Washington, June 10 {/?)—One of the broadest hints on I|the extent to which our armed forces are coupling psychology!vith bullets is the report that our planes dropped imitation |kiri leaves on the Japanese at Attu.

The kiri is a Japanese tree the leaf of which resembles IJthat of our own catalpa. The Japanese have a superstition I•that when its leaves fall prematurely they foretell death or Iiother impending disaster. The name "kiri" sounds like the |fJapanese word for death, as in "harakiri".

WEARING SKINS THIN *~This is according to the Office

of War Information, which revealsJthat its research workers dug upI the Japanese superstition and alsoI that the paper leaves dropped onI the enemv on Attu bore a terse

advising them to surrender.Officials said there is consider-i

able promise in these tactics, par-1ticularly against the Japanese, I t 's!pointed out that the average Japa-Inese soldier is a creature of beliefs!rather than of thought or reason-!ing. He believes implicitly in hisidivine mission, his invincibility, and ||his supenority.

Some day, somewhere, it's con-1tended, there'll come a lime when!this fabric of faith will dissolve!about the ordinary Japanese sol-Idier. The kiri leaflets are prob-I.bly' only one of many little pinl

bricks which are being thrust!against his morale. <

Such psychological warfare Islpretty hush-hush around Washing*-!ton, 'but in the field it goes hancijin hand with shells and bombs andlmilitary force. It's a weapon. I t ' s!used all the time. It's used on the |Italians and on the Germans

as on the Japanese.
