of this, DR.. Hoffman, pointed
out. is due to the calming in

the hands of a mental patient
has always been considered a
risk at best. No more at St

says. must be able to maintain

I Lobotomies-never resorted too
frequently at st. Elizabeth's -

was performed in November

DR.. Hoffman, said that now the
only time a lobotomy would be
indicated is in a case of adj

pain.

is not required. A patient COM

institution may prescribe treat

But. the mental hospital of
tomorrow is approaching.
PsychiatriSts point out that
eventually patients in the mental
hospital will be newly admitted
persons. The chemically dis
turbed will be. for the most part,
the aged who will be left, as the
drugs help lead to the early dis
charge OF younger patients.

LIBERTYVILLE. H., Oct. 4
(P).-Little Karen Wahl. who
escaped serious injury Tuesday
when she was run over by IA
ton truck, remained in a hospital
today for observation.
Physicians at Condell Me-
mortal Hospital said they had
not found anything seriously
wrong with the 19-month-old
girl They said she might have
a minor bone injury to her left
leg. However, they said they
wanted to keep her under OBJ
servation for a few days.
X-rays taken after the ac-
cident disclosed no fractures.
However, DR.. Jerome j. Burke
found she was bruised from the
waist down and her skin showed
marks of tire treads. Sand and
gravel from the shoulder of
the road, where Karen had been
laying when run over by the
truck, had been driven into her
skin.
1T was a gift of God from the
sky" DR.. Burke said in express
ing his opinion on how Karen
escaped death or serious injury.
The truck started for the road
where Karen was lying after it
left an excavating job next door.
Her mother, Mrs. Jeanne Vail.

for Karen. saw the truck as it

Dewey Blasts
Stevenson for
Using 'Untruths'

NEW YORK. Oct. 4 (P).-
Former Gov. Thomas E. Dewey
says Adlai E. Stevenson has
tried to destroy the character
of the President of the United
States and the character Of his
brother, DR.. Milton S. Eisen-
hover. by a "witch's brew"
Mr.. Dewey also accuses the
Democratic presidential NOM
inee of issuing a miserable
collection of untruths" in charg-
ing that the Eisenhower admin
istration appeased the Peron
regime in Argentina.
The former Governor told his
listeners on a Nation wide tele-
vision and radio broadcast last
night that he hoped they were
las outraged as l am by the
disgraceful attacks that have
been made on the President" by
Mr.. Stevenson.
Mr.. Dewey defended Presi-
dent Eisenhower against a num-
Der of accusations made recently
by his opponent.
In a 15-minute talk sponsored
by the Republican National Con-
greSsional Committee. he called
Mr.. Stevenson ill informed, i'm
pulsive" and mediocre" and
mot even IN the same league
with President Eisenhower"
Mr.. Stevenson, said Mr.. Dewey ;,
would rather be President than
right" and is so frantic for Of
flee that he will say anything to
get there"
THE opposition candidates,
Mr.. Dewey said, ARE going up
and down the country throwing
insults at the President and his
administration and. just lately,
even at his family we have
heard enough of this drivel."
His principal target was Mr..
Stevenson's recent statement
that the Eisenhower administra-
ton "chose to appease" Juan
Peron, the former Argentine die
tator, while Peron "connived
against us and friendly demo-
cratic governments in Central
America"
DR.. Eisenhower, now the presi-
dent of Johns Hopkins Univer-
sity. went to Latin America in
1858 as the Presidents personal
to promote better feel
ing among American states.
Mr.. Stevenson has said that
a member of the Presidents
personal family assumed special.
if informal, responsibility for
our relationship with Argentina.

johnson said the Republicans

The defeat Of the Democrats
in the November elections would
have far reaching conse-
quences" in the South, Senator
johnson said. There were a few
representatives of the South in
the high councils during the
early days Of the Eisenhower
administration. he said, but now
"Brownell, Benson and the big
bankers rule the roost."
Writes Own Program
Senator johnson asked what
can the South expect from Her.

and former New York corpora

own civil rights program" He
also asked:
Can we expect Ezra Taft

Senator Johnson said "the Re-

problems"

A WORD
TO THE WISE
By MRS. FRANK COLBY

Imperial: I notice that in
giving the pronunciation OF
Latin words and phrases, YOU
always give a so-called Angli-
clzed version. There is only
ONE Latin, the Classic, and il
is pronounced as the Romans
pronounced it. I'm thinking
right now of the pronunciation OF
ultimatum. which you recently
gave as "UL-ti-MAY-tum." The
correct pronunciation is: OOL-
ti-MAH-tum.-F. F..
Answer: Sorry, but ultimatum
can no more be considered
classic" Latin than thousands
of other English words of Latin
origin such as major, ratio. jani-
tor. Would you give them the
Roman" recommendations NAH
yore, rah-tee-oh, yah-ni-tore"?
For centuries the English
language has absorbed Latin
words, as well as words from all
other tongues, and converted
them into English words with
English recommendations. AS a
matter Of fact, all words in
English have been borrowed
from other languages.
Cogitate is Latin. Who would
pronounce it "koe-ghee-tah-
tay"? Humor is Latin. Who
would pronounce it "hoo-more"?
Vapor is Latin. Who would
pronounce it "wah-pore"?
And so it is with the word
ultimatum, which has been Eng
lish for centuries. No reputable
authority known to me even
lists such a non-English pronun-
citation as "OOL-tee-MAH-tum 4"
Even crusty old Noah Webster
who had many pretty weird pro-
nunciations in his original die
tionary 1929 listed only ULL-
ti-MAY-tum. which still is the
only pronunciation to be found
in any accepted dictionary.
DR.. w. w. Skeat, in his Ety.
biological Dictionary of the Eng
lish Language, shows these
sources as making up the So
called English language: French,
IS per cent; Anglo-Saxon, rs
per cent; Latin, is per cent
Greek, IA per cent; all others,
10 per cent.
