Us worst loss since May 14 Thurs

to around 2 points.
Brokers attributed the fall both
to normal profit taking as well as
to Wall Street reports that the
Federal Reserve Board was re
verting to a tighter money policy
The Associated Press average of
60 stocks dropped $1.50 to $173 20
in its steepest drop since it lost
$1.90 on May 14. The industrials
were down $1.70, the rails $2.40
and the utilities 40 cents.
Volume totaled 2,690.000 shares
compared with 2.640,000 Wednes

Oregon State Hospital
Benefiting Greatly By
Doctor's Methods Of TLC
By PAUL W. HARVEY Jr.
SALEM (AP) Oregon state
hospital employes have gained
new confidence because a dedi
cated doctor has proved that even
the must deteriorated mental pa
tients can be helped.
Dr. Frank Wilcox, who joined
the hospital staff 15 months ago
after practicing in Newberg, began
his experiment five months ago.
The results have been dramatic.
His treatment is what the psy
chiatrists call ILL, meaning ten
der loving care.
He did his work on Ward 36.
It is the male ward with the most
hopeless patients. They are men
with split personalities, withdrawn
almost completely from the world.
Most of them were either violent
or had the personalities of vege
tables.
There are 69 men in the ward
Defense Chief
Explains Atom
Weapon Talk
QUANTICO. Va. (UPll-Defensc
Secretary Neil H. McElroy today
stuck by a statement that the
United States must be thinking in
terms of using "hopefully clean
and certainly limited" nuclear
weapons in small wars, i
The secretary, however, sought
to dispel any impression that he
had in mind the use of such weap
ons in the Middle East or in
Lebanon. He said he is hopeful
that the "very light" situation in
Lebanon will be solved by the
Lebanese people.
The Pentagon chief said through
a spokesman that, in advocating
use of nuclear weapons in small
wars, he intended no reference to
"any specific area or country.
He said he was referring to a hy
polhetical situation.
McElroy's original remarks
were made at a news conference
Thursday night as he opened the
annual three-day "secretaries con
ference.
More than 200 top military and
civilian leaders are attending dis
cussions keyed to the problem of
providing adequate defense in the
face of "skyrocketing" military
costs. McElroy warned that fur
ther cuts in the size of the armed
forces may be necessary.
The defense secretary told news
men America's 1,800 B47 bombers,
now assigned lo the Strategic Air
Command, could be armed with
conventional bombs and used in
small wars if necessary.
Asked if this meant he opposed
the use of nuclear weapons in
small wars, McElroy said on the
contrary the U.S. should plan to
use such weapons on a limited
basis, "where they would be ef
fective" in limited conflicts.
The secretary then was asked if
he would use the big B47s if
American forces became involved
in the Middle East. He said this
would be "most unusual," but
added:
"I wouldn't hesitate to use the
B47 if I didn't have better air
craft right at hand. In other words
if there were a very fast need.
It two or three hours made an
important difference. . . I wouldn't
hesitate to use B47s if they were
in forward bases."
Traffic Toll
Record Feared
CHICAGO, (UPP The Nation
al Safety Council fears the July
4th highway death toll may sur
pass that of the record Memorial
Day weekend just past.
The council said Thursday it
expected 45 million motorists to
take to the road this July 4th.
It said the Memorial Day week
end, in which 380 persons died on
the roadways, dramatically point-
en up the need for drivers extra
abrlncss during peak holiday
traffic periods.
"The fourth, which comes dur
ing the peak of the three-month
vacation season, usually brings
more deaths from trafhc am
dents than Memorial Day,
council warned.

Dr. Wilcox concentrated his work
on 29 of them. They had been in
the hospital lor 25 years
He started these patients on
electric shock treatment and med
ication, such as tranquilizer pills
But the principal treatment was
simple kindness and interest. Most
of the medication now has been
stopped.
The attendants on the ward
most of whom had been skeptical
about Dr. Wilcox's treatment, are
most enthusiastic now.
Dr. Dean K. Brooks, superin
tendent of the 3.500-patient hospi-
tal, calls the work of Dr. Wilcox
a miracle.
Dr. Brooks himself was in
charge of Ward 36 a decade ago.
A few weeks ago he looked out
the front window of his home and
saw the 29 men from Ward 36
wandering about the hospital
grounds. He telephoned the ward
to see if they had escaped.
Dr. Brooks learned that the
men had progressed to the point
where they had been given ground
parole. That meant they could
roam the hospital grounds without
supervision.
None of the men is under re
straints now. A few might even
progress to the point where they
can he sent home
They are allowed to use knives
and forks.
Their faces light up when Dr
Wilcox walks through the ward
They realize they have a good
Inend in him, and that alone is
largely responsible for their prog
ress.
"These men." Dr. Wilcox said,
"have suffered for years from
hospital stupor. What we have
done is break through the crust of
their deterioration.
'They were considered to be at
the end of the line. All were con
sidered hopeless. But now we have
proved that they can be helped to
the point that their lives can be
made more nearly normal
Dr. Brooks said, These patients
respond like you would expect any
body lo respond to kind treatment
and an interest in their lives.
It has been a heartening thing for
the entire hospital staif."
James D. Chambers, an aide in
the ward, said "We felt very good
about it. We're glad to see the
men get out of the ward into the
open air. It makes us feel like
we're accomplishing something
for these people."
One of the patients has been in
the hospital 20 years. He is 54
years old, once an executive in a
mill. Violent, he had been shut up
in a room eight years.
Now he's calm. He can t always
talk intelligibly, but has a keen
mind. He reads newspapers and
watches television. He told us all
about the latest developments in
the Sherman Adams affair in
Washington.
I he hospital doctors are grateful
for shock treatment and new
drugs. But they look upon these
only as tools to make their job
easier.
Their main job, they feel, is to
give the patients the love, atten
tion and interest that they need.
And they believe the experience
on Ward 36 is proof that they're
right.

Death Found
SPOKANE (AP) Air Force
investigators said Thursday there
was no negligence on the part of
anyone in the death of Lt. Thomas
R. Vrana, 23, who was run over
and fatally injured last week by
a 24-ton Duiidozer.
Col. Donald Hillman, command
er of the 92nd Bomb Wing at
Fairchild Air Force Base and
chairman 'of an investigations
board, said Vrana was hurt in
the line of duty but that there is
no government liability because
his death resulted from his own
actions.
Vrana, public information offi
cer at the base, jumped up on the
front of the bulldozer June 11 to
take a picture of Col. Willard At-
well, the base commander who
was at the controls. Atweli was
to break ground for a new 4 mil
lion dollar housing project at the
base.
As Atweli set the machine in
motion, Vrana slipped off and one
of the heavy tracks crawled over
the lower part of his body. He
died in a hospital 36 hours later.

Bomb Blows
On Street
Police yesterday couldn't con
vince two teen-age youths that set
ting a "bomb" off in the motor of
their car was a foolish and danger
ous thing to do.
They may learn this afternoon,
however, when they are scheduled
to appear in juvenile court on
charges of disorderly conduct.
The pair admitted they wired
the "bomb" onto spark plugs of
their auto, with the intention of
setting it off in Moore Park.
They told officers that some
thing went amiss, however, and it
"exploded" as they were driving
north on Tenth Street between
Main and Pine.
A woman walking on the side
walk was badly frightened.
Police said such stunts, with ac
companying loud noises, could eas
ily scare a driver or pedestrian
into having an accident.

increase or any new fringe benefiij
to employes. It permits a dis
cussion of wages in September, but
otherwise wages and contract are
extended until June 1, 1959.
One article was deleted from
the contract and a new article
proposed by the company was
added.
"To our knowledge, this is the
first such conclusion of negotia
tions with the LSW on 1958 is
sues," Irving said. "Much the
same result was achieved by LSW
Local 3074, Chester, California,
when it did not seek contractual
changes by notice prior to June
16."
According to Irving, the last con
tract involving 1958 negotiations
with the International Woodwork
ers of America in the area served
by PIRC was extended on June
18. The agreement, signed on that
date by officials of 1WA Local
13-365 and Sacramento Box and
Lumber Com-pany, both of Wood
leaf, California, makes no wage or
contract changes except to achieve
a gradual change from a piece
work method of computing pay
of (aliens and buckers to an hourly
rate of pay. PIRC says, "The full
conversions will become effective
with the beginning of the 1959
logging season." The agreement
runs lo June 1, 1959, "with a fall
look at wages."
Mack Slates
Land Trip
Klamath County Judge Charles
Mack will journey to Portland
Monday to preside over a meet
ing of the Public Lands Commit
tee, Association of Oregon Coun
ties. Mack is committee chair
man. On the agenda is a discussion
of a bill now" pending in Con
gress that would "open up" the
way counties can spend the 25 per
cent revenue they receive from
National Forest timber cuts.
Presently, counties can spend
these funds only for roads and
schools. If the bill passes, the
monies could also be spent for
other purposes.
The committee feels the present
restriction to roads and schools is
a good one, and thus is opposed
to the bill.
Committeemen will also discuss
the Klamath termination bill, now
pending before the House of Rep
resentatives. The Senate has
okayed a bill that would require
private purchasers of reservation
timber to operate on a sustained
yield basis. Under the Senate
passed measure, too, the federal
government would buy all reserva
tion timber not bought privately
by 1961.
A discussion will also be held on
a pending bill in Congress to boost"
duck stamps from $2 to $3. What
the money will be spent for,
whether for federal reserve pur
chases or development, is of im
portance to the committee.
