is beset with many dangers,
too, because of the ease with
which the cry of intervention

So the problem presented
not so long ago in Hungary
and even today in Tibet is
much the same as it used to
be. The underlying hostility
against relationships and
against the enslavement of
whole nations of people re-
mains in a world that is still
far from peaceful after two
world wars.
Maybe also Sir Winston
will soliloquize on the strange
vicissitudes of life. For on his
25th birthday. while a cor
respondent in the Boer War
in 1900. he wrote to a relative
in New York: There is so
much I want to do in the

his fathers frail health,
never thought he himself
would live to a ripe old age.

tionally disturbed because
they could not adjust to rou-
tine camp life. They lacked
the familiar surroundings Of
home and friends. They were
in the midst of many, but
they felt alone and insecure.
Thousands of them went to
pieces for no more reason
than this.
In all, e-quarters-of-a-
million young Americans
broke down while war was
under way. One and three
quarter millions were re-
jected for mental and emo
tional reasons. In short, one
out of every seven men in the
Army failed because of some
psychotic reason.
Researchers emphasized
that lack of an education was
the one consistent factor
found in studying the effec-
tiveness of soldiers,
There is reason to believe
that the shocking increase in
mentally disturbed peoples in
civilian life includes this fac
tor. The business of making
a living already requires
much more education than it
did a generation ago. There
are fewer and fewer jobs for
those who lack at least a
high school education. With
in a very few years a college
education or a highly skilled
training in technical opera
tions with the many fantastic
machines and computers will
be a necessity.

cry rates after war. The city
recruit was much less likely
to become unstable and de-
velop psychotic neuroses.
The value of education
strikingly is revealed. The
least educated, those with
only a few years of grade
school, had a breakdown rate
four times greater than that
of the high school and col
lege educated man.
There was another surprise,
The married soldier, not the
happy-go-lucky single man,
had a much higher rate of
effectiveness as a soldier. The
unmarried, and particularly
those who were divorced at
the time of entering the
Army, proved more subject to
crackup.
The researchers found that
psychiatry was a weak reed.
1t screened out the weakest,
but had no way of distin-
gushing the others. The hu-

as a complex being, emerges
the more so from this study.
Poor performance in civilian
life or in the Army is not the
result of any single factor.
Many things beat upon man.

Columbia Study Started by Eisenhower
Reveals Psychotic Toll in Army

In 1850 the president OF
Columbia University. DR..
Dwight D. Eisenhower, initi-
ated a study in human re-
sources. DR.. Eisenhower had
seen the great wartime losses
of manpower from unseen
and unknown enemies. These
were the crackups. They were
neither wounded nor she'll
shocked. Multiple thousands
were lost either by rejection
or inability to withstand the
stresses of routine military
life.
In initiating the study, the
then president of Columbia
University noted that this
country has but 6 per cent Of
the worlds population, We
cannot win a war or a peace
unless we do something about
conserving human resources.
The long exhaustive study
is now completed. 1t was a
cooperative task of research
involving the university. the
business community, the
foundations, the trade unions.
and the Federal Government.
The study is titled THE In
effective Soldier.
Some of the results are
surprising.
Only one in every five who
became emotionally disturbed
had ever seen combat. In
deed, three of every five who
became ineffective never got
overseas.
In every regard the farm
population showed up more
poorly than that of the city,
