Medford SECTION B MEDFORD, A Sneel Notorious Television Badman Turns to Side of Law and Order By DICK WEST Washington-IUPD-The name Jack Elam probably doesn't mean anything to you. For that matter, I I'm not cer tain it means i n y thing to Jack Elam. His face, however, is as t a miliar to te 1 e v i s i o n viewers as the face of their ' television re- ' pairman. You have heard of "unsung heroes?" Well, Elam is an unsung heel. Over a recent seven-year stretch, he appeared in more than 70 movie and television films, each time playing a villain. Usually, he played a STOCKMEN FEED PELLETS Your coarse or unpalatable roughage will make a base for a modern balanced ration that you can feed with little labor and no wastage.

R.'s -DONT OREGON, FRIDAY, DECEMBER 7, 1362 PAGES 1 to 10 western villain, which is the worst kind. He is that despicable cad who keeps coming into town on Saturday night looking for trouble. He is rotten to the core. You can tell that be cause he needs a haircut. He has only one facial ex pression - a sneel, which is a cross between a snarl and a sneer. I don't have the box core in front of me, but I believe the record will show that he pexformed more vile deeds on camera during the last decade than anyone else in show busi ness. Despite this constant ex posure, Elam has remained a rather oDscure figure. Now, however, he is on the verge of something cataclysmic. In a new western series called "The Dakotas," which goes on the air next month, Elam will play the part of a U.S. marshal. Currently, he is traveling around the country trying to prepare the public for the shock of seeing him on the side of law and order. "The public may not ac cept seeing me not get kill ed," Elam said during his stop over here. "Western fans are annoyed by the unexpected, and it's out of character with TnAir.HT BOI 1IHO.V V II I KY CONTINENTAL DISTILLING CORP.

"As a U.S. marshal, It wouldn't look right for you to rob a bank or hold up the stage," I said. "But maybe you can embezzle some fed eral funds or something like that, just to keep your hand in." Elam brightened at the sug gestion and said he would pass it along to the producer. "I would hate to lose all of my criminal identification," he said. "A television series doesn't last forever, you know, and I want to have something to go back to when this one is over." The interview left me con vinced that just putting a badge on Elam isn't going to make him go straight. Along about the fifth episode in his new career, I expect to see him revert to type and have to arrest himself.

Vocational Rehabilitation Counselors To Stress Eugene An Industrial sociologist urged a national gathering of vocational reha bilitation counselors this week in Portland to "get out of the vocational side of your business ' and begin to em phasize the psychological and sociological aspects of the profession. The advise was given by Dr. Robert Dubin, research professor of sociology at the University of Oregon, in his keynote address before the annual national meeting of the directors of vocational re habilitation counselor train ing programs at the Multno- mah hotel. The University of Oregon is host for the meeting which will last through Saturday. It marks the first time that this meeting has been held in Oregon. Earlier Wednesday, Univer sity President Arthur S. Flemming delivered a wel coming address to the dele gates, who include the direc tors of 35 college and univer sity training programs, plus other rehabilitation experts and government officials. Dr. Dubin called on the counselors to abandon their traditional role of training a disabled person to perform a particular task and then at tempting to find him a job. Instead, Dr. Dubin urged, the counselors should devote their energies to finding, or helping to create, "an accept ant attitude and atmosphere in individual companies which will minimize the pos s i b 1 e discrimination that might be suffered by disabled persons employed in them," and then letting industry take over the job of vocational training after the worker is hired. At the same time, he said, the counselors should pre pare the worker "psychologic ally and sociologically for his status as a disabled person who is now diffcrci.t from his normal associates." The sociologist pointed out that it is "most realistic to as sume that disabled people are discriminated against as a class for their disability." This discrimination may take the form of revulsion, if the disability is gross or gro tesque, or a patronizing over solicitncss. Dr. Dubin said. Attitude of Society Once the worker is led to understand and accept this attitude of society, he is bet ter able to overcome the dis crimination and avoid the de velopment of a defensive, over-sensitive attitude toward it, Dr. Dubin pointed out. "What have you done in your vocational rehabilita tion when you train a dis abled person to perform a particular task or develop an industrial skill and then turn him out into a labor market where he is greeted with some sort of discrimination, either hostile or patronizing character?" Dr. Dubin asked the delegates. To be sure, you may have provided a vocation, but hardly rehabilitation, for the pariah is seldom a whole man, he said. Some of the present prac tices used in attempting to place disabled workers in In dustry "are contributing to the continuation of the image of the disabled person, as a deviant," Dr. Dubin charged. Objects to Slogans With such slogans as It pays to hire the Handi capped," accompanied by as sertions that disabled work ers are more loyal, devoted, and stable than normal work ers, "you only succeed In giv ing them a new brand of non- normality," he said. In outlining the drawbacks found in the traditional role of the counselor, Dr. Dubin pointed out that any one counselor can be aware of only a fraction of the many jobs available in a rapidly changing and expanding in dustrial society and has avail able training facilities for only a relatively few types of work. Russians Working On 'Small' Bomb Stockholm -Kt- A Swedish scientist who visited a secret Moscow nuclear research in stitute disclosed today the Russians are working on a "very small" hydrogen bomb that would have little radio active fallout. Bjorn Malmgren, a nuclear explosion expert In his own right who helped develop the "black boxes'' used for delect ing blasts, said the "clean" bombs being developed in the Kurchatov Institute could be used for many peaceful pur poses, but "naturally , . . also have a military value." Malmgren was one of the few Westerners ever to visit the establishment, which was named for Igor Kurchatov, fa ther of the Soviet H-bomb, who died In 11)60. He said another important project there is an attempt to harness the force of the H-bomb in a power plant. y Other Aspects of Profession 'Thus, he said, "by your very emphasis on vocational training you are likely to pick out only a very limited range of jobs in which to pro vide training, thereby pre venting many disabled per sons from working at their highest remaining skills." Business and industry are already carrying out specific vocational training "with great skill and on a mass basis," Dr. Dubin observed. "Why compete with industry In trying to do job training that is probably much more effectively done by industry itself?" Check Attitudes Dr. Dubin advised the coun selors to "go out and look" for the companies which have an attitude of acceptance to ward disability, to offer coun seling services to the com panies concerning any spe cial facilities or supervision needed by the disabled worker, and to follow up the progress of any company which enters the field of em ployment of the handicapped. An acceptant attitude on the part of the employer can "go a long way toward gen erating an acceptant attitude on the part of the entire work force," which was demon strated during World War II when women and Negroes, both previously discriminated against, were brought into in dustrial employment in large numbers, Dr. Dubin pointed out. This attitude can be a vital factor in smoothing the way for a disabled worker, he added. M MM M Lowest-priced FRIGIDMRE 2-speed, 2-cycfe Vlasherl Fresh, running water rinses!

Normal Reaction In helping to create an ac ceptant attitude. Dr. Dubin reminded the counselors that they must face the problem that "the normal reaction to disability is some form of discrimination. To deny this, or to argue against it, or worst of all to sweep it under the rug by moralizing against it. is to fail to do anything about it. "It is far better to let the genuine fears and feelings of discomfort conic out Into the open where they can be dealt with openly. Once vis ible you are able to agree with those fears that are genuine and dispell those that are imaginary," he said. 100 grain neutral spirit 80 prool, international Diatllliries Co., I A.
