Survey Strikes at War Profits;

Creation of Vitamin E De

Chemists Now Checking

Link, if Any, Between Diet and Sterility.

By Science Service MILWAUKEE, Wis, Sept. 8— With the synthesis of the antisterility Vitamin E now an accomplished fact, science stands on the threshold of being able to prove one way or the other whether certain kinds of human and animal sterility can be cured by feeding this Vitamin BE in the diet.

At the meetings of the American

Chemical Society here today, meth-

ods used in the laboratory creation |

of this important vitamin were de-

scribed in a report by members of |

the University of Minnesota's chemistry department. Vitamin E is the factor in the diet whose absence has been proved to

cause sterility in experimental aniIt was originally |

mals, such as rats. discovered by Dr. Herbert M. Evans, of the University of California, in research begun some 16 years ago.

Seek Relation to Man

Ever since the initial discovery of Vitamin E there has been much research seeking definite proof that the absence of this vitamin caused sterility in the larger, domesticated animals, and even in man. Through the years studies with animals have shown evidence pro and con for this view. And there has grown up the suspicion, not yet confirmed clinically, that Vitamin E—the so-called “essence of fertility”—might aid certain of human sterility also. With the goal of better breeding in farm animals and fowls and the prospect of babies for childless fam-

ilies before them, scientists, throuzh- |

out the world, have been seeking to synthesize Vitamin E. With pure, concentrated supplies of Vitamin E coming from the chemical laboratories, clinical and biological tests could be carried out on a wide scale to clear up, once for all, these hitherto controversial but vital questions,

Source Is Minute

The natural source of the fertility |

vitamin—wheat germ oil—was a hampering factor in this fundamental research because the amount of vitamin present was minute and contaminated, naturally, with the other products of the grain. Early in the present year the Swiss scientist, Dr. P. Karrer, and

4 BURGLARIES,

HOLDUP PROBED

‘Three Suspects Held; Cash,

Jewelry Taken; Recover Missing Fan Blades.

A holdup and four burglaries in which bandits obtained more than $650 in cash, jewelry and other atrticles were investigated by police today. Police held two men on vagrancy charges as suspects in the holdup of Edward Watson, 65, living at a downtown hotel. Mr. Watson told officers he was walking on Illinois | St. near St. Clair St. last night when two men came out of an alley. said one of them seized him while the other removed a case containing 81 from his pocket. Accused of the theft of aluminum | fan blades valued at $350 from the Schwitzer-Cummins Co., sachusetts Ave, William Moss, 26, of 1319 Massachusetts Ave. was held on a charge of grand larceny. Police said they recovered the fan blades at a junk yard. A burglar who broke into the home of Mrs. Carol E. Brown, 1421 N. Alabama St., took $18 in cash and a ring, watch and purse valued at $131, police were told. Jewelry valued at $10 and $22 in cash were stolen from the home of { Miss Dora Hope, 29 S. LaSalle St, she reported. | Miss Myrtie Barnett, 807 E. 24th St., told police she left her purse containing $2 and a diamond ring | valued at $125 in a drug store booth | and when she returned five minutes later it was gone.

Opinion Varies on How U. S. Can Avoid Conflict, Psychologists Told.

By Science Service COLUMBUS, O., Sept. 8-—Men who have actually seen fighting service have little faith in preparedness as a means for keeping America out of war. Taking the profits out of war would be more effective, they think, a public opinion survey conducted in Ohio and Georgia, and reported here this morning at the meeting of the American Psychological Association, revealed. War is blamed, popularly, on four causes—economic rivalries, national imperialism, munitions makers, and political leaders desiring power, it was discovered by Dr. Ross Stagner of the University of Akron, psychologist who conducted the survey. But people are less agreed on methods to keep us out of future war. Only two proposals—taking | the profits out of war, and the [united action of workers, farmers

€ land consumers by strikes, boycotts

or similar measures—were indorsed by more than half of those inter- | viewed. Differ on Preventives

Pacifists and militarists may agree about the causes of war, although

| there is a slight leaning on the part | of militarists toward blaming over-

( population, fighting instincts and

| love of adventure. But on the pos[sible preventives they | widely. | Militarists would keep America jout of war by complete military | preparedness. They would rely on [ neutrality laws. : | Pacifists would first have united | action in strikes and boycotts. Next they would take the profits out of war and resort to the League of Nations, socialism, appeal of the

{ churches, business recovery and dip-

| lomatic agreements, The preparedness group has much

: | policy diverge |

more unanimity of opinion than has the other more pacifistic groups.

“Perheys,” commented Dr. Stage ner, “this explains their effective lobbying.” Men with fighting experience are somewhat more cautious in naming the causes of war than those who have not. But 82 per cent would rely on abolishing war profits as a means of prevention as against only 29 per cent who think preparedness would be effective and only 4 per cent who indorse national isolation.

Labor and business are at opposite poles in the measures they would advocate for preventing wars. Labor would abolish war profits, and rely on neutrality legislation, socialism, and an isolation policy. Business thinks business recovery would do the trick and wants preparedness, If you are thinking of preparing antiwar propaganda, Dr. Stagnher recommends two slogans that his study revealed would really be effective. They are: “Take the profits out of war.” “United action.” Rank and file members of a labor union may be without any crystallized public opinion even about a matter of extreme importance to them personally, Dr. Douglas MecGregor of the Industrial Relations Section, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, told the meeting of the American Psychological Association.

Questionnaire Cited

A questionnaire gathered anonymously from members of a C. I. O. union, all employed by the ‘same company, revealed a complete lack of unified opinion in the group concerning either the company’s layoff policy or the treatment they

Ambiguity may make for peace under such circumstances, Dr. Mc=Gregor found. In this case there were inconsistencies between the printed and practiced policy of the company, and the union policy was he said. The ambiguous not only acted to prevent united opposition of the workers toward the company but also served to prevent friction within the union, he declared. Chronic alcoholics are not typically the spoiled children of indulgent parents, the American Psy- | chological Association learned from the report of Dr. Phylli Wittman, Elgin State Hospital of Elgin, Ill Study of the personality and history of 100 patients suffering from chronic alcoholism revealed a composite picture of this type of in-

dividual, which Dr. Wittman described for the meeting. A domineering mother who insisted on things being done her way and a stern, autocratic father whom the patient feared as a child, were part of the picture. The alcoholic has a feeling of insecurity, an insistent feeling of need for religious security and a strong sense of sin and guilt, Dr. Wittman said. Sell-confident, go-getter types of men do not always make the best salesmen. But many successful salesmen do develop an aggressive, selfreliant attitude as a result of their success, Dr, Arthur W. Kornhauser of the University of Chicago declared today in discussing modern methods of scientific personality judging. Con Latest findings in this field were the subject of debate in a symposium of the American Association of Applied Psychologists of which Dr. Kornhauser was chairman, No simple objective test now exists which will tell an employer whether the man he is hiring is honest or industrious or a good salesman, psychologists agree. Measurement of character must be conducted in a roundabout way by means of questionnaires and records of the man’s job and personal history.
