Louis F. - No matter how
hard it is, I want to keep
Joey in school.-
Mrs. W B. He should go
to work, not she. She has a
new baby.
'
.' Louise F. - Such l wonder-
ful son as Joey deserves what
ever chance I can give him
for a good education. Even
though my own life is a mess,
I'll work my fingers to the
bone to give Joey, and now
the newborn one, a real start.
He's 16 and his father is
dead. My present husband de
serted me when I became
pregnant a year ago. He's out
West, Hying with another
woman. .He says her husband
is a gangster and won't let
my husband leave her) Figure
that out. Anyway, all during
my pregnancy I held a job
cleaning out rooms in a settlement-house.
But in the
ninth month, Joey took my
place by getting up at 4 a.m.
and working until it was time
for school.
His teachers think a lot of
him too. They've recommend
ed him for the "Higher Hori
zons" program next term.
',
Mrs. W. B. - I'm Louise's
aunt. I know the whole sorry
story but I live in Brooklyn,
too far away to help her. It's
true Joey is a fine boy, but
he certainly Isn't college ma
terial and, in her desperate
circumstances, Louise should
not be putting ideas in his
head and making him prom
ises, she can't possibly keep.
I used to take, care of Joey
for her while she held a full-
the cleanest,
home heating.
MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE,
time job - before her mar
riage to this scamp. . Joey s
teacher told me he had a low
I.Q. But Louise won't believe
it. She thinks he's a genius.
Soon he'll be old enough
to make some real money, so
Louise won't have to work
so hard. Now she leaves her
Infant daughter with the jani
tor's wife, to hold on to that
cleaning position. She makes
Joey stick to his books,
though, Instead of a good
part-time job.
The ' Counellt Leaving to
the welfare authorities their
unpleasant task of untangling
Louise's marital and depend
ency problems, we hail her
for her faith in Joey and her
high hopes for his progress.
While her aunt s advice Is
practical and expedient, it is
defeatist and crushing for this
optimistic mother. We trust
that the social agency will
help her find other ways of
navigating, than by torpedo
ing Joey s education.
The "Higher Horizons"
project, to which Joey has
been referred, Is an exciting
program -of the N.Y.C. Board
of Education, for bringing out
the most in children who have
the least, that is, teen-agers
deemed underprlvl leged.
Through individual tutoring,
psychological counseling, and
"enrichment trips" to con
certs, museums, factories, and
theaters, all sorts of "mira
cles" have come about. I.Q.'s
have leaped upward, potential
delinquents have swung to the
straight and narrow, poor stu
dents have turned into book
worms. Joey, too, will have
a chance to "beat the rap" of
circumstances.
Louise prefers to cling to
a belief that things will Im
Drove without the necessity
for Joey to leave school. Per
haps her husband can be
brought to book - "extradit
ed" for the Other Woman and
Husband! Also, Joey's pro
gram can be arranged to in
clude time for a week end
job, .without impinging on his
class attendance or nomeworic
hours. -
We can understand why
Joey was recommended for
the special program. He had
the one asset conswerea para
mount for its success: a de
voted parent. This fine par
ent - child relationship can
make up for several of the
handicaps in his life. The
community and Louise's fam
ily must help overcome the
others. .
Instead of throwing cold
water on Louise's dream of
a better life for Joey, this
aunt should cross the river
from. Brooklyn once in' a
while and help bathe the new
baby.

The Medical
by
New Way of Handling
Psychopathic Criminals -
In a recent column, I men
tioned a wonderful "Medical
Facility" they have built in
C a 1 ifornia to
try to find
out how many
criminals are
p s y chotic or
epileptic; how
many are in
Curable, and
how many can
be rehabilitat
ed with the
help of good
m
Alvarei
psychiatrists, good social work
ers, and good trade scnoois.
In this remarkable institu
tion in.Vaeavllle, all the fac
tors in regard to a prisoner
are studied. The man's court
record is read; and probation
officers and the man's family
and even acquaintances are
interviewed so as to get their
Impressions and suggestions
in regard to him. A psychia
trist interviews the man. He
is studied to see If, possibly
he has some manual skill or
ability that he could .develop.
Perhaps he could be prepared
to go back into the world, not
as a professional and confirm
ed- and life-long thief, but as
a skilled worker.
During the interviews, the
prisoner can talk out many of
his pent-up anxieties, his ten
sions and his hostilities against
society. Each man is given
gymnasium training which
helps him to use up excessive
energy. A man can have reli
gious counseling if he desires
It. If he needs medical care or
a surgical operation, he can
have it. Occasionally a man
will be angry with society un
til a bad squint or an ugly
nose is straightened. His teeth
will be taken care of. Today,
more and more, penologists
are facing a fact that should
have been obvious long ago
that many habitual criminals
are a bit psychotic. Many
come from psychotic families.
If a man is psychotic, it may
be hopeless ever to expect
him to fit into an honorable
position in the community. He
just cannot. Probably, in most
cases, the psychosis is so in
born that no experienced psy
chiatrist would expect anyone
to cure him.
Commonest Disease
The overwhelming majority
of the 1,400 inmates at vaca-
vllle are mentally disturbed
and about 300 are decidedly
psychotic. Schizophrenia,' of
course, is the commonest dis
ease, and in many of these
cases it is severe. Other per
sons are depressed and appre
hensive and apathetic. In the
order of greatest frequency,
these men have committed of
fenses involving stealing, sex,
forgery, homicide, and the use
of narcotics.
I am sure that all of the
men who commit crimes of
great violence ' should have
electroencephalograms made,
because in these cases many
of the records show an epilep
tic pattern, f . .
Then an anti-convulsive drug
may greatly quiet the man's
violent and . angry nature,
Some of the psychotic offend
ers, with the help of treat
ment, become better able to
handle their problems. The
men with the worst psychoses
may have to be committed to
a state hospital for the crim
inally insane. Some of the of
fenders, when studied, are
found to be mentally deficient,
and this is why they got into
Court Rules on
Prisoner Appeals
San rrancUco-flJPD-The fed
eral constitution does not re
quire state authorities to give
prisoners time to prepare ap
peals from their sentences,
according to the U.S. Court ot
Appeals.
It ruled Tuesday that a state
prisoner has "no due process
right to spend his prison time
or utilize prison facilities in
an effort to discover a ground
for overturning his presump
tively valid judgment."
The court reversed a deci
sion by V.8. District Judge
Qus J. Solomon of Portland,
Ore. Solomon issued an in
junction March 16, 1980, to
restrain Oregon Oov. Mark
Hatfield and other state offi
cials from restricting activi
ties of seven Oregon peniten
tiary prisoners acting as their
own lawyers. The three judge
panel also said states have no
obligation under the federal
constitution to provide legal
library facilities and opportu
nities for their use.

trouble with the law; they
didn't know any better; they
were naughty children in
grown-up bodies.
The most important point
which judges and juries now
so greatly need to recognize
is that among these offenders
careful study by experts shows
that the overwhelming ma
jority have long-standing be
havior patterns of the obses
sive-compulsive type (like in
the Insane), characterized by
sexual offenses, drug addic
tion, and other deviations con
trary to social standards. Some
men are compelled by uncon
trollable urges to do wrong
things, such as setting fires.
Obviously, such persons
should not be given "30 days,"
they should be cared for for
life or until they show signs
of having calmed down and
achieved sanity.
Tranqullliers Help
Many of the patients at
Vacaville have been helped
with tranquilizers. Many are
enrolling in classes is which
they will be given the educa
tion which they failed to get
in their youth. Some are be
ing trained in vocational shops
of several kinds. There they
will be prepared to work at
a trade, some of the men take
correspondence courses. Many
develop habits of work and
of using their time which they
never had before. Many had
drifted into a life of crime be
cause they had no idea of using
their . leisure time . construc
tively. Sports are encouraged
because they do much for the
men. There is a library in the
building, and a librarian who
will help the men to select
good or useful books.
It is greatly to be hoped
that hard-headed'buslness men
and other citizens soon will
come to see that the programs
which California is develop
ing in Vacaville and Chino
are bound to pay big divi
dends in the rehabilitation of
