Electronic
Historical, literary and some forms of scien
tific research, today, is a tedious, time-consuming,
eye-straining chore.
It is performed, among other places, in li
braries, in the file-rooms of newspapers and
magazines, in old diaries, among official gov
ernment documents.
There will always be the need for some of
this hard, dirty work, but the day is getting
closer when many research tasks can be per
formed simply bypunching buttons.
IMAGINE, if you will, a library where every-
dexed to the ultimate
piece of lniormation is available instantly on
pushing the right combination of buttons.
This won't happen in full the day after to
morrow, but steps are being taken to make it
happen. And in some limited applications it is
happening now.
Someday, electronic libraries will be con
structed which will hold virtually all the infor
mation there is on certain subjects. And the
electronic mechanisms will produce what is
needed in a short period of time, on demand.
fNE application of such a library was sug
crested in a news story the other day, by a
scientist who said it is entirely possible that med
ical researchers have discovered a cure for can
cer, but that it hasn't been realized yet for lack
of coordination and communication between dis
ciplines, or between researchers following dif
ferent lines of research.
If, however an electronic librarv were fed the
findings of all researchers working in medical
fields, and then were instructed to make certain
correlations, it is entirely possible that a number
of bits of isolated information would fit into
place to provide an answer to the search for
a cancer cure, or for a dozen other purposes.
It would also make it possible to avoid dupli
cating one line of research which, unbeknownst
to the worker, had already been performed elsewhere.
THE Oregon Statesman,
rtnorl ai oiiph a rhino"
"An International scientific library must be estab
lished with the most advanced electronic brains as
librarians, In order to assure the work of scientists in
one part of the world will not be duplicated in an
other. This is a Job for the United Nations. It will
be expensive, but It will pay for Itself many times
over if, by coordinating the findings of the work of
Russian and United States cancer researchers, we find
we have already unlocked the secret of cancer cure."
There are, of course,
the same principle.
Maybe, some day, a small electronic library
will be developed which will record, file and
cross-index newspaper files, and produce on de
mand any item ever printed. And do so by date,
or name, or subject matter.
If that day ever arrives, we know of a dozen
people who will welcome it. No more poring
over dusty, yellowing files, or straining the eyes
over uncertain microfilm projections. E. A.

the party's present situation

Thus, "the positive" will
be put on full public view the
moment the Republican Na
tional convention has ended,
assuming Nixon has walked
away with the presidential

the Eisenhower administra

The vice-presidents fairly
relaxed view of the sheer
numbers aspect of Wisconsin
does seem to make a good deal
of sense. True, running unop

ticket, he got only 29 per cent
of the total vote. At first
glance this looks bad from a
traditionally Republican state.
Nixon polled 341,000 votes,
as against 478,000 for the
front - running Democratic

John F. Kennedy of Massa

But Mr. Truman, whose slate
had been outvoted by the Re
publicans by S to 1, still went
on to win the state in Novem
ber. Moreover, it is universally
agreed that many thousands
of Wisconsin Republicans
crossed this time into the
Democratic primary to help
or hurt Kennedy or Humph
rey. Nobody supposes that
anything like all of these
voters will be Democratic in
November. A great many will
return to the G.O.P. side. This,
indeed. Is the stated view of
Humphrey himself, among
many others.
Plainly, a Wisconsinlte who
went with Nixon this time had
to be a desperately faithful
Republican partisan willing
more or less to throw his vote
away for immediate purposes.
He had also to be stoically
able to restrain the human
temptation to skip a totally
dull G.O.P show in order to
get in on the big Democratic
drama across the street.

Sacred Heart Hospital Spokesman Says
Mail Tribune Story
To the Editor: I know that
my feelings are probably no
different than many hundreds
of others in this community
who are considerably dis
turbed over the news and
editorial treatment given to
an incident that occurred last
week which Involved the
Medford Police Department
and the Sacred Heart Hospital
as well as the doctor who at
tended the subject of the mat
ter. Many hundreds of people in
this area have given of their
time and services as well as
financial aid to give this com
munity excellent hospital care
and services at both the
Sacred Heart Hospital and
the Rogue Valley Memorial
Hospital.
Unfortunately, from the in
formation that we have been
able to obtain, the newspaper
reporter made his story with
out checking with the Sacred
Heart Hospital to ascertain
the facts although he was re
quested to do so by the police
officials because an entirely
different story would have
been written, and of course,
the story would not have had
the sensational aspects given
to it.
In the first Instance, Insofar
as the matter of times are con
cerned, the patient arrived at
the emergency room of the
Sacred Heart Hospital at 9:50
p.m. on April 4, 1960, and
during the next ten minutes
efforts were made by the
nurse to ascertain from him
some of his medical back
ground, and she requested the
police officer to call Camp

NIXON AND ROCKEFELLER
Washlngton-The curtain Is
about to rise on another act in
the singular drama of Vice
President Nix
on and Gover
nor Rockefel
ler. Both the
i. t'smiin actors
' ft would probab
ly prefer a
longer inter
val. But their
hands are be
ing forced by
Joseph ALsor the need to al
lot the main roles at the Re
publican convention.
There are at least a dozen
clamorous aspirants of every
hue in the Republican spec
trum, for every convention
job with the slightest public
visibility. For many weeks
past, all the aspirants and all
their backers have been press
ing their claims on the two
men with the power of final
decision, the Vice President
and the chairman of the Re
publican National committee,
Sen. Thruston Morton of Ken
tucky. Something must now
be done to end this hurly
burly. In this situation, it can be
stated on undoubted authori
ty that Vice President Nixon
has decided to let Governor
Rockefeller make his own
choice. Nixon's only rival in
stature among the new gen
eration of Republicans, and
his erstwhile active rival for
the party's presidential nom
ination, can be the 1960 con
vention's temporary chair
man, or permanent chairman,
or keynoter, or chairman of
the platform committee, or
whatever else he likes-if he
likes.
THE avenue of approach to
Rockefeller has even been
decided on. National Commit
tee Chairman Morton will
make the first soundings. If
the soundings are encourag
ing and even, perhaps, if they
are the very opposite Vice
President Nixon will make
his carte blanche offer. Ac
cording to the same authori
ty above-quoted, the approach
es to the New York governor
must be made within two
weeks.
Governor Rockefeller's re
sponse to the Vice President's
offer can be predicted with
almost equal confidence. As
of this moment, at any rate,
he is reliably reported to be
strongly, even rigidly dis
inclined to accept any public
role In the convention that
has been so carefully set up
to nominate Nixon.
Rockefeller feels this reluc
tance, apparently because he
does not want his hands to be
tied by any appearance of
joining the Nixon team. He
wishes to avoid any limits on
his freedom of action, and in
particular, any limits on his
freedom to discuss national
issues and Republican party
policy. For this purpose he
has already accepted two im

White Domiciliary because the
man had previously been
there in the hope that they
would be able to ascertain the
type of drugs and medications
that had previously been ad
ministered to the patient for
both his epilepsy condition as
well as his diabetic condition.
The police officer was ad
vised that the medical records
of the subject had been trans
ferred to Portland, and the in
formation was, therefore, not
available.
The patient, Mr. Strunk,
The patient not only was
suffering from a possible
diabetic reaction in addition
to the epileptic seizures,
but also was Inebriated
from the use of alcoholic
beverages which he admitted
having consumed during that
day, and that he had not taken
any of the medicines that he
was supposed to take,
During the periods in be
tween the epileptic seizures,
the patient was belligerent
and was using obscene and
profane language, and It was
very difficult for the nurses
and those in attendance to get
any facts from him to aid in
his own treatment.
After the nurse in attend
ance was unsuccessful in ob
taining any definite informa
tion concerning the patient,
at 10 p.m. she called the doc
tor who was on call and due
to the fact that the doctor
was treating another patient,
he did not arrive at the hos
pital until 10:20 p.m.
Thereafter, the doctor was
very careful In his examina
tion of the patient and at-
Alsop
portant speaking, engage
ments, one in Chicago and one
In Philadelphia. The Chicago
speech will probably be devot
ed to domestic matters, while
the speech in Philadelphia will
concern foreign and perhaps
defense policy.
The line Rockefeller will
take, according to those who
should know best, will be ex
actly the same line" he took
in the numerous speeches he
made while he was still a can
didate for the Republican
nomination. He will speak
out, in short, for a more dy
namic economy, a stronger
national defense, a more vig
orous and imaginative for
eign policy. In doing so, one
can be pretty sure, he will
also refrain from any sort
of direct criticism of the Ei
senhower administration.
BECAUSE he was not direct
ly critical, Rockefeller
got little attention indeed
when he took this line in his
autumn speeches. Now, how
ever, he is not an active, easi
ly predictable candidate for
office. Instead, he is a large,
brooding, unpredictable pres
ence, somberly but not un
hopefully waiting on events.
Because his course is unpre
dictable, every phrase he ut
ters will be parsed and weigh
ed for indirect criticism.
Rockefeller's mere failure
to endorse the Nixon candi
dacy got national attention for
his recent short speech at
Jamestown, N.Y. It can be
imagined, then, how much at
tention will be paid to the
major Rockefeller speeches
that are still to come. As Rock
efeller will make no open at
tack, there can be no ugly
ruckus". But there will surely
be much commotion, and be
hind the scenes, there will be
strong emotion too.
If this is the outlook, it may
well be asked why the Vice
President should plan to give
Gov. Rockefeller his choice of
public roles at a party conven
tion that will be so complete
ly Nixon-controlled. The ans
wer, obviously, is that Nixon
would still like the record to
show that he has behaved
generously towards Rockefel
ler. Nq improvement of the rec
ord will alter the central fact,
however. The fact is that con
trasting circumstances and
nAMfltntinff mirnnf xpern tn
have doomed Nixon and !
Rockefeller to a state of con
cealed hostility, this hostility
will endure, apparently, at
least until the convention is
over.

Incorrect, Misleading
tempted to solicit further
medical information from him
because due to the combina
tion of ailments of the patient,
It was very important that his
treatment and any drugs ad
ministered be such that he
would not suffer a serious
reaction.
At 10:49 p.m. the drug was
administered -to the patient
and thereafter, the doctor
called the Veterans Domicil
iary at Camp White and ascer
tained that they would not
accept the patient from any
hospital, but- would accept
him if he were at the police
station and indicated at that
time that they would send
an ambulance in for him.
At no time did anyone re
fuse to admit this patient at
the Sacred Heart Hospital,
but during all of the treat
ment he was classified as an
out-patient, and at no time
was his physical condition en
dangered by the fact that the
doctor was attempting to
make arrangements to. have
him accepted at the Camp
White Domiciliary Hospital.
The doctor in attendance
did accompany the patient to
the city police station and
arrangements were made to
transport the patient by po
lice vehicle to the Camp
White Hospital, and In that
connection the patient's con
dition was not such that his
health was in any way en
dangered. The Executive Committee
of the Jackson County Medi
cal Association has studied
all of the records of both the
hospital and the doctor in
attendance and have determ
ined that the patient did re
ceive prompt and adequate
care, and that the disposition
followed was in no way detri
mental to the health of this
patient.
We have also checked with
the Rogue Valley Memorial
Hospital and find that they
would have followed the same
course as was followed in this
case.
To the. knowledge of any
one that we have been able
to contact, there never has
been an instance where the
Sacred Heart Hospital has re
fused admission to any patient
who needed emergency medi
cal hospitalization or in any
case where there were not
other adequate facilities avail
able. I am sure that you know
and realize that both hospitals
receive a great many patients
brought to them by the police
department where the sub
jects are or have been domi
ciled at Camp White, and in a
great many of these cases, the
problem is primarily one of
an excessive consumption of
alcoholic beverages. '
mere Is no one to Dav the
hospital cost for the services
rendered, and the United
States Government through
its Veteran's Administration
refuses to pay for hospitaliza
tion of these individuals, and
it has been a serious problem
to our local hospitals.
Possibly you and the peo
ple of this area are not aware
of the fact that the Sisters
of Providence and Charity
who founded the Sacred Heart
Hospital here in Medford did
so with their own funds, and
that they have continued to
maintain the hospital obtain
ing funds from outside of this
area in order to do so, without
ever having a public drive
for funds from the people
served by this hospital.
You are probably not aware
also that almost $100,000 of
the amount originally requir
ed to build the hospital has
as yet not been repaid, and
no moneys from the operation
of this hospital have ever left
this community but have been
used entirely for the medical
care of people in this area.
It is true that not only the

financial problems due to in
creased costs, but every hos
pital today is faced with the
same sort of problems.
During the past six years,
the Sacred Heart Hospital has
lost an average of approxi
mately $50,000 per year by
reason of charity cases and
bad debts for hospital serv
ices, and the Rogue Valley
Memorial Hospital has had
much the same picture on un
collected bills for services
rendered.
Unless some solution Is
found to this problem, the tax
payers may find it necessary
to construct a county hospital
to take care of the indigents,
and the cost of doing so and
maintaining such a facility
would be several times the
amounts that are lost each
year by the two hospitals,
Sacred Heart Hospital and
Rogue Valley Memorial Hos
pital, by reason of services
rendered to these people.
It is most regretable that
is ever necessary to collect
any bill for services from any
patient, but Inasmuch, as
neither of these hospitals are
governmental agencies, they
must have the funds to con
tinue their operation, and the
only way they can obtain
those funds is either for the
services rendered or from in
dividual contributors.
It is most regrctablet that
the Mail Tribune printed the
stories without ascertaining
the true facts when they could
have done so with very little
difficulty.
It would seem that the
Mail Tribune could perform
a greater service for the com
munity by pointing out to the
people of this area the tre
mendous services being per
formed by its two major hos
pitals and the reason for the
high cost of hospitalization
which the records show is due
primarily to the fact that em
ployees must be in attend
ance on a 24 hour basis, seven
days a week. The primary cost
of hospital operations is for
employees' salaries and wages
which item accounts for al
most 70 per cent of the cost
of operation.
I feel also that a word of
commendation should be given
once in awhile to the many
hundreds of public spirited
citizens who have been furn
ishing services without charge
to these hospitals so that the
costs of hospitalization would
not be higher than they now
are.
