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.

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."

attendants." There were no com
plaints. The untidy ones became
tidy overnight. The "social pres

did what the drug had done.
These drugs, chlorprornazine
and reserpine, are wonderful.

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

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

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.

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

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.

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.

Mn.J.T.
(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. Nor could he continue
