Thousands of Girls Must Die
Muriel Davidson, in a paper
in the Ladies' Home Journal
(for November, 1963) says that
in this next year more than a
million girls and women with
unwanted pregnancies will risk
their lives by asking an ignor
ant amateur to perform an
abortion. As Miss Davidson
points out, there are two main
types of abortionists: one, a
graduate physician, who will
perform a curetment (scraping
of the contents out of the
womb) an operation which,
with proper precautions, is not
dangerous. Certainly the doc
tor should have sense enough
not to push the curet through
the wall of the womb; only a
very clumsy operator will do
that. It is the perforation of the
womb that causes many of the
deaths that follow an abortion.
In every city of any size there
are abortionists of the gradu
ate medical type.
Nurses of Sorts
Two: There are the many
amateurs, all without such
medical knowledge as will en
able them to perform an abor
tion without injuring or infect
ing or killing the poor girl or
woman. As Miss Davidson says,
many of these amateurs are
nurses of sorts, while others
can be anything. Some of these
people stick a catheter (rub
ber or plastic tube) into the
womb, while others inject into
the womb some powerful poi
son. As a result, in every big
city of this land, hundreds of
girls and women come into
hospitals in a very serious con
ditionthe result of a crude ef
fort of some amateur to pro
duce an abortion. Some of these
would-be abortionists try to
teach the girl to abort herself
which is next to impossible.
Some give strong drugs by
mouth, which commonly (ail to
work.
Many of the girls, who after
an abortion eel infected and
nearly die, are left sterile for
life. Later, when they marry
and want a child, they cannot
conceive.
Many Are Married
Although a high percentage
of the eirls and women who go
for an abortion are single, there
are hundreds of thousands who
are married. In 1960, in the
United States, 224,000 babies
were born out of wedlock. Many
more such were born, but the
birth was not reported or re
corded correctly. What should
be done? Unfortunately, it may
well be a hundred years before
anything logical is done any
thing that would really save the
health and lives of thousands of
our girls. We human beings
have too great a tendency to
make a law that is supposed to
put an end to some practice,
and then to close our eyes
lightly to the fact that our law
has had only a bad effect. We
brush the whole thing under
the rug.
Group Opposes
Stockpile Cuts
SPOKANE (UPI) -The North
west Mining Association has
lashed out at any attempt to
reduce stockpiles of strategic
minerals and metals.
The resolution calling the gov
ernment's stockpiles of strategic
minerals and metals "national
assets of great value... insurance
against future emergency re
quirements" was one of a num
ber passed at the 68th annual
session.
The resolution said, "we urge
that present stockpiles be used
only for national security pur
poses." Among other resolutions was
one joining the American Mining
Congress and other groups in
urging establishment of a joint
committee of monetary policy to
inquire into the problems caused
by shortages of gold and silver.
Lake Oswego Man Dies
In Accidental Fall
SAN FRANCISCO (UPI) -Glen
Oliver, 36, Lake Oswego,
Ore., fell to his death Sunday in
side a San Francisco hotel
where he was staying.
Oliver apparently fell through
a stair railing and dropped to
the floor below in the Sheraton
Palace Hotel.
He was district manager of
the McCormick-Schilling Co.
Journalism Seminar
Set for Teachers
EUGENE - The University
of Oregon's School of Journal
ism, for the third time, will offer
a seminar for high school
journalism teachers during the
1964 summer session, under the
sponsorship of The Newspaper
Fund.
The Newspaper Fund, a foun
dation supported by The Wall
Street Journal, selected the UO
as one of 14 institutions in the
nation to conduct such a sem
inar. Open to teachers and publica
tions advisers at Northwest high
schools, the three-week session
is designed to improve the
teaching of journalism in sec
ondary schools, to upgrade stu
dent publications, and to pro
vide career information which
will later attract more bright
youngsters to journalism careers.
Teachers will be granted
Newspaper Fund study grants
to enable them to attend the
seminar.
Paul S. Swensson, executive
director of The Newspaper
Fund, who visited the univer
sity last year, made the announcement.
Salvage Operations
Start on Freighter
ASTORIA, Ore. (UPI) - Sal
vage operations were to begin
today on the freighter C Trader
which was aground in tne Co
lumbia River six miles west of
here.
An evaluation was made Sun
day to see how much work
would be needed before at
tempts could be made to refloat
the 256-foot vessel.
The ship, which had taken on
a cargo of lumber at Raymond,
Wash., was en route to Los An
geles Friday night when it lost
its steering and electric power
and began sinking. It was taken
under tow by the Coast Guard
cutter Mallow near Willapa Bay,
Wash., and the tow was trans
ferred to the commercial sal
vage vessel Salvage Chief north
of here early Saturday.
The ship reached the mouth
of the Columbia about 8 a.m.
Saturday and proceeded across
the bar. She continued to settle
in the water and then ran
aground in the harbor inside the
bar. Tugs pulled the freighter
further up onto the sand so that
salvage operations could be per
formed.
Preventive Health Fund Lack Rapped
TUESDAY, DECEMBER 10. 1063
PORTLAND (UPI) -Dr. For
rest E. Rieke. bretiident of the
State Board of Health, Monday
criticized lack of funds to en
able the board to do an ade
quate job in preventive health.
"We can't spend money for
our state health needs if the
federal government has all the
tax dollars," he told the annual
conference of Oregon health of
ficers and sanitarians here.
Dr. Rieke said, "There is onlv
so much money available as
health dollars and these could
be better spent if the public
would wake up and realize
where their health money is going."
He criticized much federal
money spent for Veterans hos
pitals as a "duplication of
health services," and said Fed
eral Hill-Burton funds were be
ing used to build unnecessary
community hospitals in some
areas.
"Preventive medicine is being
neglected and under-financed in
Oregon as elsewhere in the
country," he said. "We are
building big monuments such as
hospitals, instead of preventing
disease."
