ail day. His owner found him in the cellar of the stable
and he refused to come up the narrow stairway from which
he either fell or walked down. Here Victor Brazinskas of the
Chicago Anti-Cruelty society ponders the problem. The floor

Prickly Issue of
Reapportionment
Coming Noxt Year
By DOUGLAS GRIPP
Salem IUPD The prickly Is
sue of legislative reapportion
ment in Oregon, a byproduct
of the 1060 U.S. census, is
coming up next year.
It has been five years since
seats in the Oregon Legisla
lure were reapportioned, and
the 1961 Legislature is sure
to tackie the question,
If it TToesn't, the alternative
under present law is for the
secretary of state to do it. It
seems likely the lawmakers
will want to do it themselves
Some counties may lose
legislative seats and some may
gain. The next session, faced
with a protQm of length as
it Is, is sure to find figurtfjj
this out a long and toucliy
topic.
PouibU Gainers
fNo county wants to lose
any state senators or repre
sentatives. Several see gains
on the horizon. Possible gain
ers include Multnomah, Lane,
and Clackamas counties. Pos
sible reductions, at least ac
cording to the census, may be
in the offing for Polk and
Yamhill counties.
The new census statistics
reflect roughly a ratio of one
seat in the house for every
29,000 persons; for every 58,'
000 persons, oae Senate seat.
Sam H a IVy, legislative
counsel, says any formula the
Legislature comes up with
does not have to be approved
by the people. So there is no
question of the Legislature
having a free hand in the mat
ter.
Biggar Districts Possible
Reapportionment prior to
1955 whent way back to 1910
Haley says the total make
up of the Legislature 60
member, in the House and
30 in me Senate-is not ex
pected to change. But if the
1961 sessioncalls for a
change, legislative districts
could be made bigger. In this
Ijyise, the number of legisla
tors would be cut down.
An attempt to alter the bor
ders of Oregon's four con
gressional districts could be
a bitter fight. They are out
of whack now as far as the
population balance is concerned.

ly, a j"dge iorl
a higher courrl
Or. aituu In Massachu
setts recently was distressed
to learn that in the usual over
crowded State Mental Hos
pital, the patients got no treat
ment to speak of. There are
too few psychiatrists for hun
dreds of persons.
A few weeks ago I attended
a big psychiatric congress and
listened with pleasure to an
address by Dr. Melitta
Schmideberg of New York,
who is an expert on Ute prob
lenwif treating psychopathic
delinquents and criminals.
Some of the courts in New
York keep sending patients to
her.
In was much interested in
the statements of this woman
who is so obviously honest.
She said that criminals can
rarely be treated in prison.
They aren't interested in such
treatment unless it will serve
to get them out of jail. If it
won't get them out quickly,
then why should they be both
ered talking to a psychiatrist?
Actually, as I Just said, in
most prisons, facilities art not
available for the psychiatric
treatment of many persons.
Temptation Lacking
Also, as Dr. Schmideberg
pointed out, if a psychiatrist
were to treat a psychopath in
a prison, how could he tell if
the fellow was any better? In
jail, the man hasn't either the.
temptation or the opportunity
to get into mischief. It is silly,
then, for a psychiatrist to say
that a sex offender has been
cured by two or three months
of psychotherapy. There is no
girl around that he can attack
and rape and kill. ReceAjy,
I saw in the paper that a ex
criminal had been dismissed
"cured" after three months of
treatment. A few days later -true
to his usual paVhirn of
behavior, he raped aim beat
almost to death another girl.
Dr. Schmideberg taAd of one
good reason why thVsuperin
tendents of many prisons and
mental hospitals quickly let
dangerous men out to prey
again on the ffiyc - the place
is just too crowded. In the
wards the beds are placed side
by side, and there Is no room
for more.
Dr. SchmldeberJKsald that
the patients she gets from the
courts have been acnt her by
a Judge or a parole officer.
These delinquents have no In
terest in coming to her, and
so they keep breaking one ap
pointment after another. They
keep constantly lying, even
when the truth would serve
them belter than their lies do.
They will come to see her
only when the parole officer
gets after them and scares
them enough. They come only
because of fear that they will
again be thrown Into prison.
As Dr. Schmideberg says,
these men are unfit for any
psychoanalysis. AbouLall one
can do for the man ifcflry to
do for him something that hit

junta
DRIJS
parents should have done for
him when he was a boy. Dr.
Schmideberg has found that
the delinquent does not want
a job; he hates work of any
kind, and he particularly dis
likes the only type of job that
can be found for a man like
him. The only reason why he
may try a job for a while is
because, if h does not take it,
he will have to steal or cheat,
and then he may land back in
jail.
Numbtr Astonishing p.
The doctor says it is irkon-
ishing the number of these de
linquents who are practically
illiterate. As boys, they would
n't go to school and learn.
They wouldn't settle down to
anything that would do them
any good. Naturally, an illit
erate man who refuses to work
as a day laborer has only one
job open to him, and that is
stealing.
Some M these delinquents
who havajteen around psychi
atrists a while will tell Dr.
Schmideberg that they are
criminals because their father
rejected them for a brother.
But, as tfik doctor tells them,
this excuse will not justify
them in their stealing; and
society will not forgive them
because of their childhood
trauma." A)
Dr. Schmideberg. says that
practically all of l&esi crim
inals sne sev are not just
neurotic; they arepsychotic.
They -were made Wong, and
born wrong. Many of them
are schizophrenics. They are
so constituted that they just
cannot fit anwhere into our
civilized type of life. Hence,
they must constantly be get
ting into mischief, and having
to steal and rob and swindle.
But, ( she says, being a
criminal Is a tough job. There
is so much strain to it, con
stantly having to avoid the
police.
She says the criminals who
are sent to her (Qnit that they
don't want any treatment;
they don't want to be cured
and they go 1j her only be

says, you go, or else.
