(International Sowidphot) Great Need People in Treatment of United Press Science Editor New York (U.R) A science reporter's observation after four days among the insane is that it is easy to understand why it is so difficult to interest so-called sane people in their past, pres ent, and future. It's an insult to us a slap in the face the way they have the nerve to be so much like us, and yet so different. They're ter ribly ill these people; they didn't will it and they cant' help it, any more than a person ill of cancer or tuberculosis can help it. But these people seem to car icature us, to mimic and mock us. I saw a young woman cud dling a tiny object in tenderly folded arms. From a distance, she looked 'Sike a young mother with her first born. Her "baby" was a rubber doll unfortu nately, unhappily, and tragical ly. This reporter's first reaction was emotional. Reporters, how ever, have to deal with facts and so should all of us. One fact is that "sanity" and "insanity" are most inept words. There is neither pure white nor complete black. Grays begin with gray wlftte and darken into blackish grays but they're all grays and they're all human beings, those who are mentally well5 and ill. Cures Are Possible '. Another fact is that science can, in all probability, find the causes and the remedies for mental diseases but could find thesa much sooner if enough of us provided the encouragement of interest and support upon which science and everything else thrives. The answers are buried within til of us because mental illnesses are bound up in the mysteries of why and how we human beings behave as we do. The abnormal behavior of the mentally ill merely is a variant of normal behavior. Dr. Robert A. Cohen, director of clinical investigations at the National Institute of Men tal Health pointed it out, and it '. is obvious enough. How to jump to the Illinois '. State Research Hospital at Gales burg and Dr. Yester H. Rudy, its superintendent. He had a ward of 20 "untidy" patients. Let's not mince words "untidy" sim ply means, not toilet-trained. Tjhey were put on one 01 tne new tranquilizing drugs. When tran- quilized by this means, 19 of the 20 became trainable, at least in tidiness. Social Pressure Worked A miracle, you say. And it was. But Dr. Rudy had another batch of "untidy" patients. Their ward had to be painted and there was no place to put them. He distributed them by one and twos in the "tidy" wards and, in his words, "waited for the complaints from the nurses and Chemical Analysis Reveals True Value Columbus, O. (U.R) Through chemical analysis, Dr. Earle R Caley of Ohio State University is able to tell if coins and other ancient brass objects are the real thing. By studying coins of known date, the professor has learned that the oldest. Roman coins struck from the alloy contained the least copper and the most zinc. In the 250 years during which the Romans used brass, there was a steady increase in the amount of zinc in the coins. He pointed out that by deter mining the zinc content of a coin it was possible to establish roughly the earliest date at which a brass coin could have been made. "The earliest known Roman brass coins were issued under Julius Caesar about 45 B.C., but the abundant issue of such coins did not begin until about 2 B.C. uncler Augustus," said. "Vast numbers of these coins were issued finder various em perors between this date' and 200 A.D., the approximate time of the end of theancient coinage of this alloy." rvHspc Seen To Interest attendants." There were no com plaints. The untidy ones became tidy overnight. The "social pres sure" of their new ward mates did what the drug had done. These drugs, chlorprornazine and reserpine, are wonderful. They make the violent tranquil I and the "violent wards" have disappeared from all the mental hospitals. But they're not cures they're not even treatments in themselves. They make the ill accessible for treatment. The re A Ncno's Worth of . . Comment On By HARMAN United Pra Washington (U.R) When you i sit down to get folksy with the "most perfect woman in the world," the talk runs to salads, orange juice and black cows. Hillevi Rom bin of Uppsa la, Sweden, happens to be "Miss Uni verse" of 1956. Harmon NichoU ane o e a r i y loves America, their salads and orange squeezins and black cows. I'll have to confess that, she didn't know much about black cows until I introduced her to one. She said she had run into a brown Swiss in Switzerland, once. But Hillevi learns right fast. When I toe her into the drug store i$ the Statler hotel and ordered a black cow she said "Wow!" and smacked her pretty red lis over a ball of chocolate ice cream, with a fizzed coke pitched in the cup. Perfect Measurements The 21-year-old cutie is tagged as perfect, because her measure ments are. Something that Chris tian Dior would like to wrap a gown around. She is five feet seven inches tall. She weighs 129 pounds. Her eyes are blue, her locks are blonde and most important, the rest of her adds up to: Bust 36, wist 23, and hips 36. Match that anywhere. And if you do you can add on Hellevi's chart that she has grace and charm and not only that knows how to handle reporters. I thought it would be a good stunt to have the photographer gag it up and have me lift up the young lady so I could say that with "Miss Universe" up there I had the "weight of the world" on my shoulders. She thought that was too cor ny. So we posed her in a sweater job with her hands caressing an illuminated globe. It probably was prettier that way, but the photographer didn't boot me for thinking. One of Miss Rombin's prizes was a tryout with Universal-International Pictures. She made her debut in a small role in "The Benny Goodman Story." She speaks very good English, and in addition to Swedish, she wags a fancy tongue in Spanish, German and French. She was considerably better than a back yard variety of gal athlete back home. She was girl's high school high-jump champion with a bounce of 1.48 meters (however high up that is) and once had a When GEORGE LEWIS t j ROGUE TRAVEL SERVICE A FREE SERVICE We Reserve and Sell Airline and Steamship Tickets PHONE 2-6779 Insane sult is that mental patients every- rwhere who had seemed hopeless are being returned to society. Yet in many mental patients they are ineffective. Some are even made worse. Why? What makes the drugs work in some and not in others? That's much more than just a $64 or even a $64,000 question. And the sci ence of the human mind in health and disease has many more, and some are even more difficult. . This and That W. NICHOLS Future Writer notion to help Sweden out in the 1956 Olympics. A movie career shut off that hope. Fell on Hofthallare During the interview we fell to talking about things tcj eat. A nice topic. We were running through a mouth watering gamut of salads and hamburgess and black cows when all of a sudden, the lovely gal said: "Did I tell you about the time when the photographers asked me to kick a football and I fell on my 'hofthallare.' " I said I hadn't heard that one. About that time the phone rang and she had to run out to go on the video. Next morning I got to think ing it over and since she had fled town by that time I had to call the Swedish embassy. The press attache there s'aid he had never head of the word "hofthallare." Maybe it was be cause I said I thought it had something to do with something else. I spelled it again and finally he said: "Now I remember," he said. '."Hofthallare' is the Swedish word for a woman's girdle." I should have known.' Japanese Sincerity Questioned by Seoul Seoul, Republic of Korea U.R) Cho Chung Whan, acting foreign minister of the Republic of Korea, Monday questioned Japan's sincerity in seeking friendship with the Seoul gov ernment. Cho said he could not under stand why Japanese Foreign Minister M a m o r u Shigemitsu told the Japanese parliament that United States mediation was needed to solve the long standing dispute between the two Asian neighbors: "If the Japanese are truly sincere," Cho said, "why can't they solve the problems directly with us?" Returned Hunter Finds Home Not the Same Scottsville, Mich. (U.PJ Rob ert Howe figured something must have happened when he arrived home from deer hunting and found the house empty. And a few things had happened, too. His wife, Audrey, was in the hospital with a new baby daugh ter, and his father, Harry,, 62, was in the hospital recovering from a heart attack and broken hip, which he suffered during the arrival of the baby. LOBBY HOTEL JACKSON Port of Astoria Eyes Bridge Oyer Columbia Astoria U.R) The Port of Astoria has taken steps to deter mine what sources of federal funds might be available to con struct a bridge between Astoria and the north shore of the Co lumbia river, according to Rich ard Bettendorf, port manager. The A. C. Alyn company of Chicago has been retained by the Port to have a qualified rep resentative in Washington, D.C., ovnlnrp thp situation with ai $2500 limit set to be paid for the service. Bettendorf said that it is the belief of the port commission that the bridge is essential to the future growth of Astoria. A study of the availability of state funds for the project has indi cated that it would be some time before any would be avail able. Youthful Roseburg Jail Rioters Cooled Roseburg W.R) Five teen age boys rioted in the Douglas county jail here Sunday night, then slept in the sub-freezing weather after law enforcement officers had quelled the disturb ance. The youths, lodged in the jail j on charges of car theft and burg- i lary, smashed furniture and! windows and set fire to mat- j tresses before they, could be subdued. Damage to the jail was esti mated at $150 by Sheriff Ira Byrd. After the riot had been quelled, officials left the five in the same cell with the 25 de gree elements streaming in from the smashed windows. OSC Beer Bust Brings Suspension of Four Corvallis -CU.R) Four Oregon State College students were out of school today, the result of a week end beer party in a room of one of the college dormitories. Dean of men L. E. Darlington recommended the suspension yesterday after the four were apprehended by campus police drinking beer in one of the four's room in Jefferson hall, a division of the central mens' dormitory building. The four, James Pritchard, Bangor, Pa.; John Hamilton Sears, Palo Alto, Calif:; Earl M. Young, Middletown, Pa., and Pete K. Martin, Hollywood, Calif., all were students in the school of forestry. The suspension, as handed down by college president Dr. A. L. Strand, is for an indefinite period. Japan Silent on Accepting Tokyo Rose Tokyo U.R) The chief of the Im.r.igration bureau today re fused to say whether Japan wilf accept U.S.-born "Tokyo Rose" j if she is deported by the United j States. ' , "We will make a decision I when we are faced with the ac tuality," said Fujio Uchida, chief of the Justice Ministry's Immi gration bureau. ' . "Off hand I would say it ap pears strange that the U.S. gov ernment should start deporta tion proceedings against her when she was born in the U.S. and is an American citizen," he said.

(A) I think you have hit the nail on the head and explained why you are unappreciated at home. If you are unhappy and concerned about whether to leave your home and go away with another man, it is sure to be reflected in your behavior. Under such conditions, it is not surprising that your hus band does not find you a very congenial companion and that he is showing less interest in you than he formerly did. As for your daughters, " girls in the early teens are almost al ways critical of their parents. Your attitude unquestionably has intensified this and has made thenff sense that you are neither interested in them nor sympathetic toward their prob lems because you are too wrapped up in your own prob lems. ' Certainly you would not be fair to your family or to your self if you left your family for this man.

(U.R) George Sherman, 26, arrested by conservation officers for posses sing a deer with antlers less than three inches long, old Justice Edward Dresser that he shot the horn off. "The deer had only one ant ler when I shot and the bullet must have broken the horn off," Sherman said. But he couldn't produce the horn and as a result pleaded guilty and was fined $50. to work with your husband if he literally stole his friend's wife from under his nose. The other people he is associated with would shun him for this and he would have to find another job. Forget this romance and try to settle down to making a hap py home for your family.
