Army Stresses Realism HIGH HURDLES. ARJfT 8TTLB? SaMtan In bajfc training at Campj iCaraao. Oslo, mud wHh riflaa and fixed bayonet*, scale a lot barrten v. a mock attack. Washington. ? The exhausted, dirty soldier wm weeping when! brought into the battalion sur geon's tent near a frontline sector. "I'm sick, doc," he said. "I can't go on, you've got to get me out of here!" A day later that same man was returned to active combat duty. Cold-blooded? Far from it. The return of this soldier just a few hours after he seemed incapable of doing his job is a tribute to the skillful treat ment by Army psychiatrists. Three Army psychiatrists at Walter Reed Army Medical Center speak with experience of .Korean service behind them when* they urge training of battalion surgeons in proper and prompt treatment of combat exhaustion cases. Major Thomas T. Glasscock stressed that front line medics must be able to decide which are inca pacitating mental difficulties and which are not. "The important thing," he said, "is that these men be prepared to give the treatment at once. In this way, the number of men lost be cause of combat exhaustion can be cut down even further than we have been able to reduce it to date. "We found that when the bat talion surgeons could kindly but firmly deal with fear reaction and combat anxiety cases, most of the men could be brought to re-acquire their confidence and control." Major Dermott A. P. Smith, Ma jor Richard L. Conde and Glass cock believe that the further from his unit the patient is, the weaker are thos* group support elements which enable him to tolerate com bat conditions. According to Conde, when treat ment at the battalion aid station shows the man that in most cases j he has no real physical disability, and an attempt is made to under stand emotional causes for his dis comfort and necessity for contin ued effort in spite of his discom fort, the neuropsyciatric rate is cut substantially. "A man has more time to con sider the case from a strictly indi vidual standpoint the further he is from the combat zone." says Conde. "Get him back where the discom forts and perils of combat seem re mote and far away, and he'll con vince himself that he can't go back." High praise for "home-maBe" therapy applied by medical corps men assigned to them was voiced by all three psychiatrists. Conde credited them with "set ting the whole stage" for therapy. "These men put up and disman tle the tents, keep the tires going, administer medication aiul do ad ministrative work,, beside* count less other jobs. They organ it e games and work details to keep the patients occupied and busy," said Conde. Smith said they regularly held meetings with the corpsmen who had been on duty during the offi cers' off hours. Their reports on attitudes and savings of the men in that time were valuable guides to methods <jf treatment, he said. Smith and Conde underlined im portance of morale factors ? dry socks, regular mail, hot food when possible, etc. ? in keeping men capable of performing active com bat duties without becoming gen uine or supposed combat exhaus tion cases. "Neuropsychiatric cases iQ a crack infantry division with good morale may be less than in a civil ian group of comparable size," said Conde. file psychiatrists further agree that many of the. cases they han dled had civilian backgrounds lead ing to emotional instability. Rare ly, they said, did a man who had a background of good emotional ad justment have to be evacuated tor combat exhaustion. "There are many reasons why a man may suffer from combat ex haustion," said Smith. "It is found that treatment of these conditions at the earliest possible moment after occurrence has resulted in the highest recovery rate." The Law Is Good, But No Money Raleigh (AP)? Part of the fine print in a new North Carolina law setting up a parole board states: "Upon release of any prisoner upon parole, the . . . warden of the institution shall provide, the pris oner with suitable clothing and. if needed, an amount of money suffi cient to purchase transportation to the place within the state where the prisoner is to reside." The law adds: "The Board of Paroles may, in its discretion, pro vide that the prisoner shall . . . receive a sum of money not to ex ceed $25." The joker, apparently overlooked by the General Assem bly, is that nobody knows who is supposed to provide the pocket change for the parolees. It is believed that the first use of the zero in arithmetic notation was in India some time before the 9th century.
