Tranquilizing' of People With Drugs Draws By DELOS SMITH United Press Science Editor New York (U.Ri The ever-increasing "tranquilizing' of Americans with drugs, which has been causing consternation and alarm among medical scientists, has, at last, drawn an official condemnation from the Ameri can Psychiatric association. It took notice of "the appar ently widespread use of the "tranquilizing drugs by the pub lic for the relief of common anx iety, emotional upsets, nervous ness, and the routine tensions of everyday living." Medically Unsound This, it said, "is medically un sound and constitutes a public danger." It then took cognizance of the .fact that physicians have been used to promote the drugs to other physicians. Physicians, it said, should not allow them selves to become involved "in public relations enterprises di rected toward the premature an nouncement of 'successful use' of particular products."

Oregon ranked 25th in state contributions. The national total amounted to S52,100.000, O'Conner said. On behalf of the 65,000 polio patients now on March of Dimes chapter rolls, O'Conner express ed gratitude to the American people who supported this year's fight against the disease. "Although we have turned the corner into what we hope will be the last mile of a long and rocky road, we still have much to achieve in the real conquest of polio," he said. In addition to continuing me dical care and rehabilitation for those afflicted by the disease," O'Conner said, the March of Dimes must carry on vital re search to consolidate and extend the great gains that have been made in polio. A third major phase of the pro gram is the training of urgently needed doctors, physical thera pists and other experts in the care of polio patients special ists whose skills will be used in the care of disabled from all dis eases. "The March of Dimes will keep its promise that no polio patient will go through life with physical handicaps that could be relieved," O'Conner said. COMFORTABLE ATTIRE Newark, N.J.

The Family Editor's Note: The FamtlT Council newspaper editor, a women's pace editor and two new-Daoer writers. These consult with rlcrcymrn ot all faiths In complete confidence- Mrs. J. T. W. He's misjudged our son-in-law. J. T. W. HeTabandoned our girl. Mrs. J. T. W. Our daughter and her husband have broken up their home after five years of marriage. They have a boy of three. My husband feels that our son-in-law has been outrageous in his behavior, but I know bet ter. I feel our daughter has led him a pretty hectic life and that she has not been faithful to him. My husband has welcomed our daughter and her child into our home and treated them as heroes and martyrs, but he in sists that my daughter file suit against her husband and make him pay through the nose. I have resisted this pressure, arguing that it is best not to goad him, but to hope for a reconciliation. My husband, however, argues that he would not stand for a reconciliation with a man who has been so unfair to his wife and child. I am afraid that my husband may drive our daughter into court and thereby cause things to be brought out that will dis grace all of us and bring a com plete and final break of the marriage. J. T. W. I cannot understand my wife's attitude. She seems to think that we should cheerfully accept our son-in-law's burdens and do nothing to make him sup port his family. I have heard hints that our daughter may have made difficulties for him, but I know that he mistreated her. I can't believe that letting him alone will solve anything. He will simply go his merry way and get used to the idea of our supporting his family. No Have a Pleasant Trip!

All letters are held doubt, he will involve himself in other obligations and then think it is a horrible imposition if .we later ask him to do some thing for his child, let alone his wife. THE COUNCIL: It does not help matters to keep a vital se cret from the young wife's fa ther. If his son-in-law is justified in leaving his wife, he should be made aware of the facts. It does not always follow that reconciliation is impossible when a wife has committed grave wrongs. Sometimes, an under standing parent can do a great deal toward bringing about a rec onciliation. In this case, how ever, ignorance is leading to un wise and dangerous pressures that may bring sordid facts to light and harm the child as well as all others in the family. Whether reconciliation is pos sible or not, the father is entitled to all the knowledge his wife possesses. Her attitude certainly does not seem right, and leads us to question her judgment. It is quite possible that she misunder stands the relationship between her daughter and son-in-law, and it is even possible that she has contributed toward the rift through a misunderstanding of the facts. If she will tell her husband what she believes, the resultant discussion may bring out and clarify the facts and result in something constructive. It is often found that people who pre sume the most and distrust oth ers the most are the least com petent to decide these questions. We strongly suspect that her judgment has been as bad in appraising the marriage and its breakup as it has been in with holding vital facts from her husband. (COPYRIGHT 1956, GENERAL FEATURES CORP.

Drugs provide a "crutch" without getting to the crippling disorder which makes the use of a crutch necessary.
