To ascertain major causes of the flare-ups. The Statesman recently assigned Staff Writer Vinta Howard to go behind the scenes from all angles.) By VINITA HOWARD Staff Writer, The Statesman ! It can hardly be expected that collection of emotionally-dis- turbed girls with abnormal behavior patterns would live together in peace and quiet. They dou't at Hillcrest or at any similar school. But a variety of factors have led to more than usual trouble at Hill- al-'now come to the school since more departments. "The disturbances," she said, "resulted from no particular - -"f,"'" i"c sm. "Of the. two disturbances which have been considered of major proportion this summer," she said, "only about 17 girls were actual ly involved, yet both were written up as riots. People forget that the majority of the student body stayed out of the incidents and helped to clean up afterwards." Staff Members Get New Training "Our staff training." she added, "has been somewhat limited, but we are planning row to further the on-the-job training of our staff. At present, we are having weekly sessions with the psychiatrist to help staff members more readily work out problems of girls who are emotionally disturbed or have extreme behavior problems." Another relatively new problem at Hillcrest, one which no one at the school likes to mention but which can hardly be avoided, is the addition of Indian girls who previously were federal wards and not admitted to the institution. "The biggest mistake ever made was to put Indian girls at Hillcrest," a former school employe said. "The other girls at the school have been underdogs out in society, and they know the Indian girls have been even worse underdogs than thev have. Put them together, as they've done, and for some reason the white girls look to the Indians for leadership and friendship. An unhealthy situation results because the Indian girls have an ingrained dislike of any state authority." The outbursts, staff members said, seem to be spontaneous erup tions which begin after the girls return to their rooms from eve ning recreation at Farrell Hall. Rounded Program Answers Critics The recreation, the former employe said, often consists of view ing a movie, watching the school's single TV set. and. on occasion. social dancing. The latter, in particular, she said provides too much opportunity for close physical contact and sends some girls back to their cottage in a highly emotional state." - Miss McBride. however, takes out the program also includes active sports, charm and grooming, skating, folk dancing and a generally well-rounded program much iixe inose oi any scnooi in me state. I believe," she said, "that treatment is the primary purpose of the institution. We aim to provide needs, concepts and relationships satisfactory and satisfying relationships while in the institution and upon her return to the community. The red brick building on the hillside campus a few miles east of Salem presented a serene appearance when The Statesman assigned a reporter there. Only the ever-present ring of keys carried by staff members and used to enter and leave every building indicated it was anything but a pleasantly situated private school. Tension Apparent In Watchfulness But, there was a watchfulness on the part o. the staff that made it quite apparent the school has been in a state of guarded unrest. A girl, returned recently from a brief escape, lett a physical educa tion class to stroll to the hall and visit with another girl. She was quicKiy called DacK to the gymnasium. Boisterous activity, loud talk or running, were nipped in the bud. One of the girls involved in a window-breaking episode complain ed to a teacher because of a lost privilege. "That's what happens when you smash windows," the teacher said. "Sure," the girl, replied, "but I didn't know what I was doing when I did that" "Yeah," another girl commented, "that's just like me. I didn't know I was escapin' until I caught myself running down the hill." There's also the impression that perhaps the girls are due for more strict discipline a discipline that is overdue, in the opinion of some outsiders. Already the maximum security rooms which have been repaired are stripped of all furnishings with only a mattress and bedding remaining. What type of girl goes to Hillcrest? According to the latest bien nial report, she's probably between 14 and 16 years old with an IQ of about 93. A broken home or one in which one or both parents are deceased is also a frequent factor. Hillcrest Gets Quite "Selective" Group Most girls are sent to the school for "delinquency," a term that can cover a multitude of sins. Other reasons include truancy, forg ery, immorality, incorrigibility and theft. The average stay at Hill crest is about 11 months. But statistics leave much unsaid. As William J. Ryan, state supervisor of institutions, explained: Hillcrest gets a narrower range of delinquency, than does Mac Laren, its counterpart for boys. The boys school is about the only place in the state to send boys in trouble." . On the other hand, he added, there are several state-aided and private schools for girls in trouble St Rose, Louise Home, White Shield and. others which means a girl usually does not get to Hillcrest unles she cannot be handled by other agencies. Some people not connected with Hillcrest have expressed the opinion that Miss McBride, although extremely capable and well liked,, got too much responsibility too young. (She is 29.) That impression, however, is not held by staff members The Statesman interviewed at the school. Another charge ; is that Miss McBride, who replaced Lena B. Smithson last year, has been too lax in disciplining the girls and has made exceptions to her own rules in trying to win over the girls. j . Firm Discipline Declared Essential "Those kids." one woman said, "feel secure oiny when they know they have a firm, steady discipline. When you let them get away with something, they actually hate you for letting them get in irouDie. While the school has been members were (juick to point outbreaks in the school s recent une diiierence. r a sutler reported, "is that Mrs Smithson some- times would call back members off-duty to help quiet the girls instead of calling for police." Thus, the incidents were not report ed by the newspapers. People seem to have forgotten, one reported, "that in 1953 a girl, on the d-ire of several others, set fire tt the school admin istration Duiiaing ana caused about 5125,000 m damages. That, she added, is considerably more than the $8,500 loss the recent trouble has caused. That same year she said, a relief housemother was brutally at tacked by four girls, who got away with it Several school employes, in fact, termed this 1953 incident as the starting ioint of the trouble. From that time on, some girls' seemed to become more aggressive, -more vicious and violent one worker said The next few months are bound to be a waiting and watching period at the institution. Sterner discipline along with remodeled and more secure security ward seem a certainty. Additional em ployes 55 now work three 8-hour shifts per day may relieve some of the pressure. Miss McBride. herself, expressed the thought that she might need more personnel trained as psychiatric aides if the budget would allow it. i - Meanwhile, some employes cannot forget the recent outbursts of violence. At least one recalled the comment tf a girl, now in trouble in California, not too long ago: Wt could kill housemother, you know." When another girl protested, she. added. "Sure we could. They couldn't do anything to us, we're juveniles." , and more counties have juvenile ' uitjr ucju auuyiy wjr exception to this . view, pointing experiences which alter a girl's so that she wil be able to achieve having some trouble, several staff out that these are not the first history. - 105th Yoar 5 SECTIONS-36 Forest Fires Halted Largest Covers 8,000 Acres in Burns Sector VALE, Ore. UP Eastern Ore gon's two big forest and range fires were reported under control late Saturday.

An even more terrible toll in human uvea kept mounting. At least 143 persons were known dead in the eight seaboard states ravaged by the uncontrollable tor rents of water. Perhaps as many more were missing and unaccount ed for. Swollen brooks, streams and riv ers generally receded Saturday. and the staggering task of setting: things right began. But some areas still were threatened by ris ing waters. More Bodies As the mud was cleared away. more bodies came to light bodies fouled by the silt the flood left fiverywhere as its calling card. bodies trapped in crumpled, sub merged homes in scores of villages and cities. Part of the village of Pellet's Island, in the rich farmland of New York's Orange County, was inundated Saturday night by the rising waters of the Wallkill River. State Troopers, civil defense workers and Army personnel teamed to evacuate about 200 resi dents. Fires Rage In little Mechanicsville in North west Connecticut, fires raged out of control in two isolated nulls. They were surrounded by flood waters, but firemen were almost helpless to halt the blazes. By night the factories were blackened shells their insides still raging infernos. At nearby Putnam, Conn., a town sliced in half by a river of foam-flecked. flood waters, another section of an incendiary bomb plant caught fire. Dangerous explosions of magne sium stocks followed. At the other end of the town, the plant's other section had been de stroyed by fire while the flood was at its height. Drums of magnesium broke loose and floated through the streets, exploding like bombs. Complete Devastation Army engineers said the town was "completely devastated." Connecticut's governor embar goed movement of food and drugs, processed in plants that had been flooded, to reduce danger of con tamination.
