Don of Grants Pass hit the nail
on the head Saturday night when he
gave his answer to the ott-asked
question, "What Is Alcoholic Anon
ymous?", at a regional AA meet
ing in Klamath Falls.
He said that there was nothing
new about AA and that its In
only because they make every ef
fort lo help others. It is generally
conceded that A A sobriety, to
ligion, medicine and psychiatry.
The way Don put it, persons
suffering from the disease of al
coholism are victims of a combi
nation of mental, moral and pysi
cal ailments.
That's the reason," he added
"the alcoholic seldom got needed
help when he went singly to his
physician, clergyman or psychi
atrist. Each had something he
needed but not one of them alone
was able to give adequate help.
Again quoting Don:
"The founders of AA took a little
the physician and a little from the
psychiatrist and formulated the
recovery program of Alcoholics
Anonymous." .

AP Science Reporter
CHICAGO Ifl A major Ameri
can scientific honor has been
awarded a scientist who fled here
in - 1947 from Hungary to do re
search that might be "no damn
good at all."
He is Dr. Albert Szent-Gyorgi,
60, who late yesterday was pre
sented the Albert Lasker Award
of the American Heart Assn in-
eluding a $1,000 prize for "dlstin
. gulshed achievement" In the field
of research concerned with heart
and blood-vessel diseases.
Specifically, he was honored for
pioneering studies leading to a
better understanding of the action
of muscles a contribution which
the AHA declared had provided
new clues to the mechanism of
heart failure anfl "removed . . .
many barriers to the study of
normal and diseased hearts."
, Vet's
Mailbag
Eleven years ago the Congress
enacted into law a measure call
ing for the rehabilitation of dis
abled members of the armed ser
vices. Known as Public Law 16, in
the 11 years since Its approval, the
law has provided for the rehabili
tation of World War n and for Kor
' ean war veterans In ever increas
ing numbers.
Veterans Administration records
reveal that veternns with Just about
every kind of disability can be
successfully rehabilitated. VA rec
ords show that more than 600 thou
sand World War H disabled vet
erans were trained or are In train
ing under the law. Three years ago
the law was amended to provide
for the Korean veteran. Already
some-13 thousand have taken vo
cational training.
The types of training run through
i Just about every list of activity in
: the book the veterans seeking
( training in practically everything
from atomic physics and automo-
bile mechanics to zoology. The
, study disclosed that a little better
than one of every three of these
disabled veterans trained for the
. professions and top-level manger
lal Jobs. Another third enrolled In
trades and Industrial courses, pre
purlng themselves for Jobs "such as
1 machinists, mechanics, electronics
specialists and simlllar activities.
The balance went in for careers
such as farming, sales jobs, cler
ical or office activities and for
service occupations. One of the
most unusual training activities is
that of a blinded New York veteran
' who Is successfully pursuing a ca.
reer as an ooeratlo singer.
The training program for World
War II disabled veterans under
Public Law 16 ends on July 2E,
1956. For the Korean1 veterans it
will end nine years after the end of
the present emergency, a date not
yet declared.
QUESTION OP THE WEEK
Q. I notice that you keep ad
visine veterans to check all con
tracts before purchasing a home
under the GI loan program. Does
that include a deposit agreement,
too, or do you mean just the GI
loan contract itself? ,
A. That means every contract or
agreement you are requested to
sign as a part of the deal. If you
are In doubt about any agreement
or contract, see your lawyer first
before you sign.
US Civil Defense
Said Inadequate
SAN FRANCISCO fP) Val Peter
son, federal civil defense admin
istrator, says despite much pro
gress, "there is no civil defense
organization in America equal to
the problem we face."
He said it Is the job of local civil
. defense authorities to face that
I problem and make ready for it.
The gentle, friendlv. arav-haired
researcher had won the Nobel
Prise in medicine In 1937 for his
isolation of vitamin C.
And he had won other honors
for other achievements.
But, all that was behind him
when he came to this country in
1947 from Hungary to continue
work on muscle research that had
been interrupted by World War II.
"When settling in this countrv."
he said in accepting the Lasker
award, "I had the greatest diffi
culty in finding adequate financial
support for my research, because
wherever I asked for help I was
assea ior a project of what I was
going to do.
My answer had to be i don't
know, that's why it Is research.1
'And when I was asked what it
(might be) good for that is. the
researcn I was doing I had to
answer:
" 'No damn good at all.' "
But he declared that eventually
a unicago meat packing and re-
search firm, Armour it Co.. proved
to be "the only one who was will
ing to give me money and turn
me loose.
Ann it was that firm's "far-
sighted generosity that enabled
me to do the work" that led to
the heart association's award, he
said.
The scientist, now director of the
Institute for Muscle Research at
woods Hole, Mass., told reporters
that studies under way by himself
and his colleagues might eventu
ally lead to an "approach" to t
better understanding of such elu
sive ailments as muscular dys-
iropny.
