CLINIC OPENED HERE TO ADVISE MENTAL CASES Care for Border Insane Is e?ade Possible by Mary Young Will. Between 20 to 30 per cent of the employes In Industry are psychologically maladjusted, Dr. J. L. Rosenstein, consulting psychologist for Ell Lilly & Cos., and director of the recently established Mary H. Young human relations clinic, said today. "Some of these have serious mental disturbances,” he said. “Others are Just enough removed from what we call the normal to have their efficiency impaired. “Keeping mental health in our civilization is a serious problem. More of our hospital beds are filled with people suffering from ills of the mind than are occupied by sufferers from all the the physical diseases known to science.” Work Not to Be Hurried To help husbands and wives who can't get along, and to cure people of feelings of inferiority and inadequacy. a mental health clinic was opened yesterday at Butler University, Dr. Roscnstein revealed. “We plan to proceed slowly at first until we are sure in what direction our greatest work lies. Although we are interested in children's cases most of the emphasis is to be placed or. adult problems.” he said. This mental school, made possible through the will of Dr. Mary H. Young, is to function in the field of psychological readjustment for which no other agency is available in the state. Deplores Lack of Clinics Tn speaking of this lack of state clinics, Dr. Rosenstein said: “It is on this point that we quarrel with politicians. They pass laws forcing young people to study history, mathematics, science and language, and completely ignore in school study programs the most important individual problem of all—mental hygiene. "We are using psycho-therapeutic methods in our clinic. Psychoanalysis does just what the word implies, It anal.vzses, while psychotherapy attempts to correct. "After we discover what the individual’s problems are in private individual conferences, we show them to him and teach him to handle, not run away from them. What people tell us in these private sessions is held in strictest confidence.” Co-Operation Is Sought Explaining that insanity is merely a matter of degree, Dr. Rosenstein said that all symptoms found in insane persons also are found in normal people. In the insane these tendencies and symptoms are exaggerated. The personality is out of proportion, he said. “We feel that by mental adjustments we are able to save many homes,” he said. “Out of a considerable number of cases that have come to my attention, I can honestly say that only two have resulted in failures. Once we get at the source of the trouble, we are able to lift a great load off the sufferer’s mind." Social, medical and educational agencies of the city, as well as the clergy, have been invited to lefer cases to the clinic for consultation. Since the clinic is privately endowed, there will be no specific charge for services rendered, but it is not a charity agency. People who can afford to pay can make contributions of any amount. Staff Members Are Listed Members of the staff include Dr. Rosenstein, director; Dean W. L. Richardson. Dr. A. B. Carlile, Dr. I. T. Shultz. Prof. C. H. Walters and Miss Louise Hays Block, who will be clinic assistant. Dr. Rosenstein has been a member of the Butler staff since 1932. He is a graduate of Lafayette College, received his master's degree at the University of Pennsylvania in psychology and his doctorate in the same subject at Indiana University. A member of the American Psychological Association, he also is the author of a recently published book, “Psychology of Human Relations for Executives.”

BURIED ALIVE FOR TEN DAYS " Fantastic Dreams Are Described by Dr. Robertson

In yenterday't chapter nf Dr. D. E. Rnhertaon'i Intense narrative if the nine entombment In Nora Seotia, he described with what feelings of Joy they (reeled the communication tube which pierced through to their tomb in the bowels of the earth, and brought them /ieir priced possession—a tiny ielephnne which enabled them to talk to their fellow men in the outside, world. BY DR. D. E. ROBERTSON JJALIFAX, N. S., May 5. —After receiving the telephone, we made no further effort to follow time by Alf’s watch. We had a fine feeling of security in our telephone, and it was nice to have an excuse to ask the ground crew every sort of question. We were entirely at sea as to what method was being employed to reach us. Alf and Magill had been firm in their belief that the rational approach was through an old shaft they had shown me on my first visit to the mine, and which they told me led to the workings of the Archibald lead at the 70-foot level. Prior to Magill’s death, they had threatened to leave our position to make an attempt to find their way up to this level and then beat upon the wall, hoping they would be heard. Alf, I felt, after Magill had gone, was reserving his final effort, husbanding his strength and energy for his last desperate attempt at extrication. Our one-way telephone would not permit us to get the entire plans of the ground crew. The great point that was always before us was that we could be reached, but what about the last foot or so? Would they have to shoot through the hanging wall, and if so would a shock such as this cause the collapse of the whole vault of the shaft just above us? bbb THE telephone brought us definite promise of delivery. We were amazed when we were told that we would be rescued within six or 10 hours. It had the effect of buoying us up and making us feel that the situation was not too bad, for if we could look forward to delivery within 12 hours we would be out of this in very good physical shape. It also led us to preserve our strength and made us content to lie quiet, conserving what little light we had, as we had got down to about half of one candle. The matches which had been sent to us I had put in a little glass vial, and candle and matches I carried in my innermost pocket. When occasion demanded, we lighted the candle for the few moments necessary. In this wise we passed the last two or three days. It is impossible for me to recall or differentiate the days, excepting that throughout the whole time Alf suffered miseries from the numbness of his legs and from his arthritic pains. He seemed to me to sleep well, at intervals, and I believe that he thought I slept very well. At a!l events we should know how each other slept, since we lay with our arms around each other. These periods of sleep were very distressing; we would doze and begin to mutter in a dream

conversation. A companion would rouse and ask what had been said. The sleeper would have to waken up and say, “I was talking in my sleep.” After an occasion such as this I heard Alf tell them over the telephone that “the doctor was getting delirious.” BUB IT surprised me to hear him say this, and I gave the matter a great deal of thought. I had told these men that if death came to them, I did not think it would be uncomfortable, because it would come to a mentality so below normal that they need not fear an acute realization of it. It turned out in Magill’s case that his dreadful anguish and suffering lasted from the time of the collapse of the shaft until six hours after the onset of pneumonia, following which his memory and his realization of the situation did not exist. So when I heard Alf tell somebody I was getting delirious I took stock. After mature consideration. I decided I was not delirious, but I thought I had better seize the. opportunity to talk to Mrs. Robertson while I was still compos mentis. I therefore called my brother-in-law, Charlie Ivey, and had him get my wife for me. I expected at this time that I would be rescued, and so we went on from hour to hour, doing the minimum in the way of physical exertion, drinking the water that we had so abundantly within our reach, and wondering about the method of approach. On two occasions Alf, who knew the mine and its workings like a book, seized the telephone and

The Late Herman Magill

undertook to direct the rescue, calling for Henderson. He ordered the placing of men above, with instructions to have the drill put at certain spots where they were working the shaft, in order that we might listen below and from the intensity of the sounds tell them when they were closest to us. This experiment did not prove of any real value. B B B SUDDENLY, one afternoon, we got the idea that someone was working not far away. It was not the sound of steel on steel, it was not the sound of timbering, and

it was not like any sledging of soft rock; it was intermittent and with it was the sound of people moving around. One had the idea that there were voices at times, but it was all very indefinite. One would go off to sleep to experience more of these wretched dreams. In my particular case they seemed to take on a characteristic feature. The return to consciousness from a dream always had to do with chilling, I would fancy myself in a warm, beautifully lighted, luxurious environment, and reach out to take something luscious and attractive, when I would feel the atmosphere grow very cold, and immediately all the luxury would fade. I would open my eyes upon the blackness of the cavern, and my ears to the dripping and running of water in the mine. The sounds in our immediate locality began to increase, and we had not yet been able to determine for ourselves, or find from the crews, the method by which our rescue was being accomplished. One important thing we must determine—that if the final maneuver was to be a shot to blast through to us, then we must know beforehand and take ourselves off to a position where we would be secure from such blasting. If they were going to use a final blast we must warn them beforehand, too, that we were retiring to another position where we could be looked for in case the passage was cut off in the final blasting. This was our only anxiety in regard to blasting. a a a THEY made it quite obvious to us on the next to the last day that they were not going to

blast. We therefore were very much eased of mind on this score, so when the sounds of movement —the exact locality of which we could not be sure—increased, we were very happy. These movements got to the degree Vhere we would have the impression that a man was moving in the next room. One afternoon we could hear a shout, which I answered. We shouted back and forth a few times but nothing came of it. It was very much like the mining which was done during the w r ar, when one could hear movement in another mine being pushed out from the enemy side. Only in this instance, as it went, we could hear the men talking. There was some scuffing of pipes, which we answered by pounding on the pipes, and we knew definitely that the men were in contact with the pipes coming down the east side of the shaft, which pipes lay just to the west of us at our feet and up in the wall of our domicile. About this time inquiries through Charlie Ivey confirmed our wildest expectations that relief was imminent. However, the actual event was very much closer than either Alf or I would allow ourselves to believe. In the next chapter of Dr. Robertson’s narrative, he reaches the climax for which a week ago the whole world breathlessly waited—the arrival of the courageous draegermen.

FIGHT AGAINST RAYBURN HOLDS U. S. SPOTLIGHT Business Groups Oppose Veteran, Sponsor of New Deal Laws. By Scripps-H oicarrl Xetctpaprr Alliance WASHINGTON, May s.—Next to the presidential election, the primary in Texas’ Fourth District is likely to prove one of the most significant political events of the year. Business interests want to defeat Rep. Sam Rayburn, who has

represented thai district for 23 years, and make an example of him. As chairman of the House Interstate Commerce Committee, Rep. Rayburn sponsored the Securities Act of 1933. the Securities Exchange Commission Act. the Holding Company Act and the Communications Act. Unlike some chairmen handling New Deal measures, he made a vigorous fight for these bills and pushed them through Congress in substantially the form desired by President Roosevelt. Asa result. Rayburn’s opposition this year is plentifully financed and there are evidences that every possible means will be used to defeat him. His opponent is a printer. The primary takes place the last week of July. Rep. Rayburn came tn Congress in 1913 and before that ’*ad been Speaker of the Texas Legislature. He is his party's choice for temporary chairman of the Democratic state convention to be held thi month.
