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

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."

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-

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

The Chat is the Clown
Of the Bird World
Believing that the little
warblers with the yellow
breasts chatted witli one an
other in a low conversational
tone was probably why this
woodland character was call
ed the "chat." It could have
been as descriptively named
"flitter, or twitch-tail."

(Grown-ups make it into Cand H)
Tlie life of Hnwniinnt'hildren is crowded with good ihings. A warm
sun to play under . . . white beaches to scamper along . . . and a candy
store run by Mother Nature that's big as a sugar cane field!
The bill sugar rune you see in the picture above, grows so pure, sweet
and clean, our little Hawaiian children eat it raw. We grown-ups, of
course, make it into sugar ... for you. C and H Sugar. World's finest,
wc believe.
Hawaii! Surely no other place on earth is marc abundantly blessed
with brilliant sunshine, soft rains and rich, fertile soil. This must be
the place where sugar was meant to grow.
Wouldn't it be nice if everyone . , . everywhere . . . could enjoy
C and H Sugar? As you can.
By watching its antics some
observant person called this
bird the "clown of the bird

all sorts of acrobatic tricks
above a low bush and keep
up the act for long intervals
of time.

The geophysici.st said. "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.
