Dear Dr. Zilboorg:

As I believe Miss Keiffer has informed
you by telephone, LIFE magazine is planning to
do a "closeup" -- i.e., a 4,000-word personality
sketch -- on yourself and your activities.

We can understand perfectly your
reluctance to cooperate in any undertaking which
might possibly be subject to misinterpretation
by the medical profession. On the other hand,
we feel equally strongly that LIFE magazine
must remain entirely free to select such
closeup subjects as it sees fit.

The question that arises, therefore,
is whether in the light of our decision to
write an article about you, you feel that in the
interests of accuracy, objectivity and the
general interest of yourself and your profession
it would be permissable for you to help us
assemble the information for the article.

Needless to say, the premise on which
we reached our decision to write a closeup about
you is that you are an extremely newsworthy, as
well as distinguished, leader in a newsworthy
and insufficiently documented field.

Needless to say also, we will be most
grateful if you can see fit to cooperate with us
to the extent of two or three conferences with
the author of the article.

Yours respectfully,

Noel F. Busch

Dear Mr. Busch:

Your letter of June 12, 1941, is acknowledged.

I was pleased to find you stating in your letter, "We can understand perfectly your relevance to cooperatives in any undertaking which might possibly be subject to misinterpretation by the medical profession." My unwillingness to cooperate with you is based not merely on this caution, but préarily on the fact that in any doctor's career, particularly when one is engaged in the practice of psychiatry and psychoanalysis, and article such as you contemplate might produce and undesirable effect on a number of sick people who are being treated or about to be treated by physicians engaged in this speciality. As a result, the appearance of an article such as you suggest would undoubtedly present a social disservice to a number of innocent people who are in need of help.

As far as assisting you in connection with the accuracy of your statements, may I point out that Section 31 of the Principles of Professional Conduct of the Medical Society of the State of New York, of which I am a member, reads in part:

"Section 31 (a) Physicians shall not make use of, or knowingly aid or permit others to make use of them as subjects of, any form or manner of advertising or publicity through lay channels, either alone or in connection with others, which shall be of such character as to invite attention to themselves or to their professional position, skill, qualifications, achievements, attainments, specialties, appointments, associations, affiliations, or honors and/or of such character as would ordinarily result in their self-aggrandizement."

I take notice of your saying, "On the either hand, we feel equally strongly that Life magazine must remain entirely free to select such closeup subjects as it sees fit." In finding it necessary to refuse to have anything to do with your preparation of a closeup, I do not wish to enroach upon your sense of freedom, but I felt it seemly to point out to you the inadvisability of such a closeup from the point of view of professional standards as well as from the point of view of not injuring many of those who are known as patients and whom I am sure you are also unwilling to hurt no matter how indirectly.

Editor of Life,

Dear Mr. Burch

In any doctor's career, particularly one engaged in
the field of psychology, there are frequently situations involving
the health, happiness and lives of others that might be seriously
disturbed by an article such as you contemplate. Accordingly I
should be most pleased were you to abandon any thought of printing
anything along the lines indicated. As I cannot prevent publica-
tion, however, I must warn you that you will be held to the
strictest accountability as to any statements which you may make
or any matter which may appear in the proposed article.

As far as assisting you in connection with the accuracy
of your statements, may I point out that Section 31 of the principles of professional conduct of the Medical Society of the State
of New York, of which I am a member, reads in part:

"Section 31 (a) Physicians shall not make use of, or knowingly aid or permit others to make use of them as subjects of, an form or manner of advertising or publicity through lay channels, either alone or in connection with others, which shall be of such character as to invite attention to themselves or to their professional position, skill, qualifications, achievements, attainments, specialties, appointments, associations, affiliations, or honors and/or of such character as would ordinarily result in their self-aggrandizement;"

From the above you will readily understand my unwilling-
to permit the publication of any article slanting me or
ness to be of any assistance whatsoever.

Yours very truly,

Mr. Noel F. Busch -2-

encroach upon your sense of freedom, but I felt it seemly to point out
to you the inadvisability of such a closeup from the point of view of
professional standards as well as from the point of view of not injuring
many of those who are known as patients and whom I am sure you are
also unwilling to hurt no matter how indirectly.

It is quite obvious that all I can do is to state to you my
professional position and the ramifications which the problem presents
including all the moral, social and legal responsibilities involved.
The appearance of any article about me would be misconstrued by many
of my brothers in the medical profession and the public and would result
in injury to my reputation. Also I must say to you that you will be held
to the strictest accountability as to any statement you may make or any
matter which might appear in the proposed article.

From the above you will readily understand my unwillingness to
be of any assistance to you whatsoever and my conviction that any article
about me would be inadvisable.

Yours very truly,

Sep. 14, 1941.

Dear Dr. Zilboorg:

I enclose a letter which is self-explanatory.
Beatrice Kaufman wrote to me and said it was too technical for PM.

I send the letter to Jeliffe of the Review and
he wrote back that the editors had agreed to stay out of politics.
If this were the real reason rather than mistakes in my analysis
of Lindbergh, it is a tragic reason. Politicians do not stay
out of medicine- and medicine in self-defense ought to meddle with
politicians especially those who seek to destroy it.

I can imagine in Germany there were analysts who
refused to make statements about Hitler- and Hitler outlawed their
profession anyhow.

I don't know whether you are too busy to listen to
Lindbergh but if you heard that infantile, querulous goice and the
answering hysteria it gets from the crowd your blood would run cold.

Lindbergh's speeches show a great advance in paranoia-
the American people are being persecuted by the British, the Jews
and the Roosevelt administration. I expect him soon to call for
pogroms and destruction of the Constitution which will make pogroms
possible.

I think men of good-will everywhere ought to do what they
can to destroy this fascist monster.

I think if an important medical man would brand Lindbergh as
a psychopath or an important magazine would publish an analytical
portrait of Lindbergh, his power to do harm would evaporate.

Can you help me in any way? If my portrait is too awkward,
can you strengthen it or correct it with a dditional notes or can
you write a new one.

Did you see Ernest Jones article on 'Quislingism in the
International Review for January '41, I believe. He says some of
the things generally about Quislings that I say specifically about
Lindbergh.

I have been reading a lot of analysis lately in connection
with a play I want to do. I write to you because I find your articles
among the most original and stimulating I have read.

Yours,

Dear Mr. Ingersoll:

I have been a reader of PM since its birth
and have naturally been sympathetic with your efforts to see the
truth whole and tell it whole. Your refusal to take advertising,
your stories about labor, your stories exposing economic forces
behind fascism are all proof of this.

The truth as you have seen it and told it so
far has been profound economically but in many cases superficial
psychologically. We all know a news story varies with the perso-
nality and interest of who tells it. The same event described
by The New York Times and The Daily Worker becomes two different
events.

You have been a trail-blazer in American journalism.
I propose you blaze another trail. Publish weekly psychoanalytic
portraits of important personalities in the news-daily if it
can be managed.

People are not only what they say they are or what you and
I may say they are- they are also things which none of us except
trained psychoanalysts understand.

Reuben Osborn in his unappreciated book which I consider
a very important book, Freud and Marx, tells from the Communist
angle how important it is for Communists to understand the uncon-
scious drives of people. Osborn points out how successful the
fascists have been in this. Why should not advocates of pure
democracy avail themselves of psychoanalytic findings? For
example, you have said that Lindberg is a fascist. You show his
friends. You point but his tie-ups with Hitler, Ford, and the
America First Committee. You show how what he says coincides
with the Berlin line of reasoning. But you make no attempt to
show WHAT makes Lindberg operate the way he does. I think if
you can show your public not only HOW public figures operate
but WHY they operate the way they do, you will accomplish a
great job for humanity.

I am not a professional psychoanalyst. I am a playwright
and scenario writer. I wrote Dr. Ehrlich's Magic Bullet. And as
a writer I necessarily deal with character and character motiva-
tion. I have worked out a tentative pattern showing why Lindberg
acts the way he does- for the sake of a character in a play I
am working on. Perhaps you can get a professional psychoanalyst
to check on my findings. If they are accurate, you can publish
a sensational journalistic scoop, destroy the greatest American
fascist and start a new era in journalism.

It is an established fact of human experience and psycho-
analysis that many actions of people in adult life are motivated
by experiences in infancy and childhood. The relationship of a
son to his father and mother will determine his relationship to
the rest of the world. This is known as the Oedipous complex.

-2-

The child loves his mother and wants to kill his father but early helplessness and training prevent him from accomplishing these acts. The desires are sublimated sometimes- forgotten other times- but they will come out in some way or other sooner or later. No emotion is lost just as no matter is destroyed.

Some sons actually kill their fathers- we have the crime of patricide. Some sons kill their father-substitutes- we have the crime of murder. Other sons obedient to their fathers follow in their fathers' footsteps. Other sons rebel and take up an entirely different profession than their fathers- they will do anything but follow in their fathers' footsteps. They can give no reason for this. And they would be horrified if they were told it is because of a repressed infantile desire to kill their fathers.

The storm and stress of childhood will be sublimated beautifully in some men. Ibsen's Peer Gynt as Stekel points out sublimates the struggle Ibsen and his father had with the people of Norway, Ibsen's homeland or fatherland. "Ibsen, " Stekel tells, "was the son of a rich father who squandered his fortune and left his family in poverty, as is depicted in the antecedents of Peer Gynt. Both had to flee from the anger of their compatriots. ( Ibsen's early play, Comedy of Love, aroused a storm of indignation in Norway and forced him to leave his native country. Peer Gynt was written in Rome far from the fatherland.) Peer Gynt reads like a wonderful prophecy of the poet, suffering from homesickness in a foreign land. Solveig is the symbol for Norway, for his home. Even far away her song is always ringing in his ears. No man is a prophet in his own country. In the south, the poet ( Peer Gynt) becomes a prophet; in the south and in a foreign country he is rewarded and finds recognition, so that when tired and repentant he returns to his native land, she receives him like a patient mother who has waited long for her son, in a kindly, loving and forgiving spirit. Therefore in the last scene the beloved Solveig becomes the mother..... All of Ibsen's desires were concentrated on becoming famous in his native land and gaining the love of his compatriots...The longing after the 'great historic mission' is gloriously fulfilled in the poet Ibsen.......In order that a creating, destroying, building-up genius may arise, a thousand useless sacrifices must be made and countless neurotics cast aside before the perfect masterpiece appears."

Stekel's comments on Ibsen plus my own amateur knowledge of Freud's psychoanalysis (Freud was infinitely wiser than Stekel), plus my knowledge of a few of the facts in Lindberg's life tell me to describe Lindberg as follows.

Lindberg's father was a great liberal with socialist ideas. He opposed World War I as an imperialist war. He hated the Morgans and other rich bankers whom he considered responsible for the war. Lindberg Senior was called a German-lover. The community hated him as the community hated Ibsen and Ibsen's father. Lindberg as his father's son felt the weight of community's corn and hatred. Lindberg wanted community love as Ibsen wanted community love. Lindberg was not a writer or thinker. But he became a supreme mechanic and flier. He won the community affection which had been denied him as his father's son in 1917-18. Ten years after America had spit on Lindberg's father Lindberg became the idol of America. In Lindberg's adolescent mind in 1917, Germany was very much

-3-

involved. Although his father was not a German-lover but an imperialist war-hater, Lindberg thought of his father as a German-lover because the community said so. Lindberg therefore had an extraordinary interest in Germany forced on him by the community. To him Germany was the country which according to the community his father defended. Lindberg defensively became a German-lover which adolescents and adults had accused him and his father of being. Even when a German killed his son, Lindberg could not become angry with Germany. Lindberg ostensibly had been conditioned to love Germany and nothing would deter him. Lindberg's present political line which he says will defend America helps Germany-the country which his father had been accused of defending. Lindberg helped the Cliveden set smash collective security which threatened Nazi Germany. Lindberg recently announced he favored fascist Germany over socialist Russia.

Lindberg's every action shows that he loves Germany. But does he love Germany because he and his father were called German-lovers when Lindberg was about eighteen years old? This is a superficial reason. In psychoanalysis we find that the Oedipous complex explains many otherwise inexplicable actions. We know that the death-wish a child has for its father can come out at any time in life and can condition the entire life.

Lindberg loves Germany not because his father loved Germany. Lindberg's father loved America. His father was a great American in the tradition of Tom Paine, Jefferson and John Brown. Lindberg's father fought to implement American political democracy with economic democracy. Lindberg's father had socialist ideas- that's why he opposed imperialist war. Lindberg's father hated the house of Morgan as the belwether of the banking-industrial oligarchy. Lindberg's father opposed the last war not because he loved Germany but because he hated to see the oligarchy grow rich at the expense of his America. Lindberg's father in present day Germany would be in a concentration camp for his ideas and probably would be executed. Lindberg knows all this. Lindberg loves present day Germany because deep in his unconscious Lindberg hates his father. Lindberg has in him that infantile wish to kill his father and everything his father stood for. His father stood for a fully democratic America. Lindberg stands for fascist Germany which has the power with Lindberg's help to kill the America Lindberg Senior stood for. Lindberg can substitutively kill his father by killing the America identified with his father.

One of the most important things Lindberg did in his life shows his deep-seated hatred for his father. Lindberg had the choice of millions of girls after his epic flight. He chose a girl linked with the bankers Lindberg Senior thought most responsible for an undemocratic America. By marrying a daughter of the house of Morgan Lindberg showed his defiance of his father.

Many of these things Lindberg may be unconscious of. But we know through psychoanalysis that the things a person does do not happen accidentally-but by design, conscious or unconscious.

But Lindberg today says he is only doing what his father did in 1917. All neurotics rationalize. It is obvious there is no comparison between the Germany of 1917 and the Germany of today-only a

-4-

superficial comparison in the mind of a neurotic. The Germany
of 1917 was a liberal, bourgeois state in which the Socialist
party had legal rights. Lindberg's father was socialist in
thought. Lindberg's thought is diametrically opposed- fascist,
in fact. Lindberg while pretending to follow in his father's
footsteps is out to destroy everything his father stood for.
Only through an understanding of the Oedipous complex can we
interpret Lindberg's actions. Lindberg as a small child was
prevented by his father from loving his mother. And Lindberg as
a child wanted to kill his father. The death-wish was repressed.
Now it comes out. Lindberg cannot kill his father. His father
is dead. But if he can kill the fatherland, the democratic
America his father fought so desperately for, he can revenge
himself on his father. If it be argued that Lindberg is notorious-
ly unfond of his mother- I remind you how abnormal it is for a
son to hate his mother- and I point out the psychoanalytical truth
of the ambivalence of love and hate- and symbolical meaning of
Lindberg's abnormal dislike of his mother- the opposite of a thing
frequently stands for the thing itself.

Mussolini is another man who has done everything to destroy
what his father stood for. Mussolini's father was a leading
socialist. Mussolini's most characteristic action was destruc-
tion of the socialist party and the killing of many of his father's
friends and party members. This, too, can be traced to Mussolini's
infantile desire to kill his father for separating him from his
mother.

Enough for the moment about the inner springs of Lindberg's
conduct. How about the mass appeal which he has? One curious
thing which may explain part of his mass following. Three of my
acquaintances who revere Lindberg are women. Two of them are
separated from their husbands. One is an old maid. Lindberg is
the supreme aviator. A commonplace of dream symbolism is the bird,
the balloon, the flier, flying- the equivalent of the male organ
in self-levitation. It is obvious why the supreme flier or supreme
prick would appeal to sex-starved women. A warning to democrats
might be- dont leave any sex-starved women lying around.

In the same way symbolically Lindberg would appeal to frus-
trated homosexuals of whom there are more than is generally rea-
lized. The homosexuality of fascism generally should be noted
here.

But there are other groups to whom Lindberg appeals. The big
rich with fascist sympathies irrespective of their sexual makeup
gravitate toward a fascist leader. ( The big rich are usually
anally erotic. It is obvious what Lindberg's appeal would be for
them. )

The psychoanalysts have shown that to primitive man the hero
was the son who rebelled against his father and killed him.
There are undoubtedly many among Lindberg's followers who sense
in their unconscious the real relation of Lindberg to his father
and admire him for it. They want to destroy their fathers and
their fatherland and they recognize a destroying-leader instinctively.

Also there are many who have no genuine religious belief and
who have no intelligent approach to the problems of this world.
They do not recognize God, the Father, nor Christ, the Son. They
have no intelligent understanding of contemporary events. They are
bewildered. They yearn to return to childhood where the great man,

-5-
as their father appeared to them, can protect them. But their
fathers are dead or obviously are not "great men." So they turn
to the father-substitute, the great man in the public eye- and
there are so few heroes they can recognize because of their own
limitations they accept the first shoddy one that comes along.

-I do not know whether the above analysis is one hundred
per cent accurate- but I feel there is a lot of truth in it.
If you could publish something like it, you would help the
American people understand why Lindberg does the things he does-
you might help Lindberg to understand himself.

I paraphrase Reuben Osborn when I say, "The curriculum of a democrat should include as of first importance a study of the unconscious mind, if he wishes to bring his actions into line with reality, to recognize unconscious mechanisms at work in others, to prevent complexes of his own rather than the facts of the objective situation determine his behaviour."

I freely paraphrase Osborn when I say, "a truly democratic
newspaper apart from two-dimensional reporting of news and perso-
nalities ought to try and recognize unconscious mechanisms at
work in those personalities, report those unconscious mechanisms,
so that people will know better how to understand them, how to
defend themselves and their democracy if those unconscious
mechanisms and the personalities they motivate seek to destroy
democrats and democracy."

Yours,

P.S. I offer my publishing suggestion gratis-thought I might
like to work on the development of it. My analysis of Lindberg,
whether accurate or not, I will have to sell to you- newspaper
serial rights- because I want to protect the dramatic rights. I
intend using the Mussolini-Lindberg character in my play.

Re: Paul Cadman

My dear Dr. Zilboorg:

At the same time that I received your wire, I also got one from Mr. Cadman advising me that he had consulted Dr. Hart and asking me to have Dr. Kerr recommend you to Dr. Hart. This was on June 23. Dr. Kerr was at the time driving north and could not be reached for five days. I therefore wired Dr. Hart myself (copy enclosed) and waited for news from him or Mr. Cadman, before sending you a report. The news has just arrived and I'm happy to learn that you are taking care of Mr. Cadman at last.

No doubt a report from me at this late date is superfluous, but I shall risk telling you what you already know and give you my impressions for whatever they may be worth. I now know that you must have received a clinical report from Dr. Hart, who was given a résumé along with electro-cardiograms by Dr. Kerr's office.

My only regret is that Mr. Cadman allowed his business and desire for a miracle to postpone his consulting you.

Confidential Report on P.F.C.

I have known Mr. C. and many of his closest friends for
over ten years. He is regarded highly by most persons, idolized
by some as a great spiritual leader, and cordially detested by
a few. He has held positions of great trust here in California,
but his present one in New York represents the peak of his
career. Shortly after Mr. C. left California for New York,
about a year ago, his only brother Charles died suddenly in
an attack of angina pectoris. It was not many weeks later
that Mr. C. began to have precordial pain.

The first attack, which was in October, I believe,
occurred while Mr. C. was walking home from a meeting with a
young woman who has acted as his private secretary for several
years. Miss X had been a student of Mr. C.'s at U.C., and,
when fully trained by him, was admittedly his "alter ego,"
intellectually speaking. But, meanwhile, Miss X fell in
love with Mr. C. This was at first looked upon by Mr. C.
as a father-daughter relationship. About a year ago, however,
it developed into something more. The physical expression
of the relationship was modified by Mr. C.'s impotence,
which developed specifically in the presence of Miss X. Up to
this time Mr. C. had never attempted any extra-marital
activities.

Following the first attack of angina there were several
mild ones, but the most severe occurred in S. F. one night
last December, when Mr. C. arrived by airplane to fulfil a
speaking engagement. It was because of this episode that

2

Mr. C. was hospitalized for possible coronary occlusion. After five weeks in bed, Mr. C. had his second severe attack. This mystified the attending doctors, who had been ultra-conservative in their treatment, and were already doubting the diagnosis because of normal physical findings and electrocardiograms. But Mr. C. knew the cause and later confessed it to me, viz.: Miss X, still in New York and believing Mr. C. dying, could stand the suspense no longer; so she telephoned Mrs. C., confessed her love, and insisted upon rushing to the bedside of the patient. When Mrs. C. reported this to Mr. C. he had his second severe attack on the spot.

After seven weeks of absolute bed-rest, Mr. C. was allowed to get up, and was advised to avoid emotional as well as physical strain. It was at this point, January 9, 1941, that I was called in. I found Mr. C. weak and fearful. The slightest exertion caused palpitation and precordial discomfort. He was leaning heavily on nitrites and a very affectionate as well as competent nurse. He was quite conscious of an emotional problem, and expressed it at once as resentment towards his wife because of her sterility. A number of other resentments soon appeared: towards father for desertion of mother when pt. was still a child; towards evangelical teachings, specifically the Salvation Army, to which the parents belonged; towards pts. various dependents, especially the father's second wife, for whom the father deserted pts. mother.

3

Mr. C. apparently benefitted from expressing some of his pent-up emotion, became symptom-free in about a week's time, and persuaded his doctors to allow him to return to New York. It was then I strongly recommended you to carry on, to which both Mr. C. and Drs. Hoyt and Kerr agreed.

Before he left, however, Mr. C. discussed his childhood, marriage, and education. He was full of misgivings on all three scores. I had definite impressions that (1) hatred of his father was the most important single factor in his illness; (2) his marriage had deteriorated because of his blaming his wife for their childless state, in the face of his yearning for fatherhood; and (3) he was extremely fearful of failure in his New York position, as well as feeling guilty because of long absence due to illness.

This last was borne out later when Mr. C. returned to New York and resumed his duties. He wrote me that his symptoms had returned, and he wondered whether he shouldn't pack up and live in a trailer for a couple of years. By this time, too, he had discovered that Miss X was in love with someone else.

During a speaking tour in May, Mr. C. spent a week-end in Berkeley. Again he became symptom-free, following the few talks we had, mainly on the subject of his work. He was quite conscious of a desire to get away from it all, and traced his feeling of insecurity back through similar situations to his desertion by his father. He also tried to re-orient

Mr. H. Donald Campbell,
President, The Chase National Bank,
10 Pine Street,
New York City.

Dear Mr. Campbell:

Mr. Black has, I am sure, kept you in touch with the general course of Mr. Andersen's progress. This is to report to you briefly on the present status of the case and on the plans which it is hoped will be carried out to a successful issue.

Mr. Andersen is leaving the Neurological Institute to-day, and will stay at his home for the next two months or so, after which time it is hopefully expected that he will be able safely to return to work. During this period he will be under the direct supervision of a trained psychiatric male nurse, coming to see me every day and following a definite psychological and physical routine. After his return to work Mr. Andersen plans to, and most probably will, continue to be treated and supervised by me. He is fully aware - now more than ever before - of the dangers inherent in his trouble. He is more deeply impressed now than he ever has been with the difficulties he made for himself and the awkwardness of the situation in relation to the bank. As a matter of fact, his loyalty to the bank is solid and unwavering, and this is one of the important stimuli in his will to get well. All this is to the good, of course, but I would not like to convey the impression that the road to recovery is absolutely clear and that it should all be taken with unqualified optimism.

What I want to say in brief is this: There is a good chance that we shall be successful in our endeavours, and every effort at the disposal of psychiatric knowledge will be made to achieve our end. Mr. Andersen apparently is really in earnest and ready to co-operate.

The enclosed bill covers the period from December 4 through to-day when Mr. Andersen leaves the Neurological Institute. After to-day it is healthier and wiser that he assume personal responsibility for his treatment by me, and for this reason I shall not henceforth consider the bank concerned in the financial aspects of the matter.

Please feel free, however, to call on me for any report on the case whenever you wish. Mr. Black, whom I found extremely intelligent and responsive to the psychological problem, will continue to be in close touch with the situation. He has been not only cooperative, but a very stabilizing influence in the whole series of events.

With kind remembrances and best wishes for the New Year, I remain.

My stay there as you know was entirely too short and I did not have the opportunity to call on you and to shake hands with you. I hope to be able to make amends if and when I come to Brazil again, and in the meantime should you happen to come to New York please let me know. I shall be most happy to be of any help to you that I am able.

Dear Mr. Caruso:

I have just heard from the hospital about your brother Frank. I understand very well your concern, but in my opinion, you should not consider removing him from the hospital. He is well taken care of. It may not appear to an outsider, especially a brother, that he is getting all the necessary attention, but you must remember that he is a very sick man, that he has been ill for many years and that it is highly doubtful whether he will ever be well again, and that he should stay in a mental hospital.

I am very sorry indeed that I am unable to give you greater encouragement. We must learn to face these sad things.

Dr. Reznikoff referred to me your letter concerning the
case of Frank Caruso.

This man was admitted to this institution on Aug. 8-1938
and has remained here continuously ever since. We diagnosed him as
suffering from Schizophrenia, Paranoid Type. The history shows that
this man first developed ideas of persecution about two years previous
to his admission to this institution and during his entire residence
here this feature of his case has been definitely active. It is my
opinion that the prognosis of his mental disease is unfavorable.

One of the sisters of this patient on her visits here
in the past, came into the office frequently and said that she did not
think that Frank's physical condition was satisfactory. In view of
these observations we had our patient's physical condition checked
frequently and could find nothing to indicate that he had a serious
physical ailment. Early in November the sister said he was complaining
of a cold. We had the case re-checked and found that he had a temper-
ature of 102 deg. He was put in bed under observation and an X-ray
of the chest was taken. The findings indicated that he had an involve-
ment of the upper lobe of the left lung. This hyperpyrexia has continued,
running from about 100 deg. to 104 deg. The signs of auscultation are
not convincing at the present time, but in view of this patient's
clinical findings, we are convinced that he is suffering from pulmonary
tuberculosis and are treating him accordingly, with isolation, bed rest
and supportive treatments.

This man has a sister who is also a patient here. Her
name is Anna Caruso and she was admitted on October 30-1933, peroled
December 23-1934 and discharged at the termination of the parole period,
on December 23-1935. She was readmitted to this institution on
June 10-1938 and has remained here continuously ever since. The
diagnosis in her case is Schizophrenia, Hebephrenic Type. At present
there are signs of mental deterioration. She is a heavy, obese
individual, suffering from hypertension.

Trusting this information will be of value to you
and assuring you that we will do everything in our power to help in
these unfavorable situations, I am

Dear Dr. Zilboorg:

Some time ago we sold a $500 Northern Pacific 4% bond due 1997 from the account for which you, Dr. Lewin and Dr. Shoenfeld are acting as Trustees.

It now appears that this bond has a German stamp and as such it is not a good delivery. To correct this, we must obtain a certain form or license from the Federal Reserve Bank.

To obtain this form we must certify to certain facts as to its ownership and, among other things, that each of the Trustees is and was a citizen of the United States on April 8, 1940.

Will you please write us at your earliest convenience, advising of your citizenship now and as of the date above mentioned and we can then secure the necessary release.

CIVIC PROGRAM 1941-1942

The civic activity of the Club for the coming year will fall under
six headings: national defense; civic committees; City Club legisla-
tion; legislative items of special interest; special studies; club lunch-
eons.

National Defense

During the last war the City Club made a notable contribution in
the war emergency and the Club will continue to render service in the
present crisis. In the Club's lounge members may see three certificates
of award, made to the Club in 1917, for its contribution of three units
consisting of twenty-eight fully equipped ambulances. Five of the
twenty-three ambulance drivers, members of the Club, operating these
ambulances, were awarded the Croix de Guerre.

Once again, as in 1917, by action of the Board of Trustees, the
City Club is remitting the dues of any member who enters active
service with the armed forces. At this time, plans are being laid for
cooperation by the City Club with the local Civilian Defense Volunteer
Office. Civilian defense has two tasks: first, to prepare local communi-
ties for whatever dangers may be ahead in the event of war; second, to
better the health, economic security and well being of our people. The
Office of Civilian Defense has recently published a list of suggested
activities for volunteer service. A special committee is being appointed
to study the proposals and to select certain services which the Club is
in a position to render.

Civic Committees

The civic activity of the membership is conducted through its
voluntary civic committees. The Club's committees have made impor-
tant contributions during the current year. A number of valuable
studies have been prepared containing proposals which will form an
important part of the Club's legislative program this season. Those
interested in participating in the civic work of the Club are urged
to communicate with Cyrus C. Perry, the Club's Counsel.

2

THE CITY CLUB OF NEW YORK

The program of the civic committees as approved by the committee chairmen is as follows:

**City Administration**, John W. A. Kelley, Chairman. The primary function of the City Administration Committee is to examine administrative matters in the day-to-day operation of the city government. During the coming year particular attention will be given to the administrative phases of public relief, civil service and education. Such members of the committee as volunteer to do so, will be asked to keep a check on the calendars of the City Council and the Board of Estimate and report on important matters to the committee.

**City Plan**, Electus D. Litchfield, Chairman. The committee examines the calendars of the City Planning Commission and prepares reports on items of interest to the City Club. In support of action taken by the Club, briefs are prepared and the committee is represented at public hearings of the Planning Commission.

**Courts Committee**, Louis S. Lewis, Chairman. Two major items on the committee's legislative program will be the enactment of a more adequate method for removal of judges and reform of mortgage foreclosure practice. A special study will be undertaken on the advisability of establishing a labor court to settle labor union disputes. The committee also contemplates a study of practice and procedure in the municipal courts and will examine into the operation of the state and municipal parole system.

**Crime Prevention**, Edward L. Richards, Chairman. The Crime Prevention Committee will study the problems presented by the present handling of "re Repeaters" in New York City detention prisons, especially those involving vagrancy and disorderly conduct. It will also continue its study of conditions in these prisons as they affect the 16 to 21-year old group while being held for trial. Dinner meetings will be held at which experts in these fields will be present.

**Housing Committee**, George A. Boehm, Chairman. The committee will study two vital problems of paramount importance in the housing field: housing for defense, and after-the-emergency housing. In the course of this study the committee will conduct an educational program by means of meetings addressed by qualified persons in these fields.

**Legislation**, Walter M. Weis, Chairman. This year the activity of the Legislation Committee will again include action on a selected list of proposals before the state legislature. The committee will concentrate on legislation of special interest to the inhabitants of the city and to the Club, particularly in those fields where the committee's activity has the greatest promise of achieving results. Briefs will be submitted and appearances made before state legislative committees.

**Public Health**, Shirley W. Wynne, M.D., Chairman. The committee will reconsider the need for increasing public aid to private hospitals in the light of legislation enacted at the last session of the legislature. The committee will renew its efforts to reduce unnecessary noise in the city and inquire into the destructive health and

economic effects of the smoke problem. An important item on the committee's legislative program will be an effort to reduce the menace of rabies in the city. A report on this subject has been drafted by the committee and will be published this year.

**Taxation and Finance**, Thomas H. Reed, Chairman. The committee will devote its attention to a survey of municipal finance in New York City. After an examination into the general problem, meetings will be held on the following specific topics: the budget, its character and preparation; the capital budget; debt administration; purchasing; assessing techniques; municipal expenditures. During the course of the year topics of current interest arising out of committee discussion will be assigned to members for special study.

**Traffic & Streets**, C. B. Veal, Chairman. The committee will continue to cooperate with public and private agencies in developing improvements in regulations and methods of enforcement in street traffic, including parking. A subcommittee, which has been working during the summer, will report on proposals looking to improved methods of handling traffic offenders in the courts. On its legislative program the committee will endeavor to secure the enactment of legislation regulating neon signs. The Club's proposal on this item is now pending before the City Council.

## City Club Legislation

The City Club will endeavor to have introduced in the local or state legislatures a number of proposals prepared and initiated by the Club, several of which have been introduced in the past. These proposals will cover the following:

1. Revision and equalization of court clerks' salaries.

2. Removal of judges.

3. Municipal aid to private hospitals.

4. Provision for improved methods of handling traffic of-fenders.

5. Regulation of neon signs. (Proposal is now pending in the City Council.)

6. A deposit system for independent nominations.

7. Constitutional amendment which would allow a New York City resident to move from one county to another within four months of election day without loss of vote.

8. Constitutional amendment in aid of community planning.

## Legislative Items of Special Interest

In addition to the City Club proposals enumerated above, special attention will be given to the following subjects upon which legislation will probably be introduced:

1. Reduction of mortgage foreclosure costs and revision of procedure.

2. Proposals to revise the election law.

3. Legislation to permit a constitutional amendment by petition and popular vote.

THE CITY CLUB OF NEW YORK

THE CITY CLUB OF NEW YORK

4. Legislation affecting national defense.

5. Proposals affecting civil liberties.

6. Reapportionment.

7. Proposals affecting blue ribbon juries.

8. Recurring proposals to undermine the merit system.

## Special Studies

During the course of the year, items of special interest are developed in committees, and volunteers are assigned to prepare special studies within the areas of their background and experience. Preliminary work on four special studies has been completed and it is planned to issue these reports in pamphlet form.

1. Revision and equalization of court clerks' salaries.
(Legislation Committee)

2. Improved methods of handling traffic offenders.
(Traffic and Streets Committee)

3. The menace of rabies in New York City.
(Public Health Committee)

4. Public aid to private hospitals.
(Taxation & Finance Committee).

It is also proposed that a special study be made of labor relations in the field of public employment.

## CLUB LUNCHEONS

The Club will continue to sponsor Club Luncheons, some of which will be held jointly with the Women's City Club, at which speakers will address members on current affairs and important civic topics. Officials in the municipal government will address luncheon and dinner meetings of the civic committees.

## DINING ROOM

The House Committee, as a result of recent alterations, has received many favorable comments on the attractive appearance of the dining room. It is gratifying to report that regular attendance has increased beyond expectations. Our enlarged dining room staff is maintaining the standard of service for which the Club is noted. As always, the same high quality of food is being served at reasonable prices. May we suggest that you make it the place of your next business or social engagement! The Club is open for luncheon Monday through Saturday from 11:30 A.M. to 2:00 P.M., and for dinner Monday through Friday from 6:00 to 8:30 P.M. Increasing demand for special luncheons and dinners in the private rooms makes it advisable for members to arrange for reservations well in advance.

## BAR AND COCKTAIL LOUNGE

The best liquors and finest cocktails, inexpensively priced and served in pleasant surroundings, make the bar a good meeting place at any hour for you and your friends. Drop in any afternoon or evening for a cocktail and a glance at the latest newspapers or magazines.

SAKEL, MANFRED (såk'ël) June 6, 1906-
Psychiatrist

Address: Murray Hill Hotel, 112 Park Ave,
New York City

Dr. Manfred Sakel is the discoverer of "the greatest advance yet made in treating schizophrenia." In 1928, in Vienna, he was working with morphine addicts just taken off their drug. He noted symptoms of high excitement, frenzy, mania and even brief insanity and from them developed a theory: that some physical or bodily change is suffered by the addict, as well as a mental change; that the cells of the brain attract to themselves more than usual quantities of exciting substances from the body's glands. Dr. Sakel decided to use insulin to pacify the drug addicts' excited nerve cells.

"The patients complained less and recovered more rapidly," he says. "The minds of these patients seemed to grow clearer." Then one day "I inadvertently gave a morphine patient an overdose of insulin." The man got insulin shock with convulsions and a coma, and to bring him out of the coma Dr. Sakel used glucose. "I was amazed at the result," he writes. "The patient's mind, until then completely befogged, was absolutely clear."

"This gave me an idea—to produce this effect in schizophrenics." Schizophrenics are people who suffer from a split personality, who live in a world of complete unreality, thinking themselves Napoleon or Cleopatra or haunted by visions of dire persecution. After several treatments these patients became more lucid and began to take an interest in their surroundings, and, of the first group Dr. Sakel treated, 17 per cent became well enough to return to their homes or jobs.

After working for five years Dr. Sakel announced his insulin shock cure before the Vienna Medical Society on November 3, 1933. The psychiatric world at first found the reports incredible, but later, specialists came from all over the world to see the technique and its results for themselves. The method spread, and a high percentage of recoveries confirmed Dr. Sakel's own results. Of course the treatment is recognized to be dangerous, but Dr. Sakel feels that "when we consider that patients ... are generally looked on as lost, or very seriously ill in any case, I think there is justification for attempting a therapy, however dangerous, which gives some promise of success."

Probably Dr. Sakel's most famous patient is Vaslav Nijinsky, the famous ballet dancer who was stricken with schizophrenia. Through Dr. Sakel's shock treatments Nijinsky was able for the first time to leave the sanitarium where he had been confined since 1919. When Dr. Sakel, who with professional reticence re-

Blackstone

MANFRED SAKEL

fuses to discuss the chances of Nijinsky's recovery, came to America, Mme. Nijinsky tried to get an American visa for herself and Nijinsky in order to follow him and continue the cure. It was refused, although the final disposition of the case as yet has not been made.

Dr. Sakel, who is still in his early 30's, was born in Nadworna, Austria, the son of Major S. and Golde S. Sakel. After attending the Gymnasium he spent four years at Bruenn College in Moravia (Austria) and left it in 1920 to enroll in the University of Vienna Medical School, where he stayed five years. In 1927 he was made head of the Hospital Lichterfelde, Berlin; later he became head of the Park Hospital in Vienna; and in 1933 research associate of the psychiatric clinic of the University of Vienna. In 1937 Dr. Sakel came to America, where he has been active as consultant and lecturer.

When he can get away from patients and research, bachelor Dr. Sakel goes hiking and mountain climbing. He likes fishing, too.

Told him you did not grant that kind of interview, and he said he fully appreciated the ethics of the medical profession, but that unless you would see him he would just have to write the article anyway, that he wanted to see someone who knew more about you that he himself did, and he thought you would be the best person. He was very courteous and polite about the whole thing.

I asked him where it would appear, in the daily News or the Sunday edition. He replied that that depends upon how much he gets, if there were enough it would be a Sunday article, if not, daily. I asked him then, "Oh, is Dr. Zilboorg news?" Answer was simple, amused, "Oh, yes, very much so." I asked him how soon he intended to have the article printed: "As soon as possible."

Helen Parkhurst,
Headmistress.

January 29, 1941

Dear Miss Parkhurst:

I have been feeling a growing concern about Gregory's state of
mind with regard to school. He is obviously unhappy. Last year it was
impressive to watch in him an increasing sense of responsibility and Spartan
manliness. When hurt, for instance, he would wince but try to control even
the wincing, not only the tears. This year he again became too sensitive,
easily hurt, easily brought to tears. All this seems to be in some way
connected with his afternoon group activities. Early in the academic year
he complained to me about the afternoon coach, or teacher, whom they call
Chris, or Mr. Christopher. I took his complaints rather lightly -- as an
expression of an initial dislike for the man. However, the difficulties
seem to increase and while quite naturally I cannot be in possession of all
the facts, I do seem to have gathered a sufficient number of data which lead
me to believe that Gregory is not entirely wrong.

This coach, or teacher, is apparently not very careful about the
language he uses and his English, on occasion, does seem to have been rough
and inelegant enough to be offensive to the boy. Moreover, the other boys
appear to have developed a trend of "ganging up" on Gregory with increasing
tendencies to torment him. The coach apparently does not have the initiative
or the good will to do anything constructive about this. The impression
gained is that he passively propitiates this type of behavior. This of
course is hardly conducive to the development of a spirit of corporate fair-
ness and equity. It plays have with the trends towards socialization which
Gregory needs to have supported rather than thwarted.

I understand that complaints of various kinds have been made against
this coach from other quarters, and I also understand that some weeks ago
all this came to the attention of some on the school staff. I watched the
situation from a distance without much concern because I have complete faith
in the intelligence and good will of the school's leadership and am not
inclined to overlook the many administrative difficulties it has to meet in
the business of individualizing education. I therefore looked for definite
signs of improvement in the situation. Unfortunately, things have evidently
become worse and Gregory seems to be close to a certain degree of disorganiza-
tion which is more and more difficult for him and others in school and at home.

I am writing to you in the hope that you will look into the matter
and let me know your opinion. I doubt whether we disagree on the principle

Miss Parkhurst - 2 -

involved; or course, Gregory should be made to face his social difficulties
squarely and develop a sense of self-reliant appraisal of his relations to
the group. To permit him to eschew those responsibilities is to do him harm.
On the other hand, the moral authority of a teacher should be carefully
balanced and used in such situations, and at no time should this authority
disappoint a boy's instinct for fair play and objectivity.

Yours very sincerely,

I am in serious trouble. No wonder you couldn't find my
paper in your files, for I never wrote it. However, I have a
brief shorthand record of it and shall be glad to reconstruct
it at the earliest opportunity.

I expect to have a meeting of the Committee on the History of Psychiatry soon. I shall let you know.

In the meantime, accept my best regards.

As ever,

P. S. I have just written the members of the Committee asking them whether we couldn't meet on Saturday afternoon, November 22nd -- the meeting to last the whole day. Details later.

Providence, R. I.

Dear Dr. Ruggles:

Please forgive the delay in answering your letter. As I wrote you, I have been away, and I also was waiting for word from Professor Sigerist. I wrote Professor Sigerist about the appointment of the Committee with Drs. J. K. Hall, yourself and myself as members. Professor Sigerist writes as follows:

"I think the best way to proceed would be if your Committee would send an official letter to Dr. Ashford R. Long, president of the American Association of the History of Medicine (Henry Phipps Institute, 7th and Lombard Streets, Philadelphia, Pa.). The project will then come up at the Council Meeting on May 4th and will be discussed and, in all probability, will be turned over to our Committee on Research in History of American Medicine of which Professor Shryock is chairman. The Committee will then appoint a sub-committee, of which you should be chairman, to carry out the project. I think this would be the most logical procedure."

The next step then would seem to be to write a letter to Dr. Long. Dr. Stevenson did not apparently designate any one to be chairman of this Committee, and I do not know whether he himself wanted to act as such. You might want to write to Dr. Long and I shall appreciate it if you send me a copy of that letter. I intend to be in Atlantic City for the meeting of the Council of the American Association of the History of Medicine and I shall report to you the results on Tuesday, May 6th, when I come back from Richmond.

If there is anything further you wish me to do, please command me.

Yours sincerely,

TO THE PHYSICIANS OF THE UNITED STATES:

As a defense measure, the President, by Executive Order of September 3, has made the Office of Defense Health and Welfare Services responsible for the development of a coordinated national program in these fields. This is a tremendous responsibility and one which I, as Director, feel is beyond anyone's capacity to discharge successfully unless the full assistance of all interested groups can be enlisted.

Because so much of the program lies within the professional range of interest of the physician, I have wanted to make an appeal first to the physicians of the United States to support this program wherever there may be an opportunity to do so.

One of our major objectives is to improve the nutritional status of American citizens. The National Nutrition Conference brought out the extent to which the nutritional level of the American people will depend on the advice which they receive from their personal physicians. Accordingly, I have sought some means by which this situation could be brought directly to the attention of each individual physician in the country.

The enclosed letter, representing the joint views of the Committee on Food and Nutrition of the National Research Council and the Council on Foods and Nutrition of the American Medical Association, I feel, serves this purpose better than anything I could say. I send it for your consideration.

NATIONAL RESEARCH COUNCIL

2101 CONSTITUTION AVENUE, WASHINGTON, D. C.

Established in 1916 by the National Academy of Sciences under its Congressional
Charter and organized with the cooperation of the National Scientific
and Technical Societies of the United States

COMMITTEE ON FOOD AND NUTRITION

OF THE

DIVISIONS OF BIOLOGY AND AGRICULTURE, MEDICAL
SCIENCES, AND ANTHROPOLOGY AND PSYCHOLOGY

To the Physicians of the United States:

Dear Doctor:

We seek your active assistance to improve the
quality of American diets. Many men, women and partic-
ularly children, either because of lack of funds or of
adequate advice, are not getting the food they need to
maintain them in good health. The scientific knowledge
of nutrition now at hand has not been applied to best
advantage for the benefit of the national health.

THE NATIONAL RESEARCH COUNCIL

In compliance with a request of the Government,
the National Research Council established a committee
to provide scientific guidance for a campaign to improve
human nutrition. The National Research Council was
organized within the National Academy of Sciences, at
the time of the World War, by an Executive Order of
President Wilson. It assisted in the prosecution of
that war and, after the war, continued to serve as an
advisory agency of the Government. The thirty-three
members of its Committee on Food and Nutrition were
selected by the executive officers of the Council from
among the leading exponents of the science of nutrition.
The membership includes 10 physicians, 5 physiologists,
8 chemists, 6 nutritionists, and representatives, two
each, of agriculture and food technology. This Com-
mittee merits your confidence; six of its members also
are members of the Council on Foods and Nutrition of
the American Medical Association.

To the Physicians of the United States - 2

RECOMMENDATIONS

Following are the actions taken by the Committee on Food and
Nutrition:

Improvement of Flour and Bread

A procedure to improve the nutritive quality of flour and
bread: For the time being synthetic vitamins are utilized to restore
essential substances to white flour and bread. Thiamine, nicotinic
acid or nicotinic acid amide, and the mineral iron are the sub-
stances now being added. Ultimately processes of milling may be
developed which will preserve the vitamins and minerals originally
in the wheat in a flour acceptable to consumers. The purpose of
this recommendation is to insure immediately a supply of these
vitamins of the vitamin B Complex (thiamine and nicotinic acid)
which are essential for the satisfactory oxidation of carbohydrate
foods. The required levels for these vitamins, as well as for iron,
will approximate those found in whole wheat flour and bread. (Many
millers and bakers have made such products available under the
designations "enriched" flour and "enriched" bread. Regulations for
their control will soon be promulgated by the Food and Drug Adminis-
tration, through the Federal Security Agency.)

Use of Iodized Salt

The widespread use of table salt iodized to a standard level
of one part of potassium iodide or equivalent per 10,000 parts of
salt is recommended. (Iodized salt has been available for many years,
but its use of late has unfortunately declined; the incidence of
endemic goitre is on the increase. Conclusive evidence confirms that
harm does not attend the use of iodized salt by persons otherwise
receiving an adequate supply of iodine.)

Addition of Vitamin A to Oleomargarine

A recommendation has been adopted to promote the general fortification of oleomargarine with vitamin A to a level of 9000 International Units per pound. (Such oleomargarine is now replacing unfortified oleomargarine.)

SUMMARY

The Committee believes that use of whole wheat bread and of
butter should be encouraged by vigorous educational effort. Where

To the Physicians of the United States - 3

these natural foods are not used, enriched flour and bread and
properly fortified oleomargarine should be preferred over unenriched
white flour and bread and oleomargarine not containing vitamin A.
Use of iodized salt is also to be emphasized. These nutritionally
improved products will greatly facilitate the planning of satisfactory
diets.

These recommendations have the endorsement of the Council on
Foods and Nutrition and of the Board of Trustees of the American
Medical Association. Your personal endorsement of them will help more.
Strong leadership in the campaign for improved nutrition must come from
physicians; your active support of the nutritional activities of your
community is essential.

Acceptance and application of the recommendations of the National
Nutrition Conference and of the actions of the Committee on Food and
Nutrition by all the people is required. If our great Nation is to
preserve its heritage, Americans must have a diet that more nearly meets
the Recommended Dietary Allowances advocated by the National Nutrition
Conference. (See Jour. A.M.A. June 7, 1941) Nutritious food may well
determine the effectiveness of the national defense. The people must
understand; they look to you for guidance.

My dear Mr. Donlinger:

I received your letter with great pleasure and not a little sadness. I remember you and your great kindness to me very vividly and always feel grateful to you as I feel towards many people inside outside Chautauqua circles for the lift they gave me at the time when I was finding my way around in this country and learning its way of life. I wish it were possible for me to underwrite all the three hundred dollars which you need to complete your book. This not being the case I am glad that I am at least able to contribute the sum of fifty dollars which you ask. At the same time I want to make certain that my preference is that you should not feel obligated to reimburse me unless and until circumstances warrant.

I wish to repeat, it was a very great pleasure to hear from you and I wish I were more efficient in keeping in touch with my old friends.

With best wishes and warmest regards,

My dear Lee:

I am very glad that you saw Paul Sheldon. You are right, of course, the unconscious hostility of this man against the child and his hostility in general is very severe. His characterological reaction formations are rather typically schizoid. The queerest thing about the situation is this: his wife is a totally different person, but when with him they both change into a typical new rose à deux with an endless series of symptoms - particularly suicidal drives which are not as active, or not present at all, when these two people are not together. This is what motivated my trend to keep them apart during the acute periods. Hence the suggestion that he go to Detroit without her, and she go to Detroit when he comes to New York. I agree with you that he needs intensive therapy, and of course some one else should take care of him since I am going to take care of her. I shall appreciate it if you will let me know anything else you think I should about the man by the time he returns to New York.

About my paper, The title? "The Sense of Reality". I shall probably come to Detroit in the morning and leave the next afternoon for Chicago. Of course, if it proves possible, I shall stay over for the evening after the night of the meeting, for I want to see you all and look forward to it.

Warmest regards.

I READ YOUR REVIEW AND APPRECIATE YOUR ENDEAVOR. I DO NOT KNOW WHO IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THE BLURB ABOUT ME GIVEN IN THE REVIEW.

SPEAKING OF A HISTORY OF PSYCHIATRY OR MEDICAL PSYCHOLOGY, DO YOU KNOW OF ANY HISTORY IN ANY LANGUAGE EXCEPT KANNABICH'S IN RUSSIAN WHICH I MYSELF MENTION?

AS TO MY CATERING TO A "SELECT PARK AVENUE CLIENTELE," THIS IS PLAINLY UNTRUE. IT DOES NOT BOTHER ME, CONSIDERING THE PRESS CAMPAIGN AGAINST ME WHICH HAS BEEN RATHER RELENTLESS OF LATE, BUT THIS REMARK TENDS TO JOIN THE CHORUS OF THE DAILY NEWS, SOCIAL JUSTICE AND THE SATURDAY EVENING POST. I WONDER WHO IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS STUPIDITY AND RATHER MALICIOUS IRRESPONSIBILITY AND UNDIGNIFIED FOOLISHNESS. YOU MAY FEEL FREE TO SHOW THESE REMARKS TO THE ONE WHO IS RESPONSIBLE. I DO NOT WANT THEM PRINTED, OF COURSE, BECAUSE I HAVE MADE IT MY BUSINESS NOT TO ANSWER ALL THESE CHEAP AND UNWARRANTED ATTACKS.

MEYER'S REMARKS ABOUT MY BOOK ARE INTERESTING. HIS LETTER TO ME WAS MORE COMPLIMENTARY THAN HIS APPARENT ATTITUDE WOULD WARRANT. IF YOU ARE AT LIBERTY WILL YOU TELL ME IN WHAT RESPECT DID "HE PRAISE THE BOOK HIGHLY," AS YOU PUT IT. I AM CURIOUS TO KNOW IN ORDER TO ASSESS MORE CLEARLY HIS CHARACTERISTIC ATTITUDE. HIS REFERENCE TO SOCIAL AND CULTURAL FACTORS AS WARRANTING THE TERM PSYCHIATRYCIS AMUSING AND CONFUSING FOR AFTER ALL EVEN THE ETYMOLOGICAL ORIGIN OF THE WORD PSYCHIATRY MEANS MEDICINE OF THE PSYCHE.

Dear Gregory:

You'll be interested to know that in
a conversation with Adolf Meyer this afternoon
your book came in for a lengthy discussion.
The old man told me he's reading it with much
enjoyment. Naturally, he feels that the Freudian
contribution may have been somewhat exaggerated
in your book, and he also brought up the inter-
esting point that the term "psychiatry" may have
been more appropriate in your title than "medical
psychology", since so many manifestations of mental
disease (demonology, etc.) did not involve medical,
but rather social and cultural factors. But he
did praise the book highly. (I told him that, in
my opinion) it was the best work on psychiatric
history ever published in this country.)

Dear Dr. Zilboorg:

I am very sorry you were unable to be with us last Thursday evening to meet Mr. William L. Shirer, Mr. Joseph Wittlin, and several European exiled writers. You will be happy to know, however, that during the evening sufficient money was subscribed to enable the Exiled Writers Committee of the League of American Writers to undertake the rescue of an additional three anti-Nazi writers who are at present in the concentration camps of France and whose lives are in danger at the hands of the Gestapo.

There is a ship sailing from Casablanca, North Africa, for Vera Cruz, Mexico, on November the eighth and we are informed that these writers will be able to obtain passage on it. We are also told that there are two more anti-Nazi writers - both very able fighters against Hitlerism - whose rescue we can effect in time for them to sail on the same ship, provided that we can raise a further one thousand dollars.

Such an opportunity is not likely to occur again for a long time. I am taking the liberty, therefore, of asking if you will send me a contribution which will help to make it possible for the Exiled Writers Committee to save the lives of these two more important friends of democracy. Believe me, it will be very much appreciated.

Dear Iracy Doyle:

It was good to receive your two letters. Your husband arrived safely. I saw him a few times and the other evening he and Miguel Osorio and I had dinner together. You need not worry about his stay in the U. S. He will work, learn the language. It is perfectly safe to stay here. He is a thoughtful, nice man and I am sure that we will work well together. I understand perfectly that you miss him a great deal and I am certain that you are a brave, good person and you would not permit yourself to worry unnecessarily.

About Jose Daudt: I agree with you in all respects. You will understand very well the reasons why I did not feel that I had the right to counsel him to continue his stay in the United States. He was eager to go back and to try. He had to be given the opportunity to do so. Your interpretation of the mechanism of his jealousy is absolutely correct! Unfortunately the atmosphere in his home is very bad. The don't understand him at all and they don't wish to understand him.

Please communicate with him as soon as you receive this letter and tell him that I consider his coming to the United States a very good thing and that the sooner he comes here the better. He must come alone of course. I don't believe his wife should come here with him. She would not be helpful to him here and he would get worse. He should come here free of any unnecessary care; otherwise the psychotherapeutic effect will be considerably weakened.

Warmest regards to you and best wishes for a happy New Year.

Cordially yours,

My dear Dr. Zilboorg:

These last days have been of great preoccupation to me for I have not heard from Dr. Arruda. I am afraid the war's tension will trouble his permanency in the States. I beg you to advise him to come back if you suppose it is better.

Dr. Oliveira has been appointed by the Brazilian Government to go to U.S. in an official mission. That fact pleases him, because he likes to be with you. He asked me to consult you about that. Please, let me know if you think this voyage will be convenient for him by this time. He waits for your answer in order to decide.

His health still remains in the same situation: Apparently fine. Intimately - days better, days worse. In my last letter of Dec. the 5th I made a brief explanation of his feelings, ideas and attitudes.

With my best wishes,

He is a nice man, good fellow, bright, and has
a great curiosity for science. I thank you
very much for the attention you pay at him. It
was a sacrifice for us to leave each other, but
I recognize that this staying in the States
with you will provide him a good opportunity
for progress and spiritual happiness.

Rio, December the 5th, 1941

My dear Dr. Zilboorg:

I thank you very much for your note
from New York. I am sorry, I couldn't write
to you all this time. We had a lot of work
making arrangements for Dr. Arruda's voyage.
Even if I don't write, I have gratefully
touched on you.

Dr. Oliveira comes to see me twice a
week. He is much better than he was, before
going to the States. I can assure you that
your work was fruitful in a great deal.
But (I am sorry there is a but...) he wasn't
successful in adjusting himself to the fa-
miliar environment. Mrs. Oliveira is un-
cooperative. So are their children too.
Consequently, Dr. Oliveira doesn't find at
home the conditions he needs to feel happy.
Last week, he said to me: "My wife follows me
step by step. She only imitates me. She is
not expontaneous anyway". That is right
partially. But I feel he has a lot of res-
sentments against his wife and oldest child,
Mr. Enio. He frequently blames him as he
talks to me and makes many apologies about

- 2 -

Enio's wife. Sometimes, I feel that he talks about that young lady ( who is very nice, indeed) as he loved her the best. That makes me think that Dr. Oliveira has a particular feeling (may be passion) directed to his daughter - in-law, which he doesn't admitt consciously. So, he thinks of his wife and eldest son (Enio) as traitors. He insists in saying that Mrs. Oliveira and Enio felt in love with one another. That thought gives Dr. Oliveira a sort of relief, if he is really in love with his daughter-in-law.

I would like to know your opinion about this point: Is the idea of jealousy maintained by a psychological mechanism, or does it represent a sequela of his schizophrenic attack?

Dr. Oliveira still suffers, even if he does not talk on his complaints to anyone, besides me. His nights are bad; he wakes up in anguish almost every day. On Sundays, when he stays home most of the time, he feels worse. I advised him to go out of town for week ends.

Last week, he has had an attack of sinusites, from which he has recovered.

I think that if he can't overcome his sufferance, he must go to the States, to continue the treatment under your orientation. This idea pleases him. He admires you and has a great respect for your culture and intelligence.

While I expect your answer, I do my best

Dear Dr. Zilboorg:

You will find enclosed two reprints, one of them dating back to 1925, the other, SPEAKING FROM THE HEART AND GROUP HEALTH MEDICINE, published this year. Although 16 years have elapsed since the first of them, the social problem of psychotherapy has not yet been solved. In the enclosed reprint and in the speech delivered on occasion of the opening of the first Congress for Psychotherapy in Baden-Baden, April 1926, I directed the attention of the psychotherapist of all schools to this urgent need to bring psychotherapeutic help to the unknown soldier in the day-by-day struggle for life. At that time, in 1926, my friends, among them the signers of the first proclamation of the Congress, Ernest Simmel, the late Paul Schilder, and many other prominent psychoanalysts and representatives of different schools declared their agreement and collaborated whole-heartedly in the following years.

We are here confronted with the same problem and our Association would like to submit the more limited problem of psychotherapy and group health medicine to a PANEL DISCUSSION. This does not mean, by the way, that we are excluding the problem in its whole width, namely, psychotherapy and workmens compensation, or psychotherapy and health insurance laws. This will depend upon the interests of those collaborating.

May I ask you whether this problem meets with your present interest, and whether you are willing to give us a part of your time, either in the preparation or in the carrying through of said panel discussion.

PROPOSED PAN AMERICAN GRADUATE MEDICAL CENTER

A post-graduate medical school as is proposed is greatly needed for physicians in this country as well as for visiting physicians from Latin America. Present facilities for such instruction are inadequate in the United States and in the rest of the Western Hemisphere.

In addition to teaching graduate physicians for short or long courses, the latter for those who wish to become specialists, there would be facilities in the school for training Latin American nurses to be instructors of nurses in their own countries. Provision will also be made for the instruction of graduate dentists.

It is planned to arrange for the granting of a number of scholarships for students from each country, the grants for these scholarships to be underwritten by local laymen and businessmen in the different countries. Deans of various medical schools and important statesmen from Latin America have assured us that these scholarships would be readily underwritten. A certain number of scholarships we believe would also be granted in the same way for Canadian and American physicians. The plan also includes "exchange professorships".

While the twenty-two story structure would be inadequate to house completely all the facilities necessary for instruction in all branches of medicine and surgery, etc., this can be taken care of by affiliation with several special hospitals. We have been assured of the willingness of such hospitals, i.e. Nose and Throat, Orthopedics, Traumatic Surgery, etc. to affiliate with this graduate medical center.

It might be mentioned here that many men in political life in Latin America are physicians and that the good will and friendliness and understanding of the 75,000 Latin American physicians and the 40,000 Latin American dentists toward the United States, would be of invaluable aid to the work being done by various agencies to further good Pan American relations.

The establishment of the Pan American Graduate Medical Center would help in a large measure to make New York City the medical teaching center of the Western Hemisphere for graduate physicians. We are assured of having a faculty of some 500 medical men well qualified to teach their various branches of medicine who would be eager to take such positions for the prestige and honor and the desire to promote Latin American good will.

Dr. Hugh Cummings, Director
U. S. Public Health Service
Washington, D. C.

Dear Dr. Cummings:

It is part of the foreign policy of the Government of the United States to insure the maintenance of the Monroe Doctrine. Recently, events in world politics and the war have made it imperative that the United States shall develop the closest comity with the Latin Americas. One of the great agencies to effect this plan is to extend the medical educational facilities of the United States to the professional personnel of Latin America - doctors, dentists and nurses. Heretofore, the physicians of Latin America have looked to Europe for post-graduate medical instruction. This avenue of instruction to Latin America is now closed by reason of the war, and the post-war conditions are apt to be so anarchic for many years to come that it is opportune that the United States seize this opportunity and develop it to its fullest possibility.

It is therefore proposed, (1) that there be set up an institution for graduate instruction for doctors, dentists and nurses so as to make it a mecca for Latin American students; (2) the plan comprehends a fully equipped hospital of 400 beds; (3) a large rotating staff so as to conduct all year round teaching in all departments - medicine, dentistry, nursing; (4) extra-mural affiliation with special hospitals and teaching institutions; (5) to plan cognate services for the promulgation of Latin American affiliations.

I would appreciate receiving a letter from you giving your thoughts regarding the necessity for increasing post-graduate facilities in this country as well as furthering good Pan American relations by establishing Pan American Post Graduate Medical Centers in various countries in this hemisphere as outlined in the following pages.

Y.", "Dear Dan:", "In reference to our last conference I am sending you a few additional concrete facts which might be helpful in your presentation to the Mayor.", "1. The property under consideration on West 72nd Street was brought to my attention by Mr. Rex Roosevelt Leaycraft, a cousin of President Roosevelt. Mr. Leaycraft is a retired business man, is interested in public welfare, and has no personal motive. On learning of the feasibility of using this property, the details of which you are familiar, Mr. Leaycraft two weeks ago went to Washington and presented the possibility of establishing the Pan American Graduate Medical School and Hospital to the President. According to Mr. Leaycraft, the President reacted quite favorably and sent Mr. Leaycraft to Mr. Jones' office to discuss financial aid and also referred him to his private physician and medical advisor, Admiral Ross T. McIntire, who in turn was also much interested. Admiral McIntire is one of the executive secretaries of our Association and a strong advocate of establishing the above institution. I have letters from him to this effect should you wish to copy, also from the President.", "2. Some time ago President Roosevelt invited me to see him in Washington in order to discuss the above project. Present at the conference were Mr. Sumner Welles and Admiral McIntire. The President showed great enthusiasm and said that he would help this project \"directly and indirectly\". Mr. Welles and Admiral McIntire were equally enthusiastic. When I asked the President the question as to whether I should attempt to establish this project under the auspices of an existing university he definitely advised against it, and said that a university would tend to localize the institution whereas if it were an independent one, it would have a more international character. However, we would be willing if it were shown to be advantageous, to raise the funds first in the name of the Pan American Graduate Medical School and Hospital, make an independent going concern with well-defined policies and activities, and then affiliate with a university.", "EIGHTH CRUISE CONGRESS - BUENOS AIRES AUGUST 1942", "Cable Addresses: Panamed, New York", "Panamedica, Havana\nPanamedica, Buenos Aires", "OFFICERS OF ASSOCIATION:", "PRESIDENT:", "Dr. José Arce\n2220 Vicente López\nBuenos Aires, Argentina", "DIRECTOR GENERAL:", "Dr. Joseph Jordan Eller\n745 Fifth Avenue\nNew York, N.

Dr. Gregory Zilboorg
14 East 75th Street
New York, N.Y.

Dear Gregory:

I suppose you are glad, but I am sorry, that your trips to Philadelphia have ceased. I got a great deal out of your seminars and out of becoming better acquainted with you during your visits here, and I wanted to write a note to tell you of this personally, and to thank you for what you gave us. Let me again tell you how much I enjoyed that paper which you read the other night. I didn't do it full justice in my discussion. There were many thought-provoking things in it which I should have commented upon more brilliantly. I wish I could hear you talk while about the animistic thinking of children and what could be done practically by parents to reduce the amount of harmful animistic thinking. There is, of course, good animistic thinking as well as bad. How are we going to capture and utilize that which is conducive to happiness and usefulness, and avoid so much that leads to confusion, anxiety and inefficiency? Maybe you will get around to that when you take up the subject again - if you have not already done so.

I wish I could hear you talk on the subject of homosexuality at some time. As Holmer was discussing for a few minutes his case of the man who left analysis and went to Florida and has come back but as yet has not returned to Holmer you made the comment that he must have a great deal of anxiety and difficulty because of a strong homosexual trend. I would like to know what you mean by that. How much do you mean that the man goes around anxious because of an unconscious desire to have some other man engage in some sexual relationship with him of a genital nature, or how much is he just afraid of admitting that he wants love, affection and interest which makes him appear in his own eyes more like a child or a woman. To me, the usual concept of homosexuality as it is bandied about by the psychoanalysts has never been thought out well by anybody. By being "well thought out" I mean it has never been treated in the same manner as you treated the sense of reality in your recent paper. If this has been done and I have overlooked it would you please refer me to the article or treatise in which you feel it was adequately dealt with.

I shall remember your invitation to visit you in New York. I appreciated receiving such an invitation from you after such a relatively short acquaintance, because when a man like yourself who is as busy as you are, asks another to come over and spend a while and just talk you must feel considerable in common with that person, and I was flattered that you felt that much in common with me. Some time I hope we can make it come to pass. Anyhow I shall be looking for you in Richmond, and in the meantime I extend my thanks and my very best regards.

Sorry you aren't going to dine with my Ellen and me. Then I'll have to attend that meeting at Bookbinder's too. I didn't know Maeder was going to invite you to the business meeting. I had thought we could both avoid that! Don't you ever get tired of consorting with psychoanalysts and hearing of their troubles? I do. So I just thought I'd provide a little change for you.

However, if you are interested we can do it next time. Incidentally, I may not be able to meet your train this Saturday. I guess since Maeder has corresponded with you he will meet you. See you over the soup.

Let me repeat how much I enjoyed your talk last Saturday evening. You are really giving this young group down here something to think about, and I am glad to have them hear some of the things you have to say while we all are still young.

We heard you over the radio and liked it very much. Unless there has to be come change in your plans at the last moment I will be meeting the four o'clock train at North Philadelphia on March 15th.

I shall arrive in Philadelphia to be on time for the dinner at 6.

Dear Dr. Zilboorg:

I am sorry I did not have time to talk to you about our research project when I was last in New York and discussed the matter with Marshall Field. I am sure that you know already that Mr. Field proved to be most generous and cooperative, and that we are now planning to begin work on October first.

Needless to say, Dr. Fisher and I are delighted with the opportunity that has been provided us, and hope that we shall justify the confidence of all those who have shown interest in the work. Without your assistance, we know it would have been impossible for us to proceed, and we should like to assure you of our gratitude for your support.

Once the project is under way, we hope to be able to consult with you over problems which are bound to arise.

Dear Win:

I had some difficulty in locating Miss McGill but finally got
held of her and she told me that she was working on a case and that she was
going to get in touch with you.
I can't tell you how happy I was about the weekend in Washington

and how good it was to see you and talk with you! Upon my return home I
discovered that somewhere in the back of my mind there was left a sense
of discomfort in connection with Washington and it took me some time before
I was able to analyze it. Here is what I discovered it was due to. I
recalled that I failed to see Dr. Faber and have a talk with him, and I
am going to write to him today. In looking over the plans of the Committee
for the Study of Suicide I find that our funds are running so low that not
more than three thousand dollars will be left by October first, and this
money we might need to use for purposes of publication. It looks to me in
this connection that the wisest and most efficacious way of handling the
Faber matter would be to write to Marshall Field. I think it would be
best if you wrote to him and told him about the problem and told him, of
course, that you and I discussed the research plans of Doctors Faber and Fisher;
I am more than certain that Field will then get in touch with me about the
subject.

I wrote to Dr. Ruggles yesterday and have sent you a copy of the
letter.

I again want to thank you for a wonderful weekend.

Dear Dr. Parrar:

We shall miss you at our first meeting of the
Committee on the History of Psychiatry and I shall report
to you on our deliberations and solicit your opinion.

Yes, I met Pacheco e Silva. I saw him in Rich-
mond also, as well as in his home town, Sao Paulo.

As to my Cincinnati paper, I shall be only too
glad to make it very brief (it was and is as brief as it
sounded) and pass it on. I shall appreciate your giving me
an idea as to the most advisable length of the article on
Brazilian psychiatry. I know that space is at a premium
and I know too that shorter communications are always or
usually more telling. When would you wish to have it? Also,
do you wish me to send it on directly to you? I ask this
because I have reason to believe that Dr. Hamilton (Samuel W.)
would want to see it and I might send it to him to be for-
warded to you - if you have no objection.

With kind regards,

Toronto Psychiatric Hospital,

Dear Dr. Farrar:

The reason why I suggested a meeting of the Committee in November is this: I happen to know that the general consensus of opinion is in favor of starting our work as soon as possible. I concur with this opinion. In view of this, I thought that a meeting in November would make it possible for us to submit a preliminary report to the Council in December and then proceed with whatever plan will have been decided upon. Arthur Ruggles and Win Overholser have expressed their willingness to attend our first meeting and since there is a great deal of work to do the following suggests itself.

We could meet on Saturday, November 22nd, late in the morning and have an all-day meeting. We could get together at my farm near Stamford, Connecticut -- fifty minutes from New York City -- and lunch and dine together and adjourn that evening, or if necessary continue for a couple of hours Sunday morning. I do hope you can see your way clear to coming to this meeting. You will be kept informed and your opinion will be sought at all times, but the value of personal contact and direct exchange of views cannot be overestimated.

The *Journal* will have received by now a review copy of *A History of Medical Psychology*. Dr. Henry and I finally got around to finishing the job.

Incidentally, as you may know, I am just back from Brazil, and I collected some material about Brazilian psychiatry which might interest you. Would you consider an article on the subject for the *Journal*?

Yours very sincerely,

Dear Doctor Zilbourg:-

Within the past few days you received an invi-

participate in a photographic exhibition held in their

This invitation again gives us the opportunity
of having an exhibit in an outstanding Art Institution
in which our pictorial photography has received full
recognition.

As the National Arts Club contacted me, I suggested
a list of names and promised full cooperation knowing that
I could depend upon you to help make this exhibit one of the
best ever held in New York.

If you have not, as yet, sent in your card stating
the number of prints you will submit, please do me the
favor of mailing it at once.

With kindest regards to you, I remain,

December 11, 1941

Mr. Marshall Field,
250 Park Avenue,
New York, N. Y.

Dear Marshall:

Your generosity is deeply appreciated. The Council of the American Psychiatric Association meets in New York in the next few days and I shall then report to them that the fulfillment of the project of the Committee on the History of Psychiatry was made financially secure by your great kindness.

As I write this I hear that Italy and Germany have declared war against us. These expected clouds over the horizon of our country, while they don't dim our convictions and hopes, yet make one feel a shudder. The fall of man to the level of brutality, to primitive sadism, awakens one to a sense of duty which both frightens and inspires. Those of us who are too old to fight with arms in their hands are particularly aware of the duty these days impose on them. What will be left of value in the wake of victory is not yet known. I wonder whether we should not have a true army of scholars and research workers in the field of the humanities who, their ranks closed and wills set, would put their supreme effort and last breath into study and preservation of those values which are so easily lost in the atmosphere of smoke and blood. I think of you and the tasks which you set for yourself, the synthesis and guidance of public opinion and public conscience which you represent. I wish you well, and if I were humble enough to pray, I would pray for you ardently.

Affectionately,

December 1, 1941

Dear Marshall:

The complexity of certain events of which you are aware
and your own preoccupation with the launching of the Chicago Sun
have made it impossible for me to see you ever since my return from
my vacation.

You will recall that when I last saw you I told you something
about the forthcoming centenary of the American Psychiatric Association
and of the Association's plans to issue a scientific history of
American Psychiatry on the occasion of the centenary. A Special
Committee on History of Psychiatry was appointed with myself as Chair-
man. I told you then that I might need your help in this connection
and you were good enough to give me permission to turn to you when
the project became more definite.

The Committee at its last meeting worked out its plans
and the publication of the volume was definitely decided upon. The
estimated cost of the book is about three thousand to three thousand
five hundred dollars. I wonder whether you will find it possible to
finance us in the undertaking to this extent. As there are almost
three thousand members of the American Psychiatric Association alone
and a number of libraries, other readers and other allied societies,
we have no doubt that the book will not only sell well, but will
probably yield a substantial profit. This being the case the
money contributed may, if you wish, be ultimately returned to you, of
if you wish it might, together with the profits, if any, be set aside
by the American Psychiatric Association for the special purpose of
furthering research in psychiatric history under the auspices of
the Association.

Conditions being rather uncertain, we thought that,

Nov. 7th '41

Dear Mr. Field;

More Power to You! I have just read the filthy, effeminate attack on
you which appeared in this morning's 'Daily News'. Your Chicago newspaper project has
evidently knocked the 'Tribune Properties' off its feet. It is screaming names from the
floor. To Hell with the 'Tribune Properties'. This country is loaded with Americans who
don't like Hitlerism, no matter what name it hides under. And who do like the people
who fight it in the open. And you are one of the boldest and most distinguished of those.

I was glad to read something of Dr. Zilboorg. I crossed from France with him on board in 1926 and he and John Cowper Powys and I had many discussions and walks on the deck together. He had, I think, just been spending some time with Dr. Freud. I always remembered him as being very full of life, but I never ran across him again. It was quite exciting to read about him. At that time he had much more hair than the photo shows..extremely black and silky hair. He was fairly loaded with his subject and exuded enthusiasm. Jack Powys was a vivid figure, too, and I enjoyed the voyage very much.

I couldn't refrain from writing you to express my indignation at the unmitigated muckerism of the article in the News. The article made me think of Lincoln's quip when some-one complained that Grant drank too much. He wished he could load the other generals up with the same brand.

I like what you have done about refugee children, I like PM, I like your backing Roosevelt in the pinches and above all I like your moving into a clinch with the American Nazi conspiracy in its lair, in Chicago. Once more; More Power to You.

Very Sincerely yours

Dear Marshall:

This is just a note about the Committee before I go away on the badly needed vacation this Saturday, the thirteenth. I shall be back on the twentieth of October. As soon as I return we shall start working on the completion of the report, which may take two or three months, perhaps a little longer.

Considering the times and the shortage of paper for book printing, we shall probably have to revise our original plan as to the volume of the report. I shall let you know the details as soon as I have worked them out with my associates in October.

Our office closes on October 1st and are expenses will be reduced to the salaries of our two secretaries, which total $281.66 a month. By January 1, 1942 our estimated balance at the bank will therefore be about $2,300.00. This may prove a sufficient amount to subsidize the Johns Hopkins Press, which I think is the best publication house to issue our report. Of course, we shall probably have to pay some salaries after January 1st and our balance for subsidy may be reduced. This probably could be taken up later, at the time of our annual meeting.

I am writing to our Executive Committee -- you, Win Overholser and Hal Riley -- about all these facts and hope

Dear Contributor:

As the year 1941 comes to a close, I write to present the opportunity which Fisk University offers to those willing to share their tax burdens with an outstanding charity.

A gift to Fisk University now, tax exempt and stamped with the approval of the United States Government, may bring your income into a lower bracket and consequently decreased assessment.

Fisk University at Nashville, Tenn. is the outstanding privately-endowed college for Negroes. Negroes constitute our largest American minority and the Negro is smarting under the failure of the "The Services" or the Defense industries to receive his sincerely proffered services on anything like an equal basis.

Fisk has a Grade A rating among all the colleges both for whites and blacks. It has a faculty and a board of trustees made up of representative men and women of both races, and drawn from both the North and the South.

Fisk rejoices in the endorsement of The General Education Board and other foundations most intimately associated with the educational programs for Negroes.

For the last fifteen years Fisk has been able to balance its budget. This year it is necessary to raise from the generous public $20,000. and toward this sum I ask a contribution from you.

Checks should be drawn to the order of FISK UNIVERSITY and sent to the office here in my care.

Dear Dr. Zilboorg:

Thank you for giving Miss Franken my name.
I saw her Monday night because she felt it was urgent that
she see some one that day. She began the interview by assur-
ing me that she was fully analyzed and did not need treatment
but needed advice on what to do about a man she had known for
five years. She felt she must either have an affair with him
or break off completely. She did not wish to have an affair
because the Id should not control her life. During her work
with Dr. Jelliffe she had learned that unless the Id attached
itself to a suitable person one lived one's life without the
Id. The trouble was she had gone beyond the pleasure principle
but hadn't reached reality. She just needed advice. She knew
she was a split personality because the ego and superego hadn't
gotten together. But she knew what the trouble was - she
couldn't let go of father's penis, etc.

She was delighted that you had sent her to a
woman because no man can really understand what goes on in a
woman. She felt an immediate "rapport".

When I asked her what she thought of treatment
she wept because how could she ever explain it to Uncle Jelliffe.
On fifteen dollars a week she could not afford it. I had told
her I had no regular opening in the evenings and suggested we
get the name of an analyst who might have time from you. This
upset her - she could not start all over with some one else now
that she had told me all about herself. So we left it that I
would be available for occasional interviews.

She's a dreadfully mixed up person with a pro-
tective shell of psychoanalytic language that will make her very
difficult to treat. She feels "Uncle Jelliffe" approves her

Dr. Gregory Zilboorg

New York C.

Mon très cher ami,

Ma femme et moi, nous sommes enfin arrivés à Rio de Janeiro, dernière étape des nos vagondages qui ont duré depuis le 10 Juin 1940 jusqu'à 23 Avril 1941 !

J'ai toujours dis à mes enfants et tous nos amis d'exile, qui perdaient souvent courage et leur bonne humeur, qu'ils doivent tenir la tête haute et le cœur serein, car les veritables difficultés d'existence commenceront seulement quand on sera au bout de ces deplacements continuelles. Je crois meleurement que j'avais raison : ici au Brésil on constate nettement, et avec douleur, que l'on est vraiment "y pagüêno". —

Mais tout cela ne présente qu'un interet limité et particulier. Vous, avec votre esprit philosophique et généralisateur, vous voudriez savoir comment la guerre, et la catastrophe mondiale se réperouta dans ce pays, le plus grand d'Amerique et la plus riche, peut-être, en ressources naturelles, en matières premières et ses dépots de sous-sol.

Si notre cas, sous ses aspects morales, peut servir comme indication et comme basomètre, il faut le dire que la situation ici est bonne et même excellente.

Quand le bateau a accosté nous avons pu constater une affluence assez grande des nos amis brésiliens qui ont tenu à venir nous saluer à la descente, quoique par les sentiments d'une aprêhension nous n'avons prevenu que deux ou trois personnes, dans les attitudes desquelles il n'existe pas d'union entre nous à notre égard. Nous n'avons jamais douté. Notons que ces amis connaissent nos origines, et ils devaient également supposer que les Friedmann ayant pu s'achapper de cette Europe ruinée n'arrivent pas précisément en "nabad's" hindous. Je dois dire que les brésiliens en général, et je parle seulement de ce milieu dans lequel j'ai évolué le dernier temps, sont vraiment des amis fidèles, independent de la fortune et du nombre desdollars que l'on possède.—

Le premier contact avec le Brésil, a été donc cordial, et les sentiments emportés par nous a été que tout ce monde est ouvertement du côté de votre patrie d'adoption, et même du côté de l'Angleterre, malgré des griefs, bien ou mal fonfés, que ce pays s'oppose elle.—

Il serait futile de cacher que le poison racique, l'antisémitisme, n'a pas touché la population brésilienne, surtout les ignorants et les illetrés ( qui sont ici par maleur par trop nombreux ). — On y parle des juifs, de la juiverie internationale etc. sans savoir de quoi exactement il s'agit. Il faut vous dire que ce pays a complètement oublié l'existence même des juifs, dont l'appelation est tombé dans la légende, car les siècles qu'dans cette question a agité le pays sous forme de persecution n'ont pas réligieusement, ont éffacé toute trace de haine.— Maintenant on veut, et on reussi parfois, de faire révivre cette haine sous pretexte que les juifs aceeparent tout : il n'y a même 1% des juifs dans ce pays.—

Les affaires au Brésil, en général, ne sont pas mauvaises : l'industrie marche à plein rendement, d'autres se créent tous les jours, surtout grace aux réfugiés-techniciens ou capitalistes, les matières premières s'achettent par les Anglais ou par les Etats-Unis. Bref, ce pays se adapté très rapidement à l'ablation complete de l'Europe, qui a pourtant présenté avant la guerre 80 % du mouv...

du commerce extérieure du Brésil. Ce changement rédical d'orientation de la vie économique du pays, chose certainnement rémarable, est passé sans heurte et sans une crise aiguë, peut être grace aux mesures adequates pris, oppotunement par le Gouvernement Brésilien et suite à la politique "du bon voisinage" pratiqué depuis un certain temps par les Etats Unis avec methode, perpécacité, perseverance et beaucoup de reclame et publicité. Avec chaque "clipper", avec chaque bateau, arrivent ici des missionnés, des délégués de toute nature et des ambassadeurs personnels du Président Roosevelt. Après Mr. Farley est venue Mr. Pierson, Président de la Banque des Exportations, après ce dernier une mission de l'Institut Carnegie, et puis le chef commercial de la ligne Moore-McCormik, etc. Actuellement la capitale du Brésil fête un astre cinematographique, Douglas Fairbank, Jun. qui est visite officielle ici, comme porteur de la bonne parole du Président. États-Unis. Etant très populaire et connu des masses, ses visites et ses déplacements en ville et à travers du pays revettent un aspect d'une marche triomphale, si on devait juger par la publicité des journaux et les photographies qui occupent dans ces journaux la place d'honneur. Ceux qui voient d'un mauvais œil tout raprochement entre les deux pays tauchent de ridiculiser cet brillant embassadeur en disant, que cette offence pour le pays d'envoyer un, saltimbanque" comme répresenatnt officiel ? Comme réponse à ces insinuations malveillantes les journaux du camp opposé, et là sont nombreux, ont publié la biographie de jeune et ardent artiste, ainsi nous avons appris que Douglas est un architecte diplomé, aux Etats-Unis et en Anleterre, qu'il est membre de l'Académie des Beaux Arts, qu'il est un brillant journaliste etc. etc. EXI D'ailleurs le discours qu'il a prononcé à la réception à l'Association de la Prase a été très bien tourné, bien conçu, et a été applaudi par tout le monde. Modestement il se nomme agent, officiel bien entendu, de cette organisation d'Intechange Intelectuele' entre les Amériques qui fait partie de lapolitique du bon voisinage inaugurée par le Président Roosevelt. Son but est de faire connaître aux brésiliens les veritables aspirations des Etats-Unis, leur manifester montrer qu'ils idéaux, purement humanitaires, président à cette nouvelle politique des Etats-Unis, et ce rapporter à son pays tout ce qu'il a vu et vu au Brésil, qu'il considère merite d'être plus connu.- Ce juene homme a gagné, outre les cœurs du sexe faible, aussi l'admiration des gens graves et ponderés par son tact et sa tenu.- Si je m'etands si lionguement au sujet de cette visite, entre tant d'autres, c'est parceque l'arrivée de Douglas a coincée avec ma venue dans ce pays, et, des controverses entre les journaux à ce sujet, il a été fait relativement facile de disceller les veritables sympathies et ponçant du peuple. D'ailleurs les interets bien compris poussent les brésiliens du côté des Etats-Unis, et, parmi le ricochet du côté des Anglais.- Coupé de l'Europe, Les Etats-Unis et l'Angleterre sont devenus les seuls, pour ainsi dire, les pays avec lesquels le Brésil peut encore commercer avec des profits notables. Imaginez vous le débacle économique, financier et industrielle qui s'aurait abattu sur le Brésil, si l'Europe absente n'aurait pas été, si avantageusement remplacée par les deux pays! Bref, l'amour et l'interet sont liés dans la situation actuelle d'une manière si harmonieuse que l'on ne parle pas, et on ne doit pas parler de la différence d'idéologie entre ces pays, si une telle différence existe.- J'ai souvent entendu aux Etats-Unis que le Brésil constitue un point faible dans l'armature de la solidarité des Amériques. Je crois que vu la distance, cette impression est fortement exagerée. Prenons les jazza journaux qui, quoique ils subissent l'influence du Gouvernement, s'agit que l'on constate dans la pluspart des pays actuellement, écrivent avec la complète independance tout ce qui concerne la politique extérieure, et comment à perte des vues et à façon les évenements.- Des toutes la quantité innombrables des journaux quotidiens (ils plus nombreux qu'à New York, mais avec des tirages bien plus restreints) il n'y que deux, d'importance minimale et sans influence apparante sur l'opinion publique, tous sont presque, avec un degré d'inbusiasme différent, du côté des Etats-Unis et de sa politique, donc favorable à l'Angleterre, d'une manière indirecte. Ces journaux exaltent le courage des grecs, leur vaillance et par la même occasion les mêmes qualités chez leur alliés les Anglais. Ils publient avec des lettres démesurement grandes toutes les nouvelles favorable à la cause des alliés et donnent in extenso les débats dans la Chambre des Communs, en soulignant les passages les plus marquant de Mr. Churchill.- Bref leur sympathie se montrent, tantôt avec les cris d'allegresse, tantôt d'une manière différente, avec des sous-ontendus et des allusions. Ceci non pas par ceque cela leur est defendu, mais pour avoir itinérant l'air d'être impartiaux.- Les journaux du camp opposé sont violents, dans le sens contraire, et il faut le dire ils ont, maluereusement pour le moment plus des atouts que leur adversaires. Je me fais dire que malgré le peu d'importance des journaux pro-allemands, leur maigre tirage et

leur peu de valeur informative, ils sont assez repandus et font tout leur possible pour s'imposer au public. Si on prend en considération que la Presse Brésilienne est "sous le contrôle, direction, fiscalisation, bref sous l'organisation générale du Gouvernement" (phrase citée de l'étude de Mr. Nobrega da Cunha, éminent journaliste du Brésil actuellement Directeur à l'Enseignement Primaire), l'attitude de la plus grande majorités journnaux dévient encore plus mal claire en ce qui concerne leur sympathie. Faut-il conclure que les sphères dirigentes du Brésil ont la même disposition d'éprit que l'opinion publique ? - Il serait téméraire de le dire, car les autorités ne se manifesteront point officiellement, exception, bien entendu quand le protocole l'exige à l'occasion des réception des "ambassadeurs" spéciaux du "bon voisinage". D'ailleurs c'est à ces derniers d'être fixé d'une manière définitive sur cette question grave et éminant importante. En résumé on peut dire que les craintes des certains américains au sujet du Brésil sont fortement exagérées ce qui ne veut point dire que "tout est bien dans ce monde"; la vigilence est nécessaire et les envois des "ambassadeurs" genre Fairbanks et autre sont très utiles et même indispensables. - Etant donné que ma lettre n'est qu'une éspèce d'aperçu de la situation que j'ai trouvé ici après plus de deux ans d'absence et ne s'adresse qu'à vous à titre privée, mes conseils ci-dessus n'ont aucune valeur pratique. Si je les donne quand même c'est plutôt comme "figure "rétorique" et aussi parceque j'ai assisté personnellement aux débacles de la Belgique de la France et des Pays-Bas, débacles dûs principalement à la nonchalance, " aux-laisser-faire" et la sous-estimation de ces petits noyaux des propagandistes et agitateurs, genre Degrelle pour la Belgique, qui sous la protection de la liberté de la parole et des écrits empoisonaient les masses ignorantes et flotantes quand il s'agissait de la Politique Internationale. Ces petits groupes, qui étaient dans tous ces pays des "infiniments petits", tellement leur nombre a été restraints, présentaient des "microbes" sur le grand et sain organisme d'Etat et d'unis c'est même eux qui ont produit les ravages et les destructions au moment critique. Ces microbes doivent être constamment surveillées par des "medecins". Mes réflexions se rapportent cependant encore plus aux Etats Unis ou la "culture" est bien plus riche encore, d'abord par une éspèce de sécurité qu'éprouvent les américains dans leur pays, ou, d'après eux les choses semblables sont impossibles et parceque votre pays possedent 5 millions des étrangers, parmi lesquels ils a pas mal des "touristes", déjà arrivés dans le pays.--

Il me semble que j'ai démesurement augmenté cet chapitre de mon court séjour à Rio, n'oubliez pas que la question de cette nature est la plus importante pour nous qui ont fui de l'Europe et de l'emprise des allemands. Quand on se décide de rester dans un pays et batir de nouveau sa maison, la première chose à faire est de d'examiner le terrain à quel degré il est solide et surtout s'il y en ait des sourrants souterrains qui peuvent rapidement ou à la longue miner et faire ecorouler votre édifice érigé avec tant des soins. Il me semble que l'on peut batir ici sans crainte, à moins que les boches ne gagnent la guerre, et alors il n'y aurait plus un coins de la terre ou on pourrait vivre libre et tranquille. Comme je n'admet pas cette éventualité je crois que le Brésil la psychologie sympathique naturelle des ses habitants sont immunis pour longtemps à la peste antitémique.--

Nous avons donc décidé de commencer la "construction", mais il nous manque pas mal des chses, le ciment, et en général tous les matériaux de construction, et surtout la possibilité de vivre pendant le temps intercalaire de cette construction, mais du moment que l'embiance s'y prête on en sortirait...

Vous me ferez sensiblement plaisir, après lecture de la presente de donner en communication la presente lettre à mes enfants, car il me difficile de la repeter et reproduire et avec cela ils connaîtront aussi mes impressions au Brésil.

Bien des amitiés à toute votre famille et au plaisir de vous lire aussi
