JSP J On Pravrajilion of Suicida In one year, some 100,000 Americans attempt suicide and some 20.000 succeed in do ing away with thems e Ives. Since many more thou- sands would like to have made their way quickly unh a p p y or distressing or Alvares painful or ap parently useless existence, the problem of suicide affects a considerable percentage of our families. Everyone who has a de pressed and melancholy rela. tive ought to know something about the danger of suicide. The topic has become so im portant that, in a number of places in the world, there now are kindly, devoted people Who sit by a phone every night and all night, ready to talk to people who have come to the point where they ser iously are contemplating sui cide. These rescue groups are saving many lives. I was glad to read recently that, in England, the ancient law that prescribes severe punishment for people who have attempted suicide, has been removed from the stat ute books. Evidently, at last, the legislators have faced the fact that a person who at tempts suicide is not "bad," he is ill; he usually is suffering from a depression, and he greatly deserves our sympathy. I recently read a new dook, The Cry for Help," edited and partly written by Norman L. Farberow and Edwin S. Schneidman, of the Los An geles Pioneering Suicide Pre vention Center. They have been studying thousands of would-be suicides who land up in the huge Los Angeles County General hospital. As the doctors say, many of the 100,000 who las year tried sui cide and failed, will trv it out of a veryfagain, and some of them will 3,241 Precincts Listed in State Salcm-IUPII. There are 3,241 precincts In Oregon for the May 18 primary election, State Elections Director Jack F. Thompson has announced. This is 341 more than for the November, 1960 general election. The increase is re flected by such factors as pop ulation increases, realignment and annexation by cities, Thompson said. Multnomah county has the highest number of precincts, and gained the most-up 213 from November, 1960 for a new total of 1,216 this May. Thompson said the biggest factor in Multnomah was a realignment of precincts for the convenience of voters. The number of precincts is determined by the number of registered voters, figuring a maximum of 800 voters per precinct. Some counties lost a few precincts but others besides Multnomah showing appre ciable gains include: Clackamas 221, up 53; Washington 180, up 30; Jack son 123, up 10; Linn 104, up 14; Marion 163, up 11; Lane 257, up 8; Douglas 103, up 5, and Benton 50, up 5.

(UPI) Petition Deadline Noted For Beard Appearance Siilem - May 21 is the dead line for Oregon property tax payers to file petitions with county boards of cqualita'ion for correction of assessments.

The blonde singer, seeking a divorce, also charged that Ferrer, an Academy Award winning actor, had "violent shows of temper" both In pub lic and at home that con stituted an act of cruelty. Miss Clooney answered questions about the couple's complex financial affairs. She told Municipal Judge Mcrvyn A. Aggelcr that she now is $29,033 in debt. After noting that the singer earned $2 million since 19S3. Aggelcr commented, "a n d she's broke?" The judge recessed the trial until next Tuesday and in structed the couple and their Scientists Discover Moon Emits Rays Washington (UPB Scien tists have discovered that the seemingly inert moon is a giant x-ray machine. Dr. Richard W. Porter, New York, told the International Committee on Space Research that the moon emits x-rays in response to a heavy bombard ment it receives from solar and cosmic radiation. . These so-called secondary x-rays are among the lunar character istics which the United States wants to investi gate with space instruments before it undertakes to land a man on the moon and bring him back. Porter, chief U.S. delegate to COSPAR, presented a sum mary report of American space achievements to the thin! international symposium on space science. COSPAR is an organization of space scientists from 18 nations. Nearly 1,000 are gathered for the first inter national symposium to be held in this country. The 19-mem-ber Soviet delegation in cludes cosmonaut Gherman S. Titov. Porter said that in 1961 the United States launched more than 300 high-alfctude bai. loons carrying scientific equipment to Investigate the upper atmosphere. In the same period, it launched nearly 900 high-altitude weather rockets. In addition, it shot into space more than 75 larger rockets to investigate the environment in which men someday will travel on their way from the earth to destinations among the planets. X-Rays Predicted Accomplishing even more than these rockets were 31 artificial earth satellites and deep-space probes sent out to distances of many thousands of vHes. Porter said that it had been theoretically predicted that the moon would emit x-rays as a result of the unremitting bombardment to which it is subjected by cosmic and solar radiation. He said instruments were flown on a high-altitude rocket "to determine whether or not X-radiation from the moon could indeed be detect ed." The experiment was suc cessful and the suspected ra diation was found to exist. ELECTED MAYOR Woodburn - (UPI) - N. F. Ty ler has been elected mayor here, succeeding Delbert G. Garner. Hope Abandoned For Rickenbacker Malibu, Calif. - WD - Tha Coast Guard, after an inten sive two-day air and sea search, has given up hope the nephew of famed World War I flying ace Eddie Ricken backer would be found alive. The Coast Guard searched more than 1,000 square miles of ocean for missing Edward D. Rickenbacker, 23, believed drowned when his 17-foot sailboat overturned. A com panion, Richard , Rapaport, was found drowned when the capsized craft was dis covered Sunday. succeed, Many Misconceptions As the authors of the book say, there are, many miscon ceptions and mis-statements about suicides. The common est one is that people who talk about suicide won't attempt it. Actually, 75 per cent of the people who committed suicide previously had attempted it, or had threatened to commit it, or had talked about it. The point that many fam ilies with a depressed relative should know is that often, when the invalid seems to be getting well, he is in the great est danger. With his increase in energy, he may gain the will and the strength to go ahead and do away with him self. As I said, most of the per sons who commit suicide are in a depression. A well-adjusted person is not likely to com mit suicide no matter how much sorrow comes to him. The important point is that whenever a depressed man, woman or child talks of com mitting suicide, the family should know that there is dan ger ahead. In many cases, when the person is found dead, there is some difficulty in deciding whether the death was accidental or suicidal. Commonly, the family could remove all doubt if they cared to, but because they much pre fer that the death be reported as accidental, they say noth ing about the person's depres sion, or the fact that he had been under the care of a psy chiatrist, or that he had pre viously attempted suicide, or he had threatened to commit it, or several of his relatives had been suicides. The only way to keep a per son from committing suicide when he wants to do it, is to keep him in a locked ward in a mental hospital. And, even there, he may manage to do away with himself. Sometimes a few clectroshock treatments will bring a person out of his depression, will put an end to his compulsion to commit sui cide. Today, also, there are a number of anti - depressant drugs which may give the pa tient much relief. Jerking of the Legs A few people write, much distressed because their legs jerk-espccia'lly at night. Usu ally, the home doctor has to say he never before saw a case of such Jerking; he can't find anything on it in the medical literature, and so he docs not know what to do. He may find that a strong dose of a barbiturate at night will help. I read a European book on the subject but did not learn anything about treatment. The people who suffer from this very distressing disease seem generally to be a "bunch of nerves." 1 was just reading an article by an expert on convulsive troubles by Dr. Raymond D. Adams, Profes sor of Neuropathology at Har vard, who says that recently such jerking has been classi-1 tied as a rare form of muscle spasm possibly related to epi lepsy. Hente, he advises all such persons to have electro encephalograms made; also that the doctor try the effect of an anticonvulsive such as dilantin. tlicy can determine the mar kct (true cash) value.
