With more persons living to age 60 or more, the suicide rate will rise unless the medical profession does something about it, a Welsh doctor be' lieves. Oi 881 filicides in Wales between 1931 and 1055. Dr Alan Capstick of Whitchurch Hospital. Cardiff. Wales. found that nearly 40 per cent of the persons who took their own lives were more than 60 years old. This is a dispropor tionately high percentage, since the ovcr-60 age group does not make up 40 per cent of the population. Clue Sought Dr. Cnpstick checked sui cide notes and statements by persons who last saw the vic times alive to see if there was any clue that doctors could use to identify potential suicides. He found that 39 per cent of the suicides appeared de pressed during their last hours. Such depression was reported most commonly in suicides aged 60 or more. Notes left by older victims usually included complaints of physical illness, references to the hereafter and a con cern for relatives. About 35 per cent of all suicides studied appeared nor mal immediately before death but most of them had been depressed previously. These suicides occurred most fre quently below age 30. Dr. Capstick said that the nor mal appearance might be due to the victim's giving up the struggle and finding some peace in the belief that It was almost finished. To Take Revenge Notes left by those who appeared normal or emotion ally disturbed-irritable, an gry, worried, afraid or suspi cious-more often indicated that the suicide was intended to hurt or take revenge on another person, in contrast to the "complaint type" of note loft by the severely de pressed. Dr. Capstick also learned that nearly 80 per cent had been under a doctor's care during the months before death. This factor Indicates that the doctors could prevent some of the suicides If they could recognize the danger signals. However, Dr. Capstick re ported In the British Medical Journal psychiatric treatment cannot prevent all suicides. The person who decides on death and then acts quickly probably can not be stopped. And It Is doubhtful that medi cal Intervention can save a really determined would-be suicide. Ninety-two of the per sons studied committed sui cide despite treatment in a mental hospital. Reluctant Satellite Fell 10 Days Late Washington (Science Serv ice) - The U.S. Air Force's re luctant satellite Discoverer XI, which fouled up a ground recovery attempt by staying In orbit on April 16, has stop ped spinning around the earth. The National Aeronautics and Space administration's control center at Goddard Space Flight center here re ports that the 310-pound cap sule apparently fell from Its shallow orbit on April 26 -ton days later than planned. This left three Vanguards, three Explorers, the Transit navigational satellite and the Tyros satellite in orbit around the earth. Also still In space are two U.S. and two Russian space probes - Pioneers IV and V, and Luniks I and III. The U.S. Air Force, mean while, aald Its latest Informa tion on Discoverer XI comes from a publication of its Bal listic Missiles division dated April 27 stating that both capsule and its final-stage rocket were still In orbit. Doctor Confused on Kissing Question Providence, R.I. - When the number of cases of flu here began to rise, Dr. Joseph Smith, Providence superin tendent of health, took to the airwaves. "Those attending parties should not kiss with one an other," he said. "No kissing for the dur ation of the winter season?" Inquired hia Interviewer. "No, I never said that," re plied Dr. Smith. "A person with a cold should avoid kiss ing " He pased, then added, "io discriminate kissing," MAIL TRIBUNE Mtdford, Or. o 0 O o o O G o O O 0 0 vJ C'0 0- V0 G" 0 0' o o
