8 C Hegro Leader Released From Jail in Georgia Albany, Ga. -WPli- Southern Integration leader Martin Lu ther King Jr. was released from Jail today after serving only two days of a 45-day sen tence. The fine that had been levied against King on convic tion of an integration incident last year - and which he had refused to pay - was put up mysteriously by an unidenti fied bpnefactor. In Washington, the Justice Depart ment was reported deeply involved in King's re lease. A spokesman said Atty. Gen. Robert Kennedy had been keeping President Ken nedy informed in the matter and that Asst. Atty. Gen. Burke Marshall had made sev eral telephone calls to Georgia in King's behalf at the direc tion of the attorney general. Other Fines Paid Albany Mayor Asa Kclley announced that King and Ralph Abernathy, also an At Janta minister and integra tion leader, had been released because the fines had been paid. He claimed "no com--municable knowledge" of who Taid the fines. The move came on the heels nf a night of racial tension in this South Georgia industrial city. Rocks and bottles were thrown at police cars patrol ling Negro neighborhoods here Wednesday night and Po lice Chief Laurie Pritchett warned a mass meeting of Ne groes that such incidents could touch off violence.

(UPI) Midsummer Holiday Observed in True Manner of Sweden By RALPH VILLERS United Press International Rattvik, Sweden -IUPII- The proud, independent, but friendly people of Sweden's folklore lann have again dressed their Maypoles with flowers and leaves and danced the short night away as fiddlers played. This Is the fun of the big Church Develops Documentary Films By CLAIRE COX United Press International New York -IUPI1- The Unit ed Church of Christ is using documentary movies to try to stir congregations out of lit urgical lethargy and Into de cisive action on socio-economic problems. The Rev. Dr. Everett C. Parker, director of communi cations of the denomination, has produced a series of films on urban cultural movements and farm problems. His most recent m o v he , entitled "To morrow?", deals with automa tion and appeals to the churches to Join In solving the problems presented by it. Parker's aim is to get more congregational groups Inter ested In the vital issues of the times. "Too many churches want religious films that entertain rather than disturb." Parker said In an interview. "Our new automation film is be ing used widely by labor un ions, industrial groups, schools and colleges but we have not sold a print to a single church. "Churches should be con cerned in films with the same things that the minister is concerned with in the pulpit, not s u g a r-coated situations solved by the Gospel but a hard look al the serious prob lems that man is facing. Problem Films "Most church films are not made In the terms of the tacts of everyday living. They do not think in terms of films dealing with the Issues but of the missions in India, for ex ample, or the fine work that is being done al a hospital. 1 am in favor of missionary films, but we also need the big issues put before us. We need problem films. "Our film on automation was made basically for men. We want It to go before men's groups or before working women. But since most work ing women are bringing home the second Income in the fam ily, this problem of unem ployment because of automa tion is one we want to get be fore men first." The film presents discus sions by workers, sociologists, representatives of manage ment and union leaders. There are scenes showing how extensive automation is now and descriptions of how men will be replaced on an even larger scale by the ma chines of the future. No solutions are given. The film poses problems for dis cussion by the groups who see It. It ends with appeals for stewardship by the community-industry, labor and the churches in rechanneling the manpower displaced by machinepowcr. The suggestion Is made that the churches should bring to gcther representatives of management and labor and community groups to try to formulate constructive plans.

(UPI) i folks, not just the children, of Dalarna province, who take Midsummer and their village Maypoles quite to heart. Midsummer is a long three day week end closest to the shortest night in this sprawl ing province of forest, lakes and wide rivers. Villagers in all of Dalarna's little hamlets turn out in their folklore dress (for themselves, not just as show for the tour ists), deck the Maypole with birch leaves and flowers and fiddle and dance a welcome to summer. But the folklore and beauty of Dalarna are not just a one day or a one week end things. A visitor both before and after Midsummer still can sample the color of a people who re fuse to abandon entirely old ways and traditions. Native Dress For festivals, religious oc casions and other events, the women of Dalarna don their long, bright skirts and white blouses, and the men their knee britches and long stock ings. And if nothing special is in the offing, the fiddlers (of whom the people are quite proud) and natives in costume can be seen at least weekly at the open air museum here at Rattvik on the shore of Lake Siljan. Neither do the Maypoles disappear after Midsummer. They stand about the country side until ready for decking the next year. In Dalarna, the people boast that they refer even to the king by the familiar second person singular, "du." Not strange, then, that they hold to their own ways. Tlicy still build their tim bered, log cabin-like homes, with each log carefully notch ed to fit. And most of the homes are the characteristic deep red in color - painted with an economical paint made with substances obtain ed from their ancient copper mine at Falun. Hand Work Dalarna handicrafts are lust that - made by laborous hand work. Most everyone has seen one nf the brick - red, hand-painted Dala-horses, still carved by hand in the homes of the province. At Nittsjo, in an old pottery, bowls, vases and other artistic creations still are turned on ixitters' wheels. At Leksand. cloth is decorated In a spectrum of colors by a laborous hand and silk screen method. Dalarna long has been loved by Swedish artists. The noted Anders Zorn, whose presidential portraits hang in the White House in Washing ton, nuuie his home In a tim bered mansion at Mora on the north shore of 'J5-niile-long. forest-rimmed Lake Siljan. The pine and birch forested beauty of I.alarna made it a favorite with Swedes long be fore overseas visitors discov ered its restful atmosphere. About 175 miles northwest of Stockholm, it lacks big cities and the bustle that goes with them. There are swimming, hik ing in the forests, boating and cruising on the broad lake and ol her sports that provide the active side of relaxation and all about are scores of villages to explore. Dalarna still is the mecca of artists, who find the at hid ihete just right for crea tive activity. Famed Swedish director Ingmar R e r g m a n wrote several of his films at the Siljansborg hotel just out side Rattvik, and filmed two of them In the immediate area i Ford Foundation Team To Study Old-Age Health Care (Editor's note - Lawmak ers and doctors and the Kennedy administration are involved in a controversy over means of financing medical care for the aged. But what about the best means of caring for senior citizens? A pioneer study has just begun in Roches ter, N.Y., to determine the human and financial fac tors. The investigation, fi nanced by the Ford Founda tion, is expected to provide the first scientific blue print for care of over - 65 persons. In the following dispatch, the director of Operation Rochester dis cusses hit work.) By DR. JOHN HILL Director, Ford Foundation Project on Health Care of the Aged Written for United Press International How can we provide effec tive and economical health care for our mounting "over 65" population? To help find some answers to this critical problem, the Ford Foundation is supporting a new $325,000 experimental project of the University of Rochester and two Rochester area agencies, the Council of Social Agencies and the Pa tient Care Planning Council. The four -year study just launched is believed to be the nation's first intensive community-wide effort of its kind. It will be supervised by a group of volunteer and professional health and wel fare leaders headed by Mar ion B. Folsom, secretary for health, education and welfare during the Eisenhower ad ministration. Working with them will be professional teams of doctors, nurses, so cial workers, and specialists. The results may have far reaching effects in shaping the future pattern of medical care for our country's aged. I And, although the study will focus on the elderly, it may shed new light on health serv ices and costs in all age groups. The urgent need to pioneer new paths in health care of the aged results from three nationwide trends; -Sharply rising population figures in the over -65 age group, with an accompanying rise in needs for health serv ices for this group. -Tremendously increased numbers and kinds of health services and facilities. -Mounting costs of medical care - with their impact on the Individual's pocketbook and on local, state, and fed eral health and welfare budgets. But the picture is far from dark. In fact, the number and variety of ways to care for the elderly ill today offer greatly expanded opportuni ties to care he needs - with greater economy of professional and financial resources than ever before. Until recently, for example, the elderly patient had only two alternatives. He could go to a hospital or he could stay at home under his family's care (if he had a family.) But in the last few decades, a whole new range of choices has opened up. The types of Three Mercy Flights Made on Tuesday Three flights were made by Mercy Flights, Inc., Tuesday. William Donald Cross, Newark, Calif., was flown from Montague, Calif., to Oakland, Calif., following a fall in which he fractured a leg and hip. He was trans ferred to a hospital in Hay ward, Calif,, for treatment. Mrs. Charles Melder, Duns muir, was flown from Mt. Shasta, Calif., to Medford for treatment following facial and head injuries suffered in a one-car accident on High way 99 south near the Shasta Royal Inn. She was taken to Rogue Valley hospital. A flight was made from Redding, Calif., to Medford to bring Arnold Thompson, 203 Vancouver ave., home to re cuperate from a swimming ac cident. The accident occurred July 3 when another swimmer dived in on top of Thompson, breaking his back, according to reports.

HE WARNED THEM Pittsburgh - IUP1I - An enter prising motorist who was in volved in an accident wasn't satisfied with an ordinary sign warning other drivers "If you can read this, you're too damn close." On the back of his caved-in trunk he had writ ten. "Didn't I tell you. vou give each patient the type of I were too damn close?" institutional care alone cover a broad spectrum. A growing number of communities have general hospitals, hospi t a 1 s for chronic or long-term pa tients, nursing homes, homes for the aged, and boarding homes. The types of non-institutional service run an equally broad gamut. The patient may j have "organized health care," provided in him home by pro-: fessional specialists working j through a central agency. Or j he may receive public health nursing care at home. Or he may stay in a foster home. Or in an apartment connected ; with an institution (such as a home for the aged), where he can be independent but can readily get service if needed. Some patients, of course, can be effectively cared for in only one type of facility. For example, certain illnesses or disabilities can be properly handled only in a hospital. But it's possible that some pa tients can be served equally well by one or more methods of care. If a patient can live at home by using community services, he should not be placed in an institution. Our study proposes to evaluate each type of health care in terms of its effective ness for different kinds of pa tients and in terms of its cost, compared to other equally suitable types of care. Our basic plan of attack, briefly, is this: First, we will take a ran dom sample of elderly people in our community. A profes sional team composed of a physician, a public health nurse, and a medical social worker will gather informa tion on each person requiring a variety of medical services. With the patient's permission, the team will assign him - on a random basis - to one of the types of care which they con sider suitable for him. A rec ord will be kept of the costs involved in each case. After about two months an other professional team will again evaluate each patient's situation; they also will Inter view him and his family to learn their reaction to the care which he received. From this experience we expect to be able to draw up some standards for determin ing the most suitable type of care for various types of pa tients. We should also learn something about the obstacles to patients' acceptance of the kind of care recommended. And we should get some indi cation of the proportion of elderly patients requiring each type of health care. In addition, we expect to have amassed the data needed to estimate the total cost of each method of care for var ious types of patients over a given period. Eventually, we should be able to work out a method of estimating the rela tive costs of care for any pa-1 method. of the study available to tient when alternative types If our plan works, we will teres ted communities nf earn nrp pnimllv cnituMo n,4 it inln aftani in iM.,. nyirn aopnrioc throughout the and to choose the less costly ' area and will make the results try.
