Wednesday, October t, 1963 FAGE-3A Doctor Disputes Theory Alcoholism Is Disease LOS ANGELES (UPI)-A doc tor specializing in the treatment of alcoholism today disputed the theory that it is a disease. Dr. Stephan Seymour, medical director of the Seymour Hospital; and Clinic for Alcoholics in Los Angeles, said, "I don't feel alco holism is a disease. It is an ill ness only when a person is suf fering from acute alcoholism, that is when he has been poisoned by alcohol. But chronic alcohol ism is an expression of a per son's inability to think." Seymour, a former Olympic Games athlete, said in an inter view that he came to his conclu sions "after treating four or five thousand patients. "I realized that the common denominator among all these pa tients had been that they had not known how to think," he ex plained. "They think like children. "By saving alcoholism is a dis ease." he continued, "we have put it into a very convenient light so that it becomes excusable and understandable. Saying it is a disease is a wonderful out. The alcoholic says, 'Don't blame me for having a disease." While Seymour conceded that there might be a so-called "X" factor in a person's body chem istry which makes him allergic to alcohol, he said that we biame alcoholism on secondary factors.! "The alcoholic doesn't drink for the pleasure of it," Seymour said.; "He uses alcohol to forget his problems and the necessity to solve them. The basic reason an alcoholic drinks is that he is emo tionally immature. Mature per-: sons don't turn into alcoholics." Seymour criticized the research now being done in the field, say-; ing it is concentrated into two areas study of alcohol and study of emotions. "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 handle new problems! and new people." I An alcoholic's difficulties often began in childhood, according to Seymour, because parents pass patterns of immature thinking on to their children by their exam ple. "Problem drinkers are problem thinkers surrounded by a family of problem thinkers," he said. Seymour believes so strongly in the need for improved thinking habits that he is writing a book on the subject which, he said, is the product of eight years re search into the subject. He also advocated teaching log ic in schools. "We are taught facts, but not how to think," he said. Fund Cut Delays Earth's Core Study WASHINGTON (UPIt-A proj ect scientists believe one of the most exciting projects being un dertaken by the government may be set back by a year or more because of budget cuts voted by the House Appropriations Com. mittee. The 8 million Mohole project to study the earth's core wasj among those that suffered when; the committee chopped $286 mil-; lion from the proposed $389 mil lion budget of the National Sci ence Foundation. Mohole project funds account for only a small fraction of the total foundation budget for the 1964 fiscal year, which ends next June 30, but it will suffer along with others if the over-all cut stands, a foundation spokes-; man said Tuesday. Mohole is a project to drill through the earth's crust to the underiving, little known mantle an J,800-mile deep layer which Anti-Toxins Rushed To Treat Victims Of Botulism; Death Toll Reaches Six KNOXVILLE, Tenn. (UPI) -j Supplies of a scarse anti-toxin were flown from Canada and Denmark today to combat a sus pected outbreak of botulism, ap parently stemming from pack aged smoked fish, that already has claimed six lives. All of the known supply in the United States of the anti - toxin for the rare "E" type of food poisoning has been brought into use and appeared to be effective in helping eight patients here in Nashville. The anti - toxin was flown here Tuesday by military jet plane from Bethesda, Md. A special commercial airline flight arrived early today with five pounds of the antidote from the Connaught Medical Center in Toronto, Ont. Doctors still have been .unable to make an ironclad diagnosis in the death here Monday of David Cohen, 35, and his 10 year - old daughter, Amy Beth. The same is true in the death of Nashville Sunday of Mrs. Anna Belle Phelps, 51, and on Sept. 30 of F. W. Pruter. 36. Mr. and Mrs. Chester Mitchell died last Thurs day in Kalamazoo, Mich. The victims all had one thing in common. They had eaten smoked fish from Michigan. Vandcrbilt Hospital officials in Nashville said Tuesday night that Eric Charles Dallon, 5, of Hunts ville. Ala., had been admitted to the hospital with apparent symp toms of botulism. Dr. Richard Cannon, hospital director, quoted the child s moth er as saying that Eric had eaten some of the suspected smoked whitcfish last Friday. Cannon said the mother said some of the symptoms had shown up Saturday and had grown prog ressively worse before he Vas brought to Vanderbilt. He said Eric was in a respira tor to help fight the paralyzing effect of the poison. Cannon said the boy's condition was listed as critical. accounts for five-sixths of tiiej earth's volume. The plan is to drill through the i crust where it is thinnest at the bottom of the ocean. In places! the crust under the sea is believed to be only 3 to ? miles thick, compared to !8 to 30 miles under the continents. . The drilling platform sill ride about 75 feet above She water on six vertical columns extending from twin hulls submerged to a depth of about 70 feet The science foundation got $5 million from Congress for Mohole work in the 1963 fiscal year ended June 30. It asked a $10 million increase for this year. The hope has been to complete the project in about four years from now. The big cut voted by the House committee would hurt the project a foundation spokesman said, and delay its completion by at least a year. He said the stretchout probably also would add to the total cost. COMPLETE TREE SERVICE BAKER'S LANDSCAPE NURSERY 200 So. th TU 2-5553 Mi SAVE!
