"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 Kemp's views these per
sons are almost exclusively
women of middle age with
husbands, children and other
relatives. 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

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

Aid Bid Rejected
Washington -IUPD- President
Kennedy has rejected a re.

ister Cheddl B. Jagan of
British Guiana for an estl

development aid.
Jagan wrote Kennedy a 4
000-word letter last May re

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
