EIGHT MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE Wednesday. May 4, 1955 Russians Using Deep Sleep in Treatment Of Mental Disorders By DELOS SMITH United Press Science Editor New York U.R) For what ever it may mean to future re lations between the sciences of Soviet and the sciences of the West, Dr. O. V. Kerkikov, di rector of the phychiatric clinic of the Moscow Medical Institute, has contributed a scientific pa per to "The Lancet," the cele brated British medical journal with a world-wide circulation. Russian contributions to west ern journals have been non existent for yean now. Just the fact of its p u bl i c a 1 1 o n was enough to stir interest. But its contents had fascination because it revealed that "intermittent deep sleep lasting 10 to 20 hours Kilowatts Kept on Nip and Tuck Basis Portland (U.R) One of the latest spring runoffs in Colum bia river history is continuing to keep Pacific Northwest kilo watts on a nip and tuck- basis, Bonneville Power Administra tion officials said today. Full restoration of industrial interruptible power loads may be delayed until late May be cause of the cool weather and the shutdown of 200,000 kilo watts of generation at Hungry Horse dam for tailrace repairs, officials said. Good water conditions at tream run plants of other north west power pool utilities on both sides of the Cascades are sustaining near-capacity hydro generation. Additional of 116,000 kilo watts of new generation at Mc Nary and Lookout point dams on April 28 plus a forecast of gradual rising temperatures should enable BPA to meet a large part of interruptible loads on a day to day basis and keep steam requirements to a mini mum, officials said.

The patients are made to sleep with a wide variety of drugs, a particular drug being chosen to fit a particular patient. But the Russian doctors use small doses and "reinforce" the drugs by letting blue light flash monot onously in the sleep wards,' or by setting a muffled metronome to ticking monotonously. They also put heat-producing poultices on the patients and put hot water bags into the beds with them since warmth also encourages sleep. Electric Sleep Machine He revealed that Russian psy chiatrists began developing an "electro-sleep" in 1946. Elec trodes are attached in appro priate positions to the patient's head. The result, he said, is "a slight pulsation felt deep behind the eyes and a slight - pricking in the eyelids. After 15 to 30 minutes most patients begin to feel sleepy, and gradually they fall asleep." And since 1949, he, continued, the Russians have been inducing prolonged sleep by infusing al coholic solutions into the veins of patients. "After studying the short-term and long-term effects of alcohol in dogs, and demon strating the harmlessness of ap propriate doses of the alcoholic mixture on ourselves, we pro ceeded to treat patients," he said. Ganglord Killers Vanish in Texas Fort Worth, Tex.-4U.R) The slayers of ganglord Cecil Green, one of the Southwest's most no torious hoodlums whose crimi nal connections reached into Los Angeles and Kansas City, had lost themselves in the haze1 of the underworld. Green was ambushed in his air - conditioned, green Cadillac in front of a drive-in cafe in sub urban Fort Worth a few minutes before midnight Monday. True to, the last to the underworld code, he died 16 hours later without naming his killers. Green was cut down even as he himself faced trial on an in dictment for the "guarantee" murder of Texas oil millionaire William P. Clark. He was freed in $15,000 bond three weeks ago and a trial date was pending. Dallas Detective Capt. P. B. Leech said- Green was a suspect in a recent Seattle burglary.- He said Green was known to have underworld connections in Kan sas' City arid Los Angeles in ad dition to Fort Worth. Coquille Plywood Plant Closes Down Coquille (U.R) The Coos Bay Lumber Company plant here was shut down today after a last minute meeting yesterday between company - and union representatives failed to produce an agreement. Max Swerking, spokesman for Plywood, Lumber and Sawmill Workers local 2691, met with Coos Bay executives yesterday and following the meeting the union decided to close down the plant effective at 9 a.m. About 900 men are employed at the Coquille plywood plant. Pay Increase Bill Defeated by House Salem (U.R) The House has killed by a vote of 32 to 28 a bill that would have increased the maximum pay for a host of appointive officers of the state. A bill increasing the pay for elective officers was sent back to the Joint Ways and Means Committee for further study. The pay raise measure came under fire from members who ob jected to the salary relationships between department heads, claiming that the increases voted by the ways and means commit tee did not accurately reflect the importance of the jobs. Lehi II Owners Unable To Find Boat To Tow Raft San Francisco --(U.R) The owners of the Lehi II were having trouble today persuading the owners of fishing boats to tow the raft to port. Ed Torrey, Alameda boat builder and one of the owners, flew over the raft in a chartered plane yesterday and reported it was still afloat 70 miles south west of Monterey. Fishermen Busy "We haven't been able to get a fisherman to tow her in," he said. "They are all busy fishing for salmon." He said the Lehi II has $14, 000 worth of equipment aboard. Torey said he may go to Morro Bay with Gary Martin, son of Al Martin of Oakland, another owner. "We will try to put Gary on the Lehi so that it cannot be con sidered free pray to salvagers," he said. Inquiry Scheduled Meanwhile, a three-man Coast Guard board scheduled an in quiry at 9 a.m. tomorrow into the ill-fated voyage of the raft. A Coast Guard cutter plucked Skipper DeVere Baker and four crewmen from the raft early Monday morrJng after they mes saged they were taking on water Baker and his companions had hoped to drift to Hawaii, subsist ing on fish and distilled sea wa ter. Torrey also said if there is another voyage, Baker will play a subordinate role. He said backers of the Lehi Scientific Expeditions, Inc. "voted to re place Baker with a qualified li censed skipper should we recover the raft. . J 'Baker could go along, but only as head scientist," he said. 11 Liquor Stills Seized in Oregon Portland (U.R) Assistant Liquor Administrator Thomis Sheridan told a liquor commis sion meeting here yesterday that 11 liquor stills were seized in Oregon during 1954. That number was three more than the total of stills uncovered in 1953. - Sheridan said five of the stills were seized by OLCC inspectors, four by teams of OLCC men and treasury department alcohol and tobacco tax unit men, and two were stumbled on by state game officers while on other investigations.- The stills averaged a 35-gallon capacity and most of the boot leg liquor went to neighbors and friends of the still operators. Conservation of Soil Declared Important To Future of Nation (Editor's note: This it the fourth in a series of articles being published this week in connection with Conservation of Natural Resources week. May 1 to 7.) Br CLEM AULT U.S. Soil Conservationist "Soil conservation so what? What interest is it to me? Let the farmer worry about his land." These are the thoughts that might pass through the average layman's mind when the subject is presented. But should he be so shortsighted? Is this matter of soil conservation one for the farmer alone? Soil and good soil management are essential to continuation and prosperity of any community or civilization, according to histor ians. We have only to check the record or visit the rums of Babylon, Mesopotamia, parts of Egypt, Palestine and others to verify this fact. To put it more directly, good well-managed soil means abundant food, as we now have in America; poor or scarc ity of good soil means scarcity of food. Our children may see the day when surpluses of food are a thing of the past when one short crop could mean a short food surplus. Perhaps this soil conservation program is every body's business. To be sure, the farmer may own the land, but if an abundant supply of good soil and good food run hand in hand, should it not be the concern of all of us just how that soil is being used. Is it's present .use wise? Is the soil staying in place or eroding badly? Is the fertility or productive ability being de pleted? How about the water holding capacity? - In spite of huge reservoirs built by man, our soils are many times over our greatest reservoir for water storage. As soils erode they not only lose water-holding capacity but in most cases the rate at which soils take up water is greatly reduced, thus we not only lose water but contribute to flood hazards. All Have Stake Perhaps we all have a stake in this soil of ours. Perhaps we should encourage the farmer or give more of an assist to assume good land use; that is, use it ac cording to the capability of each parcel of land. "' Soil Conservation Districts are being organized throughout the United States in Oregon and in Jackson county to work on this problem. Here we have the Rogue and the Sams Valley Beagle Soil Conservation dis tricts. Through these districts farmers' soils are being classi fied. Then farm or ranch con servation plans are developed with the farmer. The plan is de signed to fit the soils of each farm, the farmer's enterprises and interests. These plans, based on soils in formation at hand, may include suggestions for proper crop rota tions, range management, stock water developments, timber management, fertilizer recom mendations,, improvement or lay out of irrigation systems, land leveling, wildlife improvement, and drainage. All or part of these items may be fitted into a soil and water conservation plan for a farm. The farmer may receive assistance through his Soil Con servation district from one or several state and federal agencies in carrying out his plan.

The super visors of these districts stand r? 1y and willing within iheir mans to give an assist to any farmer, large or small, on any soil or water management prob lem. Aside from the fact that there is a shortage of technicians to handle existing requests for con servation projects, it is evident that local machinery la ,pretty well set up for the interested or conservation-minded farmer. But how about the farmer not inter ested in soil conservation, or var ious planning organizations J wnich are working, or develop ments being carried out, taking up thousands of acres of our good productive soil annually with no thought being given to the nation's probable food needs in the next 25 to 50 years, or to the agriculture of southern Ore gon 25 years hence. To be sure, we have other lands that can be developed, but this is costly, and in many cases such lands will never compare with the good lands we are losing today with little or no apparent concern. Needs Told Our greatest needs today, ac cording to Don Minear. chairman of the Rogue Soil Conservation district, are "(l) to have every man, woman and child in the area realize how important soil is to him or her personally, (2) to become acquainted with their soil conservation district snnpr. visors, attend our meetings, find out our needs and volunteer just a little assistance (reeardless. if you are banker, lawyer, student, teacher, or merchant there is a place where you can assist), (3) after each has learned about soil and the need for conservation, talk it regularly so that the non interested farmer, directors of various local and state planning organizations, and heads of de velopment nroerams mav iw in fluenced before we in the Rogue valley and the nation as a whole find we are way short on eood productive soil." Yes, soil conservation should be everybody's business.
