Pelain Says France
Recognizes Duly in
War-Tortured World
Vichy, Unoccupied France,
Jan. 1. (P) Marshal Petaln
asked Germany today to bear
in mind that France is the only
great power remaining outside a
conflict which has put "the
planet In flames," but that
France "recognizes her duty to
ward Europe."
This came In a New Year's
message broadcast to the French
nation by the aged chief of state
who .described his own status
as "partial exile" presumably
a reference to the divided status
of France, occupied and unoccu
pled.
Petaln said that he was al
lowed only "half liberty" but
that under the circumstances he
was trying to do his best He
admitted to the Frencn people
that "the government which
picked up the heritage of de
feat cannot claim to be always
getting your support."
He expressed hope for relaxa
tion of Germany's armistice
terms "so that France's dignity
can be restored."

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

the baseball season rolls around
the situation will have Improved
to such an extent that we can
operate on a normal basis," Tut

"We are 'eady, of course, to
do anything that the government
wants, anything that may help.
But we think the Japs will be

that Japanese, attackers on the
Philippine island of Luzon were
so near Manila that the sounds
of gunfire could be heard in
the streets of the capital.
An army communique on the
operation of Japanese bombers
in waters around the Philip
pines and Malaya since Decr--ber
28 claimed that a subma
rine was sunk, two steamers of
3,000 tons each were destroyed
and a direct bomb hit was
scored on a destroyer.
Most of these aerial attacks
were In the Strait of Malagca,

Singapore in successive raids
Monday and Tuesday nights as
well as at the Klang-port Swet

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.
That is the primary purpose
of the "heart oxygenator," de
veloped at the University of
Minnesota by Dr. Victor Lorber,
physiology instructor who hopes
the unit will "determine the
chemical changes and causes of
heart failure."
Dr. Lorber uset a living heart,
taken from an animal, and
places it in a glass bowl, sub
merged in water heated to body
temperature. 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.
