Headlines bring a Utile pain to newsmen
on Oregon's constitutional revision group
The 1961 legislature created a 17
'rriember commission to study the Ore
gon constitution and recommend
revisions to the 1963 legislative assem
bly. Members of the commission are
widely spread geographically and
professionally from around the state.
The commission Includes two members
of Oregon's Supreme Court, two former
governors, a circuit judge, a number of
. top members of the present and past
legislatures, and so forth.
Two of the members are respon
sible for daily editorial comment of
Oregon newspapers they manage. Per
haps for this reason, because of their
professional interest, they tend to pay
more attention to news coverage of
commission and subcommittee meet
ings than some other members of the
groups on which they serve.
The two ate lunch at the same
table Saturday. One picked up an edi
tion of one of the Portland papers and
called attention to a headline which
did not In any way accurately reflect
a position taken by the commission at
Us Friday meeting.
Then, to his discomfiture, he dis
covered upon arriving home that his
own paper had fallen into the trap. In
each case the main body of the story
was accurate and complete.
The other of the two members in
volved made a little study of various
Oregon newspapers and their coverage
of the meetings. He found the same
thing the stories were right, but the
headlines were too often misleading.
How does it happen?
The answer is that this Is an old
problem which has faced the writers
of headlines ever since the invention
of movable type.
Every new man who starts to work
on the copy desk of a newspaper soon
discovers type particularly the larger
sizes used in heads Is very inflexible.
The old saying "type ain't rubber" is
certainly true.
Give a headline writer a long story,
and these instructions:
"Write two lines, one containing 24
letters and spaces, the second contain
ing no more than 24 and no fewer than
22, which accurately describes the
mainpoint in the story. In addition to
accuracy, the headline should also be
alive, not a mere label of the event."
Give these instructions, and see
what happens. Or better yet, take a
couple of stories from this edition of
The Bulletin, and try the test yourself.
The result is that on a long story,
involving a number of different items,
the writer in order to be completely
accurate will wind up with a headline
which reads something like this:
Constitutional revision
group meets in Portland
This is accurate. But it's dull. It
doesn't sell the story. Few persons,
other than members of the group in
volved, would be tempted to read the
story. Much of the space devoted to
the meeting would have to be consider
ed wasted.
Various gimmicks are used to try
to avoid this pitfall. The Bulletin uses
"kickers", or little lines above the main
headline, with some regularity. Our
people find them useful to give some of
the flavor of the story without losing
accuracy. Other papers, or many of
them, don't like "kickers" and don't
use them.
There's no one answer to the prob
lem of complete accuracy in headlines.
State doing a booming business
The outpatient clinic at the State
Hospital, staffed by a pair of pleasant
lady psychiatrists, is doing a booming
business.
So booming, In fact, that there is
a waiting list of six weeks.
"That's bad," says Pr. Camilla
Anderson, the director. "But when I
came here nearly four years ago, there
was an 11 month waiting list. When
doctors refer a patient, they don't like
' the waiting. If t he situation was that
casual, they wouldn't have called us in
the first place."
She hopes to add another psychia
trist this summer.
Oregon is by no means a pioneer
. In outpatient psychiatry. The clinic will
be eight years old this July but Dr.
Anderson says that Oregon came in
riding the "tail end" of the field.
Some states have had them for 50
years.
She attributes the slowness in large
part to the fact that until about five
years ago, the University of Oregon
Medical School never had a full time
department of psychiatry.
The establishment of this was the
"first time psychiatry gained any status
In Oregon," she said.
The one story, yellow brick clinic
concentrates on psycho-therapy but
fjonducts some drug therapy. In ad
dition to Dr. Anderson, the other psy
chiatrist Is Dr. Hope Brown Plymatc,
who has been with the clinic about a
year.
Other staff members Include one
psychologist and two social workers.
Since it opened, the clinic has treat
ed 1,540 emotionally or mentally dis
turbed persons of all ages and types.
The current patient load is 171, al
though the number of persons inter
viewed is many times that.
The other two state hospitals
Eastern Oregon and Dammasch also
operate outpatient clinics. At present
they have SO and 52 patients, respec
tively. Both of these opened within the
past year.
As the word outpatient indicates,
patients visit for short periods usually
for one hour once a week.
This consultation isn't free, al
though unlike the private world of
psychiatry the charge is graduated on
income; those of lower incomes pay less.
The per hour fee ranges from 51
to $20. Some of the patients are welfare
recipients.
Anyone with an Income of $S,000
or more a year Is ineligible for the
clinic. The state feels that if you make
that much money, you can hire your
own psychiatrist.

Russian-Chinese Showdown
Some amazing developments
are taking place behind the sugar
cane curtain in Cuba. U.S. Intelli
gence reports that they are close
ly linked to the ideological bat
tle between China and Russia.
Among other things, Fidel Cas
tro has now abdicated much of
his dictatorial power and has
promised the Russians to quit his
psychopathic bombast which has
kept Cuba in a continual state of
jitters.
Behind the Internal struggle
have been two important figures.
The first is Ernesto "Che" Gue
vera, Argentine - trained Commu
nist, who favored the tough Chi
nese brand of communism and
imported hundreds of Chinese
technicians, Chinese have been
seen all over Havana and prob
ably outnumbered Russian advis
ers. Some even held office in the
Cuban government.
Opposing Guevcra has been
Bias Roca, a Communist loyal to
Moscow.
In the ideological In fighting
which has taken place in the
Spanish-built fortresses and office
buildings of ancient Havana, Roca
has now won out. He has become
backstage boss of Cuba.
He has even replaced Castro as
head of agrarian reform with a
trusted henchman, Carlos Rodri
guez. Guevera has been eased out
of the lirnelinght, and his Chinese
friends are being dropped.
The Cuban government now ap
pears to be run from the Russian
embassy where Ambassador Ser
gei Kudnavtsev quietly gives advice.
Bias Roca, according to Intelli
gence reports, played two aces in
forcing Castro to relinquish his
dictatorial powers.
1. Castro's mismanagement has
driven Cuba to the brink of eco
nomic disaster, and he desperate
ly needed aid. Only Russia could
supply that aid.
2. Castro had developed a para
noiac fear of invasion from the
USA and assassination at the
hands of American agents. The
Kremlin promised to protect him.
This was the reason Moscow is
sued Us recent warning against
another Cuban invasion. The
warning was more to reassure
Castro than to frighten the USA.
Result of this dramatic upheav
al inside Cuba will be more sta
bility and less anti-Americanism.
The Russians have always figur
ed Cuba was a good bargaining
weapon with the United States,
hut never have been fond of Cas
tro. Khrushchev deliberately
snubbed Castro's repeated invita

General Kennedy came down to
the Justice Department to work
despite the holiday.
In the courtyard of the Justice
Department he found about 20
cars. Meticulously he jolted down
the numbers of the license plates,
had his secretary look up the
owners, and wrote each a note of
thanks for working on the holiday.
What the new Attorney General
didn't know was that Washing
ton's birthday in the nation's cap
ital is a tremendous bargain day
and many of the stores are near
the Justice Department. The Jus
tice Department's courtyard is an
excellent place to park.
Behind the Scenes
Sen. Mike Mansfield, the Demo
cratic leader, is furious at his
Democratic colleague, John Mc
Clcllan of Arkansas, for blocking
Kennedy's urban affairs depart

be headed by Robert Weaver, a

'Test, or not test?'
Point believed missed
To the Editor:
I find that I must admit to a
belief that any talk about the
question "to test or not to test"
is missing the point. That is, the
ultimate question is now "Can
war any longer be sustained as
an instrument of national policy?"
With the prospect of nuclear
holocaust in sight, one can only
conclude that there is no alterna
tive to peace world peace
through world law. In fact, that
prospect has led such a distin
guished group of scientists as
those in the American Association
for the Advancement of Science
to just such a conclusion, and I
commend to you recent issues of
their publication. Science.
The prospect of nuclear war can
only mean that mankind has a
common interest, security the
security of mankind. The security
of one nation can no longer be
considered the separate concern
of an individual nation, for secur
ity Is now indivisible.
The prospect of nuclear war is
so horrible that not even such
apologists as Herman Kahn or Dr.
Teller can minimize the fact that
in it tens of millions of people
wouIcTbo destroyed. Nor can they
assure us that it would preserve
our way of life, for no one can
say what social changes would be
effected by such a cataclysmic
event.
I would suggest that the cooper
ation which has built civilization
might be employed to sustain it,
that a proper implementation of
the principles of the United Na
tions can permit nations to live to
gether without imposing the politi
cal dogmas of one nation upon another.
Yours truly,

Sal Mineo's double
notes writeup error
To the Editor:
In your recent obituary of Louis
Lecleire of Warm Springs, you
gave mention of his son doubling
for "Sal Mineo" in "Tonka" pic
ture filmed in 1959.
I think you will find there were
two doubles for Mr. Mineo, Gene
White of Los Angeles, Calif., and
Junior Bernard of Paulina, Ore.
Also, film was made in "1958"
not "1959."

President Charles de Gaulle a
"message of affection" from
President Kennedy Tuesday.
The younger Kennedy paid a
45-minute visit to the French lead

schedule by 15 minutes.
Later, he told a reporter from
the French radio network that he
gave De Gaulle a message from
his brother.
In a recorded interview broad
cast by the French radio, Ken
nedy said, "My interview with
Gen. De Gaulle was exceedingly,
useful and interesting. I presented
my respects to Gen. De Gaulle
and transmitted to him a personal
message from the President of
the United States, a message of
affection stemming from the
friendship which exists between
the 'French people and the Ameri
can people."
He added, "In spite of certain
misunderstandings which exist be
tween governments, I was anxious
to reaffirm our affection."
Asked whether they discussed
the Algerian problem, Kennedy
said he could not go into details
of the talk. He said they also did
not discuss a possible meeting be
tween President Kennedy and De
Gaulle.
