Adequate Attention To Mental Patients Urged by Psychiatrist New York U.PJ A noted authority said Thursday com munities and their leaders should interest themselves in the treatment and care of the men tally ill and "preventive psy chiatry? as protection against murderous lunatics. George S. Stevenson, M.D., former president of the Ameri can Psychiatric Association and medical director of the National Association for Mental Health, pointed out that the public was by no means blameless in the tragedies authored by Bayard Peakes and other maniacs. Public Responsible The public, in its indifference, is ultimately responsible for the "terrible inadequacies" of its own facilities for the mentally ill, particularly state . mental hospitals, . he said. .... v .... .-. Hospitalization of the-physi- cally ill costs $15 a day at a minimum, yet the so-called "pro gressive" states spend a little more than $2' a day to "hospital ize" the mentally ill. Mine, which had the first opportunity to deal with Peakes as a sick person, spends around $1.67 a day. "That isn't hospitalization, at all," Stevenson added: "It's the 'asylum approach' to a highly important part of public health." Method Outlined In an interview with the United Press, Stevenson outlined what the public can do to pre vent mad murders. . "The public should be inter ested in all state and federal psychiatric services and should do everything possible to make them function," he said. "Par ticularly, it should insist on re ductions in the overcrowding of state institutions for the men tally ill and see to it that they have competent staffs of suf ficient size. Should Extend Services "Communities and their lead ers should seek to extend their psychiatric services Into the community and get at the people who need them and thus protect such individuals as Peakes from their own inclinations. Psychi atric clinics should exist in .every community. "There should be a build-up of the capacity of general hospitals to deal with psychiatric prob lems, and many general hospitals are woefully weak in this ca pacity now. And there should be a build-up of the abilities of various kinds of professional functionaries to deal with them." s Central Point Woman 84th Flights Patient A 30-year-old Central Point woman, a polio patient, was flown to Eugene late yesterday by Mercy Flights, according to representatives of the non-prof it ;air-. ambulance, service. The woman, the 84th-patient to be flown by Mercy Flights, is a subscriber to the air ambulance plan. She was flown to Eugene in the organization's Cessna plane.

Mandolins Expected To Regain Popularity Chicago U.R) Haul that mandolin out of the attic. The American Music Confer ence predicts that the mandolin, forced into obscurity by the rise of jazz and the tenor banjo, will regain its popularity this year.

Other gossip columns related Aly's friendships with Heide Beer, the estranged, blonde and beautiful wife of British band leader Sidney Beer, and Boston divorcee Nancy Masseroni. "Rita tired of this Moslem conception of marriage, that the wife is a possession to be shown off while the husband is free to come and go as he pleases," a friend of the red-haired beauty says.
