SIX MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL Psychiatrist Should Not By DELOS SMOTH United Press Science Editor New York 'UP) To an audi ence of physicians, a psychiatric special ist said today it was a pity that homosexuality was a tabooed subject. Otherwise, he said, there wouldn't be so many "statistical ly induced homosexuals among present-day youth because of the statistical studies of the late Dr. Alfred Kinsey into human sex ual behavior. If the subject wasn't taboo, Dr. Edmund Bergler continued in addressing the annual meet ing of the Academy of Phychoso matic Medicine, a "medical fact" would be well known to every one, and no one could be per suaded, on the basis of the Kin sey statistics, that homosexual ity is normal, common, and "sci entifically approved." Decision in Balance This persuasion, charged Dr. Bergler, is being used on youth by "older, experienced homosex uals." He said "it was quite ef fective with some borderline cases of post-adolescents in their late teens or early 20 s in whom the decision 'to be or not to be' has been hanging in the bal ance." ' Since many of these youths are not "true homosexuals," they are misled by Kinsey statis tics, "pseudo - modernity, and m i s p 1 a c ed experimentation." They "revert" to healthy sexu ality, he said, but they're for ever after "burdened with dam aging guilt and self-doubt." About 2,000 Added To Jobless in State Salem (U.R) About 2,000 persons were added to Oregon's unemployed last month, the State U n e m ployment Compensation commission has reported. Most of the unemployment rise was in western Oregon. The commission said this was the first rise in totals since 1949. It was ascribed mainly to layoffs In lumber and logging opera tions. Officials said that 15.500 work ers were looking for jobs Oct. 1, compared with 14.200 a month before and 15.900 last year. In the Portland area 1.500 fewer persons were unemployed than in 1955. but the opposite trend was reported from Eugene, Cor vallis. Bend. Grants Pass, Klam ath Falls, Medford.

Smith 2-41 16 Florence Fagalde TR-8-2611 Shady Cove ''Multiple Listing Realtor TRIBUNE Says Homosexuality Be Tabooed Subjest The "medical fact" he referred to is the general psychiatric find ing that homosexuality is a spe cific emotional disease. Bergler himself is a specialist in that dis ease, author of many technical papers on its nature and treat ment. Indeed, he is the originator ol psychoanalytic techniques by which, according to his reports in the psychiatric literature, he has "cured" more than 100 cases "cure" being measured by last ing conversion to heterosexual rty. Previously psychiatric med icine considered homosexuality an incurable disease. Caught in Middle He said today that the present time is "a transitional period, when homosexuals claim they are normal and demand recogni tion, while many heterosexuals still demand that homosexuality be punished with a prison term and the poor psychiatrist is Plans Completed For Real Estate Educational Confab Burton W. Dunn, educational supervisor with the state depart ment of real estate, met with area real estate board members yesterday ti make plans for the one-day educational conference here Tuesday, Oct. 23. The real estate conference will be held in the Medford YMCA's conference room. A luncheon is scheduled at noon at the Med ford hotel. Among speakers scheduled to appear at the conference include Frederick J. Bashaw of Palm Springs, Fla.; Charles F. Walker, former president and owner of Northwest School of Commerce, Portland, and Eugene E. Bur dick, Portland attorney and member of the Oregon real es tate board. One of 16 The conference here is one of 16 held throughout the state which are set up with the assist ance of members of local real estate boards. Board members who assisted in working out the conference program here included Willis Fasel, president; Clark Walker, Victor C. Sether, Don Herried and H. O. Martin, all of Med ford: Clarence Bell, president of the Ashland board; Dave Curtis, Oregonian Kit for Not Publishing Political News Story "The 'Oregonian' is squirming irr embarrassment because it tried to suppress news that a leading Republican conservation ist is supporting Wayne Morse for reelection." according to Bob Boyer, chairman of the Democra tic party of Oregon. "The newspaper chose to at tack the public image of Gifford Pinchot rather than face the real issue," Boyer claimed. He said the real issue is that "other newspapers throughout Oregon and across the country publish ed the news that the Oregonian refused to print." Boyer pointed out that the "Sa lem Statesman," the "Pendleton East Ofegonian," the "Medford Mail-Tribune" and the "Coos Bay Times," among other Ore- ; gon papers, "recognized this im- j portant endorsement as news." I Published in East "Even more significant," Boy er added, "is the fact that news papers on the East Coast, which carry relatively little Oregon po litical news, featured the story ! prominently." The Democratic official cited stories in the "Washington Post" and the "New York Times" as "two examples that have come to my attention. Undoubtedly there are many others," he add ed. i "Democratic candidates are at I enough of a disadvantage when it comes to campaign funds." Boyer concluded. "It is unfair ; they should be forced to spend I what little money they have to secure publication of legitimate news that the 'Oregonian,' for its own purposes, refuses to print." Playmate Confesses Slaying Young Boy Colton. Calif. (U.R) George Bryant III. eight-year-old polio victim, was found drowned Wed nesday in a hobo jungle and sher iff's deputies said a young play mate had confessed the slaying. The victim was reported miss ing Tuesday after playing hooky to go swimming in Warm Creek wash, near the jungle. His body was found when a trainman at a nearby railroad yard told depu ties a boy told him his playmate "must have drowned." Deputies said Lester Stewart. 11. admitted after questioning that he had argued and fought with George in the wash. He said he knocked young Bryant down and then held his head under wa ter in a 10-inch deep pool. Friday.

He advocated a lifting of the taboo on the subject, especially by newspapers, magazines, ra dio, and TV, saying their "con spiracy of silencee " was harm ful because "by puritanically avoiding discussion of a matter vital to millions they add to the misery of. the identical people their silence allegedly protects." Publicity should be "aimed at homosexuals and potential ho mosexuals, which will puncture the illusion that there is 'glam or' in 'being different,' " he said. "Information on how to han dle the problem if it arises in the family should be in the hands of parents, so "a great deal of avoidable suffering on the part of these innocent vic tims could be prevented. secretary of the Ashland board and J.

Johnson, real estate commissioner. Included in the program will be a panel discussion on legal fundamentals for real estate per sonnel. The panel will include Bob Dames and O. H. Bengtson of Medford and Ben Lombard of Ashland. Radio in Brain Seen Prevention of Individual Thought Chicago (U.R) An elctronics engineer has forecast the day when whole nations might be en slaved by tiny radios planted into the brains of infants to pre vent from thinking as individ uals. Curtiss R. Schafer, project engineer for the Norden-Ketay Corp. of Milford. Conn., said research in the science of "bio control" has shown that the con version of human beings into electronically controlled robots is possible. Bioconirol Described 4 Schafer, addressing the nation al electronics conference, defin ed biocontrol as "the control of the physical movements, mental processes, emotional reactions and apparent sensory perceptions of the higher forms of animal life (including man) by means of bio-electric signals which are transmitted and injected into the central nervous system of the subject." Schafer said individuals could be turned into robots by mount ing a socket under the scalps of subjects with electrodes reach ing into vital areas of the brain and later plugging in a miniature radio receiver and antenna. "From then on," he said, "the subject would be unable to think as an individual." HARD POLITICAL SCHEDULE Los Angeles 'W.R) Sen. Estes Kefauver was asked Thursday what he thought of the idea of inviting Russian observers to see how he conducted his Democrat ic vice presidential campaign. "I think it is a good idea," he said. "If they want to have someone with our group we'll be glad to have them if they can keep up with the schedule."

Comment On By HARMAN W NICHOLS United Press Feature Writer Washington (U.R) Production-director Otto Preminger of Hollywood often goes to bed at night hating himself. Mostly because he has to get touh with star-struck young ladies ItZzZiti who hanker to f . V. 41,., till. role of Joan of Arc in a film to be produced Harman Mrnou f r o m Bernard Shaw's "Saint Joan." Seems there are thousands of undiscovered actresses in Amer ica and abroad who have their hearts set on playing Saint Joan. But Otto hasn't found one yet that suits him. . When he visited our town he already had looked at over 1500 lovely chicks. Some Possibilities "Out of this bunch," he said. "I saw 12 who had possibilities. The rest should go back and practice or just go back." At length, after a tour of Eu rope, he will have looked at over 3,000 hopefuls. Only one of them will make the grade, if any. Otto said he may have to go back and pick up an old pro. Auditions were granted to some 30 or more hopefuls from the Washington area the other day and included some that looked fairly fancy to me. Gilbert Gardner, a young ac tor and stepson of the producer, was the straight man. Lights on, he sat in a chair in front of the little platform and gave his best with "We do not condemn thee to eat the bread of sorrow . . . according to the script, the girl was supposed to fight back. Some took the advantage of a target, young Gardner, and read their lines like they 'meant it. Others gurgled a little in fright. A few of the kids were asked to stick around for a moment and say where they studied drama and whether they had the courage to run through a bunch of heartaches until fame rapped on the gate. Otto's as sistants took notes. Others, before they finished Caterpillar Strike Ends in Agreement Peoria, III. u.R) A "wildcat" strike against the Caterpillar Tractor Co. ended early today when an agreement was reached between the company and AFL CIO United Auto Workers. The work stoppage started Tuesday when a foreman threat ened to demote a welder if he didn't speed up his production. The welder and a union shop steward walked out, and soon were followed by some 19,000 production workers. A joint statement contained a provision "that settlement of current disputes between parties be expedited through estab lished channels." This Week-end at Your Favorite Grocery Bottled by 7-Up Bottling Co., Medford Eisenhower pauses to shake - wishers who rose early to his arrival in Cleveland for This and That their first sentence, fled in tears and barefoot, too, since "Saint Joan" was a barefoot girl. One poor kid, cut off in the middle of an inspired moment of great art, got clear to the cab stand without her shoes. Things like that are hard on nylons. "I felt a little bad about it at first," Preminger said, "but this is big business. A man can't let his sentiments run off with him. you know " The way Otto P. looks at it, what Hollywood needs is some schools that will take' in the young kids and finance some training. That's why we are hitting the flatlands," he said. "If we find somebody who can fit the pat tern of 'Saint Joan' we can help her along. Hollywood ought to support some schools. You can't trust an agent anymore. If you won't take their girl for a part, they won't turn her loose for an other, or lesser part, which might be a break for her." The picture business, the pro ducer said, going on, needs some new faces. Sunny Skies Due In Eastern Stales By UNITED PRESS A return to sunny skies over most of the Eastern states today was expected to pave the way j for resuming the World Series in New York following Thursday's interruption by a light rainfall. A band of showers moving up the Atlantic coast and leaving rainfalls of less than one inch was responsible for halting se ries play. Rain was heavier along the Gulf where some cit ies such as Galveston, Tex., were ' soaked by l'i inches of rain. Wet weather also covered large parts of the West from Montana southwest into Central California. Contrasting belts of warm and cool air marched eastward over the nation's grain belt. States bordering the Great Lakes and the Mississippi river reported night time readings more than 20 degrees cooler than 24 hours earlier. Grand Marais, Mich., shivered in a chilly 26-degree tempera ture compared with a 54-degree reading Thursday. Farther west. Phillip, S.D., reported the mer cury stood at 70 degrees, up 24 degrees from the same time ear ly Thursday.
