"They'll Do It Every Time - By Jimmy Hatlo By DELOS SMITH UPI Science Editor New York - IUPD - Dr. Rob ert Kemp proposes that the person who is forever feeling ill but isn't actually ill should be medically labeled "thick-file case." The' present label is "neur otic personality." Another mistaken and sometimes ap plied label is "hypochondri ac." These persons number in legions, as any doctor in any country will testify. Kemp proposes further that physicians shouldn't waste scientific medicine on them. Rather they should be treat ed with non-scientific "com mon sense" of a kind a lay man might apply. Most Are Women He called upon physicians to be factual and the first fact about these persons is they accumulate thick files after years of regular visits to a doctor with symptoms which have no real organic basis.

In "thick file" men - and numerically they're fewer - there usually is only one symptom, such as a pain in the stomach. But the "thick file" woman has symptoms of all kinds. On one visit to the doctor's office, they center around headaches. On the next visit insomnia will be at the core. Then again the physician can jump, mistakenly, to the con clusion of rheumatic disease or too much blood pressure. Kemp advocated a thorough investigation of all com plaints, to find out If perhaps there is an organic basis. When no such basis is found, "reassurance of the patient can then be firm" but the helpful doctor shouldn't stop with merely saying, there is nothing wrong. He has to "formulate some theory as to why they have abandoned the normality of health," he continued in ad dressing the profession in the technical journal, "The Lan cet." His own "theory" was this: "These patients appear to have found, as we all must do, that life doesn't measure up to what we thought it would be. That marriage, a home, a family and security do not always add up to constant and complete happiness. Neadtd Sympathy Lacking "These may not give the amount of sympathy demand ed by the patient, and this can only be obtained through ill health. On this theme, of course, there are as many var iations as patients. Jealous husbands, unfaithful h u s bands, cruel and drunken hus bands and indifferent hus bands typify the dissatisfac tion - with marriage story. Sex, relatives, and work are more general themes." From this "theory" the doctor can then "point out SECTION B Medford, PAGES 1 to 8 Tribune MEDFORD. OREGON, WEDNESDAY, JULY 10, 1963 Rep. Carl Vinson Nearing Longest Tenure in House Washington . (UPD - Rep. Carl Vinson, a 79-year-old spectacle - wearing Georgia country boy sees no cause for reminiscing just because he well soon set a record for serving more years than any other representative. "You've got to stay busy and stay abreast of the times," the dean of the House said as he neared completion of 48 years, 8 months and 13 days of continuous service in Con gress. "Times move ahead. There's no thin' to be gained slttin back reminiscing." On July 16, Uncle Carl Vin son, leader of the so-called moderate bloc from the South and powerful chairman of the House Armed Services Com mittee will, break the record set by that other House giant. tne late speaker Sam Ray burn. .

As chairman of the House Armed Services Committee he closely supervises the work of the subcommittee chairmen, often assigning them a problem which he al ready has solved. "Now heah's what let's do, and I'm gonna hep you," is a frequent saying of Vinson's. He has headed the group for more than 12 years and was chairman of its predeces sor, the Naval Affairs Com- mittee, for 16 years before that. If there has been another person who served that long as a committee chairman, no one can recall. Says Kennedy Great During his tenure, Vinson has worked with and known well eight Presidents starting with Woodrow Wilson. He has called President Kennedy one of the greatest Presidents de spite their disagreement over civil rights. . .He believes Kennedy Is wrong, and will join fellow Southern representatives in voting against the administra tion's civil rlBhtu hill n on other critical issues, he nas ncipcd garner Southern cept that description of him self. His hearing, vision and energy are excellent. His mind, as many admirals and generals who have appeared before his committee will at test, is as sharp as ever. His last drink of whiskey was taken 30 years ago. But, Vinson still manages to smoke seven or eight 10 cent cigars every day. As one possible concession to his age, he claims to have stopped chew ing tobacco. Vinson still retains his Southern drawl and a habit Club News Sis-O Club The Sis-Q 4-H club will hold its annual prcfair Thurs day, July II, at the Bellview Grange in Ashland, starting at 10 a.m. The fair will include show manship and judging for sheep, beef, rabbit, dairy and pigs. Included will be displays by the home economics divi sion. Judge for the agricultural division will be John Keyso, Lakeview. Lunch will be served. Mimi Barron, Reporter again In the future, Vinson, with his countrl tied looks, large nose and glasses which he peers over in the manner of the country Judge he once was, has be come one of the few real char acters in Congress and it is hard for many to Imagine him gone. When asked about rumors that he. will not run for a 26th term, he looked over the rims of his spectacles and said: 'I never take off my socks until I get to the creek." Field Personnel Completes Survey Of Blowdown Logs Rogue River National for est field personnel have com pleted a survey of the Oct. 12 storm blowdown timber in the inaccessible portion of the Prospect and Union Creek dis tricts, Supervisor C. E. Brown has announced. On the 17,600 acres survey ed, 6,415,000 board feet of blowdown was found. All but 10 per cent of this timber is located close enough to the roads and In large enough concentrations to be economi- ally operable, Brown said. It will be offered for sale this summer. About 103 million board feet of blowdown has been sold this spring, and is now being removed at the rate of million feet per day. The blowdown survey of In accessible areas began this spring as soon as melting snows permitted access to the back country. Two forestry technicians surveyed the one quarter mile - apart strips searching for wind-damaged timber. The purpose of the survey was to locate patches of blowdown not visible from the air and to evaluate the threat to the forest from beetle epidemics and in creased fire hazard. Fortunately it now appears that by far the greater vol ume of wind-thrown trees oc curred close to the roads and is now being removed. There is still the threat of localized beetle infections which will be detected by aerial survey before beetles threaten too seriously, Brown noted. Piling of logging debris In the areas now being logged will reduce the hazard some. what this summer, and fall burning of strategically lo. cated strips of piled debris should prevent rapid spread of any fire which might get started in the debris. the results of her illness to herself, her work and her family. Here we should bear in mind that ill health can be a gainful (even if disastrous) policy in itself. It may be used lo attract sympathy, to give self-importance, to act' as an excuse for not doing something, to use as a shield ; from the unpleasant parts of ' life." This treatment will take 1 much time because it will be ! resisted, he said, but It is worth the doctor's time be cause it is "an attempt to pre vent the chronic waste of en ergy and happiness that is otherwise inevitable."

Rcglna Krambcal, Secretary British Guiana's Aid Bid Rejected Washington -IUPD- President Kennedy has rejected a re. quest from leftist Prime Min ister Cheddl B. Jagan of British Guiana for an estl mated $3 million in economic development aid. Jagan wrote Kennedy a 4 000-word letter last May re questing the aid. Official sources said Tuesday that Kennedy rejected the request in a letter July 3. They said the reason was Jagan's left- leaning tendencies, plus his country's recent political and racial turmoil which might make large aid programs fu tile.
