(continued to page four)
Speech defects caused from brain injuries received on the battle fronts will cause a major problem in the post-war world, said Dr. Martin Palmer of the Institute of Logopedics at the University of Wichita, yesterday in a speech before the Psychology Club.
Research for corrections of this type of speech defect has not been adequate to date. Dr. Palmer stated. As each case must be treated in respect to its particular characteristics, a greater problem is created.
The field of the diagnosis and treatment of speech defects is a relatively new one, especially in regard to defects (sed from brain injuries, he said, and many more people are needed to conduct experiments and research.

It added however, that as yet no details of the fighting have been received. The Swiss radio reported that the Allies had gained almost four miles in the first few hours of fighting.
The sky blows against Hitler Europe from the west by daylight followed a 1000-plane RAF night attack.

Only three bombers and three fighters were lost.
