines all sorts Of things.
There are several very logical
explanations for these delays at
this time, and in most cases rela-
yves are worrying needlessly.
The most important reason il
that Rehabilitation of the Army
mas been too fast. A large per-
centage of the men in the Arrny's
postal service have been dis
charged. The men who are re-
placing them haven't much ex'
perleace, so mistakes and delays
are inevitably multiplied.
There has been a rapid cut, too,
IN the size OF the Air Transport
Command, which up until now
mas carried all oversee air mail.
Because of the lack of plsnes'
crews, and maintenance person
mel, much mail supposed to be
flown to this country has oeen
delayed for weeks and OCCASION
ally even months. Some OF "
finally arrives by ship. ND
All this takes lot OF time, 60 ~,

son. Recently commercial lines
have been commissioned to fly
Army mail. This should help.
There are long intervals of 81
lence from men who are in
foreign ports, alerted for trans
portation home. They are told to
stop writing when they are alert
ed. In the meantime, they may
have to wait weeks and months
before ship is ready for them.
Each day they believe they will
leave the next, so, naturally, they
don't write home.
And men in this status find it
The Wilmington morning star. [volume] (Wilmington, N.C.) 1909-1990, 1946-03-22

difficult to get mail. After they
are alerted, letters addressed to
them are either held in this coun-
try pending their arrivals or are
returned to the senders.
Because distances are greater
out there, mail from the Pacific
zone is generally delayed longer
than that from men in Europe.
The Army says a sudden stop
in mail from a boy overseas is
usually a good sign-an indication
that he is coming home-and
nothing to get very worried about.
Questions will be answered
only in this space-not by mail. }

US. To Cut Air DeIoys
 By Weather

Washington, June IA GUP) - The Government made three moves today to reduce Interruptions in air service caused by bad weather. They were:
 l. Joint announcement by the Civil Aeronautics Administration and the Air Transport Associat ton that instrument landing equipment will be in operation at l05 airports in time to combat next Winters weather conditions,
 2. House approval of legislation directing the Weather Bureau to make a study of the causes of thun- derstorms and hurricanes with a view to improving forecasts.
 3. Weather Bureau announce ment of a program to coordinate the nations l2 weather forecasting centers in order to standaFdize pro. cedures and improve predictions.
 CAA estimated that installation of the instrument landing equip- ment will cost the Government from $4,000, 900 to $5,000.0 Vice Admiral Emory s, Land, ATA president, said the funds will be well spent as the nations airlines lose more than $25, ,O00, ,000 a year because of disrup- tion of schedules due to bad wea- theT.
 The instrument landing appara- tus being installed at major airportS transmits signals to radio receivers in planes, enabling pilots to let down for safe landings although they have no visual contact with the ground.

 Much of the research was dOne in the cellar of the Lion House al the Bronx Zoo where the eels. sonic of them seven feet long. were tak- en after being flown to this coun- try from tn headwaters of the Anna zon in South America. Germany had been suspected of having made similar experiments during the war.
 The research project by the Chemical Warfare Service vas a highly-gtarded secret until last November when some details were disclosed for scientific purposes.

The cells electrical system also ia similar to the nervous system of man, although voltage In the hue man system Is much lower. Some electric cells produce 55O-volts-- enough to kill q man and persons working with electric eels wear rubber gloves.
 The new gas is known as disso- prOpyl flourOphosphate. or DEP. Few details of the gas have been released. but from bits of informa- tiOn permitted to be known, it was learned that DEP knocks out eho- line esterase. the biological chem teal which causes the nerve to pro- duce electricity.
 In warfare. the gas could be dropped from an airplane flying at great altitude and completely knock out defending forces and permit an invading army to walk in virtually In concentrated form, the new gas could kill.

 Nations Outlook
 ln 90 Schools
 To Do Largest
 Ia 90 Years

Freshmen enrolment in the na. tion's 70 dental schools next Oc. tober will be the largest in 20 years according to the Council on Dental Education Of the American Dental Association.
 Preliminary reports indicate that the l046 freshmen enrolment will exceed 5000 students. two and one half times that of October last year when only l.2Ol freshmen entered dental schools--a % year low.
 Previous 20-year peak freshmen enrolment was reached in l942 when 2.702 students began the study of dentistry.
 According to pr. Harlan H. Hor- ner, executive secretary O fthe Coun. ell on Dental Education. approxi- mately two-thirds of the new dental students will be war veterans. He said:
 An unexpected number of mem- bers Of the armed forces were pre- pared for the study of dentistry in whole or in part before entering the service. The number who have already qualified and the applica. tions indicate that all available places will be filled in freshmen classes this Fall and that there may be large number of students un. able to secure admission because of lack of sufficient educational facilities.
 Dr. Horner pointed out that the upward trend in enrollments is the first sign since the beginning of the war that the number of new dental graduates will keep pace with Increases in population. Even at the accelerated enrolment. he said, the nation faces a shortage of den. lists for the next IS years.
