DUCKY 1 L youoL I SC4S4toV4.f J THAKX fOiJlP OP TMt MX 1b Mueller i Psychiatry Said Only Small Part Of Criminal Behavior Dealings By DELOS SMITH United Piess Science Editor New York (U.R) Two leaders in the field of reforming law breakers through mental science are trying to put brakes on en thusiasts who keep proclaiming that psychiatry has the answers for criminal behavior. Psvchiatrv is and has to be onty a small auxiliary of the con- J i i r . -it. venuonai means oi ueamig wiui criminals, according td Dr. Me litta Schmideberg and Jack So- kol, executive committee chair man '"and executive director re spectively of the Association for Psychiatric Treatment of Offend' ers. They made their views pub lic in an address sponsored by the National Association for Mental Health. Just suppose that criminal courts were converted into "di agnostic centers" to find out what ailed criminals mentally, they said. Not even "diagnostic centers" could be permitted to "function in any way that vio lates our constitutional privi leges and political setup.O Names Make no Difference "Guilt or innocence must Tbe legally ascertained. And when guilt is established something ob viously must be done about it. Whether we call it a sentence or ' period of treatment makes little difference to the offender or his custodians or supervisors." The two experts said they pioubt vtije distorted minds of criminals could be straightened out in prison or in any other authori&tive setting" which in volved parole or probation offi cers o)other officials represent ing the authority of society. In such settings, thy noted, the criminal can only" identify the phyitftian trying to heal him with thectticials restraining or punishing him and so he pre vents the physician from getting to his mind. They thought psychiatric treat ment could be fully effective . only when it was given "inde pendent of any authoritative set up" when it was "detached, but not isolated" from the official agencies dealing with law-breakers when it was "working in the same direction" as those agencies. 0 Statisiic"'Chill Enthusiasm They also tried to chill the en thusiasts with statistics. They es timated some 600,000 persons are convict of law-breaking traffic laws excluded annually. Of that number 200 or less get psychia tric treatment by private psychia trists and 500 to a thousand in public agencies and institutions. "Yet," they said, "we have by now become accustomed to hear and read statements by promi nent psychiatrists, psychologists, and social workers overzealously proclaiming that psychotherapy is the pre-eminent antidote for criminal behavior. O "Some even go further and say that all other methods are antiquated and should be imme diately replaced by psychiatry and psychotherapy. These view points may or may not prove to be true; it remains to be seen. But the attempt to establish a case based on such small samples is unscientific. A Nichol's Worth of . . . Comment On This and That By HARMAN W. NICHOLS United Pre Fajtui Writar 4 Washington (U.R) When my friend Jim Campbell was in Ger many 10 years ago the lingo of the land floored him. At that time, he was so busy helping to clean up t h e rubble of war that about all the German he learned was to say 'schnapps' when he was thirsty and Harman Nichols "g e s undheit when he wanted to bless some body who had sneezed. Maj. James W. Campbell is now back in liermany, again assigned to U.S. Army headquar ters there. His "frau," Amy, is with him. So is the language barrier. Like the o!:her day Jim wrote that he and Amy planned to run up from Heidelberg to Bremer haven to get his car. Jim knew he couldn't get on a train with out tickets and bought some. The ticket seller, anxious to help out a "dumkopf" American, wrote on the tickets "Track 3." Threes, it seems, look the same in German and English. So Jim and Amy found the track with out difficulty. "There on Track 3, Jim wrote, "was a train to Wurzburg, which you can almost hit with a rock from Heidelberg. Heidelberg stu dents, equipped with beer steins, short-billed red caps and in full throat were giving the gol darnedest sendoff to a fellow student." There was so much hoopla that the Wurzburg train was de layed on Track 3. Everybody had to go by the departing boy's window, shake a hand, lift a stein and sing another song. After a lot of fuss, Jim and Amy learned that their train had left on Track 4. The stationmaster through an interpreter explained he didn't have the heart to move the train to Wurzburg on Track 3 until the boys had finished saying good bye.'' Jim thought it was time to tell that ticket seller a thing or nine. He did. And was told not to worry. He and Amy ccould take another train, the "schnell zug," (a fast one) pass3 the train they had missed and arrive at their destination ahead of the regular chugger. That's the way it turned out, too. 0 Jim spent a good part of the past summer at atom bomb prov ing grounds in Nevada, where there were such distractions as the earth-shaking going off of bombs amid the rattle of ivory bones and the whirl of spinning wheels innearby Las0Vegas. Jim and Amy thougfit it would be fun fo run over to Baden Baden, Germany's Las Vegas. "What a difference!" Jim said. "In Nevada you can holler your head off. stomp on the floor. No body cares. But in the casino, we thought we were walking into a pharaoh's tomb. People spoke in muted tones and quietly slid the chips onto the felt. And when the little ivory ball plunked into a spot in theOroulette wheel itd sounded like a 30-kiloton atomic bomb (-being cracked on the sands. q , "And to add insult to injury charged us three marks (slightly under 75 cents) to get into the joint." "BvX Jim and Amy did find a cheap haven in Bremerhaven a joint where a body can play a slot machine with ten-pfenning coins (about two and a half cents). Jim won nearly 20 cents. "That buys three beers in Ger many," he said, "and. you get change." NOT JUST AN ADULT DRINK .... i 4 SyWania Video Awards Presented; Improvements Eyed New York U.R) The Nation al Br -dcasting Co. has won the "show of the year" award for its television presentation of "Peter Pan." The award was one of 30 pre? sented at the 1955 Sylvania tele vision wards banquet. In, a speech, Chairman George C. Mc Connaughey of the Federal Com munications Commission said some television programming was more appropriate for the "barroom or midway" than the living room and asked views to demand improvement.

Garden Notes By C. B. CORDY County Extension . Agent for Horticulture The amount of damage from the early November freeze can still not be determined but it appears that it will be slight. Early news releases from up state indicating a severe loss to walnuts may have been exagger ated. These loss estimates were anticipations based on previous years but more crecent reports indicate that even up state the loss will not be as severe as an ticipated. Walnuts gathered locally aft er the freeze and dried3 contin ued to appear to be perfectly normal higb quality nuts. Some of bur more tender her baceous perennials and some of the tender woody plants which were not intended to grow this far north have been injured. Some of these such as hydran gea will have dieback on the tender tips. In all cases of win ter injury Qthe best procedure is to let tbe plant alone until the buds swell in the spring. At that time the extent of the injury can very readily be de termined and the damage re moved. If the plants are pruned at this time some wood which would recover may be taken out and in many cases all of thi damaged wood will not be trim med away. In addition Crimming these tender plants 'now makes them subject to further winter injury in the event of another cold spell. Along this same line thecper ennial question of when to prune walnut trees is frequently asked. If pruned now walnuts may bleed rather copiously. This bleeding may continue off and on all winter and there is no method of stopping it. In view of this it is best to delay the pruning of walnuts until just as growth is starting in the spring which will be in early May. Defense Department Said Buying Beef . Washington (U.R) Secretary oF Agriculture Ezra T. Benson has disclosea today that the De fense Department is buying beef from heavy cattle in an effort to bolster livestock prices and loring farmers a higher return. Agriculture Department offi cials said the military started making the purchases about three weeks ago. Benson noted that oPrices for heavy steers, which reached a low for the sea son during the week of Nov. 19, have rebounded as much as $1 a hundredweight at Chicago. Benson said the market had been glutted during October and November with "unusually large numbers" of heavyweight cattle. This forced prices down. He said there is a limited retail outlet for such cattle. So the Defense Department began diverting its beef purchases from lighter to heavier cattle. Court Records district rniiRT Joseph R.
