Juneau Mental Health Assn. Petitions President For Passage of Legislation

JUNEAU, LR-Thirty-five mem bers of the Juneau Mental Health Association have wired a petition to President Eisenhower for prompt hospital care, instead of jail, for Alaska's insane, and men tally ill.
 The Alaska Mental Health bill, they fear, is doomed to death in a congressional committee pigeon hole. Dr. C. E. AIbrecht, Alaska Commissioner of Health, made a trip to Washington several weeks ago in behalf of the bill.
 The measure will substitute hos pital treatment and doctors care for the present federal system of jail detention and police custody for Alaskan when they first be- come metal patients - even on application by themselfes or their families.

9th Army Mounts Biggest Offensive In Over Two Years

SEOOL, H] - 1eTC6ly counter attacking Allied infantrymen - perhaps including Americans - whittled down Red gains of up to seven miles on the flaming cen- tral front today in what Gen. Maxwell D. Taylor called 'the first resumption of open warfare in two years"
 Later reports cleared by cen sors said South Korean soldiers hit an overran about 1,5O0 Chi nese Reds in the Kumsong River Valley.
 Taylor, US. 9th Army com- mander, disclosed that the Chinese Reds massive 1O-division offen- sive this week-mightiest in two years-flattened the Allies Kum- song bulge. This meant a LIN. withdrawal of up to seven miles and total Red gains of up to 60 square miles.
 The 9th American Corps and End Korean Corps were identified as manning the Kumsong River line-the first disclosure that US. infantrymen were in the area hit by the giant Red push.
 Taylor said the front was stab ilized generally along an east west line at the base of the for mer salient" - where the Allies held a seven mile northward bulge as a result of gains 20 months ago.
 Dispatches cleared by censors meanwhile told of successful South Korean counterattacks at both sides of the front, backed by sWarms of American and Allied warplanes and thunderous artil- lery.
 Associated Press correspondent Forrest Edwards called the Kum- song counterattack the biggest Allied advance since late autumn, 1851.
 Taylor said LIN. units recover ed rapidly from blows of the Chinese offensive, which he esti- mated at a strength of 10 divi- sions-8O,OOO to 100000 troops.
 Commanders have regrouped their units and have pressed back to contact with the enemy, in the first resumption of open warfare in nearly two years," he said.

Good Morning Judge
News and Views from Miami's Municipal Negro Court
JUDGE l. E. THOMAS, PRESIDING
By ELLIOTT j. PIEZE Times Staff Writer

A collection Of 10 cases includ-
ing wide variety Of offenSes was
listed for trial in Judge L. E.
Thomas Municipal Court last
Monday morning. While not ex-
actly a record breaking session
for Monday morning, it never
theless, held its own among great
meetings of the local court. At
exactly los pm. the final case
was disposed of. and the session
was adjourned for the day.
AS is always the case in a ses-
sion where more than 100 cases
are heard, highlights were "dime
dozen" from beginning to end.
Among Che highnghts of the
day was the case of Charles
Lowe, VINO was charged with
reckless and careless operation
Of motor vehicle. According to
testimony as presented by Officer
V. Butler. VINO made the arrest.
Lowe was driving a car at a very
high rate Of speed, Sunday morn
ing on NV. 10th st., between. 3rd
and 4th ayes. He was zig zagg-
ing from one side Of the street to
the other and In SO doing almost
side-swiped q truck parked ON
the side i'm the middle Of the
block. according to Butler. The
officer explained further that
upon stopping and arresting
Lowe, he smelled the odor Of in
toxicating beverages on his
breath. Lowe took a drunko-
meter test, but the test showed
him to- be two points under the
minimum reading for a drunk
person. He was not charged with
being drunk. Butler also said that
he found a large knife in loves
pocket upon frisking him. Lowe
was also charged with carrying
concealed weapon.
In his defense, Lowe had very
little to say, except that he did
not realize that he was driving
as fast as he was, and that he
was not drunk. Following his
usual warning. Judge Thomas
fined Lowe $50 or 20 days On the
reckless driving charge, and gave
him a suspended sentence on the
weapon charge.
Another hearing which captur-
ed considerable amount OF at
tention in the courtroom was the
case Of Tommy Smith, who was
charged with disorderly conduct,
sleeping on private property and
with vagrancy. According to
Smith, who said his home Is IN
Cape Cod. Mass, ne had just ar
rived in Miami by plane, from
hls home city. He was complete
ly broke, except for SO cents and
was therefore unable to rent
room. 1t was his first time In MI
ami. and along with another man.
who he met shortly after his ar
rival. he was sleeping In an old
car, parked near Third ave: on
14th st., at 8 am. Last Friday.
But he insisted that he was doing
no harm and creating no distur-
bance.
Smiths story rang somewhat
true in parts, but the claim that
he had Just arrived in Miami by
plane from Massachusetts, and
was completely broke except for
so cents, did not take so well
with the judge. Following series
of routine questions, Judge
Thomas sentenced Smith to 80
days in jail
Among other cases heard ana
disposed of were the following:

5000 acres, 1000 were rich
lands. The area that now COM

a reservoir for flowing the rice
fields, and was in use as early
as 1850.
The property was originally
settled by Sir Alexander Nesbit
of Dean, a Scotch baronet who
came to this country early in
the century.
In 1928. Mr.. Kittredge began
to build the present garden and
to landscape this reservoir and

| Housing Brokers Told
To Offer Quality and

BY the A.soeio.ed Press

MIAMI BEACH, Fla, Nov. 13.
The housing brokers of Amer
lea were told today they can
market million new dwellings
next year. but they're going to
have to offer quality. novelty
and price"
Miles L. 'Colean. Washington
consulting economist, told the
Mortgage Bankers Association of
America at its closing conven-
ton session: "A hard selling Job
has to be done. because there
will always be plenty of compe-
tition for the prospective home
buyers dollar.
"And the sales effort will have
to be backed up with something
that the public will be eager
to buy and can afford to buy.
THE basis for a good housing
year will be present in continued
desire for better things. Stimu-
lus to demand will be present
in lower taxes, easier money,
and, we can hope, some impor-
tant improvements in the facil;-
ties and procedures Of the Gov
ernment's mortgage insurance
and credit agencies.

DR.. Raymond Rodgers. profess
sor of finance at New York State

yesterday from Ralph D. Paine,

WOODBRIDGE, N. j.. Nov.
13.-Are British Jets about to
replace conventional American
engines in the airliners Of the
future?
One of the oldest manufac-
turers on this side of the Allan
tic has staked millions in new
production facilities here on the
conviction that this cannot pos
sibly occur for the next 10 or
IS years.
The Curtiss- Wright Corp. to-
day unveiled a semiauthomatic
assembly line now beginning to
turn out 3500-horsepower turbo-
compound piston engines for
commercial transports.
Roy T. Hurley. chairman and
president of the corporation, told
e visiting writer's that the new
engines have enabled domestic
carriers to schedule regular. nom
stop. coast-to-coaSt service. In
addition, new airliners can fly
routine. non stop schedules
across the Atlantic without rely
ing upon alternate stops around
the northern rim of the ocean.
The initial production of the
big compound engine has been
absorbed for several years by
the military for use in bombers,
troop carriers and military fore
runners of two new luxury liners.

ton. and the Douglas DC-7.
The new highly mechanical
assembly line, Mr. Hurley said.
can turn out the power plants
IN less than half the time re-

that % airlines throughout the
world have ordered the engines.
The compound engine utilizes
the exhaust gases from the pis-
ton cylinders to spin three tur-

connected with the propeller
shaft to boost the power output
The engine had at least four
years of military use before 1t

Dope Addicts Helped
by Shock Treatment,
) Doctors Report
BY the Assoeiosed Press

CHICAGO. Nov. 13.- Three
Georgia doctors described today
how they used electric-shock
treatments to help break the
dope craving in "a addicts and
to spare them all the body rack
ing withdrawal symptoms that
sometimes threaten a patients
life.
The treatments are the same
that have proved effective in
some forms of mental disease.
The treatments were used on
"a patients whose addiction to
narcotics ranged from / month
| to 20 years. The number of
shock treatments needed ranged
from 8 to 40.
The usual treatment for ad-
diction. the doctors said. is grad
ual withdrawal of the drugs.
This procedure requires at least
135 days disqualification.
Suffered Physical Symptoms.
During this period. the addicts
suffer from many physical and
emotional symptoms and many
refuse to continue the treatment.
Writing in. the current
archives Of neurology and psy-
chiatry, published by the Ameri-
can Medical Association, Drs.
F B. Thigpen, C. H. Thigpen
and H. M. Cleckley of Augusta,
said they began using electric
convulSive treatments in 1948
and the method twas from the
first so successful that we felt it
should be brought to the atten-
ton of Others"
They said they seldom give
any of their patients any drugs
after they enter the hospital. In
stead electric shock treatments
are started, their frequency being
determined chiefly by the pa
TENTS complaints. Not one of
their "a patients suffered physi-
ologic withdrawal symptoms, they
reported.
Two Weeks Treatment.
The doctors said that before
using the shock treatments, few
of their patients remained long
enough to be freed from the ad-
diction. Since using the shock
treatments, they added, I'VE have
lor several years been able to
complete withdrawal in most
cases and send our patients out
