THE DOCTOR SAYS . .
Hazardous Activity
Not For Epileptic
By W. C. BRANIXSTADT,
Wrlllrn for
: Newspaper Knterprise Assn,
EdiIcdsv is one of Uie most mis'
understood of diseases. In biblical
times and in some parts of the
world today epileptics have been
thought to be possessed by evil
spirits.
Now that we doctors have taken
a closer look we know that cpilep
sv is not a sincle disease but
that more than a dozen types of
seizure have been lumped under
this one term. The mechanism is
an abnormal electrical disturb-!
ancc in the brain but in m o s
cases what causes this IS un
known.
Much of the fear associated with
epilipsy is due to this very fact
fear of the unknown, especially
when it has to do with the brain
This is afifiravated by the fact
that the victim often has no way
of knowing when he Is fioing to
have his next attack. In a lew
epileptics there are warning signs
that come to be recognizee: as
such and these persons can at
least prevent a fall.
How would you feel if you woke
up lying on a crowded sidewalk
surrounded by gaping strangers
and were told that you had cried
out, fallen, gone into convulsions
drooled, frotlied at the mouth,
breathed heavily and snored loud
ly and rolled your eyes?
.' Since the epileptic has no recol
lection of any of these things, he
is asked to lake the word of
strangers. Since he can neither
prove or disprove their story he
becomes embarrassed and resent
ful. If, in addition to this, he
finds that he has bitten his tongue
and perhaps urinated, his em
barrassment is aggravated.
This is a description of the se
vere or grand mal attack. Many
attacks arc far less severe and
may amount to only a momen
tary blackout.
Until the electric brain wave
recorder was invented a few years
ago, the diagnosis was hard to
make because the attacks so rare
ly occurred when a doctor or
other trained observer was pres
ent. .
who
could
by
to
M.D.Islander might be. the doctor
examined the sufferer later
not be sure that the seizures w
not hysterical or feigned. Now
examining the brain waves of
epileptic, even when he is not
an altack, a characteristic patti
can be recognized.
It might be well at this point
explode the myth that epileptic
either are or will become Insane
A few feeble-minded or insane
persons also have epilepsy just
they may also have diabetes
dandruff. On the other hand many
brilliant and talented persons
(he past did not let this handicap
prevent them from achieving
greatness of one sort or another.
Evidence points to the fact that
Julius Caesar and relix Mendel
sohn were epileptics.
Because Die attacks come sud.
denly and unexpectedly, the suf
ferer should not be allowed to
swim, ride a bicycle, drive a car,
climb a ladder or engage in any
other activity that might endang
er his life should an attack come.
In general, alcohol should be
avoided; plenty of restful sleep
should be allowed, and mental and
physical exercise I but not such
contact sports as football, wres
tling, and boxingi should be en
couraged. Several drugs have
been used with varying degrees
of success.

FOREIGN NEWS COMMENTARY
British Politicians Mourn Gaitskell Death
By PHIL NKWSOM
IT! Foreign News Analyst
Among British political opinion
and London newspapers alike the
reaction to the death of Labor
party leader Hugh Gaitskell
seemed unanimous.
Building By Bonding Plan
Explored By Legislators
No matlcr how suggestive of ada'a softwood lumber exports to
epilepsy the description of a by-1 the United States.
Hep. John Mosser Hi-Washing
ton Counlyl and Sen. Alfred H.
Corbett 'D-Mullnomah County)
are exploring a method
of providing needed higher cdu
cation instructional builuingsl
through bonding without special
vote of the people.
We are exploring amending
'existing statutes to provide a spc-
ific allocation of money Irom tui
tion, earmarked for paying on
instructional buildings, laborato
ries and other facilities." Mosser
nd Corbett point out that exist
ing law calls for a special stu
dent building fee. the proceeds
from which go into a fund for
paying off dormitory, student un
ion and similar buildings.
It seems logical that if charges
can sustain self-liquidating proj
ects like dormitories, the board
could make similar allocations to
cover the classroom buildings
which are determined necessary
to meet, the unusually large in
crease in students," Senator Cor
bett and Representative Mosser
said.
"The proposal has the advan
tage of avoiding the expense of a
state wide election," the two legis
lators argue, "and is feasible."
The present unused bonding ca
pacity exceeds $43 million. It is
estimated that a special alloca
tion of $16 or $17 a term would
be sufficient to cover interest and
retirement costs of bonds and
maintenance of the new buildings.
No increase in student charges
would be required, they said.
Budgetary as well as statutory
changes would be required if the
Mosser-Corbett plan is adopted,
but the total dollars involved
should not be any more than if
general bonds are issued, they
assert.
Mosser and Corbett point out
that in the present higher cduca-
tion budget, a double standard is
in effect with regard to build
ings. "While the governor has
approved the entire $25,977,000 re
quested for 'self-liquidating' proj
ects such as dormitories and
student activity buildings, build
ing requests for lastructional facil
ities have been cut by more than
50 per cent."
"This means that classrooms
may not be constructed, although
housing facilities are available.
It would make more sense to
build classrooms and dormitories
at the same pace. Perhaps class
rooms should be incorprated into
dormitories, constructed and de-

Said the Conservative Sunday
Telegraph:
"It is a measure of Mr
Gaitskell's stature that his death
has reduced the whole future of
British politics to speculation.
The Sunday Express said that
never before in modern British
political history had the loss of
a single leader dealt such a blow
to a major party.
For Gaitskell was not only the
helmsman of his party, he was
also in many ways the designer
of its present mould.
He had modified the party s
program ol nationalization lor
British industry, he had over
come leftwing demands for ban-
the-bomb and unilateral disarma
ment, and by sheer pcrsistancc
led his party to the point where
public opinion polls gave it 44.5
per cent of the vote and labeled
him Britain's next prime minis
ter.
He had descirbed himself as a
poor hater, yet he was able to
take on the flamboyant Nye
Bevan. a better hater than most,
and defeat him in 1955 for the
party leadership.
A quiet man, he could be goad
ed to anger.
In Glasgow, followers of the
Committee for Nuclear Disarma
ment attempted to disrupt a party
rally which Gaitskell was ad
dressing.
Snapped Gaitskell:
"Go and see what it is like to
deal with Soviet police and So
viet tanks like the Hungarian
people."

Gaitskell came from ,a middle
class family, the son of a civil
servant. He never walked in a
picket line, yet early decided that
"my future belongs to the work
ing class."
He . became a don at London
University, and in the Labor land
slide of 1945 began a meteoric
rise in government. All of this
without flash or color, but as an
intellectual.
The party platform was Gait
skell's own. Whether British
voters will accept his successor
as the creator's image or only as
a poor carbon copy still must be
determined.
Among possible successors
there- are two immediately out
standing. One is deputy leader
George Borwn, a likeable trade
unionist who took over in Gait
skell's illness. The other is Harold
Wilson, a brilliant man distrusted
by some for his ambition.
It is not only over the Labor
party that Gaitskell's figure still
looms large. For the Conserva
tives of Prime Minister Harold
Macmillan a break in Labor unity
could mean a reprieve. For the
upcoming Liberals of Jo Grim-
mond. it might mean a chance
for fusion with Labor and an
earlier chance than expected to
participate in government.
