Jack Elam.
His face,
however, is as

viewers as the
face of their

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

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

I could see he was feel
ing insecure about his fu
ture as a good guy, so I
endeavored to put him at
ease.
"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.

phere you are able to main

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.
