S j Mental Condition Checked in Study of Crash Causes By ROBERT J. SERLING UPI Aviation Editor Washington - (UPII - How much of a role does mental stress play in air crashes? The mental and emotional condition of a pilot is one of the factors examined in an accident investigation. But un less a pilot has been know ingly consulting a psychiatrist, psychologist or doctor, or has appeared openly disturbed to his colleagues, emotional stress is tough to pin down as a possible contributing fac tor. An accident report publish ed in the current issue of Army Aviation Digest under- 1 ; L u 1 Tt ln,.n1nD IIUKO lilt: piuuicui. 11 iinmtco a fatal helicopter crash in which the pilot was a veter an with 2,000 hours in "chop pers" - and a host of person al problems. The accident itself was caused primarily by engine failure. But the report noted that the pilot made no ef fort to avert disaster. In par ticular, he failed to go into "autorotation" which would have given his rotor blades enough speed to land with out mishap. Unfit to Fly The report, which did not Identify the pilot victim, delved deeply into his per. sonal life. It quoted at length from an analysis by a flight surgeon who said the pilot was unfit to fly before he took off on the fatal flight, His personal problems, the report continued, mainly con cerned a divorce in which both children were put In the wife's custody. She remar ried and was subsequently divorced twice more, creating worry In the pilot's mind about his children's welfare. Just before' the accident, he attempted a reconciliation and was rebuffed. The flight surgeon said the pilot's personal difficulties affected his military duties to such an extent that he was reprimanded several times. His sleeping habits were known to be poor and an au topsy revealed that he had not eaten lunch or breakfast before the crash. Fatigue and inadequate diet, the flight sur geon wrote, were contribut ing factors as well as worry and emotional upset. Manial Cause The report said one of two mental states may have been involved when the accident occurred. The first was ordi nary day-dreaming which the flight surgeon described as "temporary mental withdraw al from reality." He compar ed it to what commonly oc curs among automobile driv ers when they suddenly real ize they have not really seen anything passing by for sev eral minutes. The second mental stale was a possible suiciae im pulse. The flight surgeon said he did not intend to sug gest that the pilot "wilfully failed to take appropriate ac tion In an emergency." But he said the man's emotional condition, plus fatigue and poor diet, "Indicate a lower ing of the normal self-pre- servatory urges to the point where he would be incapable of fighting off any suicidal impulses that occurred." It would be logical to as sume that the average mili tary pilot would be subject ed to greater emotional strains than the average airline pilot But even in civil aviation, mental stresses have long concerned air safety experts as a possible hidden factor in some crashes. In the files of the Civil Aeronautics Board (CAB), there is one fatal crash blam ed directly on a pilot's "pre occupation resulting from mental stress." The case in volved a DC3 which hit a mountain while approaching Charlottesville, Va. All three crew members and 23 of 24 passengers were killed in the crash, which the CAB said resulted from a navigation error. But the CAB noted that the captain had been undergoing "Intensive psychiatric treat ment" for several years pre ceding and right up to the accident, including use of tranquillizers. The board said he was "so heavily burdened with mental and emotional problems that he should have been relieved of the strain of flight duty while under going treatment for his con dition." The pilot's colleagues vigor ously protested the CAB's findings. They produced testi mony from pyschiatrists who had treated the captain, each denying the pilot was emo tionally unfit to fly. The "in tensive" treatment cited by the CAB, one doctor added, was nothing more than rou tine marriage counseling. Whether this accident was one actually involving a pi lot's mental stress is a mat ter for debate. Nevertheless, the subject is one that has received little attention in civil aviation medicine. Recently, the Federal Avi ation agency did issue a guide on pilot use of tranquillizers, sedatives, stimulants and oth er drugs. The study was the direct result of the Charlottes ville crash although there was evidence that the pilot in this case discontinued the use of tranquillizers at least 40 days before the accident. ' The CAB at the time also called for a study by the FAA, the aviRtion Industry and the medical profession on the ef fects of mental and emotion al strains on pilot proficiency. Some work is being done in the field, as the Army re port indicates, but some ex perts would like to see a full- scale effort. There is, for example, mounting evidence that fa tigue is becoming a prevalent problem among jet pilots. American Airlines recently reduced maximum monthly flight hours from 85 to 75 in a move that probably will be followed throughout the in dustry. And fatigue could be the accident - causing cata lyst in a pilot burdened with personal problems. how do you answer the hunger in a child's eyes, if he lives thousands of miles away?

(UPI) Combination of Antithetic Traits Noted in Japanese (Editor's note: Following ' is a dispatch from Fred Lorish, son of Mr. and Mrs. Fred L. Lorish, Medford. Young Lorish is living in Japan with Don Kondo. an exchange student who lived in the Lorish home three years ago. Young Lorish is a student in the Keio university-Stanford university exchange program.) By FRED LORISH Undoubtedly, the most am azing facet of the Japanese character is its combination of antithetic traits. This "anti- thetic-ness" causes more frus trations, confusion, and prob lems for the Western mind (at least this is true of this one) than does ' any other phase of Japanese life. The Japanese might well be termed the most energetic race on earth - her amazing advance from the industrial- less nation of less than 100 years ago to her present place in the family of na tions certainly bears this out. And yet, the people are of ten given to meditation and introspection. They are fam ed for their ability to adopt various facets of other cul tures, including social, fam ily, religious, moral, indus trial, and political systems. But these, after being adopted, are not the same as the original form. Japai took Buddhism from India a religious philosophy of in tricate ritual and abstruse metaphysics - but after find ing a better method of gain ing salvation (please note that this is a Western term the Orienal word that should use in this context can not be directly translated into English: perhaps a better word to use would be enlight enment," but even this miss es the point,) the Japanese threw aside the metaphysi cal Indian form. New Form Noted This new form was, and is, Zen Buddhism. There are other sects of Buddhism in existence in Japan, but they have no affinity with Indian, or even Chinese, Buddhism. The Chinese Confucianism was so adapted that it made Japan a unified nation, some thing that China was never able to do until the advent of Communism which de nounces Confucianism. The democracy and busi ness practices of the West were readily adopted, but the similarity is really in name only. '.' one could see or read of Uje fights among the socialists and the conserva tives in Japan's National Diet (in fact, there was at one time a gun battle between two of them) or see the bu reaucracy within Japanese in dustry and business, he would undoubtedly wonder if these forms actually came from the West. (But then, I often wonder what the Greek phil osophers who devised the theories of democracy would think of Senator Morse's Senate "talkathons.") They often combine great spiritual and physical strength and tenacity of pur pose with pliancy and a great willingness to compromise. As a national group they are self-assertive and aggressive, given to periodic surges of nationalism and patriotism, and yet, as individuals, they are restrained, and lack, for the most part, individuality (though this trait is presently changing due to the influence of the West). Rice Producing Country What accounts for these antithetical characteristics? Part of the answer lies in the fact that Japan is a rice producing country. Inasmuch as the production of rice can not be mechanized (since the land plots arc too small), the growing and harvesting of this crop is monotonous and back-breaking toil. Thus, in order for the crop to suc ceed every year, the Japan ese became a very farsighted, steady, patient and industri ous people out of necessity. Further, the high yield of rice made (and still does make) It possible for the land to support a large population, and for this reason the group complex developed and in dividualism was suppressed. Japan is also an island na tion, separated from the main land of Asia. This, of course, aided her in that her separ ateness prevented attack from foreign elements, and as a result, Japan was able to develop her own culture. But at the same time, she was close enough to adopt and adapt, and profit from, the cultural advances made on the Asian continent. The Japanese are, further, a conglomeration of differ ent racial stocks - in fact, there are five main ones: the Caucasian Ainu, two Mongo loid groups, and a Malay-Negrito mixture. Each, of course, had certain character- the social and climatical con ditions of both their original areas and the diverse climat ical conditions in the Japan ese archipelago. Also, within the past 100 years, the Jap anese nation has changed irom a predominately food gathering social to that of a food-producing one-each fos tering opposite characteris tics. Many people have realized that the "way of the West" is indeed fallible, and have thus turned to the East to find an answer to the intel lectual and spiritual void the Western culture has produced (though this is an individual problem that far from every one faces). They hope to find "Truth" by using a different way of thinking - but the truth seems to be that "Truth" does not exist in either cul ture. Japan is a good exam ple of a nation that has profit ed greatly from using the best of both systems, though istics that developed from she is far from being an ideal Court Records MEDFORD MUNICIPAL COURT Doris Lorraine Hassman. dis obeyed traffic signal. $10. tiennem wayne uorum, latmre to obtain Orenon license.
