Newspaper Page TextHospital Officials Deny Shortages Canse Deaths Salem -HOT- Officials of the ' State Hospital conceded Wed nesday they have a shortage of nurses, but denied patients are dying because of it. "We are critically short in the area of nursing care," said Dr. D. , K. Brooks, superin tendent. . "I think that staff shortage can and probably does result in an increased number of bed sores, but no one has died because of a shortage of staff," he said. . "Our staff-patient ratio has never been anywhere near op timum for the provision of the best care possible," said Dr. J. H. Treleaven, administra tor of the State Mental Health Division. However, he said, "the statement that people have died of bed sores because of the forced vacancies necessi tated by financial restrictions is completely erroneous." Rep. Beulah Hand (D-Mil-waukie) made the charge ear lier Wednesday in an attack on Gov. Mark Hatfield. She accused the governor of hold ing up standards of "human ity" to the legislature without practicing them in hu own act ministration. Treleaven and Brooks gave their replies in a report re. quested by the Board of Con trol which oversees state insti tutions, and of which the gov ernor is chairman. Treleaven denied Mrs. Hand's charge that the level of service at the hosoital has declined below that authorized by the 1961 leeislature. He called her charges "most unfortunate Vacancies Exist J. N. Peet, secretary of the Board of Control, said it is true that the hospital present ly has 74 staff vacancies, but he said these retlect a down ward trend in the number of patients, "It is true there have been some oroblems in providing adequate patient care for the 60-90 bed care patients, ne said.

Higher Education Staff Praised By Subcommittee Salem 0IPD The men who have been representing high er education at the legislature got some praise Wednesday from the Ways and Means subcommittee on education. "We have found them most cooperative," said Sen. Ward Cook (D-Portland), of chancel or R. E. Lieuallen and his staff. "Ways and Means has no criticism about cooperation from the chancellor." Other members generally agreed. The praise was in contrast to a statement made Tuesday by House Speaker Clarence Barton. Delay Charged In an attack on Gov. Mark Hatfield, Barton said the gov ernor's agencies were delay ing legislative business by failing to cooperate. He said higher education had not produced enrollment figures requested two weeks earlier. A Ways and Means mem ber, Sen. Daniel Thiel (D-As-toria), said the Committee never made a specific request for the figures. He added the subcommittee wasn't ready to use the figures yet, anyway. The committee devoted its meeting to a discussion of which higher education build ings should be financed by general fund money and which by bonding.

Yukon Crash Survivor Worried About Face as Reunion With Wife Draws Near Whitchorse, Yukon - IUPD -A California man, who with a young Brooklyn woman sur vived a plane crash and 48 days in the northern wilder ness, was to be reunited with his wife today for the first time in nine months. His only concern was how she would react to his scarred face. "I look like a man who just walked out of a tomb," said Ralph Flores, 42, San Bruno, after a nurse at the White horse General hospital helped him shave his thick beard Wednesday. "I look like a dead man. My face is so thin. And all these scars." First Viaw of Wounds It was Flores' first chance to see the wounds his face sustained in the Feb. 4 crash of his single-engined Howard plane in British Columbia wasteland just south of the Yukon boundary. He was obviously moved by what he saw. On the left side of his up per lip was a one and one half inch Y-shaped gouge. Another deep scar, about two inches long, ran diagon ally under his lower lip to the bottom of his chin. His cheeks showed big bruises. Also anticipating the ar rival of a relative was Helen Klaben, 21, the passenger aboard Flores' plane when it crashed. Miss Klaben's brother, Ed ward, was to arrive today from Cincinnati, Ohio, via Alaska. May Loia Toes There was no new word on the fate of Miss Klaben's right toes, which are expect ed to be amputated as a result of gangrene having set in. Flores had a busy day Wednesday. First the shave, then local tailor Jim Golight ly was summoned to Flores' hospital room to take meas urements for a complete out fit.

Then there was a visit, by taxi, to the office of dentist C. R. Pugh, who said Flores was unable to chew properly with only three teeth coming together because of a broken jaw suffered in the crash. Next stop was Bob Lemire's barber shop, where photog raphers took pictures of Flores' long, black hair being shorn. Flores' wife, Teresa, was to arrive from California late to day. She has not seen her hus band since last June, when she moved back to California from Fairbanks, Alaska, after he decided to work as a me chanic on the DEW line. Talks About Marriage Today In Vancouver, she was eager to talk about Ralph and their 17-year marriage. "Perhaps I talk too much," she said. "I do most of the talking in our marriage. But Ralph talks a lot too, once he really gets to know people. When he doesn't know people well he doesn't say much be cause he's afraid of saying the wrong thing." - Mrs. Flores said the Mor mon faith, which she and her husband adopted two years ago, "must have helped Ralph a lot up there. "But I wish you'd correct that story about him being a lay minister. He's just a mem ber of the Mormon church. "We had really no religion until two years ago, and we joined the Mormon church. We chose the Mormon church because we met so many nice people who were Mormons and they were so nice we thought that was the way we wanted to bring up our fam ily: The way of the Mormon church." Asked about her husband's personal habits, Mrs. Flores said: "He used to take social drinks before we joined the church, and he used to smoke cigarettes - but not when he was flying." "He wasn't a heavy drinker. he never cashed his pay check in a bar or anything." "In fact, he didn't even like beer when I first met him.".
