Twenty-six of tho 72 actually were returned and 25 of tl»e 26 became self-supporting and otherwise gave the world no trouble. The reporting scientists noted that if they hadn't the opportunity to J work closely with the inmates, they might have stayed in the hospital “indefinitely.” As for the 29 others of the 55: They had been in the hospital for so long they had no “motivation’' for giving up its security for the uncertainties of the outside. In other words, they were doing all right where they were, and didn’t want to take chances. Facilities are Inadequate The report of Drs. Frederick Phillips and Sophia Belle May of Spring Grove State Hospital. Baltimore, Md., to - the American

Psychiatric Association dramatized the contention of all mental scientists that American public facilities for treating the mentally ill are extremely inadequate. The 72 chronic mental patients in the study were all well enough to be employed in various jobs around the hospital. They were transferred from wards to a convalescent cottage on the grounds. The original idea was to get in-mate-workers under one roof in order to study the hospital’s work program. But this was quickly broadened into a study of the patients themselves and efforts to make them more “socially active" with the view of discharging them. Os the 72 men, over half had been in the hospital longer than 10 years and 71 per cent had been in longer than five. Their ages ranged from 18 to Cl but 47 per cent were over 50. Lack of Details One of the first developments was the lack of detailed hospital recoßis of those chronic patients. The charts of 26 of them had not been taken from the files of the central record room in three years. “The longer the patient was in the hospital, the less likely was the staff to know much about him,’’ the scientists reported. They reported that the ’implications” of this were "startling." “Fifty-five of 72 patients, or 76 per cent, no longer required hospitalization.” they said, and then remarked: "llow much more could existing hospital facilities achieve for the 24 per cent still requiring hospitalization if time and energy were not expended on the other 76 per cent?" Traffic Death Toll Four Over Weekend Indianapolis — w — Indiana’s weekend traffic death toll reached four with a belated report of the death of Mrs. Sarah E. Carmichael, Terre Haute, who was struck by an automobile Saturday night. The toll was the lowest of any, weekend in recent weeks and spurred Indiana safety experts to hope that the state’s 1,000 traffic fatally of 1957 might be delayed beyond Thanksgiving. The I,oooth death was recorded last year on Nov. 13. Trade in a good town — Decatur

Moscow Radio Renews Attack Against Turkey Cairo Radio Hints Assassination Os Hussein A Solution By WALTER LOGAN United Press Staff Correspondent Cairo Radio hinted today that the assassination of King Hussein of Jordan would be a fitting end to what it called "those who betray the Arab cguse.” Moscow Radio renewed its attacks against *Turkey, and Syria listed a new series of alleged violations of Syrian territory by Turkish war planes. The Cairo Radio broadcast—which brought sharp retorts and insults from Jordan—was almost an open appeal to. the Arabs to kill the young ruler for alleged efforts to reach a peace agreement with Israel. The broadcast observed that King Hussein’s grandfather, King Abdullah, was assassinated in 1951 after he opened negotiations with Israel for an end to the ArabIsraeli war. . And without using the actual word "assassination” Cairo Radio left no doubt it considered this the proper answer to Hussein’s efforts to “commit the same crime of his grandfather.” “The Jordan people -had the right...answer for this in Abdullah’s case,” Cairo said, "and there is no doubt the Jprdari people are stronger and more conscious of their responsibilities today than ever before.” Both Israel and Jordan have denied officially the Egyptian reports they were negotiating a peace treaty. Today the Amman and Jerusalem, Jordan, radios added to the reply by heaping insults on Egypt and on President Gamal Abdel Nasser. The Jordan! commentary began by accusing communism of launching an attack on Jordan through their main agent, "Egypt’s Little Colonel” and ended by attacking Nasser as a "slave of Moscow.” Moscow Radio’s new attack on Turkey came as a surprise in view of Nikita S. Khrushchev’s indications last week the Soviet had decided to drop its propaganda war against the Turks. Russia said American-Tulkish ’danger still threatens Syria” and ’that* h^mdrbds'Of itanka and <ttns were heading .toward, villages on the border.- It ‘ said the Syrian question still remained on the U.N. General Assembly agenda and added "this is not by chance."

Priceless Relic Os Lincoln To Engraver Photo Included In New Lincoln Book STILLWATER, Okla. (UP) — A Stillwater photoengraver’s interest in the Civil War and photography led him to possession of a photo of Abraham Lincoln acknowledged today as a priceless relic. _The owner, Robert E. Cunningham, alsoownsthe piate'' , from which the picture made. ■ • • »■„- The photo is included in a new book published by the University of Oklahoma at Norman, entitled “Indian Territory: A Frontier Photographic Record.” In it Cunningham traced the work of W.S. Prettyman, an adventurous photographer. ■ - Ralph Newman, a Lincoln authority and owner of the Abraham Lincoln bookstore in Chicago, spotted the photo in the book and declared, “It is a remarkable, completely new photograph of Lincoln.” Newman said he checked the 130 known pictures of the Civil War president ’and found “to my satisfaction it was new.” He said it was taken in about 1864. Cunningham believes it was made by I.H. Bonsall, a Civil War photographer, whose plates were handed down to his apprentice, Prettyman. The plates were preserved by George B. Cornish, an early-day Oklahoma photographer, and were later acquired by Cunningham. ______ BOARD (Continued irom Page On el sion (A the'AFL-CIO Brotherhood of Railway and Steamship Clerks authorized the calling of a strike by 600 workers, some of whom are employed at the range. —Scientists kept a close watch to see if there was any sign Russia had launched an unmanned rocket at the moon as part of Thursday's 40th anniversary celebration of the Bolshevik revolution. » SOVIET (’Continued from Page On*) _ of State Cmdr. Allan Noble said it was a “discouraging development.” Canadian Delegate Wallace Nesbitt said Canada was ■shocked and disappointed at this Russian ultimatum.” Fear Weakening Western delegates feared that the Soviet maneuver, backed up by recent Soviet technological developments, would weaken support from other U.N members for the Western resolution. The West has banked on a heavy vote in favor of its disarmament proposals to persuade Russia, by the force of world opinion, to go along with them. “The Soviet government considers that all attempts to make use of the disarmament subcommittee for productive work have been entirely exhausted,” Kuznetsov said.

“Under these conditions, the Soviet government does not see any sense in further participation in the work of the Disarmament Commission and its subcommittee. Proceeding from this, the Soviet government declares that it will not participate in the U.N. Disarmament Commission and its subcommittee »- in their present composition.”

Scott died about two hours after the accident in Indianapolis Methodist Hospital. Critical Period In Egyptian Relations Key Seen Agreement To Pay Compensation CAIRO (ffl — The next two weeks may provide a critical turning point, for better or for worse, in relations between Egypt and the United States, western diplomatic sources said today. The sources, not Americans, said the United States may be able to turn the tide of its relations with all the “neutral” Arab nations despite the latest psychological victory the Soviet Union scored Vith Sputnik 11. The key lies in an agreement on compensation by Egypt to shareholders of the private company that ran the Suez Canal before Egypt nationalized it last year. Talks on this are known to be going on through U. N. Secretary General Dag Hammarskjold. And there are strong reports here that World Bank President Eugene Black is coming to Cairo soon to talk to President Gamal Abdel Nasser, presumably about the settlement of that issue and the future development of the canal. , Agreement on canal compensation would clear the way for the unblocking of Egyptian government funds in the United States, now about $2, Western diplomatic sources believe it would clear the atmosphere of some of the present bitterness and offer both sides a new chance .to pMf* upthard feelings.

fHA Moves To Cut Processing Time FHA Commissioner Speaks To Realtors CHICAGO — Federal Housing Administration Commissioner Norman P. Mason said Monday night the FHA has taken steps to reduce processing time, cited as one of the main problems of FHA insuring offices. Mason said the organization is adding per diem appraisers, authorizing overtime, and shifting office personnel to speed up processing time. Mason told the 50th annual convention of the National Association of Real Estate Boards the FHA needs a more flexible bud- , get, directly related to the current volume of business. Lenders can help cut down on processing time, he said, by forwarding applications promptly and completing them in all respects. Unsound housing. financing practices may be encouraged by an insufficient supply of mortgage money, Mason said, urging: “Let's work together to see that yesterday’s mistakes are not made all over again today.” In sessions today, realtors were told they can improve their sales through television advertising and by writing ads with emotional appeal. Big Corn Crib Is Destroyed By Fire COLUMBUS (W — A 30-foot-tall corn crib described as one of the biggest in Bartholomew County was destroyed by fire today with a loss estimated at $23,000. Homer and John Glick, on whose farm near St. Louis Crossing the fire occurred, said 9,000 bushels of corn were in the crib, a 20 by 60 foot structure built only recently. The Glicks said the fire apparently started when a gas burner used for drying corn fell apart. Carry the cross patiently, and with perfect submission, and in the end it shall carry you. — Thomas A.
