' 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.

tions in making public the char
acteristics of his specialized field
of activity, Daniels consented to
clarify '. his undertaking with a
statement of scope and purposes.
"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."

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."

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.

The thinking voter would use
a different technique in choosing
his Senator and his Representa
tivev because roll-call votes show
a different kind of lineup in each
house. " '
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.

'Firebug' Suspect
Fires Officers Car
Portland (U.R) Patrolman
Norman F. Reiter nabbed Thom
as" S. Paulson, 22, Saturday as
a suspect in the investigation of
at least 17 incendiary auto fires
in recent months.
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.
Officers doubted that Paulson
was the long-wanted ';firebug."
Compromise Offered
For Portland Airport
Force has made four concessions
to the Port of Portland for use
of facilities at Portland Inter

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.
