Yank Soldier Sold
Secrets lo Reds,
Took Own Life
WASHINGTON (UPI) - An
Army sergeant who worked for
the ton secret National Security
Agency (NSA) received at: esti
mated $60,000 from Russia for
secret documents but killed him
self when his high living gave
him away, it was learned Thurs
day. The sergeant was identified
by sources as Jack Edward Dun
lap, 35, who killed himself in
Glen Burnic, Md., July 23.
He was attached to the NSA's
Fort Meade, Md., headquarters.
The agency deals with mili
tary intelligence, particularly
codes of this country and for
eign powers. Us work is per
haps the most secret of all gov
ernment agencies. It is a branch
of the military establishment.
Dunlap was believed to have
smuggled documents out of the
NSA headquarters over a pe
riod of more than two years.
The Defense Department, ask
ed for official comment on the
disclosures, said an Army ser
geant named Jack Edward Dun
lap, formerly of Bogalusa, La.,
committed suicide near Fern-
dale, Md. His body was found
by Anne Arundel county police
early July 23. He had run a
hose from the exhaust of his
Cadillac into the front window
of his car.
The department said Dunlap
had been relieved of duty with
the NSA several weeks before
he killed himself.
The FBI declined comment
on the story.
New Road To Open
Deschutes Area
PORTLAND (UPI) -An ac
cess road which will open up a
14-mile area along the lower
Deschutes river is "the first
breakthrough in one of the
stale's knottiest access problems
in 30 years," a Bureau of Land
Management official said Thurs
day. A survey crew now is staking
out the road in Wasco and Sher
man counties. The government
recently appropriated $2fi6,000
for its construction.
Robert E. Wilbur told the
Westmoreland Chapter of the
lzaak Walton League that pri
vate clubs and individuals have
kept 60 miles of the lower Des
chutes bottled up for the lust
30 years.
The private clubs purchased
key tracts of railroad land which
controlled access to larger tracts
of public land, then erected
locked gates and no tresspassing
signs.
Wilbur warned that serious
access problems remain to be
solved along tho river, however.

The Medical
fv J
or
Multiple Sclerosis
Dr. Fernando Torres, of the
University of Minnesota, is in
terested in several facts about
multiple sclerosis. As he says,
whv Hops the disease conr-on-
ly begin arouno.
age 25, ana wny
is its incidence
higher in wom
en than in
men? Why does
the trouble tend
to flare up and
then quiet
down? Why is
there the defi
nite tendenev
,livarcs - . -
for it to become less trouble
some as the person - ows older?
The disease tends to give the
most trouble in the first two of
five years, after which it gener
ally quiets down; there are only
a few cases in which it gets
steadily worse.
The main characteristic of the
disease is the destruction of the
myelin which surrounds the
nerves and thereby insulates
them as if they were electric
wires. The nerves themselves
are rarely affected. Naturally,
then, much study is now being
directed toward learning wnal
factors influence the formation
and destruction of myelin. Ef
forts arc being made to find out
how in health the myelin is
formed.
In recent years, several re
search workers have announced
their apparent discovery of a
virus or a spirochete (a tiny
spiral org is-n) as a cause for
multiple sclerosis, but their
findings could not be c-'ir"ied
by anvonc. There is a possibili
ty that the cause is an allergic
one. Tile research workers arc
handicapped because, so far,
they Hvo been unable to pro
duce the disease in aniirHs.
Something that resembles m.s.
can be fnnnri at times in ani
mals, and particularly in sheep.
It has been f1- that in
some cases there is a hereditary
factor, but it does not appear
to be the essential one. An as
yet unanswered puzzle is
Why is the disease found more
often in countries somewhat dis
tant from the equator? It
seems to he unknown among the
Australian ' ngines. In Israel,
Ihi ii cidence imong immigrants
fro the northern and central
parts of Europe has been some
10 times that among the native
Israelis and among immigrants
from (he middle - eastern coun
tries. How wonderful it might
be if we knew why there is this
difference.
Unfortunately, as yet there Is
no sign of a good treatment that
is directed at the cause.

Mavu Clinic
Emeritus Profeiior of Medlcln
Mayo Clinic
(Recutcr aad Tribune Syndlcat.
1963)
vania School of Medicine wrote
rocpnllv. this baldness in wom
en is very different from that
of men in that one pracucany
never sees a shinging bald head
like-that which many men have.
In the women there is an even
ly scattered thinning of the hair
all over the head. It never be
gins as an oval area over the
top of the head, and the hair
line does not recede back from
the forehead, as it docs in mid-
dl-agcd men.
The doctors suspect that one
trouble with these elderly wom
en is that they have more male
hormone in their body than they
should have. (All women have
some male hormone in them; it
is secreted in the adrenal glands
which lie over the kidneys). The
only trouble is how to get rid
of this excess of hormone, grant
ing that it is present; it cannot
easily be done.
The boldness in women can
perhaps be hereditary in origin.
It is not associated with dan
druff or any other known dis
ease of the scalp. Experts are
not satisfied that it is due to
repeated "waving" of the hair
now so popular. Microscopic
study shows that what has hap
pened is that the follicles in
which the hairs grow have de
generated. When one looks at
these follicles and sees how
badly destroyed they are, one
cannot have much hope that
any sort of treatment can ever
bring back the hair; actually
the authors know of no way to
help. They conclude that Hie best
thing the woman can do is to
buy a switch or a wig.
How To Stop Smoking
Recently, Dr. G. W. Lynch of
the department of psychological
medicine of the Univ. of Edin
burgh, said that surveys have
shown that if a man wants to
slop heavy smoking, perhaps
because some serious illness is
threatening him, the only good
way is to quit quickly and en
tirely. Efforts to cut down slow
ly practically never work, as
most smokers know. Even after
a heavy smoker has gone for
weeks or months without smok
ing, he usually goes back to it.
In another studv, it was
shown that when a smoker gets
a chronic cough there is only
one way to get well and save
himself from serious injury to
his lungs, and this is to quit
smoking.
Multiple Sclerosis, a much
dreaded disease, will in some
cases quiet down and leave the
patient alone for years, or even
for the rest of his davs. Dr. Al
varez has prepared a lit t lo i

Citizenship Class
Urged as Part of
School Curriculum
By DAVID N'YDICK
ITI Education Specialist
Millions of eligible voters do
not exercise this basic right nor
fulfill this responsibility. The
reason may be that as students
they probably were not fully
taught what being a United
States citizen involves.
Some teachers and schools,
recognizing their responsibili
ties, place an emphasis on the
subject of good citizenship. Some
junior and senior high schools
have a token course. These are
not typical of the nation's
schools.
Is there a teacher's college
which offers a specific course
in the teaching of citizenship?
Perhaps there are a few but it
is certainly not a standard pro
cedure. This should be a re
quirement for the issuance of a
teacher s license. It is every
one s fault, not because they ob
ject to this but because they
have done nothing about it.
Participation Needed
The strength of our nation de
pends upon the enthusiastic
participation of its citizens.
Some people might argue that
the direct teaching of citizen
ship is indoctrination. But you
cannot expect an individual to
guess what his responsibilities
are. He must obtain the knowl
edge and understanding through
education. He must also develop-
the attitudes which are neces
sary to encourage his coopera
tion and participation in activi
ties concerned with public wel
fare and government. I

This is not meant to indicate
that all citizens neglect their re
sponsibilities. But too many tend
lo be lackadaisical about these
important parts of democratic
living.
Although not fully responsible,
schools have not put the needed
effort into developing programs
concerning citizenship and re
lated activities. Millions of dol
lars are spent yearly develop
ing cirriculums. Very little is
earmarked for research con
cerning citizenship programs.
U. S. History Fascinating
The study of American history
can be fascinating. A student is
exposed to this several times in
his school career. The practice
of politics also can be extremely
intriguing and important. The
schools teach about our govern
ment's development and struc
ture but they often neglect to in
clude a study of political history
and influence. The political par
ties and their members ' prob
ably have more effect upon our
government than most other fac
tors. An individual surely will
have a greater understanding
and feeling for our government
if he is aware of the growth of
political parties and what they
stand for.
Citizenship responsibilities are
more extensive in our form of
government than in most others.
The development of skills in the
area of citizenship is as impor
tant as those in science and
mathematics. A look at school
programs should indicate where
to begin solving this problem.

Edwards presented a c h a r I

"The Detroit area Mafia of

said. "On the legal side it is

on the illegal, everything from

the Mafia's principal product is

Edwards identified Anthony

The proposal had been sharp

Cardinal Spellman of New York,
who warned that an order of
married deacons might jeopar

for the priesthood.
A Curia cardinal. Fernando

said deacons should be bound

Doctor Disputes
Disease Theory
Behind Alcoholism
LOS ANGELES (UPI) - A
doctor specializing in the treat
ment of alcoholism disputed the
theory that it is a disease.
Dr. Stephan Seymour, medi
cal director of the Seymour
Hospital and Clinic for Alco
holics in Los Angeles, said, "I
don't feel alcoholism is a dis
ease. It is an illness only when
a person is suffering from acute
alcholism, that is when he has
been poisoned by alchohol. But
chronic alcoholism is an ex
pression of a person's inability
to think."
Seymour, a former Olympic
Games athlete, said in an in
terview that he came to his
conclusion "after treating four
or five thousand patients.
"I realized that the common
denominator among all these
patients had been that they had
not known how to think," he
explained. "They think like
children.
Convenient Excuse
"By saying alcoholism is a dis
ease," he continued, "we have
put it into a very convenient
light so that is becomes excus-

able and understandable. Saying
it is a disease is a wonderful
out. The alcoholic says, 'Don't
blame me for having a di
sease.' "
While Seymous conceded that
there might be a so-called "X"
factor in a person's body chem
istry which makes him aller
gic to alcohol, he said that wg
blame me for having a dis
ease.' "
"The alcoholic doesn't drink
for the pleasure of it," Sey
mour said. "He uses alcohol
to forget his problems and tho
necessity to solve them. The
basic reason an alcoholic
drinks is that he is emotional
ly immature. Mature persons
don't turn into alcoholics."
Seymour criticized the re
search now being done in I'm
field, saying it is concentrated
into two areas study of al
cohol and study of emotions.
Thinking Not Discussed
"The word thinking is never
discussed," he complained. "A
person can find out the cause
of his fears but that doesn't
teach him how to think. It
doesn't teach him how to han
dle new problems and new peo
ple." An alcoholic's difficulties of
ten began in childhood, accord
ing to Seymour, because par
ents pass patterns of immature
thinking on to their children by
their example.
"Problem drinkers are prob
lem thinkers surrounded by a
family of problem thinkers,"
he said.
Seymous believes so strong
ly in the need for improved
thinking habits that he is writ
ing a book on the subject
which, he said, is the product
of eight years research into
the subject.
He also advocated leaching
logic in schools.
"We are taught facts, but not
how to think," he said.
