MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE. MEDFORD, ORE. THURSDAY. DECEMBER 1. 1960 Some Physicians Claimed Too Quick To Prescribe Pills I Washlngton-IUPD-A psychia trist suggests that some phy sicians are too quick to pre scribe a pill in cases where a friendly chat with the doctor might do the trick. Dr. Seymour J. Rosenberg said many emotionally dis turbed persons could be .help ed merely by sitting book in the chair and pouring out their troubles to a sympa thetic physician. A Washington, D.C, psy chiatrist said this form ol the-' rapy seems to have gotten lost in the new emphasis on tran quilizing drugs and electric shock. Conversation Helps Rosenberg discussed the subject in a paper presented during the American Medical association's 14th clinical meeting. "AJy plea is that the family LOCKER BEEF Cut and '' -Jici Wrapped , Cuslom Killing Culling & Wrapping HARPER'S Phone SP 3-1715 or 2-6381 physician should not rush in with medicine and ohock treatment without first trying to find out what the trouble is," Rosenberg said. He said a little convcrsa sation frequently goes a long way in curing a minor emo tional disturbance. 'Sometimes the doctor can be suprised and really, it re quires little effort on his part,", the psychiatrist said. "Many patients arc just dying to tell their stories." Some Need Treatment Rosenberg, who elaborated on his paper at a news confer ence, emphasized that where a patient suffered from a deep-seated neurosis or a psy chosis more extensive treat ments were required. But he said there were pa tients receiving pills and elec tric shock for emotional dis turbances who he believed might huvc been helped just 'as muph-by a half-hour chat. New York Dexter Butler, 22, was fined $15 for illegal parking despite his plea, "I had just gotten married and it was the excitement that caused me to leave the car where it shouldn't have been." Philadelphia A pet shop here is advertising meat sccntcd nylon bones. Pearson, Sfraub Continue Squabble Portland -flJPII- Oregon Sen ate President Walter J. Pear son charged Tuesday that State Democratic Chairman Robert Straub "and others of his ilk" did not understand the sales tax proposal Pearson presented in the 1059 legisla ture. Pearson's charge stemmed from Straub's comment that Pearson was at "cross pur poses with the party and had lost his opportunity for lead ership." Earlier in the week Pear son asked Straub to resign the party chairmanship be cause of the endorsement the state Democratic executive gave to State Sen. Alfred Cor bett (D-Portland) for Senate President in the 1961 session. Pearson supports Klamath Falls Democrat Harry Boivin for Senate President. Landscape Architects Plan Eugene Session Eugene - The Oregon So ciety of Landscape Architects and the Pacific Northwest Chapter of the American So ciety of Landscape Architects will hold a joint meeting Sat urday, Dec. 3, in Eugene. Among the items to be dis cussed will be proposed li censing legislation for Oregon landscape architects. The meeting will begin at 10:30 a.m. at Harris hall, Eighth and Oak sts. A no-host luncheon will be held at the University of Oregon Faculty club at 1 p.m. Scientists Played Big Role in Kennc ice) Never have scientists! "Suppose a man of reli-1 adviser" on nuclear aspects of , sues that been so politically prominent and dominant as in the presi dential campaign recently concluded. But their political actions were not motivated entirely by scientific intr ests. Consideration of defense, the problem of arms control, international prestige, the de sire to participate in public affairs as an integrated mem ber of the community, and personal friendship were some of the reasons behind the wholesale exodus of this professional group from their traditional ivy-tower isola tion. And a large number of the country's leading scien tists lent their support to President-elect John F. Ken nedy. Dr. Polykarp Kusch, 1955 Nobel Pribe winner in phys ics and a professor at Colum bia University, told Science Service that his political par ticipation was motivated by partisan considerations. How ever he functioned in the Democratic party "primarily as a scientist." Working on Goals "During the past year," he said, "I have been a member of the Democratic Advisory Committee on Science and Technology, working on na tional goals for scientific re search and achievement to gether with other members of the committee." Dr. Kusch said it was "in conceivable" that a first-rate scientist, Republican in his convictions, would be setting such goals under a Demo cratic party label. gion wanted to make an im pact on the religious life of the nation. Wouldn't he choose to make that impact through the religion of his personal conviction rather than another," the psysicist said by way of illustration, adding that logically the same would hold true for a man ot science. Personal Friend Dr. Jerome B. Wiesncr. a member of President Eisen hower's Science Advisory Committee, is a long-lime per sonal friend of the president elect. A physicist, Dr. Wiesner is an expert on radiation re sef rch at Massachusetts Insti tute of Technology. It is no s"cret that the president-elect has long con sidered Dr. Wiesncr his "top defense and arms control. These are areas in which the physicist also has worked with President Eisenhower, for whom Dr. Wiesner has the "highest regard and deepest respect." However, Dr. Wiesner said in an interview, he is con vinced that the solution of these major problems of de fense and arms control may be achieved more swiftly under Democratic leadership. Dr. Hans Bethe of Cornell, another former member of President Eisenhower's Sci ence Advisory Committee who actively supported the election of Senator Kennedy, takes the position that the questions of arms, defense and nuclear control are "is- 0 sues thai go across party the vice president was umuea lines." to arr as of science in his spe- "I find President Ei:cn-1 ciiil competence, hower closer to Senator Ken-!

Sides Willi Dsmocrais Dr. Bethe side; with the Democrats because "on t'ie whole" he believes that such goals as a workable agree ment for nuclear test ban and the peaceful development of atomic power are shared by more Democrats. He is in fa vor of nuclear testing only to improve detection capability and its strongly oppu.-od to further testing for the im provement of weapons. i Corailis Dr. Arthur Kanlrowitz of:",,UT I1' AVCO Research Corporatim., Everett.

"The vice president was in contact with me all through the IGY. I know lie is aware that I am a registered Democrat." Advice Limited Dr. Kaplan stressed the fact that his scientific advice to and repeats all the calls over and over again. The sound seems lo come from several different direc tions, but never from the ac tual location where the bird is known to be. Therefore the chat is considered to be about the most ventriloquial of all the warbler family, of which the chat is the largest member. The chat . is a rather com mon bird that "pumps" itself along while in flight, much the same action as that of the men on the old-fashioned handcar that used to be seen on the railroad tracks. The bird does exactly the same thing; the instant it starts to fly it starts jerking its tail violently up and down, as if sustained flight was depend ent on the up and down mo tion of the tail. When, while ; at rest on a tree branch, it feels "a song coming on," it again begins the tail-pumping. The chafs ability to imi tate the songs and calls of most all other birds rivals that of the mocking bird; so much so, in fact, many people' know the chat by the common title of the "yellow mocking bird." Prefers Thickets The yellow-breasted chat prefers to live in thickets, be ing particularly partial to the low bushes along a small stream, in a ravine, or on a hillside. Because of its ability to hide, it is considered a secretive bird. Its range is the central section of the U.S. Like all the warblers it mi grates south for the winter; and like all the warblers it feeds entirely on insects. The nest is usually close to the ground; made of bark strips and carefully lined with soft grasses. The eggs, from 3 to 5 in number, are white, with a faint tinge of pink, marked around the large end w i t h a w rea t h of brownish spots.
