SECTION ONE-: Why Do Some Men Fight When Others Quit? Army Study Os Korean Vets Gives Answer Washington—The fighting heart of a first-rate combat infantryman is backed up by a lively brain and stable emotions, a U. S. psychological study reveals. The Human Resources Research Of fice of George Washington University, ,Working under Army contract, has given the lie to the popular concep tion that brawn, not brains, is what counts on the field of battle. A .study of personality characteris tics of 310 infantrymen fresh from the line in Korea shows that fighters, ' j«w«h. Interesting, . .

In addition, the men who acquitted themselves well under enemy fire showed greater leadership potential and more masculine toughness. There was nothing haphazard about the way the researchers went about locating 165 men with good combat records and 145 ’’ineffective fighters” for their test groups.

AH had' seen action in the Christmas Hill, I 1 Kumba Valley and Porkchop areas and j knew the difference between a fighter' 1 and what the researchers dub “non i fighters.” Out of the pooled experiences of these reliable eye-witnesses emerged j the names of men finally selected for [! testing of abilities, interests and per , sonality. [ On intelligence ratings alone, the | soldiers who were in there firing when , the enemy was advancing had an av- | . erage score 14 points higher than the, non-fighters. They scored eonsidera- I bly higher also on tests designed to I measure how much military informa tion they had retained from basic training. j: Results of seven tests used to meas ure emotional stability showed the typical fighter to he a healthy, well- I adjusted person. The typical non- I fighter tends to be depressed, worries about his health and exaggera t, any symptoms he may have. As a social human being, the fight 'er is concerned about the welfare of I his fellow citizens as well as his own i family. He demonstrates a greater in- j terest in such subjects as nation-!' preparedness and reducing death by accident and disease and is tolerant of other people's beliefs. On both leadership and masculine; toughness, the good combat infantry man—to the surprise of no one—scor ed high. In addition, be was shown to be more noised, spontaneous, in dependent., sociable, adaptive and re sourceful. Tri short, the same kind of man who helped put through the new school bond issue would be a mighty handy fellow to have around when the enemy fire is heaviest. —: J Hospital Patients ( ■ r> j Patients admitted to Chowan Hos- I pital during the week November X-44 wej;e: White Edenton- Miss Mary Elizabeth Har rell.
