BEFORE MARRIAGE
URGED FOR STATE
Legislation Is Advised by
Governor's Committee to
. Weed Out Mentally Unfit
: and Stop Disease Spread
i SALEM. July 13. (API Physical
elimination at all male and female
marriage license appllcanta to "pre
vent the production and propagation
of the mentality unlit and to prevent
transmission of disease" would be re
quired under recommendations sub
mitted today by the governor's spe
cial committee appointed to study
the state psychiatric problem.
The committee's four other recom
mendations, designed to relieve over
crowding of state hospitals, were:
Extending the child guidance pro
gram of the University of Oregon
medical school, now limited to Mult
nomah county, throughout the state.
Psychiatric Hospital treed.
Establishing a psychiatric hospital
at the University of Oregon medical
school to treat curable cases, patients
discharged from state hospitals and
patients who do not need hospital!'
ration.
Permission from the legislature for
the board of control and the board of
higher education to enter contractual
agreements tor building and mam
tenance at the University of Oregon
medical school.
Revision and codification of all
Oregon laws providing for the care
of the mentally sick.
The committee said the ratio of In
sane and feeble-minded persons to the
total population Increased from 311
per 100,000 In 1921 to 460 per 100,000
In 1935.
Service Held Needed.
The recommendations, If- adopted,
would "go far toward placing Oregon
In a position favorably comparable
with other states In the care of the
mentally sick, and would provide ad
ditional service needed In Oregon,"
the committee said.
About 140.000 persons enter mental
hospitals annually throughout the
United States, tne committee saia, as
serting It wished to sponsor "well
supervised and sensible sterilization
and an Intelligent, suitable marriage
law" to prevent this Influx.
There have been 1000 sterilization
operations In Oregon since the ster
ilization law was pasted In 1923, the
committee asserting the law should
be extended to Include "many unde
sirables who have their liberty.
Instable Offspring.
! "These people are propagators of
offspring who are unstable, many of
whom are headed directly toward a
state Institution. If the legislature
passes our marriage law there would
be less need for sterilization."
The patient now must give his con
. sent before being sterilized.
The committee said the present
marriage law Is unsatisfactory be
cause It requires only physical exam
ination of men. the law being "un
concerned whether women scatter ve
nereal Infection or not.
"Our mental defectives, Insane, ep
ileptics, chronic criminals, chronic
alcoholics and drug addicts are per
mitted to enter lnt o wedlock and
nrnnaeate children If they so desire."
The proposed marriage law would
require the marriage applicants to oe
examined for venereal diseases, men
tal Illness, physical degeneracy, her
edity and other things.
