Pickin' Pears By SID HOLLINGSWORTH ' Social service has been a lac- tor in Veterans Administration hospitals for some time, but only recently was it decided to ex tend this consultation aid to vet erans living in domiciliary quar ters. ' A year ago a specialist in this kind of therapy-and aid was at tached to the staff of Camp White domiciliary. He is Her bert S. Daniels, a Navy vteran himself with graduate work at the University of Southern Cali fornia. - - "Social service," he explains, "is a professional service to vet erans,-the medical and adminis trative staffs and the commu nity. It helps our members with environmental and personal dif ficulties related to their illness." Economics, social and emotion al problems of domiciled veter ans which may prevent their making the best use of the bene fits to which they are entitled are considered. Daniels' office is located in the medical building and those cases involving something of a psychological approach can be referred to him. The need for such service in all VA centers is apparent, but the exact 'nature of the work is difficult to .ex plain owing to changing .condi tions and the confidential mat ters that are considered.

"This ' concept at the patient as a 'person' which considers all the aspects of illness, has united social case work with the other specialties in medicine," he says. "Casework service' to 4he in dividual member or. patient is the primary function oi the divi sion. It's concern is human be havior and human relationships focused toward the individual's self-realization and his social ad justment. Among the factors con sidered in the helping process are the background and the per sonality of a client. "The practice of social work attempts to decrease emotional hazards and to mobilize inner capacities toward helping a per son meet life's problems and to use its opportunities toward be coming. a useful and happy, mem ber of society." One of the main conditions limiting the use of this service by more' veterans is their reluc tance to seek help with their problems because of fear that asking for help acknowledges defeat, Daniels points out. "When this initial step is tak en and they learn more of our ability. to help, these men will seek and benefit by social ther apy." he adds. "A social worker has" respect for the dignity of the individual human personal ity and has faith in the ultimate capacity of the common man to advance toward higher goals. "He attempts to "understand a person and his total situation and not. merely the words he uses. In order to help others, the worker must understand and control his own attitudes and beliefs which may affect the es tablishment of personal relations so necessary in this- work. "Our contacts with the" veter ans may be at any or all stages of their domiciliation. On admission,- we- help members with their orientation to trie domicil iary and at the time of discharge, we help them plan their future activities. "The majority of our work, however, ' consists of helping' them to adjust within the domi ciliary setting and to progress toward their rehabilitation."

R E D 1 A (j R Red Cross Seeks Replacement Blood From Recipients The Jackson County chapter of the American Red Cross is opening a campaign to call to the attention of those receiving free blood from its collection program the desirability of "pay ing back" the blood bank for the amount "used. Only a few of the thousands of pints of blood collected here during the bloodmobile pro grams have been credited to those who have received blood either directly or by relatives who are giving blood on their behalf. In the future, each individual who receives a blood transfusion at the hospitals here will receive a letter from the Red Cross, pointing out the difficulty in ob taining blood supplies, and that the blood they had received was "provided without charge to you through the voluntary donations of others. Your Red Cross paid the cost ot collection, processing and distribution," the letter points out. "Replacement is not compul sory," it adds, but asks that the individual indicated whether his family participates in the blood donor program regularly, wheth er his "family or friends will be in to donate blood so others may haVe it available when needed," or. whether he is "un able to recruit' volunteer donors." State Legal Expert To Resign August 1 ' Salem (U.R) Wallace Mills has resigned as head of the legal department for the State Public Utilities Commission ' effective August 1 to go into private prac- aice.

Ellis got up and tried to bar the bed room door but Garrett fired through the door, the bullet striking Ellis in the right arm. Shot Severed Vein Garrett then departed, Mrs. Garrett said, and Ellis, who- was naked, ran out into the road where he collapsed. Police said the shot evidently severed a ma jor blood vein in his arm Empire Police Officer H. T. Kendall was summoned and he with other police, officers went to the Garrett home nearby and arrested Garrett who had climb ed into bed. -He offered no resis tance, Kendall said. Progressive Party U.S. History's Greatest War Monger Chicago (U.R) Progressive Party members began drafting their platform Saturday after hearing their keynote speaker call the United States "the great est war monger in history."

Voters Must Look Beyond Party Labels To Pick Congressmen (Editor's note: Following it the third in a series of articles. prepared: by Congressional Quarterly, discussing the na tional ' political conventions and how a president is elect ed.) Washington (CQ) A voter who is playing it smart in No vember will pay more attention to individual candidates than to party labels. . A Congressional Quarterly study " of the current Congress shows it is. usually individual philosophy rather than party lines that counts when it comes to showdown voting. A vote next fall for some Democrats, for instance, might actually be a boost for a program usually OPS Sets Ceilings For Lumber Cut in 12 Western States Dollars-and-cents manufactur ers' ceilings on standard sizes and grades of lumber of railroad ties cut from western pine and other softwood species in 12 Western states were announced last week by the Office of Price Stabilization. The ceilings are set up in Ceil ing Price Regulation 152, which became effective. June 30. The regulation affects ponderosa pine, lodgepole pine, inland pine, lodgepole pine, incland larch, engelman spruce, incense cedar and inland red cedar in the 12 western states. It also applies to douglas fir and white white fir grown east of the Cascade mountains in Oregon and Washington and in the states where those firs grow. - The new regulation applies to an annual timber production of about 7V billion board feet, roughly one-fifth of the lumb er produced in the United States. This yearly production is valued at $900,000,000. The regulation was issued to provide uniform and equitable price ceilings consistent with the requirements of the defense pro gram. It is expected to iron out disparities between producers frozen under the General Ceil ing Price Regulation in January. Three types of timber found in this area are affected by the New OPS regulation. They are ponderosa pine, sugar pine and incense csdar. Jackson county fir continues to be regulated by ceilings set up in an earlier reg ulation pertaining to firs and hemlocks in the Pacific north west. ..... "For limited retail sales less than 20,000 board feet, produc ers may add $9 per 1,000 board feet to the basic ceilings. Per sons buying or selling more than this 20,000-foot limit must keep the records of their purchases or sales for two years. Ceilings for non-standard items which, cannot be priced otherwise under the regulation must be determined by applica tion to the OPS Forest Products division, Washington 25, D. C. Keynoter Calls have poured millions of gal lons of flaming gasoline on shrieking men, women and chil dren and turned a helpless na tion into a stinking desert." Party Platform He said the Progressive Party platform contains these planks: Peace, stop the Korean war, of fer friendship to the Soviet Un ion and People's Republic of China, and restore and rebuild the. United States. Senator Morse Attacks 'Smear' on Humphrey Washington (U.R) Sen. Wayne L. Morse (R-Ore.) said Saturday that Communists are circulating against Sen. Hubert H. Humphrey (D-Minn.) "one of the most vicious smear propa ganda campaigns that I have ever hear against a public offi cial." He told the Senate that the action stemmed from Humph rey's investigation of Commun ist infiltration in labor unions.

" ' Coalition in House In the House of Representa tives there has emerged a clear cut voting coalition made up of half of the southern Democrats and almost all of the Republi cans. This coalition won out on half of the more controversial votes in the 82nd Congress, a CQ analysis showed. So a voter who favored a particular legis lative program would have to determine whether the candidate was in or out of the coalition. In northern states a voter could pick his Representative by party and be reasonably sure of the sort of representation he would get. But in the South, the odds are 50-50 that the candidate will kick over the traces and vote with the other party when the chips are down. The -voter will have to study individuals in the South, not party labels. In Senate voting, no clear-cut party patterns were found, but also no clear-cut coalition. Party fence jumping was so common in the 82nd Congress, the CQ study showed, that individual political philosophy rather than party region was the deciding factor in five of every six party-controversy votes. The number of Republicans voting frequently with the majority of the Demo crates on key issues was almost exactly the same as the number of Democrats voting with the Republicans. So voters in all states who want a particular program sup ported in the vital Senate votes will have to pick a Senator who stands for that program regard-, less of party label. Montana Cowboy Wins At Klamath Roundup Klamath Falls (U.R) Bill Lindeman of Red Lodge, Mont., Saturday was the champion of the 1952 Klamath Basin round up.

Then, while Reiter hustled Paulsonoff to jail, he -discovered that the ignition of his own car parked nearby had been tampered with and the contents of the glove compartment set afire. Paulson, however, meekly ad mitted he had wrecked the ig nition trying to start the offi cer's car, and then had ignited papers from the compartment to provide light to fix it.

Compromise Offered For Portland Airport Force has made four concessions to the Port of Portland for use of facilities at Portland Inter national airport, according to word received Saturday from Sen. Wayne Morse. Morse said the compromise plan was offered Friday to the port commission by" Air Force Secretary Thomas K. Finletter. Morse said the offers were about as far as the Air Force could go without more legisla tive authorization, but he point ed out that Airport Manager Jack Winn had not committed the Port of Portland to accept the offers.
