THIS AND THAT
By CHARLES E. TRAcEWELL

Then the reader must
manage a book with one
hand. neither theoretically
nor practically the best way.
Two hands keep the thing in
balance, and out Of the eyes
of the next standee.
When Temp Jones noticed
the mans blue-clad book
with red edges, he mentally
congratulated him.
But what was the book?
There was not a sign Of a
title visible.
After watching the man for
several days Jones realized
that he would never find out
the title without asking him.
At this, Jones demurred.
There are some things you
just don't ask people, and an
outspoken demand for the
title. Of his book is one Of
them.

CooIs OFF Fast

This writer would like to
see an accomplishment of ut
most importance made by the
thoughtless. lovable and busy
people Of modern times. and
that is the proper regulation
Of air-conditioning in our
buildings, especially during
summer months. Some new
buses may be included.
The contrast Of going from
80 degrees suddenly to 90 de-
grees is too much for the
human system, although
young and tough people do
not think of it. There rs no
health authority on record
who can convince anyone
that it liz healthful, regard
less of how fast one Of the
young or tough persons might
want to cool of.

Appeal for Lebanon

Our Quaker representative
in Lebanon has cabled a plea
for additional funds for re-
lief feeding. A few weeks
ago the American Friends
Service Committee sent $1,000
for emergency use in both
rebel-held and government
territory. Lebanese and other
Friends are able to cross
religious and political lines
to meet urgent human needs.
Hunger has struck more
people in Lebanon than had
at first been realized. We
foresee the need of at least
$4,000 for supplementary
feeding during the next two
months.
Our help is going primarily
to families where the bread
winner has been killed or
wounded. For $40 we can
provide a family with a
months staples. Contribu-
tions may be sent to the
AFSC, 20 South Twelfth
street. Philadelphia 7. Pa.
Even after civil strife is
ended, the need will go on
as an aftermath of hostili-
ties that have so tragically
erupted. A prompt response
to the human need in Leb-
anon from the American
people may help assuage the
bitterness recent events have
provoked.
Will you share this appeal
with your readers in the
letters column?

Report on Soviet Vivisectionists
By THOMAS r. HENRY

OF It's head into the feeding
trough was hindered by
strong. sweeping movements
from side 10 aide.
ION the second day Il
found the trough In the en-
closure by itself and was taxi
ing meat just as Il had done
previous 10 the operation. Il
found the trough by itself
and ate the food which had
been left overnight. It's taste
was fully preserved after the
operation since II always
selected the meat from the
trough and only after that
did II eat the bread. II
gnawed bones willingly. hold
ing them down with its paws.
There was at times an ag-
RreSsive action towards pup
pies which approached its
trough. II did not lose weight
but even increased II con-
siderably.
"The behavior Of the adult
cats was the complete oppo-
site. For five 10 seven days
after the operation they did
not try 10 get up on their
paws. but rather crept from
place TO place. They erawled
about until they touched
some object beside which they
rapidly fell asleep. The sleep
was extremely deep and was
disturbed with difiiculty by
shaking the walls OF the cage.
The time awake did not ex-
coed one or two minutes.
Loss Of feeling for the
position Of the body in space,
however. was accompanied by
the same phenomena which
was observed in the dog the
day following the operation.
Jumping into the air, however.
was accompanied by a marked
aggressive reaction. They
howled loudly. barred their
claws and Kissed. Suisse
quently they did not show an
inclination to touch some OBJ
ject and could sleep peace
fully in g free space.
with a single exception
they did not eat independ-
emily and it was necessary to
feed them artificially. The
cat which ate Independently
a week after the operation
kept Its weight for the entire
SO days Of its life after ex-
clusion of the senses.
Cats Reaction Given
The cats never woke up
by themselves in order TO
eat, even If they had not been
fed for two days. It was
characteristic that during a
strong irritation which was
unpleasant for them the adult
cats never localized the irri-
tation. A cat would hiss furi-
ously, show its teeth, bare its
claws, and beat its tail but
never made an attempt 10
crawl away from the site Of
the irritation. There was a
loss of any feeling for clean
illness which lasted for two or
three weeks. During this time
the animals did not wash
themselves. did not lick their
coats and did not crawl away
from a wet place"
The difference between cats
and dogs deprived of their
senses, the experimenters be-
lieve. may be due to the evo-
lutionary history of the two
species.
In the United States there
have been various expert
ments with human beings on
the results of complete sem
sorry deprivation but this has
been achieved by such devices
as lightless and soundless
rooms.

Russian Psychologists are
experimenting with a weird
state OF death IN life.
They are severing sur
Rically the nerve pathways
Of sight. hearing. smell and
right-Side-upneSs In puppies
and cats. Thus a condition
Is created IN which the ami
mails are completely isolated.
They stay IN the world OF
the living but are not Of Il.
The experiments are de-
scribed by Drs. b. M. Klosov-
sky and f. N. Kosmarskaya
OF the department OF brain
development OF the Soviet
Academy Of Medical Science
IN the Russian Bulletin Of
Biology and Medicine.
The two kinds Of animals
react quite differently. The
puppies somehow adjust &C
lively TO their empty world.
The cats go into a deep sleep
from which II Is very DIM
cult TO arouse them and
which continues until they
die. Previous similar expert
ments with adult dogs are
cited. however, in which the
reaction was the same as
with the cats, so age and
the stage Of brain develop
ment may be a deciding
factor.
Adult Dog Tested
Klosovsky and Kosmar-
Skaya, however. performed
the operation on one adult
dog and found that 1t be-
haved much like the puppies.
In the dog. the psychologists
report. "there was noted an
alteration of periods of vary
ing duration Of being asleep
and awake. The total dura-
ton Of daytime sleep varied
within wide limits and did
not differ from the sleep Of
normal adult dogs.
During the time it was
awake. which could exceed
five hours in a day. the dog
walked a lot, stood on its
hind paws. and climbed out
of its enclosure over low
walls. When walking in a
room with a large amount of
furniture it stumbled over all
the objects it encountered.
Finding itself between things
or in a corner, it always left
the spot by moving back
wards.
ION the first day after the
operation it was observed
that the animal had lost the
feeling for the position of its
body in space. We attempted
to place it in the free area of
the enclosure where it did
not touch ANYTHING. It
jumped high in the air with
its paws placed wide apart.
landing hard with its whole
body. On the floor it threw
out its paws wide and
stretched with them until it
encountered some object.
after which it quieted down.
If the object was moved
away the jump and all the
phenomena following it were
repeated again. All this was
accompanied by pronounced
painting by the animal which
lay with mouth open and
tongue protruding.
"On the second day it was
already standing on half
twisted, widely separated
paws, but it did not walk. 1t
was able to stand without
touching anything. On the
third day it began to walk
about in the enclosure.

operation. The correct slope

In q court room recently
I overheard a lawyers re-
mark to the effect that he
would be able to impeach a
witness because he had EVIL
dence to prove that the Wit
ness had been under PSYCHE
atric care. His thinking was
not only cruel but unsclen-
tific.
1t would seem that If a
person is intelligent enough
to seek early treatment for
an emotional problem. society
looks upon him as inferior.
The public appears to have
the idea that before seeking
psychiatric help a person
must be almost to the stage
of climbing the wall" On
the other hand. the person
who is so emotionally sick
that he cannot recognize his
need for help is considered
normal by his associates. The
test seems to be that if a
person refuses to admit that
he needs help he is normal,
no matter how abnormal his
behavior.
Every advance in modern
psychiatry has led the ex-
perts to say that the first
problem in mental illness is
Tor the patient to seek early
treatment. 1t would seem in
our modern distorted think
ing we have placed a penalty
on anyone seeking help. Is it
any wonder that our mental
health problem continues to
grow?
The paradox in this mat
ter is that the person who
has the insight to seek early
help IN emotional problems
is. in most cases. not too i'll.
On the other hand, we see
about us examples Of people
who have had three or four
divorces in ten years, who
are unable to speak a sem
tence without profanity, who
practice continued promiscu-
ity, who clog the court dock
cts with paranoid cases. and
who cannot fulfill the basic
demands Of parenthood. We
further have well-educated
people who start drinking
before breakfast. others so
close to the borderline of
pSychosis that one drink re-
leases their pre-psychotic
personalities, bureaucratic
clerks who take three hours
for lunch and return intox-
icated. and others who are
absent from work months
out of every year with the
excuse Of physical illness
which their doctors know is
emotionally induced. Most
psychiatrists will state that
all of these are symptoms Of
serious emotional disorders.
Most of these people are so
sick they are past the point
of recognizing the fact that
they need treatment. Unless
they progress to the point
where they are obvious, they
will continue to be regarded
as normal. At the same time.
the person who was in much
better mental condition and
sought help is condemned
All the work Of the most
dedicated psychiatrists will
be of little value until this
medieval idea is eradicated
I believe that many physi-
clans win agree that a history
of some physical ailments
would reflect on the CREDIBLE
ity Of a witness much more
than a history Of psychiatric
treatment.
Before someone misunder-
stands my motive, / must add
that my Office does not offer
psychiatric treatment. I have
seen too many unfair cases
Of people having a history of
emotional treatment being
stigmatized by others who
are more drastically in need
Of the same treatment.
