Hospital 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.
Brooks said one problem
in recent years has been that

imoroved methods of treats
ment have permitted the dis
charge of patients who for
merly helped care for other,
bedridden patients.
"The work load has become
heavier on our aide staff," he
said. "We are now faced with
treating the hard core of
more regressed patients who
require much nursing care
and supervision."

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.
NEW DIPLOMATIC HIGH
Washington - OIPI) - Labor
Secretary Willard W. Wirtz
came up with what may be a
new high in politely telling
a congressman he was wrong.
He told Chairman E. C. Gath
ings (D-Ark.), of a House ag
riculture subcommittee that
"There have been frequent
references to this, Mr. Chair
man, but we would have dif
ficulty in accepting as defini
tive the meaning you ascribe
toil."
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. The new wardrobe includ
ed: One black oxford - be-

cause Flores' left foot is
bound in bandages for treat

colored sock, grey flannel
trousers, underclothes, a
green and - wine checkered
shirt, a pea-green windbreak
er, and matching cap.
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.".
