Pinball Addicts Like Drunks,
Need Cure, Psychologist Says
By ELDON BARRETT
Seattle, Wash., Feb. 1 (U.R) Two university professors agree
that pinball playing can become habit forming, just like drink
ing liquor or biting fingernails.
Dr. C. R. Strother, professor of clinical psychology at the
University of Washington, said "just as with alcohol" some
people can indulge occasionally
and casually in pinball playing
without becoming addicted, "but
other persons develop what
amounts to addiction."
"In many cases, compulsion
to play pinball machines and to
gamble is as much of a disease
as alcoholism," the University
of Washington teacher explain
ed. Dr. Strother doesn't advocate
a "pinball anonymous" organi
zation for players who can't re
sist poking nickels in pinball de
vices, but he says many such
cases need treatment.
"Psychological analysis of
emotional needs and conflicts
that make them susceptible is
necessary," he said. He added
that some form of psychothera
peutic treatment also is needed
that will solve mental problems,
or "satisfy their needs in a more
constructive social fashion."
Dr. Strother doesn't believe
that outlawing pinball machines
is the solution.
"The solution is to make them
(the pinball addicts) aware that
over-indulgence is a system of
maladjustment; then, make
available facilities for treat
ment." Dr. Hubert S. Ripley, head of
the .university's psychiatry de
partment, agreed that pinball
playing can become an addic
tion. But he differed sharply
with Professor Strother on
whether the device; should be
banned.
"At times having easy access
may tend to intensify a drive
that exists," Dr. Ripley said.
"We have certain prohibitions
that tend to control some hu
man drives. If outlets for these
drives are stopped, the individ
ual may seek more constructive
outlets."
But Professor Strother contended:
Gordon MacRae, radio and
screen favorite, appears in
one of the leading roles in
Warner Bros. "Backfire," op
ening today at the Elsinore.
Virginia Mayo and Edmond
O'Brien are co-starred.
"It's a matter of knowing in
dividual problems, and then
working out a solution for each
individual.

Pilot Describes

Thank God I remembered to

ged tree ripped through the
fuselage.
We were flying over a foothill
of 6,610-foot Mt. Lome at an
altitude of 800 feet. I made a
turn and we hit a downdraft.
Suddenly the top of a towering
pine loomed up.
It tore through the fuselage
and wings and as the plane bank
ed towards the snowy slope, I
cut the switches.
We hit the ground, and then
there was quiet.
For the next few seconds I
just lay there wondering wheth
er anyone was dead. I found I
could move and managed to free
myself from the wreckage.
Only Jack Borges, a radio sta
tion announcer, appeared seri
ously hurt. I told everyone to
stick with the plane while I
went out for help. They all
climbed into sleeping bags.
My ankle was hurting like
the devil, but I thought I could
find someone.
I stuck out for the road I had
noticed before we crashed. I
must have covered about six
miles through four-foot drifts
and thick bush when I saw two
men up on the road..

Men in Crashed Search
Plane Tell Their Story
By CLIFF CERNICK
Whitehorse, Yukon Territory, Feb. 1 (U.R) Six heroic men
who almost met death when their plane crashed in the search
for a transport missing with 44 persons aboard told the story of
the crash from their hospital beds here today.
"I knew we were going down when we hit that downdraft,"
said TSgt. Forrest w. Hudson,v
33, Three Rivers, Tex., crew
chief.
I hit the deck and grabbed
the base of my seat. It ripped
loose and I went piling into the
navigation department.
"The first thing I thought of
was fire. I wriggled loose, ran
back, kicked the aft door open
and jumped out. Gasoline was
raining from the tanks but there
was no spark.
'I climbed back into the wreck
and the first man I got to was my
assistant crew chief, Sgt. Cole
(Centrahoma, Okla.) He was
knocked cold. I covered him
and straightened him out. He
was all tangled up against the
bulkhead.
"After we got everyone ac
counted for, we went outside,
built a fire and got the injured
comfortable. We didn't have
any time to sit around the fire
and talk. We were busy giving
first aid, setting out flares and
collecting wood for the fire until
the rescue party got to us."
Sgt. Bruno Przdzial, 20, Phil
adelphia, Pa., said, "I was lucky.
I was looking out the window
and saw we were going to hit.
I grabbed for something to hang
on to and missed. I went free
wheeling the full length of the
plane. People were flying all
around me. I was not hurt ex
cept for this shiner, so I helped
Hudson drag the injured down
by the fire."
Jack Borgess, 33, Anchorage,
Alaska radio newscaster, who
was most seriously hurt with a
possible broken collarbone and
wrist, said, "it was a miracle
that anybody got out of the
wreck alive.
"I was sitting about half way
back when we dropped. I threw
my hands over my head and
leaned forward toward the bulk
head. There was a terrific
crash. Next thing I knew I
was up in front buried in a lot
of gear. I had to wriggle out
of "the mess."
walked much further. The men
said they were construction
workers for the. Whitehorse
Pumping Station Oil Pipeline.
I told them I had crashed and
my crew and passengers needed
help quickly.
Thp men. WillnrH TWnholrlaf
and Ronnie Watson, led me to
tne Whitehorse air base and I
outlined the way back to the
wreckage to trail crews.

Cordon Frowns
On Eklufna
Washington, Feb. 1 (U.R) Sen.
Guy Cordon, R., Ore., said Tues
day he disagreed with U.S. and
Alaskan officials that federal
construction of the $20,000,000
Eklutna power project in Alas
ka :s essential.
Assistant Secretary of Inter
ior William E. Warne testified
at senate hearings that the pro
ject is vital to the territory's fu
ture. "You mean it is essential that
the government do it?" Cordon
asked.
"Yes," Warne replied.
"I disagree with you," Cordon
said.
He said federal construction
of a purely power project rais
ed "grave constitutional ques
tions." Warne countered with a
list of federal power producing
projects on the Columbia river,
most of them affecting Oregon.
Cordon said all of them had
purposes besides power devel
opment.
Warne, Alaskan delegate E. L.
Bartlett, and Alaskan Gov. Er
nest Gruening all took the view
that the power need in Alaska
was so critical and financial re-

sources so limited that there
was no alternative to federal
construction.
"The question seems to me to
be, shall this power be develop
ed or not?" Gruening said. "I
hope it will not fall by the way
side over a privale-public own
ership debate because I know of
no alternative to public con
struction." He and Bartlett told Cordon
there seemed little possibility
that the area to be served by
Eklutna which includes An
chorage could finance the pro
ject through local capital. They
said the area's credit already
was strained by efforts to pro
vide basic public services to a
bulging population.
Chairman Joseph C. O'Maho-
nev raised the possibility of a
cooperative project, resembling
rural electrification. Cordon
endorsed that idea and proposed
that the committee summon

People With Odd-Sounding
Names Born Behind 8-Ball
Atlanta, Feb. 1 (U.R) After 10 years of research,- the Rev.
W. B. Garrison has concluded that if roses behaved like people,
they might not smell as sweet by any other name.
Garrison has observed that a child's given name may have
a strong influence on his success or failure in life. He strongly
warns against handing a enner
an unusual name.
One of the worst pitfalls,
Garrison said, is naming a child
after a special event, parti
cularly a girl.
In his research for dozens of
magazine articles he has written,
Garrison learned of a woman
named "Manilla Bay," who
turned out to be a spinster and
forever regretted that her name
gave away her age.
He ran across another maiden
who remained that way possibly
because her proud father bur
dened her with "Free Kansas."
If history repeats itself, Garri
son said, the country may soon
be hearing names like "Iwo
Jima," "Bastogne," "Pearl Har
bor" or "Bataan."
Wars, he said, always affect
names. Witness, "Breech-Loading
Cannon," the son of a Revo
lutionary soldier and "Genuine
English Tweed," who fought in
the Battle of New Orleans.
Odd names are handicaps
that few overcome, Garrison
said. Judge Kenneshaw Moun
tain Landis, named after the
1860 engagement, gained fame
as a federal jurist and the first
baseball commisioner but, Garri
son pointed out he was always
thankful that he wasn't born
after the Battle of Bull Run.
One person Garrison found
who succeeded in life against an
almost insurmountable obstacle
was the 15th son of a Puritan
named Barebone. The child was
christened "If Christ Had Not
Died For Thee Thou Hadst Been
Damned Barebone."
He grew up to be a doctor of
divinity, known and honored as
"Dr. Damned Barebone."
