New Policies lor Fairview Home Adopted by Board Salem OIPD - The state Board of Control has adopted two new policies at Oregon Fairview Home, including one that restricts the admission of those under five years to se vere cases. Families will have to care for their retarded children "except in those cases where there are certain medical anomalies which are associ ated with profound and severe mental retardation," it said. Fairview is the state's home for the mentally retarded here. The action was recommend ed by Dr. J. F. Pomeroy, Fair View superintendent, and by Dr. Joseph Treleaven, direct or of the board's mental health division. Treleaven said there is no valid reason for believing that putting infants or young children into the institution has any advantages. Personal Care Urged Instead, he said: "There Is a large body of convincing evidence to indicate that in dividual, consistent, warm personal care of young chil dren is an absolute necessity for normal development of in tellectual potential and ade quate socialization. ' "It is often suggested that the retarded child should be admitted to an institution for the good of the family," Tre leaven said. "Recent investi gations indicate that this is not usually the case. He said giving up the child too can be damaging to the family be cause of the guilt It produces. The second policy sets out additional ground rules in Fairview's ability to dis charge patients. The policy calls for the release of any patient mildly retarded but "not deemed a menace to the community and who does not benefit from institutionaliza- ,4 This Week's By HIAWATHA ESTES This dollKhtful home has boon planned to ploa.se thr pockotbook as well s the eye.

The reported battle occurred as the actress, who just fin ished starring in the movie "Panic Button" here, was re turning to her table at a Fiug gi hotel after being given an Italian film prize. "I had made a little speech and was walking back to my table when this woman knocked me down and started pulling my hair," Miss Mans field said. The Spanish woman was not immediately identified. "This woman kicked me, but my agent, Franco Reggi ani, rushed up and pulled her off of me very quickly before she could do anything more. "I had never seen her be fore and I don't even re member what she looked like," she said. "She claimed she had been trying to win this award 20 year3, and here I walk in and win it. She also said 1 refused to pose for a picture with her last week, and I don't remem ber that at all." Miss Mansfield said after picking herself up off the floor, she went back to the microphone, apologized for the woman, said she "loved" Italy and was very proud to have received the award. "The people there gave me a standing ovation that must have lasted three minutes," she said. "It was very touch ing." H( nr00M . - t- S J , , 'a !

The three regular Red Sox outfielders were relieved to see him go, and made various and sundry in sulting remarks as he packed his gear. Ted Williams' reply was, "I'll be back, you no-good baboons, and I'll soon be earning more money than the three of you put together." It didn't take him long to make his prediction come true, either! Milton Berle once broke in a new routine in Sioux City. Late that night he wired his agent, "I won't say I died out here, hut when I picked up my suitcase to check out, it had eight handles on it." . . . And Berle defines a truly cultured lady as one who always takes out the spoon before she throws a cup at her husband. QUOTABLE QUOTES: Prospective customer to door-to-door salesman.

Half Quarts f MtuKOHD MAIL THIBUNE, MEDFORD, OREGON 50 Years Given by By FREDERICK H. TREESH United Press International New York - IUPD - If you had to sum up in two words the career of William L. Ryan, none could be better chosen than "workaday humani tarian." That description was in a citation presented Ryan by the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Ani mals (ASPCA) for 50 years' service as an ASPCA agent. "With no guide books to follow, this man has made his own rules throughout half a century of facing with imagi nation and ingenuity the seem ingly insoluble predicaments which befall animals," the ci tation said. The citation said Ryan de voted his life to animals not because it was his duty, but because he was their friend. And he has proved it time and again. The single feat of which Ryan is the most proud was the rescue, many years ago, of 51 horses trapped on the sec ond floor of a stable while flames raced through the lower level, destroying many animals. It was contrary to all the rules of fire fighting, but Ryan prevailed on firemen to open a huge skylight on the building and break out win dows on each end. A draft of air' swept through the second floor and all the horses lived through six hours of intense heal and smoke until the fire was contained. Then Ryan led them through a window onto a nearby roof since the ramp had been burned away. Ryan, whose solid frame and erect posture belie his 69 years, joined the ASPCA on July 8, 1912, as a horse ambu lance driver. At that time, Ryan recalled, the ASPCA did a thriving business in "horse calls." He estimated there were 175,000 horses in the borough of Manhattan alone. In addition to the Charles st. stable fire rescue, for which he was awarded a medal, Ryan rescued horses from manholes by greasing both horse and hole and pulled others from sewer basins by removing their shoes and whittling their hoofs to fit the grating. Police called Ryan in a hurry when one delivery horse became wedged under the stairwell of a brownstone house with his two back hooves stuck in garbage cans. He informed the woman of the house he would have to lead the horse out through her dining room. (She agreed when told the alternative was taking away the front stoop of the house.) Ryan tied up the chande lier, moved out the furniture and covered the floor with burlap; then he led the horse into the room, removed the garbage can and the animal trotted out of the home. Another time, a horse cross ing the Queensboro bridge caught a hind leg in the lat ticework and was hanging face down over the East river. Ryan improvised a sling to rescue the animal. An escaped lion was one of Ryan's greatest challenges. The lion, one of several being cared for by the ASPCA when their woman trainer went bankrupt, was freed ac cidentally by a kennelman who was feeding it. The ken- i Service Agent nelman yelled for Ryan and tried to flee the room. Ryan dashed in, drew his 45-caliber revolver and pointed it at the kennelman, not the lion. "You're going to stay here and help me get that lion back in the cage," Ryan roared at the frightened man. Ryan ordered the kennel man to mount the lion cage and open the door. Then, pitchfork and gun in hand, Ryan faced the lion. After a few indecisive parries, Ryan roared, "Get in there!", and jabbed the lion with the fork. The animal sprang into the cage. Much of Ryan's work involved dogs and cats in a variety of predicaments for which he devised a number of "tools" that became widely accepted in humane society circles. He invented a "taking the cat from pole or tree" device patterned after the sticks grocers use to pick cans or cereal boxes from high shelves. He thought up anoth er instrument for retrieving cats from inside chimneys. Other Ryan originals include a pole lassoe for dogs and a sling for rescuing horses from rivers, cellars and excava tions. After all the years in serv ice to animals, would Ryan do it over again? He answered "yes," without much oral elaboration. None was needed. He sat in a overstuffed chair scratching one- black and white mutt behind the ear and playfully clamping the snout of a smaller brown dog.

Aluminum, Bauxite Stays Duty-Free Washington -IUPD- The Sen ate Wednesday passed and sent to the White House legis lation continuing for another two years the suspension of duty on aluminum and baux ite, the ore which produces aluminum. Sen. John J. Williams (R Del.) opposed the bill. He con tended that with heavy alum inum stocks in the govern ment stockpile it is unneeded.

FIESTA PRICE 1243 South Riverside Phone 773-4553 Atomic Workers Reject Agreement Denver - IUPD - Union work ers at the secret Rocky Flats atomic plant near here voted Wednesday night to reject a contract settlement hammered out in Washington with the aid of the Department of La bor. The negotiating committee for the 18 affiliated union lo cals scheduled a meeting to day to decide further action. The unions, through the Den ver Metal Trades Council, AFL-CIO, have agreed to hold off a threatened strike until next Wednesday. President Kennedy i n t e r vened in the dispute earlier when the workers said they would strike, and asked ne gotiators to meet in Washing ton. The employees voted 909 359 Wednesday night to reject the proposed new contract with Dow Chemical Co., which runs the Rocky Flats plant for the Atomic Energy Commission. The secret fa cility handles radioactive ma terials for use in atomic weap ons. One of the main complaints of the workers has been a re quirement that they work sev en days in a row. They say this involves too much radia tion exposure. Dow has in sisted it is within government safety standards. Labor Secretary Arthur J. Goldberg sent a telegram to the trades council Wednesday saying uninterrupted opera tion of the plant was "in tha national interest." He said terms of the settle ment recommended by a fed eral panel were "the best . . . under the circumstances."
