MEDFOKD MAIL TKIBINK, NEIVORD. OflECO.V THURSDAY. OCTOBER 3. 19B3 Prince Drinks His First Brands But 0 M oes r 7 f n t Pate Girls Editor's note : As the young Prince of Wales joins thou sands of other boys going back to school, Britons are sudden ly becoming aware that the heir to their throne is getting to "that age." Around the pubs they're beginning to wink and say. "wonder if young Charlie has a girl yet?" By ROBERT ML'SEL United Press International LONDON (UPI)-Women have driven many a man to strong drink. Can the reverse be true of Prince Charles, heir to the British throne? This summer the son of Queen Eliiabeth had his first alcoholic drink in public a cherry brandy at a Scottish pub. Ever since then although it may be merely coincidence he has been showing interest in the pretty and well-born young girls and teenagers from whom The Medical Roundup V ' Emeruus Consultant in Medicine Mayo r Utile Emeritus Professor ( Medicine Mayo Clinic (Register ajd Tribune Syndicate, 1963) Mental Disorder Due to Copper In a recent release from the Albert Einstein College of Med icine, four doctors Drs. Philip A l s e n, J. B. Schorr, A. G. Morell, and I. H. Scheinberg discussed W 1 1 son's disea s e, which is due to the piling up of copper in vital organs, such as the brain, t h e ,ivaret "ver and the kidneys. It generally leads to both physical and mental crip pling. It can prove fatal if not properly treated. The disease is rare, but there may be one patient per 1,000 people with it in this country. It is one of those several brain injuring diseases which experts are now looking for in all in fants, when they are born. A child with Wilson's disease, if the condition is not quickly Ireated, will usually die early in life. Those who develop the dis ease during their adult days may linger on for 10 years or more. Partly because the mal ady is so rare, the diagnosis can easily be missed. The adult patient may be thought to have schizophrenia, or cirrhosis of the liver, or Parkinson's disease. Fortunately, proper treatment can do much to save the per son's health. When the diagnosis is made, all foods rich in copper must be avoided. These foods include liver, mushrooms, chocolate, nuts and oysters. To help get accumulated copper out of the body, the doctor will give potas sium sulfide and penicillamine. To show what can be done: the doctors tell of a seriously ill young woman who for a year had been unable to feed or dress herself. After two weeks of treatment in the hospital and five months of treatment at home, she was a changed per sonup and about, and looking for a full-time job. Another patient, a 9-year-old boy, fortunately had the condi tion correctly diagnosed when he was 10 months old. Today he looks healthy. In contrast, his older sister, whose Wilson's dis ease was not diagnosed in time, is very ill at the age of 12. There is a pw blood test which makes it possible to de lect Wilson's disease even be fore there are any outward signs of it. Any laboratory now can make the test with a drop of blood. An infant is likely to get the disease if both of his parents are carriers of it. In one family studied, there were three chil dren, all of whom died of Wil son's disease. Because the test is so simple, from now on in good hospitals it is likely to be made on all infants born in the place. It is so cheering today to read of these diseases which, if tested for and recognized in time, can be kept from seriously injuring an infant's brain. Answers are constantly com ing now to the prayers of hun dreds of thousands of parents who have sought everywhere for help for their mentally retarded child only if the proper diag nosis is made in infancy. Artificial Hearts Work is being done In a few places in this country in an ef fort to find a substitute for a damaged heart. Possibly some day a simple motor will be put into the chest. In a recent arti cle, Dr. John L. Bach of Chi cago wrote about the work be ing done. Already a motor has been devised that will run on air pressure derived from the lungs, but it hasn't yet been perfected. During the last years, some men have been kept alive with the help of a little electric ap paratus placed under their skin. This little mechanism keeps sup plying stimuli which keep the heart beating after a "heart block" has made it impossible for the normal rhythmic stimu lus to keep the heart going. Recently, a way has been found to tap the body's own mechanical energy so that, per haps some day, it can supply the necessary stimulus that will keep a heart beating after it has lost the normal stimulus. I wouldn't be surprised if, within the next few year, people will be walking around, using a heart which was put into their chest to replace one that had begun to work badly. Or, per haps in many cases, the badly working heart will be so well repaired that it will go on work ing properly again for many years. he may someday choose his queen. If he were, say, an American other when Charles graduates boy, the Prince probably would already be dating these girls. But since he won't be 15 until Nov. 14 and the royal family has its own strict rtiies he only i meets them at parties or with ,' his 13-year-old sister. Princess I Anne. ! But the interest is definitely there and the cherry brandy in cident has served to alert the British public to what match makers everywhere already had taken into account the Prince is growing up. Despite his com parative youth, the race to share his throne distant i though that day may be since his mother is a young 37 is already in its preliminary stages. Writer Declares Administration 'Fascist Type' PORTLAND (UPD The Ken nedy Administration is a "fas cist type" government, writer and lecturer Ayn Rand said in a talk at Lewis and Clark col lege Wednesday. Miss Rand defined the fascist state as one where the business man retains title to his busi ness, but the government con trols it by law. "The New Frontier is not of socialism but of fascism simi lar to the Italian dictatorial scheme of a planned economy," she said. And she added, Gov. Nelson Rockefeller is a man "who can carry out all of Kennedy's poli cies and do better." Teaches Man To Think In an interview, the founder of the objectivist school of phil osophy said the basic good of her philosophy is that it teaches that man needs to think and then act according to reason. She said politically she is neither a conservative or a lib eral, but "so far right as to be next to anarchy." She said she is opposed to Ihe John Birch Society because it stands for nothing and is only against communism. But she added that she is smeared most frequently by "liberals" because she is opposed to the. welfare state. Accurate Account Miss Rand is the author of "Fountainhead" and "Atlas Shrugs." She said the latter is an accurate account of the cur rent political situation in the country. She said the book got bad re views in 1957 because no one would believe the events it por-. trayed. She added that if some one wrote a novel about the events in Washington today, "no one would believe the book." One of the common miseries of mankind, probabiy related to fibrositis or arthritis, is bursitis. Dr. Alvarez offers more infor mation about it in his 25-cent booklet, "Arthritis and Rheuma tism."

PLENTY OF PRECAUTION LONDON (UPD When Post Office workers heard ticking in side a package marked "live bomb" Wednesday night, they called police, who called fire men, who called bomb disposal men, who dumped it into a bucket of water, then gingerly opened it.

Ashland, has enrolled at Southern Oregon college under the Lnited States National Banks Work-College program, Mrs. Mabel W. Winston, regis trar, has announced. Under the Work -College pro gram, the U. S. National Bank selects young men from com munities throughout Oregon and offers them a job opportunity and a scholarship to attend the college of their choice. According to A. O. Strom quist, assistant vice president and educational director of the bank's head office in Portland. Bohn is the first student to at tend Southern Oregon college under the program. Bohn is a sophomore major ing in business. that fate has dealt them the un kindest cut of all. With a glut of unmarried daughters on their hands not one of the princesses is in the right age group!

George VI did when he mr- ried Lady Elizabeth Bowps-Ly-1 on, now the Queen Mother. One of his favorites at the moment is Lady Henrietta Etis- I ton. 14-year-old daughter of the Earl of Euston. who was his j "acknowledged" sweetheart a i few years ago. As very v oting children sometimes do, he said ' he was going to marry "Etta" i when he grew up. I They still meet at parties and will probably see more of each from Gordonstoun school in Scotland. He will take the exam ination this autumn which will .help his parents decide his fu-. litre training. 1 Considers Navy ! This will include either a pe- 1 riod of service in the navy i which his father, the sailor Duke of Edinburgh would like or with the crack Grenadier Guards in the army. Preceding this will be university training Dartmouth naval college or I even Oxford or Cambridge. ! His cousin. Prince William of Gloucester, this term is starling ' a year at Stanford university in California, but Prince Charles. is not apt to follow this royal precedent. As heir to the throne he will have to pursue his studies in the nation he will someday rule But that will keep him closer to the blue-blooded British beau ties whose parents cannot help thinking of him as the most eli gible young man in the world. Through his sister and through mixed dancing classes Prince Charles has met quite a few girls. Among them is Marilvn Wills, 14, daughter of Hon. Mrs. John Wills who is the Queen Moth er's niece; Susan Babington- Smifh, 13, daughter of a wealthy banker, is another friend, and so is Caroline Hamilton, 13, granddaughter of the Dean of Windsor. The Prince will meet more of the "right" type of girls next year when he joins the junior polo club of the Garth Hunt club. Its members range from 12 to 17 years old. Charles may have liked the cherry brandy but if he has in herited any of the traits of his fun-loving ancestors, King Hen ry VIII and King Edward VII, he is bound to decide soon that girls are more fun. lililary Pay Bill Signed Inio Law ' dent Kennedy signed into law i Wednesday legislation providing a $1.2 billion pay increase for ! nearly two million members of the armed forces effective im mediately.
