Back Bill Providing
For Mental Institute
By Corter Brooke Jones

Discovery that one of every five
draft reflections was due to PERSONAL
Iity disorders has focused attention
on the seriousness of mental disease,
Maj. Gen. Lewis B. Hershey, di-
rector of Selective Service, told a
Senate subcommittee today.
In indorsing the principles of the
Pepper bill providing for a national
neuropsychiatric institute in or near
Washington and grants to the States
for research in mental illness, Gen.
Hershey cited Selective Service ex-
prience.
Since the system was set up in
November, 1910, he said, 1000 of
100000 men rejected for service
have been culled out because of
some mental or nervous trouble.
Gen. Menninger Testifies.
Gen. Hershey said he was heartily
in favor of legislation designed to
search out the causes of psychic dis
orders and to seek the best means of
treatment and cure.
Brig. Gen. William Menninger.
famed head of the Menninger Clinic
and at present chief of the Army's
neuropSychiatric division, supple
menting Gen. Hershey's figures, said
80 per cent of the men passed by
selectlve service boards, but re-
Jected at induction centers, were
found to be suffering from person.
ality disorders.
During the war there were more
than 100000 admissions to Army
hospitals for neuropsychiatric all
ments, he added. From 10 to IS per
cent OF the average number of pa
tlents in these hospitals daily were
of this class, he said.
Gen. Minninger reported that 80
per cent of army physical discharges
were for neuropsychiatric disorders
While 1000 out of the 5000 psy-
chiatristS in private practice before
the war entered the military serv-
ice, he said, this number was totally
inadequate to deal with a problem
of such magnitude.
Navy Officer Testifies.
Capt. Francis Braceland, Chief of |
the Navy's neuropsychiatric divi-
sion, emphasized that most of the
men in the navy who had to be
discharged or given treatment for
disorders coming under this divi-
sion were not insane. OF 81 900 re-
Jected for neuropsychiatric reasons

he said, only 1878 were psychotics
The rest were suffering from mildel

land indorsed the bill.
Strong approval OF the measure
came from Eugene Meyer, publisher
OF the Washington Post and chair
man OF the National Committee on
Mental Hygiene.
Mr.. Meyer said he regarded the
bill as an economy rather than
an expense to the Government. be-
cause it would deal with a prob
lem which is crippling and disabling
many persons in industry. The
medical profession, he said is largely
to blame for the belated attack
on psychiatric disorders, because
for many years its interest in this
major field of medicine Jagged,
but now this is being overcome.
