Inheritance Factor
Is Declared Cause
Of Schizophrenia
Genetics Congress Is Told
Genotype Is Specific
By Dr. Kallmann
By THOMAS R. HENRY,
Star Staff Correspondent.
EDINBURGH, Scotland (By Air
Mail). — Schizophrenia, dreaded
"mind-splitting" malady of youth
which now fills more hospital beds
in the United States than any other
mental disease, is carried by a single
inheritance factor from generation
to generation, according to evidence
presented to the World Genetics
Congress meeting here by Dr. Franz
J. Kallmann of New York.
He gave the preliminary results
of studies of 500 pairs of American
twins and their families in the
genetic constitution of which this
form of psychoses appeared to be
present. Up to now the inheritance
factor in schizophrenia has been
greatly complicated by the fact that
the malady takes at least four wide
ly divergent forms and, while it
runs in families, does not appear
with the regularity which would be
expected of an hereditary taint.
But the study of the twins, Dr.
Kallmann said, tends strongly to the
conclusion "that the schizophrenic
genotype is specific, autosomal and
probably single recessive and that
its manifestation is inhibited in about
one-quarter of the taint carriers by
aid of a strong constitutional re
sistance or by the back of further
dispositional factors.
The Physical Type.
The disease is chiefly, although
not exclusively found in persons of
a slender, narrow-headed physical
type and is often associated with
tuberculosis.
Dr. Kallmann's study, however,
gave no support to the hypothesis
that physical type and disposition to
the mind malady were handed down
from generation to generation as a
complex, as some psychiatrists have
maintained. It is simply, he pointed
out, a matter of less resistance in
those individuals who inherit the
schizophrenia taint and at the same
time have the proper physical struc
ture. His studies also, he said, rule
out the contention that the heredi
tary taint is most prevalent in cer
tain races or that it is in some way
induced by intermarriage of too
close relatives, even if they do not
carry the defect in their own gnrm
plasms.
Classed in the schizophrenia com
plex are the syndromes of catatonia,
in which the victim withdraws com
pletely from the outside world: an
other condition characterized by ex
treme silliness and giddiness;
paranoiac schizophrenia whose vic
tims believe enemies are working
against them and who may be very
dangerous to society; and simple
schizophrenia which is character
ized by a progressive loss of intelli
gence. Although these manifesta
tions are widely different they have
the common factors that they
usually appear in adolescence or
early adult years and that all seem
to be primarily dissociations of che
mind.
The great difference in the syn
dromes, Dr. Kallmann said, has led
some psychiatrists to the assump
tion that they may be due to four
or more different hereditary taints
The study of the 500 twin pairs, he
stressed, gives no support to this
and seems to rule it out entirely.
Not Racial Taint.
In presenting his report Dr. Kall
mann warned the geneticists and
students of human and animal be
havior gathered here from all over
the world, many of them from coun
tries where various misinterpreta
tions of genetics have been raised
almost to the status of national re
ligions, not to jump to false con
clusions on hereditary taints of dif
ferent races by over-simplifying the
interpretation of their data.
“Glorifying fatalistic or pseudo-re
ligious conceptions of heredity as ir
revocable fate,” he declared,” may be
convenient to the intolerant efficacy
of political doctrines or to the wish
ful thinking, of racial superiority
complexes, but they are as far from
scientific reality as the excessive ex
pectations of philanthropic utopian
ism attributing the better education
and happier environment alone the
spiritual power of uplifting biologi
cally inferior morons to the highest
standards of mental and physical ef
ficiency.
“From the scientific standpoint
no evidence has ever yet been pro
duced to prove that there exists an
innate privilege of a particular group
of men for racial and spiritual per
fection, or that there is a monopo
lized eugenic recipe by which to
legislate, breed or educate the better
human species desired. On the other
hand, while definite cultural advance
seems to depend on a social and
biological diversity rather than on
a colorless uniformity of mankind,
it is safe to assume that the natural
laws for the preservation of so
ciety require at least a certain sta
bilized level resistive to the dysgenic
and anti-social influences of the
most inferior and hopelessly deteri
orated family stocks.”
Condemns Sterilization.
At the same time Dr. Kallmann
! condemned the school of students
I of heredity who advocate steriliza
tion of the supposedly unfit as a
. way to get various hereditary taints
out of the world, without attempting
to get at the underlying causes. The
real goal, he stressed, "is the deter
mination of the various physiological,
constitutional and dispositional fac
tor's governing the manifestation of
hereditary predispositions.”
A formula for predicting the num
ber of twins, both identical and fra
ternal and the numbers of triplets
to be born in any given sample of
the population, based on a statis
tical analysis of 25,000.000 births in
the United States, was reported to
the congress by Drs. R. L. Jenkins
and Jane Gwin of New York.
This formula also might be ap
plied to calculate the chances of
twins or triplets being born to a
family. Their analysis showed, they
reported, that the frequency of mere
! fraternal twins—two individuals
which happen to be born at the
same time of the same mother but
which are not necessarily any more
alike than ordinary brothers and
sisters—depends on the age of the
mother and accurate predictions can
be made for the different age groups
of married women.
Identical twins, products of the
same ovum and supposedly identical
in every respect, have no relation,
they found to the age of the mother,
but a constant number always will
be born to a given number of mar
ried women. The same is true of
identical triplets. The number for
a given sample of the population, is
a constant.
A new type of animal inheritance,
hitherto unknown In biology, was
reported to the congress.
The means by which characters
are passed on from parents to off
spring supposedly are the "genes,”
invisibly minute bodies contained in
every living cell, and usually tied
together in strings known as “chro
mosomes.” This has supposedly
been a biological fact beyond dis
pute and in experimental laboratories
notable changes have been brought
about by rearranging the genes in
the chromosome strings or breaking
them up by means of X-rays and ul
traviolet light.
The favorite animals for experi
ments of this sort are fruit flies.
Working with these insects, the
French biologists, Drs. P. H. L’Her
itier and Georges Teissier, reported
they obtained a family line which
was extremely sensitive to carbon
dioxide gas, the normal output of
human respiration. They supposed
that some new chromosome arrange
ment was responsible, but every test
they have been able to make has
proved negative. They now are con
vinced, they reported, that some
mechanism of heredity never ob
served before, but perhaps of ex
treme importance throughout the
animal kingdom, is involved. The
fruit fly experiment may explain
some hitherto inexplicable heredi
tary sensitivities in man.
Line Long Maintained.
"We have maintained this carbon
dioxide sensitive line of fruit flies
for the past six years,” Dr. L'Her
itier reported. “This gas, which pro
duces no lasting effect on fruit flies
of other origin, is a deadly poison to
these insects. Even a very short
period spent in an atmosphere rich
enough in the gas is sufficient to
cause death. The minimum lethal
concentration depends on the tem
perature and not on what other
gases are mixed with the carbon
dioxide.
"The character is quite definitt
and is transmitted as a unit. We
can distinguish with certainty a
sensitive from a resistant fly. The
sensitive line is stable. Resistant in
dividuals continually appear among
them, however, with a low frequency,
and when they are bred together
produce only resistant individuals.
“We have been able to determine
the precise rules of hereditary trans
mission of the sensitivity. Although
with different incidence it is trans
mitted by males as well as bv fe
males. The cross between two re
sistant individuals never gives any
thing other than a resistant. A
sensitive individual, on the contrary, j
may give rise either to sensitive or
to resistant individuals alone, or to j
a mixture of the two.
Not Ascribed to Genes.
“We have definite proof that this \
hereditary character cannot be!
ascribed to a system of genes located
normally in the chromosomes, nor i
to any chromosomal aberration. In i
fact, we have established that the
sensitive flies transmit their sensi
tivity in a manner entirely inde
pendent of their chromosomes.
“One may, by proper crosses, ob
tain sensitive individuals not possess
ing any portion of the chromosomes
of the original sensitive line. These
flies transmit the sensitivity and we
have for the past year maintained a
new sensitive line thus produced. It
is not possible, we have estaollshed,
that we are dealing here with a de
layed effect. Conversely one may,
by analogous crosses, make up re
sistant lines having exactly the same
chromosomes as to original sensitive
line. These lines do not ever show
a return to the sensitive condition.
“Simultaneous crosses of resistant
females with sensitive males and
with resistant males gives, among
the descendants of the latter, very
rare sensitive flies. These aberrant
individuals transmit their sensitivity
according to the usual rules n r this
trait. But we have never observed
in any case the presence of sensitive
individuals among the descendants
of resistant pairs.”
He and his colleague are complete
ly in the dark regarding the mechan
ism of this inheritance. Dr.
L’Heritier said, but their theory is
that it is due to something in the
germ plasm of the sensitive flies out
side the genes and that it may be a
strange sort of virus infection of this
substance.
PORTSMOUTH, N. H.—SQUALUS BOBS UP—Bow of the Squalus shot Into the air, then sank
back slowly yesterday as the Navy tried to surface the sunken submarine. The salvage gear held
and efforts were continued to bring the vessel up on an even keel. —A. P. Wirephoto.
-
Plunge Fails to Daunt
Squalus Salvagers
By the Aisoctated Prex.
PORTSMOUTH, N. H„ Aug. 29 —
Undismayed by their failure to hoist
the submarine Squalus to the sur
face as planned, salvagers called for
two more pontoons today prepara
tory to another lifting effort to
morrow.
The pontoons will be attached to
the bow of the $4,000,000 craft which
thrust itself above the surface of
the Atlantic yesterday only to re
turn to its resting place in 90 feet
of water.
Although the stern of the Squalus,
with two pontoons attached, was
brought practically to the surface
45 minutes later, the salvage crew
was unable to force the bow back
to the surface after hours of pump
ing air into the hull and Rear Ad
miral C. W. Cole finally issued or
ders to drop the craft back to the
ocean bottom.
Today's schedule called for sink
ing the two pontoons to the aft sec
tion, securing them thereby loop
ing a chain under the craft and
tion. securing them there by loop
cable stretched across the deck to
prevent any slipping.

Worst Scare Behind,
Japanese Airmen
Wait on Weather
By the Associated Press.
NOME, Alaska, Aug. 20.—With
what they hope was their worst
scare behind them, a party of eight
Japanese airmen, girding the globe
with good-will, awaited only a signal
from the weather man today for
the takeoff on a 1,000-mile flight to
Whitehorse, Yukon Territory.
The biggest fright of the first lap
came, said Takeo Ohara, special
good-will envoy and aviation editor,
when “We had to climb out of thick
weather which forced us above 20,000
feet. Before we could release the
special oxygen tanks two of our crew
had become unconscious and we
thought we were goners.”
The twin-motored plane, the Nip
pon, arrived here Sunday after a
2,400-mlle hop over the North Pacific
and Bering Sea, and was held here
yesterday by low clouds and icing
conditions.
The pilot on the newspaper-spon
sored good-will around-the-world
flight is Sumltosho Nakao, the
"Lindberg of Japan.”
Seven were in the aerial party
from Japan, an eighth Joined the
aerial ambassadors here. The Nip
pon will stop at a number of cities
in the United States, then proceed
to South America, hop the Atlantic
and visit most of the capitals of
Europe and Asia on the 34.000-mile
jaunt. The planes cruising speed
in 165 miles an hour.

Nude Athlete
Held After Dash
Down 14th Street
A 26-year-old Greek athlete, who
Just wanted to get “a little exercise,”
was arrested today after running
10 blocks on Fourteenth street N.W.
in the nude.
The young back-to-nature sub
scriber was caught at Fourteenth
and U streets by Policeman R. W.
Creel of the second precinct after
successive radio calls had placed the
position of the runner at different
points along Fourteenth from the
Girard street intersection on down.
A rush-hour crowd trailed the
fleeing nude and gathered around
when Policeman Creel made the
capture. The youth at first refused
to talk, but later gave the officer his
age and name and explained he
“needed exercise.”
He was taken to Gallinger Hospital
—wrapped in a blanket—for mental
observation.
Sunset Symphony Series
Best Yet Financially
The third season of sunset sym
phonies by the National Symphony
Orchestra was the most success
ful financially yet held, Harold A.
Brooks, chairman of the Summer
Concerts Committee, said today.
Mr. Brooks stated that, although
a substantial deficit was noted this
season, it was appreciably lower than
that for the two previous seasons.
Moreover, he said, there were suf
ficient funds on hand to take care
of the deficit because of oversub
scriptions to the regular symphony
series plus special contributions to
the summer season.
