Senate Undecided Final Disposition Statehood Bills

WASHINGTON, (P)-The Sen ate took a breather today, still undecided whether to battle next over Hawaiian statehood, the title of submerged oil lands, or, pos sibly, reconsideration of the side tracked Alaska statehood issue.
 When it recessed last night un- til Monday, it hadn't agreed even on when it would decide.
 Senator Knowland R-Calif) urged commitment on time for the vote. He said the people of Hawaii have been promised that their statehood bill would be con- sidered immediately after the Alaska statehood bill.
 Tempers flared frequently dur ing long arguments on the tangled situation yesterday.
 Majority leader Mcfarland O- Ariz) said he was ready for vote any time on his motion to consider the tidelands bills first. But he added that with several senators sick today he knew it would be impossible to reach an agreement on when to vote.
 Knowland countered with a statement that 500.000 people in Hawaii and 128,O00 in Alaska probably also are ca little sick" today in view of the Senate's ac- ton in shelving the Alaska state hood bill by sending it back to committee.
 A possibility still remained that a motion to reconsider the Alaska vote will be made in the Senate Monday. Under the rules, only a senator who voted for recommit- tai or one of the seven who did not vote could make the reconsid- eration motion.

Get 'lcepick Surgery

SPENCER. w. Va, Aug. A.
Thirty-five women patients al

underwent "icepick surgery" over
the week end and 1s of them were
back home with their families to-
day.
"Icepick surgery" is a TRANSCRIPT
tai lobotomy that sewers a nerve
leading to that portion of the
brain that causes anxiety and
worry. An instrument resembling
an icepick is inserted under the
eye]ids into the brain and is the
only instrument used.
Not Necessarily Cured.
The patients are not necessarily
cured. said DR.. Walter A. Freeman,
Washington, D. c., brain special
ist who performed the operations.
But he believes their chances of
returning to useful lives are better
than ever before.
CDR. Freeman, a pioneer in
developing brain operations to
treat mental illness, is professor
of neurology at George WASH
ington University. His home
here is at 450l Linnean avenue
NV, and his Office is at 2014

DR.. Freeman said the patients
would be docile. child-like persons
l-indolent. tackless and without a
sense of responsibility.
"The patients have lost that
painful self-consciousness," he
added. Nov they're pleasant and
agreeable"

The surgery is effective only
In certain types of mental dis.
orders. and is used on patients
who are heavily depressed or who
have a tendency toward violence
DR.. Freeman said the change
from an attitude of fear and hate
to one of friendliness and relaxa-
ton is really remarkable.
The icepick surgery is not uni

specialists. Operations in the
West Virginia hospitals were per-
formed only with the written
consent Of the nearest relative or
guardian. Three patients who
were operated on died.
