Flyer Who Recovered
From Mental Illness
Urges Research Bill
By Corter Brooke Jones

From young Marine flyer who
recovered from a mental illness at
st. Elizabeth's Hospital, Senate
subcommittee studying legislation
to provide Federal research in psy-
chiatry heard today a graphic first
hand account of the tragic need for
more experts to guide patients like
himself.
1t was not a sordid picture of
neglect that Capt. Robert Nystrom
painted for the Pepper Subcommit-
tee on Health and Education. On
the contrary, it was an encouraging
outlook he sketched, story of hope
rather than despair.
Capt. Nystrom, who flew in the
Paciflc-but not in combat, he
stressed-credited his recovery to
the skilled and patient analysis and
counsel of a team of four experts
at ST. Elizabeths.
And the one who did most for
him, he said, was not a doctor, but
an. unnamed chaplain, one of the
team which spent SO many hours
on his case. r--s
But there is only one such team
Of experts, consisting of psychiatrists
and social workers, in the entire
hospital, he told the subcommittee,
and there should be so such groups.
The hospital, he indicated, does the
best it can under the handicap
of insufficient medical and welfare
aides.
Volunteered to Testify.
Capt. Nystrom explained that he
had volunteered to testify in sup
port of the bill to set up national
neuropsychiatric hospital here and
to grant aid to the States for re-
search in the hope that his personal
experience would be helpful to the
subcommittee.
The young captain said he entered
the hospital September 5, 1945, and
by January 20 was recovered suffi-
ciently to leave. He now Is await
ing action of a retirement board
The diagnosis in his case was
manic Oppressive psychosis, he ex-
planned.
He found, he said, two radically
different types of treatment at the
hospital. One he called loafer's
delight" type Of treatment based
on platitude that time cures all
things" Patients appear to get we'll
under this regime of rest and being
let alone, but actually he questioned
whether many of them do. Ger
tainly, he said, this Information"
did not work in his case
Had Serious Relapse.
He had serious relapse, he re-
lated, and it was only when the
psychiatric team got hold of him
that he began to recover.
yet the do-nothing mode of
treatment was the predominant
treatment" he told the Senators.
OF 100 officer patients whom he
knew personally, Capt. Nystrom
said, only three besides himself re-
ceived the psychotherapeutic treat
ment he described. All responded.
The four persons who interviewed
him constantly during the period,
he said, exposed emotional disturb
ances reaching back in his life of
which he had not been aware and
enabled him to take stock of his
situation realistically and logically
He even was able to write out long
statements of his past emotions and
problems which were helpful to his
counselors and himself, he added.
Got Help in Five Weeks.

Thomas r. Sard, chief clerk and
deputy superintendent Of the Jail
testified under cross-examinatior
yesterday that the guard has beer
dismissed. In the hearing, which
resumes tomorrow before board 81
inquiry, Mr.. Gill is charged with
failure to impose disciplinary meas.
ures for juveniles.
Mr.. Sard previously had testified
that juveniles were not disciplined
for giving 'hot foot" or setting q
fire under a bed. Pressed by De.
fense Attorney John j. Wilson, hi

provisions prohibit that?" Mr.. vii.
son asked.
Objection Sustained.
The board of inquiry sustained ar
objection by Assistant Corporation
Counsel Chester H. Gray on the
ground the question called for 9
legal opinion.
Mr.. Sard said that after Mr.. Gill
was suspended on December 6 the
juveniles were transferred from
dormitories to prison Cells.
In reference to a charge that Mr.
Gill abandoned control cells fol

ing an effective substitute, the de.
fense attorney drew from the witness
a statement that criticism by officers

Of the control cells lowered discipline
Mr.. Sard recalled that one prisoner
was caught after he had dug a g.
inch hole in the tile wall of his con-
troll cell while another broke the
glass window with the handle of a
bucket. Mr.. Gill, he added, planned
to put visiting quarters in the base

Oral and Written Orders.
In line with the defense conten-
ton that Claude o. Botkin, Jail
superintendent, and not Mr.. Gill, was
for operation of the Jail,
Mr.. Sard said that he received his
orders from Mr.. Botkin.
A charge that Mr.. Gill issued oral
orders contrary to existing written
orders without resembling the written
orders was borne out by the testi-
mony of Jesse r. Knight, lieutenant
of the watch.
Mr.. Knight said Mr.. Gill told him
to exercise new prisoners in the yard,
although standing orders required
new prisoners to wait 30 days before
receiving yard privileges. In answer
to a question from Assistant Cor
poration rounsel Chester H. Gray,
he, said he never say any written
order changing the reAlation.

becea; once didst thou foil me, but

So saying, he seized on the ter
rified maiden, who filed the air
with her shrieks, and bore her out
of the room in his arms in spite
of her cries, and without regard
ing the menaces and defiance
which Ivanhoe Numbered against
MIN.
Il had not found thee, Wilfred,"
said the Black knight, who at
that instant entered the apart
sment, s'but for thy shouts"
If thou best true knight" said
.Wilfred, think not of me-pur-

bore him off with as much ease as
the Templar had carried off Re-
becca, rushed with him to the
postern, and having there deliv-
cred his burden to the care of two
yeomen, he again entered the
castle to assist in the rescue of
the other prisoners.
Rebecca, placed on horseback
before one of the Templar's Sara
cen: slaves, was in the midst of the
party; and Bois-Guilbert, not
withstanding the confusion of the
bloody fray, showed every atten-
ton to her safety.

plar. "We make for the Precep-

THE WISE MAN

Some of us may feel resentment
against Miami over the announcement in
The Citizen for Thursday that the fighter
planes at Boca Chica have been trans
ferred to that city, but such an attitude is
not tenable. If any blame is attached to
the transfer. it should be placed on Wash
ington, not Miami Miami welcomes any
thing that adds to her progress, as Key
West does, and to censure either because
it gets an industry from some other city
is ridiculous. because that other city would
welcome an industry from still another
city.
The planes' going to Miami affects
the economy of Key West no more than
if they had gone elsewhere. The main
thing about their going should be a re-
hinder to Key West that business condi-
tions here gradually will become worse.
With that fact in mind. we should be up
and-doing in trying to counterfeit its effect
as much as we possibly can, but, instead
of bending our efforts in that direction,
we are concerned more in uncertain I'M
dertaking that may prove fruitless, and,
therefore, use up much of our individual
savings that were accumulated during
the war.
Give some men few thousand dol
lars in cash, and it fills their heads with
chimerical ideas. They have SO many ideas
of that nature, all designed to gain the
plaudits of the community, they become
so involved in spreading out their money
they eventually find themselves in posi-
ton wherein they have no more money to
'.play" with, and what they have tied up
can be liquidated for only small part of
the total risked.
The late Ben Tink" Demeritt
observed. many a time, that, regardless of
how much money some people earn, their
fingers itch so much they are unable to
keep any of it.
1t is a wise man, indeed, who knows
how to conserve his earnings.

FEAR OF GERMANY

1t is explained that Secretary of State
James F. Byrnes proposed twenty-five
year agreement between the four big pow
ers to control Germany because the fear
of Germany continues extant throughout
Europe.
There is a general fear that the
United States will leave Europe to enforce
the peace terms and protect itself against
Germany, fear in Russia that the British
will try to build Germany up as bull
wark against Russia, fear in England
that the Russians might gain control of
Germany with a similar result and a strong
fear in France against revival of German
power. 5@"
Apparently, Mr.. Byrnes believes that
If the United States makes plain its deter
mination to see that the Germans do not
involve Europe in another war, there will
be willingness on the part of the nations
Ito agree upon matters in dispute. This is
based on the belief that fear of future
German power makes them ask for meas
ures and territory designed to afford pro-
lection.

MEANWHILE the Black Knight

The portal, which led from the.

forming slippery and precarious
