Psyehlstrists and physicians
from all over the nation We're
readyinE Friday to conclude final
sessions Of q two-week institute
held a. the Western state Hos
pital a. Steilaeoom after a series
OF lectures and demonstrations
presented BY 1s eminent scientists

medical sciences for the Rookie
feller foundation. which IN turn
has financed the institute at
tended from New York 70 address
a banquet group.
Deserve Praise
General practitioners so-ealled
County Doctors were lauded
by DR.. Gregg. who pointed out
that specialists Of recent years
have shown a tendency to lose
track Of their patients as human
beings
The psychiatrist is increasing
in importance in medicine because
he Is Obliged 10 consider the
whole aspect Of the patient
and must weigh the physical, So
cial. family and business relation
ships =. because mental ailments
usually affect the total behavior
and social adjustments Of a person.
Correction Needed
The psychiatrist must correct
the too scientific swing medicine
has taken -. with the result that
many specialists have been too
preoccupied with advances IN their
special fields. This criticism,
however, does not apply to general
practitioners"
In speaking of the relationship
of environment to character, Or.
Gregg said Society at present IS
on an intense competitive basis,
and its members often feel des-
perate about their inadequacies
They are so ashamed they carry
their loads alone. Most people
have no idea how widespread Is
the secret feeling of inadequacy
IN every one else
Or. Gregg said he was both
surprised and impressed with the
progressive strides made at West
ern State hospital during the last
half-dozen years, and that al
though the institution is doing a
good job" much remains to be
done both preventive and curative
treatment of the mentally sick IN
the nations hospitals despite great
advances made during the past 10
years,
As Many A. 500
Included IN the group which
heard Or. Gregg were numerous
educators and social workers Of
the state, IN addition to the i'm
pressive roster of medical men.
As many as 800 persons and more
have attended single session
during the institute.
The two-week conclave here is
the fourth such meet conducted
under auspices of the Rockefeller
foundation, two more are planned
+ for l943.
The institute at Western States
hospital, adJudsed to be the best
and most satisfactory held so far,
Will be concluded Saturday.

ONE PRIORITY THAT HURT

(GrantS Pass, Oregon, Courier)
\ remarkable and significant story
comes from Portland. about lumber.
Il, story is that governmental priority
orders against construction Of homes has
suddenly upset the lumber market.
With the market for lumber upset, the
mills are being clogged with home-build-
Ing grades Of material.
Unless tn" mills can move out this ma
tefia they cant 90 ON cutting the special
sections of the logs that the Army wants
for beams and timberS.
80 two Oregon mills have already cut
Go"n from .jNr-day to tWo-day opera
tion.
Thus the governments orders to cur
tail certain home-building in order to
speed Army materials, has resulted i'll
the curtailmcnt Of the military construc-
tion program itself,
This i a situation which can be multi
piled cndIcS~lN. in every other defense
material a we'll as lumber, unless the
alI-knnWi0g ONES Of our government eX-
hibt excellent Use Of uper-intelligence in
the matter Of their priorities arrange
ments.
Anyone who even glances at the news
reports knows that the brand of intelli-
eenco represented is frequently far from
"=upcr'
We do not feel it will do any good to
try to keep mistakes in the priorities ar
rangcmcnts hidden.

If VICKY GOES
OVER TO HITLER

Should the United States seize French
possessions in the Western Hemisphere II
the Vichy government finally admits com
plete subservience to Adolf llitler's Ger
many?
The question is one which may grow
more and more persistent as the French
regime gets closer to the status Of a Vas
sal state-and it is not very far from
that status right now.
Seizure of French possessions by the
United States, as such. would meet 4
great deal of opposition in this country
itself. There are many who would cal
it swing toward imperialism. others who
would describe it as the rankeSt kind q
aggression. We believe it would be neith-
err we believe it would he step fully
justified in the interests of American
national defense.
Such French territories rs Guiana III
South America. and the island of Martin
ique, would provide ideal bases from
which Axis enemies could operate against
this country. Additionally. they would
provide = probably are providing even
now-ports of embarkation for Axis YES
sells smuggling vital goods through the
British blockade Three territories under
control of the Axis, would be a graVe
menace to the security of this hemisphere.
They could be used for military and naval
bases, and for espionage and sabotage
headquarters Their existence in such
conditions should not be tolerated.
Such reasoning however. brings us
directly back to the question: should the
United States government seize the ter
rtories?
Perhaps, but it seems to us there is a
very much simpler method which could be
followed, and which would forestall any
possible TRADES in this country against
"aggression'' and any possible forebod
ing among our Latin American neigh
bors in South America about Yankee
Imperialism
Let the Free French take over the ter
ritories, with American help. Lend them
all the troops. all the arms. all the ships
they need to do the job-but when it has
been done, let the territory still be held
by Frenchmen-but Frenchmen who are
allied against Hitler. instead of with him.
After that. we can make whatever az
rangements are desirable for naval or
military bases on the French territory
but we shall be free in international eyes
of aggression to seize the territory of an
other nation

HoIIywoods Fads, Fancies and FoibIes

He once old me that when he
was a boy he resented the drab-
ness of the family bathtub at
Washington d. c. He noticed, too,
that the bathroom was the least
preposscssing room in evcrybody'S
house. This old grudge against
bathrooms Smoldered until finally
in Hollywood he decided to do
something about it.
He began TO "glorify' the bath
room in a series of highly success
full luxury pictures. Mitchell
LeiSen. now a director but my pre-
deCeSSor as his art director was
called upon to carry out most OF
his ideaS-Roman plungeS Strewn
with rose petals. tubs of black mar
bic, complete walls of glass, marine
muralS. gold fixtures and bubble
baths. Mitch said he thought De
Miles Imagination would bank,
rupt the company
But the Old Master draped the
sets with stratcgically undraped
glamor girls, and the effect upon
the country was electric. Suddenly
everybody wanted bathrooms like
these. And today the plumbing in
dustry credits De Mile with eS-
tablishing the modern bathroom as
a national institution.
You can't help admiring the way
he does th1ngs. During North
West Mounted Police. it had been
planned to take the entire company
on location to the Rocky Noun
tains for single sequence of the
picture. Somebody pointed out the
cost of this would be tremendous.
