And [the Population Council] would reserve to itself the international marketing rights for a loop shaped apparatus developed by the Buffalo physician Jack Lippes, that gained the highest rate of acceptance and caused the fewest side effects. By 1967 ... the Population Council would incorporate this research and technical assistance capacity as its own Bio-Medical division where further testing and refinement of various IUDs, injectable contraceptives, and other experimental medications have continued [see Sheldon Reed q.v.] IUDs were widely distributed in the 1970's and 1980's, but their use has declined substantially in recent years ... IUDs have been associated with an increased risk of pelvic inflammatory disease, which, if left untreated, can cause sterility."

Background:
James McKeen Cattell:
American Men of Science was founded, edited and published by James McKeen Cattell from 1906-38. Cattell (1860-1944) was administrative head of psychology at Columbia University from 1891 until 1917 when he was dismissed for opposing the draft in World War I. He lived in Garrison-on-the Hudson, New York which is where Frederick Osborn lived.
He studied in Germany under Lotze and Wundt in 1881; at Johns Hopkins in 1882-83; and became Wundt's assistant at Leipzig in 1884. He received his PhD there in 1886 and then studied under Francis Galton in London. He became a Professor of Psychology at the University of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia in 1888. There and at Columbia he devoted himself to improving and advancing mental testing.
He co-founded the Psychological Review in 1894 and bought and edited the weekly journal, Science. (1894-1944). In 1900 he founded and edited Popular Science Monthly which became Scientific Monthly. (1900-1943). He also edited The American Naturalist (1907-44) and School and Society (1915-39). He founded the Psychological Corporation which made psychological research available to business (i.e. market research, advertising, propaganda). His son founded the Jacques Cattell Press in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, the town where Prof. Cattell died. (Jacques Cattell; Member, Third International Congress of Eugenics, New York 1932; Source: A Decade of Progress in Eugenics, Baltimore 1934)
In evaluating Stephen Visher's work, we must consider what bias was introduced into the selection procedure by the Germanophile, Cattell.

Background:
-- A War Criminal Who Escaped Prosecution
Von Verschuer escaped prosecution even though he planned Mengele's experiments and even though he was well known.
-- Well Known
Eugenicists in America were well aware of von Verschuer since two stories about him appeared in English in the Eugenical News in the 1930's.
The first was a review of Verschuer's book Erbpathologie 1934 which appeared in the Eugenical News, January/ February 1936 issue p. 21-22. This review said that "our country [the United States] adopted sanitary measures and eugenic sterilization laws. Race culture, the selection of proposed cases for sterilization or marriage advice are impossible without the earnest collaboration of the entire medical profession ... we need sound knowledge ... To this end German scientists have recognized the need for handy inexpensive textbooks for the practical use of physicians. The idea was first suggested by Prof. Dr. O. von Verschuer ... We have just received volume XVIII of this series ... by Prof. Dr. Otmar von Verschuer ... In this book the author clearly outlines the duties of the physician to the nation. The word 'nation' no longer means a number of citizens living within certain boundaries, but a biological entity. This point of view also changes the obligation of the physician ... All defects known to be hereditary are listed (in this book) ... 100,000 feebleminded ... schizophrenics ... epileptics ... Huntington's chorea ... Blindness ... Deaf-mutism ... bodily deformities ... Physicians will doubtless often turn to this book for advice. Dr. von Verschuer has successfully bridged the gap between medical practice and theoretic scientific research."
The second article appeared in the Eugenical News May/June 1936. This article specifically mentions that Von Verschuer intended to apply the race doctrine of Count Gobineau to twin studies, the twins to be from as many countries as possible. This is what was done at Auschwitz so that this article clearly pointed towards von Verschuer as possibly involved in the atrocities committed by Mengele, his protege. Nevertheless von Verschuer's involvement was not proved until he was dead. There must have been a cover up.
"Professor Dr. Otmar Freiherr von Verschuer ... director of the Universitat Institute fur Erbbiologie und Rassenhygiene, writes us that ... the Institute, is now ready for work.... According to Dr. Verschuer he is now ready to begin his work which has the aim to utilize, first, the science of anthropology and the race doctrine of Count Gobineau; a second trail that has led to Verschuer's door is Galton's Eugenics, and the race hygiene of Ploetz; the third is the doctrine of constitution as found in medicine; and the fourth is experimental heredity.... The special tasks of the new Institute fall into three groups, investigation, instruction and practical work. ... The rich results of genetics form the foundation for the race politic of national socialistic state and for the practice of race hygiene. Dr. Verschuer states that the object of his investigation is mankind, not the individual man, but families and twins; and in this work there will not be investigated alone interesting twins, but all twins and families of definite geographical origin must be considered. It is desirable to determine what traits of bodily and mental sort, what diseases and anomalies in mankind are hereditary" (Eugenical News May/June 1936)
-- Kaiser Wilhelm
It has been asserted by leading eugenicists, such as C. P. Blacker, that German scientists "of weight and repute" held aloof from Nazi activity. But more recent research by Benno Muller Hill has shown that the Kaiser Wilhelm Gesellschaft (KWG or Kaiser Wilhelm Society), one of the most respected scientific groups in Germany, was deeply involved in the camp experiments and in anti Semitism. Von Verschuer, for example, was a leading scientist at the KWG. "The conduct of the general administration, the Senate and the directors of the KWG shows to how great an extent the type of thinking which the anthropologists applied to the segregation (used in the sense of apartheid in South Africa) of the Jews - that is to say, the vulgar anti Semitism of the National Socialists - had become accepted by a significant proportion of the members of the scientific establishment. The KWG was in no minor provincial university. In anthropology and in psychiatry and in most other fields it was at the forefront of scientific endeavor." (Murderous Science B. Muller Hill p. 24)
-- Von Verschuer and Mengele
Von Verschuer was associated with Mengele's atrocities at Auschwitz both because he taught Mengele and because he sponsored the research program Mengele carried out. These facts have emerged as a result of very recent research carried out by Benno Muller-Hill, by Gerald Finer, author of The Last Nazi and by the author of Children of Flame.
However, these authors have not integrated von Verschuer with what is known of American and English eugenics. In 1954 von Verschuer was a member of the American Society of Human Genetics, as was Leo Alexander, the chief American medical expert at the Nuremberg trials. In 1956, von Verschuer was a member of the American Eugenics Society.
Von Verschuer was Mengele's teacher:
Von Verschuer thought that Hitler was "the first statesman to recognize hereditary biological and race hygiene." (The Last Nazi p. 11); "Mengele became (Von Verschuer's) favorite student; the two men developed a strong mutual respect ... later as wartime director of the Kaiser Wilhelm Institute for Anthropology, Human Hereditary Teaching and Genetics in Berlin, he [von Verschuer] secured funds for Mengele's experiments at Auschwitz. (This was the Institute where Mengele sent the results of his barbaric and largely worthless research.)" (The Last Nazi p. 12); "the obsession with twins that Mengele would later exhibit at Auschwitz was also a direct result of his association with Verschuer" (Children of the Flame p. 46); In 1937 or 1938 "... Mengele and von Verschuer were working together, writing judicial reports for specially convened courts which sat in judgment over Jews caught cohabiting with German Aryans ..." (The Last Nazi. p. 12); "Certainly Professor Von Verschuer thought highly of Mengele; he soon appointed him as one of his assistant physicians ... even though he (Mengele) had yet to receive his degree ... It was against this background at the Frankfurt Institute that Mengele first embraced the idea that through appropriate selection, the heritage of the race could be 'improved'. Before long the concept was applied in a much starker way, on the ramps at Auschwitz where SS doctors, Mengele especially, selected able bodied inmates for work and the frailer ones for death." (The Last Nazi p. 13)
Experiments at Auschwitz were carried out for Von Verschuer and the KWG:
In 1942 Von Verschuer said: "my assistant Mengele has been transferred to a post in Berlin so that in his free time he can work at the Institute." (The Last Nazi. p. 18)
In May of 1943 Mengele was posted to Auschwitz; in August of 1943 funds for Mengele's "research" were authorized by German Research Council thanks to Von Verschuer. Von Verschuer wrote a progress report to the Council: "My co-researcher in this research is my assistant the anthropologist and physician Mengele. He is serving as Hauptsturmfuhrer and camp doctor in the concentration camp Auschwitz ... With the permission of the Reichsfuhrer SS Himmler (q.v.), anthropological research is being undertaken on the various racial groups in the concentration camps and blood samples will be sent to my laboratory for investigation" (Last Nazi, pp. 33-37
(At Auschwitz) "Twin research attracted Mengele ... (he) prowled the railroad siding during initial selection seeking twins"; he killed two year old boy twins to get data on simultaneous death; he had an acid bath in which he put bodies of twins so the flesh would fall off and he could examine the skeletons (The Last Nazi p. 93 - 100)
At Auschwitz 3 sets of twins who had one blue and one brown eye were killed and the data sent to Von Verschuer in Berlin; heads of Auschwitz 'patients' with the noma removed were sent to Kaiser Wilhelm Institute (The Last Nazi)
"Verschuer even helped Mengele win grants to undertake two research projects at (Auschwitz)... to begin in April 1943" (Children of Flame p. 52); Verschuer... was closely involved in his protege's research... Mengele periodically dispatched to his mentor not only reports about his research but also laboratory samples from his experiments." (Children of Flame p. 59; on arrival at Mengele's experimental station twins filled out "a detailed questionnaire from the Kaiser Wilhelm Institute" (Children of Flame p. 59); "The tests, questionnaires and many of the experiments themselves appear to have been the brainchild of Verschuer" (Children of Flame p. 69); from these young children there were daily withdrawals of blood for Verschuer's "specific protein" research; needles were injected in their eyes for Karen Magnussen's KWI work on eye color; there were experimental blood transfusions; small children were placed in isolation in cage like rooms and their reactions studied; small children were exposed to stimuli and their reactions noted; organs and limbs were removed, sometimes without anesthetics; sex changes were attempted; females were sterilized; males were castrated; one woman developed a man's beard, which suggests the presence of steroids; then many twins were killed; they were autopsied at the pathology lab next to the crematory, which had been built with funds von Verschuer obtained; various organs and limbs were sent to Verschuer at the Kaiser Wilhelm. (Children of Flame p. 71, 117)
-- Von Verschuer contacted eugenicists following WW II:
In 1946 Von Verschuer wrote to the Bureau of Human Heredity in London: "I hope that the scientific equipment of my former Kaiser Wilhelm Institute in Dahlem which I brought ... to Frankfort will enable me to continue or rather restart my research work ... tuberculosis research ... I don't give up hope that there will be people in England and America who will help me continue my scientific research" (The Last Nazi p. 142); became a professor of human genetics at Munster
-- The eugenicists did not expose Von Verschuer:
He attempted to get his old job at the Kaiser Wilhelm Institute when it was reconstituted in Frankfurt in 1951. An article in Neue Zeitung exposed his connection with Mengele (Children of Flame p. 118-129, 161). But nevertheless the 1956 issue of the Italian eugenic magazine, Acta Genet, Med. Gem., edited by Luigi Gedda q.v. had a special supplement honoring Verschuer ("master and teacher"). Gedda was also a member of the American Eugenics Society.
-- Verschuer influenced another generation:
Verschuer founded the largest genetics Institute in Munster, West Germany. (Children of Flame p. 161); he retired in 1968 and died in 1969; Widukind Lenz, son of Fritz Lenz, who was cited ny Hitler in Mein Kampf, took over from von Verschuer. W. Lenz was a member of the American Eugenics Societn 1974
-- Bureau of Human Heredity:
The Bureau of Human Heredity, which received the letter from von Verschuer mentioning that he had the results of Auschwitz "research", moved to Copenhagen in 1947. The Director of the Danish Institute which received the Bureau was Tage Kemp, a member of the American Eugenics Society in 1956, along with von Verschuer. The building in Copenhagen was built with Rockefeller money. The first International Congress in Human Genetics following World War II was held at Kemp's Institute in Denmark in 1956.

Quotes:
1956 "The latter part of the book especially, should be of value to ministers, social workers, and others who are called upon to give counsel on problems of heredity and environment (p. 14) ... tuberculosis ... the prevalence of this disease in certain families leaves little doubt about its being influenced by heredity (p. 260) ... poliomyelitis ... heredity influences the amount of vitamin that is required to ward off rickets (p. 264) ... stomach ulcers ... cancer ... studies by Madge Macklin at Ohio State University indicate that ... the tendency to develop cancer is inherited (p. 269) ... Surgery saves many defective genes (p. 293) ... public assistance ... [defectives need welfare so] these genes are perpetuated by our kindliness ... Problems of Eugenics ... [in cattle breeding] The best bulls have hundreds of offspring, while those of poor quality go to the slaughter house before they have an opportunity to breed. Such techniques are, of course, out of the question at present (bolded by editor) for human beings ... (p. 298) ... negative eugenics [means] reducing the rate of reproduction among the less desirable members of our race" (p. 302) "there is still the probability that the average gene complex for those in the higher groups is more desirable than would be found among those at the bottom of the social scale" (p. 304); all quotes from Heredity and Your Life, A.M.

Background:
Genetic Drift:
Wright studied the breeding and cross breeding in guinea pigs through studies of coat color. (see also C. Keeler q.v.) Then he developed a mathematics of evolution which consisted of the formulas for evaluating mating and inbreeding in stock breeding. In Darwin's original work stock breeding was the example of ongoing evolution.
R. A. Fisher opposed Sewall Wright.
Wright said that among individuals natural selection works on separate average gene effects. He suggested that natural selection works by diffusion from those populations that have developed superior overall genetic systems.
Genetic drift means that species may disappear because the few individuals carrying rare genes may not transmit them. This would result in the disappearance of a species without natural selection.

Background:
IQ Testing
Psychological Examining in the United States Army (1921) gave a social interpretation to the results of IQ tests administered in the Army during World War I. These "results" were and are the basis for a great deal of discussion and action among eugenicists.
"Yerkes Army testing work was used as a major source of proof that Southern and Eastern Europeans were intellectually inferior to Northwestern Europeans" (Mehler, p. 448) This was used in turn to pass the Johnson Act limiting immigration from these countries. The work is important as a source for the current contention by Jensen q.v., Gordon q.v. and other Pioneer Fund beneficiaries that "science" has always shown that African-Americans are genetically defective in intelligence.
Furthermore, it was used by eugenicists such as Frederick Osborn who spoke of using "psychology" as well as genetics. Osborn himself conducted a similar survey during World War II as Head of the Morale Branch of the Army.
