bor people, S. S. Sorokin, now resi-
dent in Montevideo, Uruguay,
wrote a long rambling letter (since

published in booklet form) to Col.
F. J. Mead of the RCMP.

We are not particularly inter-
ested in the “religious” or other
views of such opportunists as Soro-

kin, but there were a few para-
graphs in his letter about “bomb-
ings” and the individuals respon-
sible which would bear public in-
vestigation. These paragraphs sug-
gested that the old technique of
provocation and “frame-up’ by
others than Doukhobors in col-

laboration with law-enforcement of-

ficers is again being used for ulter-
ior ends.

Covetous eyes are on the lands
and properties of the Doukhobor
people; and the “policy” of the
Socred government apparently is
not to allow the Doukhobors to de-
part in peace. That would be too
much of a black eye for our “demo-

cratic” way of life.

So well-tried methods of terror,
intimidation and frame-up are
again resorted to and the Douk-
hobor Sons of. Freedom. are’ at-
tacked through their dearest pos-
session — their children. The.
monopoly press, ever ready to serve
the interests of its paymasters, be-
smirches that which it pretends to
hold “sacred,” the right of a peo-
ple to their families and their faith.

Soviet Republics has offered them,

F IT IS DISTURBING to know

that U.S. nuclear bombers are
ranging cver Canadian territory
at will with their death-dealing
certainly doesn’t
ears to know that

cargoes, it

lessen those f
two out of every three U.S. Air
Force pilots at the controls are

declared “mentally unstable.”
This startling disclosure was
made recently by Dr. Frank B.
Berry, U.S. assistant secretary
of defense (health and medicine),

in a letter addressed to U.S. De-

fense Secretary Neil McElroy.

A copy of this “highly confi-
dential” letter was first: publish-
ed by the German Socialist
Unity party paper, Neus Deutch-
land, and later carried in the Lon-

don Daily Worker and other

papers.
Since the commercial monopoly
press gave this letter the full
blackout treatment, it may be
presumed that our “free” press

doesn’t consider an_ incipient
lunatic at the controls of an H-
bomb laden bomber as being

?

“news.

Following are a few excerpts
from Dr. Berry’s letter to his
chief at- Washington:

‘J wish to inform ‘you that
the medical examination carried
out in accordance with your in-
structions of all United States
Air Force Officers and airmen
stationed overseas and in the in-
ternal zone has been completed.

“According to the estimates
made by a group of experts, 67.3
percent of ali crew members that
have undergone the examination
suffer from psychoneurosis. It is
an impressive figure and cannot
fail to cause alarm.

“Most striking in general is the
condition of psychasthenia, which,
in the majority of cases, finds
its expression in excessive im-
pressionability, in actions inade-
quately controled by the subject’s
will, in.all sorts of phobias, par-
ticularly in flight phobia, as well
as hysterical syndromes and fits
of unaccountable animosity.”
(Syndromes consist of a collec-
tion of. symptoms characterizing
a particular disorder.)

Dr. Berry also points. out. to
his superiors that many of the
recent “accidents” (our quotes)

and escapades in U.S. military
aviation, are the result of “psychic
deficiency of the crew members”
rather than of mechanical or

“technical failures.”

Another point Berry makes is
highly significant, that “moral
depression is a typical condition
cf all crew members making
flights with atomic and H-bombs.”
This probably explains’ the
widely: circulated rumor that the
pilot who loosed the first A-bomb
on Hireshima is now an inmate
of a U.S. lunatic asylum ... even
if the haberdasher president who
issued the dastardly order is still
around “shooting the’ bull.”

Last month, the British press
reported a “hopped-up” Am-
erican GI “joyrider” who took
off in an unathorized’ flight with
a big U.S. B-45 bomber, and
crashed his plane-on a busy rail
line’ in Hampshire, England.
Fortunately the only casualty was
the “joyrider.”

Small wonder that last year
Americans swallowed over $150
million worth of “tranquilizers”
and “psychic energizer” pills.
That, of course, is their business,
but we’d like them kept out of
Canadian skies and off our terri-
tory meantime. An H-bomb, like
an axe, is doubly dangerous in
the hands of a lunatic.
