THE DAILY ALASKA EMPIRE— WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 23, 1944 Men in service are psychologically conditioned for the duties they are to perofrm. In months of train- ing, this factor is taken into consideration at all times. The soldier who enters the battle zone is far removed, mentally, from the lad who doffed mufti to take on the uniform of his nation. He expects and is prepared for the horrors of war. They are no more likely to have a serious effect on his mentality than would the sight of a serious and bloody automobile accident be likely to derange a normal person who happened to witness it The tales of insanity which are so common, par- ticularly among mothers whose sons are in service, are likely to stem from two sources: From observers on the home front who foolishly attempt to interpret the reactions of a soldier out of the background of their own civilian experiences, or from enemy agents who most certainly are using this method, among others, in their vain effort to undermine American civilian morale. The Crewle Bomber (New York Times) Like all the “secret weapons” of which we have heard since the outbreak of war, the radio-controlled bomber of the Germans turns out to be no secret at all. It is nothing but an enlargement of the German winged, radio-controlled rocket bomb described by Mr. Churchill last year. Like other secret weapons it has not fulfilled expectations by reducing Allied military forces to helplessness.

At the suggestion of local members of the Committee on Arrange- ments for the Third Annual Southeast Alaska Inter-School Meet, the spening date for that occurrence had been advanced to April 21, accord- ing to advices received from Supt.

Laird, well-known psychologist, minimizes the possibility that the conflict will result in widespread mental breakdown. His testi- | mony is in direct conflict with many unfounded reports which have been circulated in this country to the effect that there is a high ratio of insanity among | troops as a result of their service experiences. Dr. Laird points out, insanity is not ordinarily an immediate result of harrowing or frightening ex- periences. The mental cases which today are showing up in the armed forces—and they are comparatively few—began many years ago, according to psychological experts. Neither are war experiences, in themselves, likely to bring a wave of insanity a decade hence, they insist. Army tests are designed to weed out, immediately§ any man who shows a mental inability to withstand the rigors of Army life. This is particularly true of men who may, at any time in their service careers, be | under fire. One such man could do more to disrupt the morale of his companions than could the most devastating enemy fire. He would be a greated danger to the troops serving with him than a whole unit of enemy tanks. In order to guard against this danger, all men showing indications of mental instability are elminated from possible service. The result is that the armed forces are as mentally strong as any group erican, English and French inventors who showed how engine-driven vehicles, torpedoes and ships could be steered by radio waves with never a man on board. Both the British and American Navies maneuvered obsolete crewless battleships under full steam in Lhcl | same way and used them for target practice. Whether or not the new German bomber is as| destructive as the Germans claim, it manifests a} trend which goes back to the introduction of cannon. | Ignite gunpowder and chemical energy is released,j The mechanization of war, therefore, begins with | artillery. Every improvement in mechanical en-| | gineering has been applied in battle. Troops are; |carried to the front in trains. . Tractors have mkeni the place of horses, and steam engines the place of | sails on battleships and cruisers. Now we have tanks, | jeeps, trucks, planes—all engine-driven so that battles | are fought by machines as well as by men. And the | | machines have become and more automatic until at! {last a stage has been reached when the crewless | bomber, remotely controlled, can be launched against |ficial. be difficulties over wage scales. NATIONAL ISSUES: The flux of distinguished visitors into Wash-} ington will help to demonstrate the| fact that the United Staes will be the leading power after the war.

However, it is most enlightening to compare the tax proposals of Mr. Alvord before congressional com- mittees and those advocated by Senator George. In some cases, the wording is almost identical There is ample opportunity to make these comparisons, since Sen- ator George has contributed several tax articles to “Nation's Business,” publication of the U. 8. Chamber of Commerce. Senator George was also prevail- ed upon to address the annual meeting of the U. 8. Chamber of Commerce last April, at which his 11-point program was almost a dead ringer for the previous tax proposals of his tax-lobbying friend with the | U. 8. Chamber.
