The Signs az Czack-Up

it's the modern counterpart of the old-fash-
ioned nervous breakdown. Its victim cannot

disabling as pneumonia or tuberculosis. but
actual disease rarely accompanies it. 1t is ON
the increase. 1t most often occurs in people
who have always been considered normal"
and happy.
Where are the signs of crack-up to be found?

became a good soldier and eventually won
several citations after getting help in clearing
up worrisome domestic situation.
A corporal, on the verge of being broken
for drunkenness, was instead successfully
transferred to another unit when psychiatrists
learned that rough first sergeant was giving
him hard time.

the Army no longer waits for man to crack
up on neurotic shoals before helping him.
Preventive psychiatry deals with the total

successes and his failures. In Korea today.

front, with the result that 70 to 80 per cent

that can lead to cTack-up.
But, again, the supports have to be con-
sidered. The more important ones are those
that satisfy basic needs, like economic secr-
ity. receiving and giving affection, having

having certain measure of freedom, being
able to fulfill ones capabilities. Solid religious
belief, good education. good boss and a well
balanced personality are some other impor-
tant supports.
Too Much Compesision
0OME factors, like competition, Colonel Cald-
well says, can be supports if handled correctly,
or they may become stresses if carried to
an extreme. Colonel Caldwell tells of a
group of young executives with Canadian
firm. most of whom were found to be suf-
fering from ulcers and high blood pressure.
On investigating. psychiatrists discovered
that the firm had put them ON such highly
competitive basis that these young men had
developed a common symptom of crack-up
ulcers. Competition can be good force if
properly handled. but an individual will break
down if he is driven to compete too hard.
This frequently happens to children who are

Z. Are you noticeably bitter and slrly and

6. Are you careless about your appearance,

Z. Have you sharply increased your use of

8. Do you have ailments that are clearly
psychosomatic, like palpitation. sweating,
gastric complaints, low back pain, headaches,
excessive fatigue, dizziness, faintng?
.. Are you what doctors call an ''mco-
operative patient? Are you slow in seeking
medical advice; do you persist in self diagnosis
and self-treatment, ignore diets, forget medi-
cations, break appointments
Stresses and Supports
lM next question. of course, is what can
be done to head off the crack-up that these
symptoms point to. The Army's answer has
been highly effective program of what they
call preventive psychiatry."
Colonel John M Caldwell, until recently
chief of the Army's Psychiatry and Neurology
Consultants' Division, says, Every persons
life is composed of what we call stresses and
supports. The stresses are the things that bear
down on him. In the Army, they are such
things as being put in a job for which the
soldier is unssited; being treated as piece
of machinery rather than as human being;
being kept in combat too long without re-
placement or leave: having domestic or fam
lily problems"
At the same time that these stresses
arc weighing the soldier down, there are
n lot Of supports to sustain him. Colonel
Caldwell, who today is chief of the Neuro-
Psychiatric Service at the Armys Walter
Reed Hospital, says these supports include
good leadership all the way up and down the
command; feeling of group Identification;
acknowledge of current events; religious knowl-
edge; an understanding of why he's in uniform.
Most important of all, Colonel Caldwell be-
heves, is 'an adequate motivation to do the
job that has to be done"
Sometimes a support becomes stress.
For example, the Army has found that new
units often take nose-dive after they get
their first batch of letters from home. Mail is
ordinarily support, but these first letters are
generally of such a complaining nature that
they often become stresses. The Army is now
trying to enlighten soldiers families on the
kind of letters they should write to their men
in Uniform
When man has cracked up, or shows
symptoms of it, the Army checks his stresses
and supports. One man who was an incorrigi-
bic gold-brick, with permanent seat ON the
sick-call line, came around nicely when he
was assigned as clerk to the Post chaplain: he
had strong religious feelings which had been

Arlington Delegate
Chides Educators
BY the Assoeicied Press

FREDERICKSBURG, Aug. q
An Arlington woman ruff1ed the
closing session of a three-day con-
ference here today with a criticism
that its program of economist
speakers was one-sided.
Representing the American As
sociation of University Women,
Mrs. Edith T. Burton told a Vir-
ginia Education Association meet
ing it should have taken up some
opposing economic viewpoints as
well as those presented.
The conference has been high
lighted by talks by the former
presidential economic adviser. Dr.
Edward G. NourSe.
Mrs. Burton complained that no
one had represented the deficit
budget policy which DR.. Nourse
opposed, nor had anyone an
swered the charge by a Federal
Reserve official that price controls
are a "Straightjacket" and simply
won't work."
The conference moderator, Dean
Raymond B. Pinchbeck of Rich
mond University, defended DR..
Nourse as a liberal economist in
the old sense that liberalism
means keeping most of the people
free"
The YEA conference, studying
the problem of Education for
Economic Understanding" wound
up with list of recommendations
for Virginia public schools.
It called for new emphasis in
several fields to help teachers
get across economic principles.
Printed materials, in-service train
ing and audio-visual aids also
were suggested, as well as more
use Of available community re-
sources"
Teachers should emphasize life
experiences in dealing with the
problems of government, business,
labor and finance" it advised.
They should also teach an ap-
probation of the dignity of man,
his individual work and his place
in our economy. as well as the
dignity of mans work." the con-
ference recommendations con-
cluded.

Court Fight Due
On Prince Georges
Grade CROSSING

Prince Georges County Com
missioner Edward j. Waters an
|nounced yesterday that the coun-
,ty will file a court action soon to
force reopening of the Berwyn
|grade crossing.
Mr.. Waters has waged a long
fight to have the Baltimore &
Ohio Railroad remove barricades
set up several years ago. He said
yesterday that a box car on a
siding there for the last several
days has made the crossing more
dangerous than if it were open.
Pedestrians still walk across the
track, Mr.. Waters explained. in
order to avoid a two-mile trek by
way of the Beltsville overpass.
The railroad has refused to re-
open the crossing on the ground
that its use would subject motor
lists to unnecessary hazards from
trains travelling 80 miles an hour

Change in Visiting Nurse Setup
BewiIdering to New Mothers

|mittee reports that it was the
intent of Congress that this money
should go to the INvS and not to
public health nurses, although the
matter is not definitely stated.
But Health Director Daniel L.
Seckinger Immediately protested
the appropriation to the Commits
sioners, declaring his department S
budget already had been cut Sc
verely.
DR.. Seckinger has been out of
the city and unavailable for a
statement on the cutback of calls
to the IVNS or to what extent the
Health Department can take over
bedside nursing calls in view OF
previous statements of a nurse
shortage there.
Until now, except for its work
on special Home Care Project, the
IVNS has received no payment for
its approximately $4,000 calls a
year to District residents on pub
lie assistance.
The society is supported by the
Community Chest. It receives re-
quests for nursing visits from
public. voluntary and service hos
pitfalls. physicians, welfare author
tiles. individualS and other sources.
About 80 per cent of the visits
it makes are free.
No Immediate Care.
At least some Of the new moth
ers being discharged from CALM
ger Hospital now. many within
two or three days after delivery,
are receiving osimmediate follow
up care in their homes.
There is. for example, the case
|of Mrs. B. She gave birth to
twins July 9. She returned home
July IL. When a previous child
was born II months ago, she
had been visited by an IVNS
nurse soon after arriving home.
This time no nurse arrived until
July II, when she called the

look at the babies. She herself
was running a temperature when
the IVNS nurse arrived. And one

They're a little bewildered by
the change.
Four mothers, just out of Gal
Ilinger Hospital with new babies,
told how they missed the expected
|call by a visiting nurse after they
returned home.
Finally, they called the Instruc-
tive Visiting Nurse Society them
selves.
And little white haired wom-
an, painfully crippled by arth-
ritis, looked forward wistfully for
the same help from the new
nurses who are visiting her as she
had from the IVNS nurses.
Late in June, the Commissioners
notified the IVNS that the Health
Department nursing bureau would
take over bedside calls under the
so-called Home Care Project on
July /.
IVNS nurses had been making
the calls under this special pro-
gram, which undertook to care
at home for a selected number
of chronically Ill patients who
otherwise would have to be kept
in the hospital.
Cut Off Its Request.
Then, on July 8, Gallinger Hos
Ipital without explanation to the
society started cutting off its re-
quests for IVNS nurses to visit
new mothers released from the
hospital.
The society had been getting
about 80 calls a week for this type
of care from Gallinger, and a like
number for other general nursing
visits. Maternity calls now have
dwindled to almost nothing, al
though the other calls are still
coming.
The society can only speculate
on. the reason for the change
no official explanation has been
forthcoming.
But in calling the IVNS nurses
off the Home Care Project, for
which the District arranged to pay
up to $1,000 in the last fiscal year
Commissioner F. Joseph Donohue
cited lack of. funds.
And for the year beginning last

In the lead editorial for Sunday

"The time has come for a change
