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."

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.
