(ACP) Inadequate sight-testing meth ods are responsible for a larm iiuiuuci v4. 1 rjtt nui lis 1U1 SflVlCe in the navy and army, states Dr. Robert D. Loken, psychologist at ine university 01 L-aiuornia. "Much of the present 15 per- : cent total loss of the navy and I the 12 percent loss of the army through rejections could be ob viated by junking the defective Stilling and Ishihara tests for ' color blindness. The German and Japanese charts have been re sponsible for letting in many men 01 aeieciive vision ana Darrmg as many more who should be in ducted into the nation's service. Overlooks Many. , "The Ishihara test, for example. detects small defects in color " vision and totally overlooks many serious ones." -Dr. Loken has been engaged in experiments with vitamin A to relieve color blindness, in associa tion with Dr. Knight Dunlap, pro- fessor of psychology. He states experiments show that beneficial results accrue in more than 80 percent of the cases. Retain Improvement. "Those who improve rapidly as a rule retair their improvement."' says Dr. Loken. "The slow ones , are not so apt to hold their gain. These apparently have some defi nite lack of vitamin efficiency." Approximately 100 cases have been followed by Dr. Loken. He believes examiners of the army and navy still consider color vision a constant factor. ocie BY MARYLOUISE GOODWIN. We just slipped (we do mean slipped) in from a class that wasn't.
