commitment to the state hospital
as a result of decision by Memo
!. rial Hospital, in Phoenix, to open
special wing for diagnosis and
treatment of their disorders.
The new wing, opened Monday,
May II, has been activated at the
request of the medical staff and
following prolonged consideration
by the Board of Trustees. The ac-
ton follows a trend by larger hos
pitfalls in most metropolitan areas
and recognizes increased public in
terest in mental health problems.
Memorial is the first general hos

ing its laboratory, X-ray, surgical
and drug facilities available for the
impatient treatment of psychiatric
and neurological diseases and vari-
Gus related disorders.
Absence of such facilities at gen.
eral hospitals open to the public
has often resulted in non-treat-
ment of physical aspects of nervous
disorders, thus delaying or pre-
venting full recovery.
The chief of neuropsychiatry on
Memorials medical staff has stated
that the integration of this field
into the scope and function of the
hospital will broaden the educa-

An all-male Kings County jury
recommended that Jack Koslow
IS, and Melvin Mittman, II, spend
the rest of their lives in jail.
They were found guilty of tor
turing Willard Menter in a Brook
lyn park last Aug. II. The torture
resulted in Menter's drowning IN
the East River.
Originally four youths had been
indicted. One of them, Robert
Trachtenberg. Is, previously was
granted a separate trial and testi-
fled for the prosecution. A first

missed last week. He still faces a

MOSCOW was depicted by the
prosecution as leader of the gang
which roamed Brooklyn parks at
night, beating and torturing inno-

Attorneys for Koslow and Mitt-
man argued that Menter's death
was not murder but resulted from

they would appeal the verdict.

Rearnlalnent
Speed-Upls
Dulles Aim
By JOSEPH e. DYNAN

PARIS R-U.S. Secretary of
State Dulles flew to Paris today
for. talks on speeding German
rearmament and a NATO Council
debate on a controversial plan to
use atomic weapons in European
defense.
Accompanied by other high
American officials, Dulles left
Washington yesterday. In a pre-
pared statement emphasizing the
defensive character of the NATO
alliance, he said the free world
would neither be intimidated nor
lulled into a false sense Of secur-
ity" by the Communists.
Dulles was due to confer with
French Premier Pierre Mendes-
France shortly after landing. The
two leaders were expected to dis
cuss ways of speeding ratification
of the Paris agreements freeing
and rearming West Germany and
of getting that rearmament into
high gear once ratification IS
achieved.
They will be joined by British
Foreign Secretary Sir Anthony
Eden for further talks tomorrow,
on the eve Of Fridays opening Of
the NATO Councils annual review
session.
Accompanying Dulles were Treas
ury Secretary George Humphrey,
Harold Stassen, foreign aid chief,
and Livingston T. Merchant, assist
ant secretary of state for European
affairs. Foreign, finance and de-
tense ministers of the IA NATO
countries will participate in the
two-day council meeting.
In addition to the crucial atom
plan debate, the council must fix
definite goals for each member
country for 1855, agree on provi-
sional goals for 1856 and on
planned goals for 1857. The goals
include the number of provisions,
planes and other defense items
each nation is to provide.
The atomic issue came to the
forefront as a result of a feeling
increasing in European diplomatic
circles that atomic weapons of any
sort should not be used without
prior approval of all NATO men,
Der governments.
A "new look" plan, approved in
principle by the NATO ministers
last year, provided for the use of
atomic weapons to counterbalance
the Communist worlds heavy pre-
dominance in manpower. Under
the plan, new and spectacular
weapons were to replace vast
numbers of infantry.
A plan submitted by Western
chiefs of staff, sitting as NATO's
military committee, is believed to
recommend that the choice of
weapons in case of an attack from
the east be left to the supreme
allied commander in Europe. That
post is now filled by us. Gen.
Alfred M. Gruenther.
Official French sources said yes
terday, however, the European
governments are in general agree
ment that the use of atomic weap-
ons, even small tactical types,
should not be left to the discretion
Of the military. They contend this
must be a policy decision since t
involves &he possible risk of re-
prisal raNs on Western cities.
The military argument is that a
would have to be countered quickly
and fully if defense is to be
effective. A commander could not
wait for IA governments TO meet.
debate and decide.
If atomic weapons are vetoed.
the military men say, the West
will have to increase greatly the
strength of its forces.
Any proposals to increase the
manpower quotas, however, are
expected to meet strong opposition
from council members.
