Page 12 THE KEY WEST CITIZEN Information Gathered On Predetermining Effectiveness Of Untried Troops In Battle WASHINGTON (#—Psychologists working in the front lines in Korea have gathered information that may aid in predetermining combat effectiveness of untried troops, an Army psychologist has stated. Dr. Joel T, Campbell said that while the data have fot yet been fully analyzed, it represents the first “‘collection of on-the-spot cri- teria of combat performance.” Thus, he told a reporter, when it is fully analyzed it could con- ceivably be used in training areas to select men most likely to give high caliber performance under fire. Hitherto, he said, scientific re- search on combat effectiveness has been limited to studies made of men in training camps, on man- euvers, or under simulated combat conditions. Suggestions that it be done in combat areas during World War II were turned down by the Army for fear of interfering with combat operations. Dr. Campbell made the state- ments in an interview, amplifying a report made late Tuesday to the 60th annual meeting of the Ameri- ‘ean Psychological Association.

Dr. Campbell made the state- ments in an interview,amplifying a report made late Tuesday to the 60th annual meeting of the Ameri- can Psychological Association. He reported that a team of eight researchers, including four Army officers, had obtained information ‘on 5,000 men in three infantry regiments in Korea, including one | jiciou: regiment on the ftont line, although in a “less active” area. The two other regiments were in reserve areas, but all men had been under fire at some time. The researchers enlisted the aid of noncommissioned officers to get | ratings on “aggressiveness and overall value in combat” of their men. Biographical, personality and training-camp records of the same men also were acquired for pur- poses of possible relationship to | theit combat effectiveness as rated by the noncoms. Also, certain physical proficiency tests—such as the motion of hurl- ing a grenade—were given. Finally, the men were subjected to experimental aptitude tests, de- signed to serve as “predictors of combat success.” The idea of the latter tests was to compare results with actual com bat ratings in order to see whether such tests would be valid for use in predicting combat effectiveness of still untried troops. In the rating procedures by the noncoms, the troops were scored on such things as “whether they carried the fight to the enemy, just went along with the rest, or tended to lag behind,” Dr. Camp- bell said.

A tightening of the law to pre- vent Communists from holding union jobs or offices also was rec- ommended by the Senate’s inter- nal security subcommittee in a re- port on its investigation of the Dis- |tributive, Processing, and Office Workers of America (DPOWA), an independent union. The subcommittee made public sworn testimony in which the pres- }ident of the union, Arthur Osman, Brooklyn, N. Y., and a number of other top officials were identi- fied as Communists. Osman refused to answer when asked if he ever had been a Com- munist, invoking his constitutional privilege against possible self-in- crimination. Other’ officers of the er they are or ever were members of the Communist Party. The DPOWA, with some 65,000 members, was formed in October, 1950. When Osman was asked if | meetings leading to its organiza- tion took place in Communist Par- ty headquarters, he declined to answer, The hearings shoved that Osman and others identified in the testi- mony as Communists had signed BAKERITE FACTORY PACKED MIL COFFEE union also balked at saying wheth- | ARMOUR’S EVAPORATED Call Labor Union Kremlin-Controlled; . Threaten Perjury Action the non-Communist affidavits re- quired by the Taft-Hartley Law to make the union eilgitle for cer- tification as a bargaining agent by the National Labor Relations Board. The subcommittee recommended that a copy of its hearings, con- ducted mostly behind closed doors, |be turned over to the attorney general so that he could determine whether prosecution of these offi- cers for perjury. would be war- ranted. The non-Communist affidayits of the Taft-Hartley Law require a union official to swear only that he is not a Communist at the time he signs. He could legally sign the affidavit and still have been a Communist the day before and the next day. The Justice Department has con- ' —$—<—$— tended that because of this the provision is ineffective. In a statemen’ accompanying the subcommittee report, Sen. Mc- Carran, the subcommittee chair- man_~said the DPOWA “thas ad- vanced the Communist cause in many ways” and also has “be- come rich and powerful by prey- ing on the gullibility of Negro workers and the fear and help- lessness of small businessmen.” fall brought out that about 95 per cent of the 1,100 members of the union’s local there were Negroes.
