Appling Fears Cluttering of Primary Ballot Salem -(UPD- Secretary of State Howell Appling said Tuesday that people circulat ing petitions to put the names of their favorite candidate on the Oregon preferential pri mary ballot have "every right to do so under law. However, he warned "the result of their efforts may very conceivably be to make a travesty of the entije Ore gon primary ballot test inso far as the presidential race is concerned." Required by Law Oregon's new law requires Appling to place on the bal lot nafnes of all "generally advocated and recognized can didates. , It also provides that a can didate's name may be placed on the ballot without his consent by a petition of 1,000 registered Oregon voters of the same major political party. Have Right to Choice Appling was fearful that if too many favorite-son and divisionary candidates were entered by petition, "there would not be a clear-cut showing of voter preference. "The people of Oregon have a right to make a clear choice from among those who are nationally recognized as leading candidates, he said. "Such an expression is pos sible under our new law and it . would have . some real meaning if other states -followed the same procedure," Appling continued. "But cluttering of the bal lot with a lot of otherwise meaningless names can only serve to,cloud the significance of the primary results. One Psychistriat For Every 16,400 New York - (Science Serv ice) - If someone in your fam ily should become mentally ill, you may have a good deal of trouble in finding a special ist to treat him. Although the total number of psychiatrists in the U. S. has gone up 21 per cent in the last three years, there are still very few in proportion to the population, especially in re mote regions away from - the big cities. The man with a sore throat or an earache has a better chance of finding a specialist to treat him, it was announced by the National Association for Mental Health here. The U. S. now has on an average one psychiatrist for every 16, 400 population. But in North Dakota there is only one for every 72,000 population. South Carolina and Alabama also have ratios of over 65,000 population to each psychia trist. The' phychiatrists in the U. S., few in number though they are, do not devote all their time to tf eating patients, the Association reported. Only 15 per cent are engaged solely in private practice. Others must devote part of their time to other occupations including teaching, research, hospital work and clinic work. Jefferson: Kenneth Hulburt, principal; Yvonne Dugan.

Duffy Added to FBI's List of Wanted Washington - (UPD - James Francis Duffy, a tattooed and sometimes toupeed fugitive who was once an inmate of an institution for the crimin ally insane, today was placed on the FBI's 10 most wanted list. The FBI described Duffy as a "hot-tempered armed rob ber," warning the public and seraching law enforcement officers nationwide that he should be- considered armed and extremely dangerous. He has threatened to open fire on any arresting officers, then use the last bullet to com mit suicide. Long Crime Career The 52-year-old Duffy who was born in England has a crime career dating back to the age of 19. He is currently wanted on a federal warrant for unlawful flight to avoid prosecution for a nighttime armed robbery of a Drexel Hill, Pa., inn in 1958. Duffy, 6 feet IV2 inches tall and weighing about 170 pounds, is said ' to consider himself a confidence man who "will not work under any. circumstances when it can be avoided." He has a kewpie doll tat tooed on the back of his right wrist and the initials R and B an his right forearm. Duffy is balding and "may wear a toupee." He has a scar on his left eyebrow and at the root of his nose. In 1942, Duffy was ad judged insane and moved from the Eastern State Peni tentiary at Philadelphia where he was serving 10-20 years for armed robbery to a state mental institution at at Waymart, Pa. Accurate Measuring Of Earth Possible Los Angeles-Science Serv-ice)-With an airborne gravity meter, man will be able to measure the face of the earth accurately "for the first time," according to Fairchild Aerial Surveys, Inc., here, LaCoste Romberg company of Austin, Texas, and Gravity Meter Exploration company of Hous ton, Texas. A recent test in dicated that it now is possible to measure gravity in the air any place in the world to an accuracy adequate for geo-' detic purposes, they reported. With the device, cartogra phers can draw more accu rate maps, scientists can cal culate orbits of missiles to a greater degree of accuracy and geologists will have a new aid in the search for oil, the companies said.
