Mercy Killing Plea
BY ALBERT KAUFMAN
Times stan Correspondent

LANSING, June 16.-GovernoI
Van Wagner declared today he is
opposed TO mercy killing and
asserted that more progress has
been made with the states mental
illness problem during the last Is
months thar at any other time ir
Michigan history.
Replying TO a letter written by
Arthur f. Moore. Oakland County
probate judge, calling attention tc
the lack of hospital facilities fol-
predetermined persons, the COVER
nor said:
THE only conclusion I can
draw from your letter In that
you are seeking In an emphatic
manner TO call public attention
to the long standing failure of
Michigan to meet I'm full the
, mental Illness problem.
I'm my opinion you have left
solid ground when you suggest
that The state seriously consider
mercy killing scientifically
known as euthanasia.
UNJUSTIFIED INVASION
cit In an unjustified invasion
Of the right Of innocent persons
to live, and can lead only TO the
most serious of excuses when
once started.
$50 far rs the legal aspect Is
concerned, Michigan's basic laws
would not permit mercy killing;
In fact, as you know, we do not
even permit capital punishment
Mt present except In cases of
treason"
The governor pointed out tina
the state, for the first time, ha'
an accelerated mental rehabilita
ton program in force, aimed a
curing and releasing patients wh'
formerly were regarded as perma
inent wards of the state.
I'm the last Is months we
have opened all the mental
wards built under Governor
Murphy and formerly kept idle"
Van Wagner said, "the pro-
gram made facilities available
for 1000 new patients"
FUNDS CAN'T BE USED
"Only war priorities have
halted n further building pro-
gram, which admittedly Is
needed badly. Funds already
appropriated can not be spent
for that purpose.
Another approach to relieve
overcrowding and permit more
space has been our innovation
Of a new boarding-out program

To Make Ihioko|

WASHINGTON, June 16 (INSJ4

disclosed today that priorities
have been granted to the Dow
Chemical Company of Midland.
Mich, for construction Of plant
to produce thiokol, a synthetic
rubber suitable for tires driven at
from speeds of 80 to 40 miles an

enough thiokol to retread approx.
tmately 100000 tires annually.
The limiting factor In thiokoI
production, he explained. Is the
basic ingredient ethylene dichlo-
ride, since chlorine is in demand
for other vital war purposes. It's
