SPEEDILY EASED London (ll.R) Despite the nightly blitz, shell shock, as it used to be called, is much less frequent In this war than it was in the last, according to a gov ernment psychiatrist. Experience gained In the Spanish civil war, wnich pro duced 10 times the number of neurosis cases in the same period, has helped the ministry of health and London county council to combat cases of civi lian bomb shock and shelter neurosis. At the beginning of the war a nationwide network of "mind" hospitals was organized where victims receive immediate treat ment for these neuroses before the trouble becomes deep-seated. It has been found that one frequent cause of war neurosis is the fear of being thought to be afraid. This condition also Is brought about by a series of ! minor worries caused by the i war a feeling of Insecurity, I breaking up of family life ex acting work In difficult circum ! stances and living and traveling ! inconveniences. I Research has shown that those who are engaged in useful If itf urn ii im iiiKrtmiii dangerous and exacting work 'are far less prone to war neur osis than those who are idle during an air raid. A campaign is being conducted in the Para district of Brazil to purchase planes for civilian pilot training, the Department of Com merce says. MtiMO TO ADVERTISERS A A. B. C.

FACTS AS A MEASURE OF T FOR RESEARCH Minneapolis, Minn. UP) An "isolated" heart housed in a water-heated glass bowl and pumping blood through glass ar teries and rubber veins may provide scientists with some def inite clues to the causes of heart failure.

Connected to the bowl are rubber veins and glass arteries and two cylinders, which serve as lungs. The blood passes through the system in much the same way the human circulatory system functions and the "oxygenator" provides scien tists with a "closeup" of the heart in operation. To keep the heart beating for several hours. Dr. Lorber's unit employs a cylinder which takes out carbon .dioxide and allowa the heart to absorb oxygen. ROUGH IN ARMY Camp Bowie, Brownwood, Tex.
