TOLAST 4 DAYS

® You Deserted Port Is e Scene of Exchange of 3000 Wounded.

By JOHN PARRIS United Press Staff Corresponient

NEW HAVEN, England, Oct. 3.—] | A truce descended on the English:

Channel this afterngon—a strange peace that will continue until Tues-

‘day when exchange of 3000 British

and .German war wounded will be

completed. Two great hospital ships—the St. Julian and the Dinard—flying the . flag “of International Red Cross, - rode at anchor in this South Coast

port. . The last boom of guns along the § un darn shore sounded shortly x after noon. Over the land there twas a quietness reminiscent of the .days when peaceful commerce and # vasiness was the major interest of the English Channel.

No Planes in the Sky

No planes of the Royal Air Force or the German Luftwaffe were seen in the skies this afternoon nor were there warships visible on the Channel waters. Dow across the British countryside came trains carrying hundreds of German war prisoners—1500 will be exchanged in return for an equal number of British prisoners. They - lack arms, legs or eyes and are so badly wounded they cannot be combatants in this or any war. »- Some time about dusk—the hour when the residents of this town usually draw their blackout curtains

an

and shut out all light in fear of > Nazi bombing planes — the loads of wounded will draw in begide the docks and start discharging their human cargo.

Town Still Deserted

New Haven showed no unusual signs. There were no flags, no - gathering of crowds. The town was just as it has been since the start of the war—virtually deserted. New Haven was unaware that it would: play a part in the exchange until the two hospital ships docked at mid-morning. - “There will be a lot of rejoicing _{n Britain this week-end,” one blond innkeeper said when he heard what was in prospect. “Many mothers’ hearts will burst with joy. It's going to be some sight to see our boys

coming home.”

INSANITY 1S EASED BY ELECTRIC SHOCK

MERIDIAN, Miss, Oct. 3 (U. P.).—The use of shock by electricity for insane patients largely has replaced the treatment with metrazol and insulin with better results “in the East Mississippi State Hospital, reports Dr. J. S. Hickman,

superintendent. The machine used resembles a small portable radio. Electrodes that look like a head-phone set are fitted across the patient’s head at the temples. The patient lies on‘an ordinary hosiptal examination table which is insulated and padded. Electrode jelly is rubbed into his temples to stimulate blood circulation, and gauze moistened with a saline solution covers the electrodes to perfect contact. Experience in the hospital indicates that 70 Volts generally produces the desired convulsion in onetenth of a second. Physicians say the patient returns to normal in less than a

# minute. He is said to suffer no pain

during the treatment and no after‘effect. “Immediate improvement has been shown by all patients on whom the treatment has been used,” Dr. Hickman said.

GERMANY REVIVES MOONLIGHT RAIDING

LONDON, Oct. 3 (U. P.).—Thousands of anti-aircraft ‘guns blazed for hours during the night along a B50-mile stretch of the eastern ans southeastern coasts of Scotland and England at German planes which, taking advantage of a brilliant waxing hunter's moon made their greatest raid in nearly five months. The harvest mooon last month rad passed without incident. Now the Germans had started to attack in force, as a retort to Winston Churchill’s statement that they had been weakened in the air or in retaliation for punishing British raids on Germany. Two towns took the brunt of the night’s attacks, one in northeastern England (the Germans mentioned Newcastle), the other on the southeast English coast. . So daring were individual German raiders that one swept low over the main street of the coast town and fired his cannon along it. Over the southeast town dived into furious gun fire to blast homes and business premises. They dived in relays in three separate raids. Ten persons were known killed and 59 wounded.
