For Officers NCOs
The new instruction is expected
to qualify line officers and NCOs
to detect and treat men who are
suffering from temporary combat
exhaustion saving them from need­
less evacuation as neuropsychiatry
cases. This is expected to conserve
manpower by reducing time lost
from combat fatigue.
Maj. Gen. George F. Armstrong
Army Surgeon General has an­
nounced publication of a compre­
hensive directive governing Army
neuropsychiatry treatment policies.
It describes techniques for the

The unit's day-room was com­

Using the hobby-craft shop and
scrap lumber the men hand

The patients have refinished

WASHINGTON (AFPS) Psy­

ment of the Army has announced.
psychiatric cases before they actu­
ally break down and for treatment
of simple combat exhaustion.
CONFER FREQUENTLY
Maladjustments or poor motiva­
tion on the part of basic trainees
will result in frequent conferences
between the individual trainee his
NCOs and commissioned officers.
If his condition doesn't improve
he may be transferred to another
squad or platoon or be referred to
the mental hygiene consultation
service at one of 16 basic training
and replacement centers in the
U. S. Teams of psychiatrists so­
cial workers and technicians then
take over.
Because of this preliminary
screening soldiers who enter
combat may be considered as
psychiatrically and emotionally
ready for combat.
CASES SINGLED OUT
Officers and NCOs who are
trained in the early detection of
combat exhaustion cases can sin­
gle out the comparatively few men
in the battle zone who are border­
line cases or who have not been
noted previously as emotional un­
fit.
Recruits at basic training and
replacement centers may also re­
ceive formal one-hour lectures in
psychiatry.
Army officials estimate that at
least 60 per cent of the soldiers
evacuated for psychiatric reasons
are treated at battalion aid sta­
tions and returned to full duty.
Fifty per cent of those being evacu­
ated as far as the division clearing
station are returned to units after
early treatment.
Reports from Korea indicate
that 84 per cent of all personnel
with true neuropsychiatric difficul­
ties evacuated in Korea are re­
turned to some form of duty in
Korea or Japan.

Party Entertainers

Co. of Reserve Command at North
Fort Hood can boast its own dance
band. It consists of Pvts. Ed
Lautenschlager on piano Paul Mc­
Coy on guitar Albert Hamady on
the drums and PFC. Floyd Hes­
son on the bass.
The history of their combo is
typical of the easy comradeship
musicians have. Wherever a man
with musical talent goes his in­
strument and ability are a pass­
port to friends and society.
The 19th Co. was planning to
have a party and to make the
cost as easy as possible they

THE COMMENDATION RIBBON with Metal Pendant was
awarded to WOJG Glenn A. Merriman (right) last Wednesday by
Brig. Gen. Alfred E. Kastner acting commander of Fort Mood
and the 1st Armored. Now assigned to the Adjutant Generals
section WOJG Merriman was given the award for outstanding
service while with the 1st Field Artillery Observation Bn. in Korea
from January 1952 to November 1953. He and his wife Doris live
at Fort Hood. (U. S. Army Photo by Tornese).

company to provide entertain- tet of Cincinnati. He has written

prise when these four marched
up and volunteered music song
and dancing in one package.
KEPT FINGERS NIMBLE
Lautenschlager who is more or
less spokesman for the crew is
an Ohioan. He attended Wooster
College there and studied busi­
ness and economics. However he
kept his fingers nimble playing
in his own dance band at night
clubs around Ohio.

Coy who is a tenor vocalist for-

Belton
sentimental tune called "Forever
More" was recorded by the Fla­
mingoes on a Hilltop label and is
currently being touted by disc­
jockeys in Cincinnati and Dayton
The guitar that Paul strums has
been an important accessory to
his singing for a long time. But
this is the first time he has played
it as part of a band.
SITTIN' IN
Drummer A1 Hamady is from
Barnesboro in western Pennsyl­
vania. For seven years he has
been supporting himself as a pro­
fessional musician. Whatever the
occasion called for him and his
band The Silvertones they could
play it. Be it bop pop or Polish
polka they were ready to give out.
He found no difficulty sittin' in
with this hasty group at the 19th.
Overwhelming the guitar past
the tinkle of the piano and run­
ning right through the drums is
the steady pound of the bass. Slap­
ping the rhythm for this as yet
untitled band is Hesson.
BUSY IN KOREA
Floyd is the ony genuine ama­
teur in the group. He has had
lessons on the guitar two years in
the Army but many months as
a rifleman in Korea gave him
little time to practice. When the
call went out for a bass man
he seized the big fiddle by the
neck and manfuly strummed away.
The future of this combo is a
little uncertain. But given the
opportunity they plan to play to­
gether often and see just how
many sounds they can make. They
all agree that playing in the band
is good for a lot of kicks and
they are waiting on other com­
pany parties to grab some more.
When the United States bought
Alaska from Russia in 1867 it is
estimated that there were about
30000 people in the area about
two-thirds of whom were Eskimos
and Indians.
