others. Strong emotions tightly
bottled up often produce an in
tense inner conflict which the stress
of battle or prison camp can ex-
plode. In the case of Jack Dunn
this inner conflict, touched off by
the terrible external pressure, led
him to join the Communists. We
cannot say how.

PERHAPS, under the persuasion
and pressure Of his captors, his
intense and immature emotions
erupted in a pseudo-religious CON
version to Communism.
Perhaps il took a combination
of factors to push this unfortunate
American boy across the Cornmu-
mist lines in search of a happiness
and sense of personal worth he was
unable to find at home. Needless
to say, he will soon discover that
his psychological problems are not
so easily abandoned"

thing to protect US.
Or maybe they really sold him a
bill Of goods that Communism is
going to help humanity. After all,
he was just a boy when he was
captured and he wouldn't know
how to argue with them! I know
one thing. Jack didn't 60 over to
the Communists for money or for
any personal gain.
Every night / ask God to help
me to understand if it was any,

from Jack if it could be a word
that would tell me why he did it.
Iguess there isn't much hope now.

Holds First Meeting

Twenty-Five representatives of

abled American Veterans. the
Veterans Of Foreign Wars. the
Amvets. the Army Navy Union,
the Military Order of the Purple
Heart, the Catholic War Vet
erans, the Jewish War Veterans
and the Irish War Veterans.
Elected chairman was Wal
dron E. Leonard, director of the
Veterans Service Center, 1850
Pennsylvania avenue NV.
The principal business last
night was the matter Of a new
veterans hospital here. It was
pointed out that, Mount Alto.
normally thought Of as such a
hospital, actually is a diagnosis
center to which veterans from
all over the country are referred
by other veterans hospitals.
In other business, the group
approved a resolution favoring
the continuation of the Soldiers
and Sailors home at Eighth
street and Pennsylvania avenue
Sc. The home is used primarily
by out-of-toWn servicemen or
veterans here on service busi-
ness. who intend to stay here
only a short time.
Opposition to the home in the
past has come from District
budget officials since, they say,
the home benefits persons not
living in the District an thus is
burden on local taxpayers.
