Moor United Press Correspondent Washington, Jan. 13 (U.R Seven men out of every 100 up for Induction in the army dur ing the first 11 months of 1942 were turned away as mentally unstable, likely to crack under the stresses of war. Men like them became "shell shocked" In the last war al though psychiatrists say that term was a misnomer. Returned to civilian life, most of those rejected in this war on mental grounds should continue normal lives under conditions less strenuous than combat and be spared the tragedy of neuro- ticism or Insanity. 33 Per Cent Fail Total rejections for all causes art running around 33 per cent, mental . unsuitabiiity thus ac counting roughly for 20 per cent of all rejections. The first weeding out is done by the selective service board's classification. Obviously mental ly urfit are classified 4 F. In some states boards check the names of all imminent selectees with state agencies keeping his tories of mental cases. 'This helps greatly in the Initial step of elimination. When a selectee comes up for Induction he Is given a com plete physical and psychiatric examination. A psychiatrist in few minutes will without dif ficulty recognize a majority of the men who pass before him as mentally stable. Doubtful cases get a more thorough examina tion. More than one psychiatrist examines a registrant for a double-check before he Is finally rejected. Inductees are exam ined privately by psychiatrists, the average examination lasting five or 10 minutes. Some exam- HEMORRHOIDS (Piles) ItntJi (RuBtm).

Doubt Means Out If there is any doubt of a man's mental stability he Is not accepted. The psychiatrist's Job here is to screen out all mentally unstable individuals who may not make adequate adjustment to army life. After acceptance the soldier goes to the recruit reception center for his innoculations, uni forms and classification tests. He is sized up and assigned to the Job for which he is best suited by background, experi ence and mental makeup. Per sonnel officers, trained psychol ogists, undertake to see there are no square pegs In round holes. Then the soldier goes to a replacement training center for 13 weeks' basic training. Dur ing this period qualified neuro psychiatrists practice construc tive mental hygiene. They assist individuals with correct able maladjustments, sometimes by reclassification and reassignment. For example, a gun-shy man might make a poor machine-gunner but a good cook. They detect and elimi nate mentally unstable persons whose maladjustments become apparent under the rigors of training and discipline and can not be corrected. They Indoc trinate officers on how to detect Instability, how to handle men of different personalities, and how to keep their men's minds healthily employed.

It goes on right up to combat, though the Initial train ing and readjustment Is apt to be the most critical period. Men who mentally can't stand the pace are assigned to hos pitals for treatment. Some are cured, others discharged. The discharge Is honorable If the man's record otherwise la good. If his mental illness is occurred in line of duty, ordinarily after six months' service, he is sent to a veterans' hospital to be cured or cared for. Otherwise he will be turned over to rela tives, an institute of his state. or to St. Elizabeths, a federal hospital in Washington. Discharges on mental grounds in 1942 were only 4.3 a thou sand.
