    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-

Jayne Mansfield
Rome (UPII Actress Jayne
Mansfield nursed a few
bruises today after a fiery
Spanish ballerina reportedly
knocked her down and pulled
her hair before a celebrated
audience Wednesday night at
Fiuggi, Italy.
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

By BENNETT CERF-
TED WILLIAMS, probably the greatest hitter in big
league baseball in the past twenty years, didn't quite
make the grade the first season he reported to the Boston
Red Sox, and was op
tioned to Minneapolis for
further seasoning. 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. "You have a
good approach. Now let's see your departure."

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.

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."
Bonn -IUPD- Negotiations on
further West German aid to
the United Arab Republic will
begin here shortly, the West
German Economics Ministry
said Wednesday.
