Reluctance to Fight Is Common
In Soldiers, Psychiotrist Says

Reluctance to fight is a common
feeling in most soldiers, DR.. Will
liam w. Krause told the Medical
Society of st. Elizabeths Hospital
yesterday.
DR.. Krause, former resident psy-
Ichiatrist at st. Elizabeths, who re-
Gently returned from Korea, spoke
at a session of the 18th annual
meeting Of the society.
Speaking of his experiences dur
ing the early part Of the Korean
war, he said if soldiers who were
reluctant to fight were eliminated
there wouldn't be enough left tc
fight the battle.
Realizing the fear q soldier has
of battle, DR.. Krause said, he ap-
piled this as a criteria in evaluat-
ing a mans fitness to return to
duty.
"PSychologically, it is better fol
the man himself to return tt
duty" DR.. Krause said. IF hi
can rejoin his unit, develop con-
fidence in himself and his buddies
and conduct himself adequately
in a battle or two. not only is he
"a better soldier but his psyche
logical attitude toward himself is
vastly improved"
"A young West Point lieutenant
was referred to me because he
had broken down early in oul
drive north in February. He had
been in combat since September
and acquitted himself well. Dur
ing the Chinese break-through in
late November his company was
surrounded and only he and three
enlisted men escaped death OF
capture.
HE had helped reform a new
company and train them in the
next two months, during which
they had had no contact with the

Wives Form Union
To Punish Husbands
In Indian Village
BY the Associated Press

CALCUTTA, India, April 49,
Wives of tea-garden laborers and
coal miners in Margherita, Assam,
have formed a union to control
their husbands.
After the village headman
pleaded inability to redress the
wives grievances, the women con-
ferTed Friday and decided not to
tolerate their husbands insults, to
punish collectively husbands who
beat wives. to refuse to prepare
their husbands homebrew liquor,
and to discourage absenteeism
from work.
One habitual absentee coal min
er returned to work today despite
having a fever.

they will let us know about 1t. If
there are any good reasons ad-
vanced for not putting it through,
I'd be opposed to it. Personally,
I'm in favor of home rule for the
District.
Senator Hunt, Democrat, OF
Wyoming. member of the Senate
District Committee:
II have been so busy I haven
had time yet to study the Budget
Bureau reorganization plan, nor
that Of the Commissioners. I want
to do that before I say anything"
Senator Welker, Republican, OF
Idaho:
If you want to know where
stand, I'm against it. Such a dras-
tic reorganization at the top level
of the District government, abol-
ishing the Board of Commission
ers' system which has worked we'll
since 1873 should not be done in
this manner. If it is to be done
at all, it should be by affirmative
legislation by Congress, not under
a presidential reorganization pro-
posal that automatically would
become law unless we do some
thing about it within so days.
Il don't like the idea of a part
time city council, and I certainly
do not think that men of proper
qualifications and devotion to
their responsibilities would be at
tracted by such low pay as $1,000
$4,000 a year."
Dislikes Form Of Plan.
Senator Bennett, Republican, of
Utah, of the Senate District Com
mittee:
Il hope the proposal will not
come to the Senate in the form
of reorganization plan. First, be-
cause the time for consideration
lis so short: second. because it
would either have to be adopted
or rejected. 1t could not be
amended in any way.
Anything so controversial
should not come to Congress in
a form which forbids amend
ments."
Senator DworShak, Republican,
of Idaho. member of he Senate
Committee on government opera
tons:
THE President. as a champion
of home rule for Washington,
certainly has violated his own
principle when he denies to the
people of Washington the right to
work out a reorganization plan
of their own"
Senator O'COnor, Democrat, CT
Maryland, said he would have no
comment until the Presidents plan
comes to the Senate.
Representative Harden, Repub-
lican, of Indiana, member of the
House Expenditures Committee:
Although I am not we'll in
formed on the plan at this point.
lit seems to me that it is poorly
timed. So many House members
are out of town. I hope that a
very thorough investigation will be
made by our committee"

Reorganization

but also entail some things that
are not good. To send up the
District reorganization plan would
force us to act on it within SO
days. I do not have the time
to give the necessary attention to
it, and I doubt if other members
would have time to devote to
hearings that should be held.
Il would hesitate to swallow
such a reorganization plan with
out time for very careful study
and hearings.
If the President thinks the
Budget Bureau plan is good, let
him send it up in the proper
way. as proposed legislation, SUBJ
ject to amendment and enact
ment, not as reorganization plan
that would force us to act within
a specified time regardless Of all
other pressing business"
Room for Improvement.
Senator Humphrey, Democrat,
of Minnesota said he was not
familiar with merits of the Presi-
dents proposal.
But" he declared, there is
big room for improvement in the
city government"
LAS former Mayor of Mime
apolis and advocate of home rule
for Washington, the lawmaker
said that, in making any changes
in city government, the people
themselves should be consulted.
i Perhaps it would be desirable
for the Bureau of the Budget to
hold open hearings to obtain the
opinion of the people here" he
said. When charter commissions
attempt to revise city government
they always try to get as much
consent as possible from all ele-
ments of the people before sub
hitting a plan"
The lawmaker said he was moi
criticizing the President for at
tempting to prepare a reorgani-
cation plan for the city and senc
lit to Congress. Perhaps, the Sen
Iator said, the President realized
the home rule bill, which passed
the Senate. is now buried in the
House that he was faced with
Legislative realities"
Maybe that's why he plans tc
send his plan up as a reorganiza-
ton proposal. That is only my
personal opinion. I have no def
mite information on that point.
IF Congress gets the proposed
Reorganization, there will be hear

In an adjoining tent. subcom-
mittees of top-level negotiators
abandoned attempts to break the
double-barreled truce supervision
deadlock.
They handed to staff officers tie
disputes over Communist nominal
ton of Soviet Russia as a neutral
inspector and a U. N. command
demand that airfield construction
be banned during an armistice.
Prisoner exchange negotiations
were recessed April 4 so both sides
could explore possible solutions to

prisoners be repatriated against
their will.

cormier and Courtney were
captured at gunpoint a scant Ia
minutes following the time they
walked out of the South Beach
Restaurant with an alleged ST.
600 by q smooth working Key
West police department dragnet.
The Mexican Tavern stickup
occurred when Nebo, who oper-
ates the Tavern in partnership
with his brother Oscar, was clos
ing up the place after the nights
business at about $50 am. on
Feb. 18th. Nebo said that he
noticed car pass the tavern and
return and park across the door
way when an armed man with
a silk stocking over his face
entered the bar and forced the
occupants against the wall and
demanded the cash. When Nebo
tried to block his exit, the gum
man said. Get out of my way
or I'll kill YOU"
The bandit then jumped into a
getaway car, a grey Cadillac
later reported stolen from Paul
Baer.
AT the time of the stickup,
there were four people in the
bar including Nebo and his wife,
a waitress named Marie Robert
shaw and a musician employed
by the club. All went to the City
Jail at the request of the local
police who had Cornfier and
Courtney in custody following
their capture in q wild Holly
wood like chase following the
Logm robbery. All positively
identified Courtney as the gum
man who had terrorized them
the night before. He was still
wearing the same dark shirt he
had on at the time of the holdup,
they said.
