Albert E. Cobo. three time win

! Mr.. Cobo and the other Re-
publicans are hoping that Mr.,
Eisenhower will give them a lift
by a visit to Michigan.
Observation-Disclosures race for
governor is extraordinarily close
this year. Two years ago Chris
tan A. Herter. Republican, was
reelected by $4,000 votes over
Democrat Robert F. Murphy.
This year the Republican
candidate, Sumner G.. Whittier,
doesn't appear as strong as Mr.
Herter at the present while the
Democratic candidate, Foster
Furcolo, apparently has gained
strength. Mr.. Furcolo did well
two years ago in losing his race
for the United States Senate to

The pollsters interviewed the

SOUTH BEND. Ind. oct. 20
(P. Adlai E. Stevenson said
today the political campaign
hinges on the Democrats de-
termination to take this gov
eminent away from General
Motors and give it back to the
Joe Smiths"
The Democratic presidential
nominee bid for the labor vote
before a cheering crowd in front
of the st. Joseph County court
house in industrial South Bend,
home of one of the Independent
auto makers. Studebaker-Pack-
ard Corp.
Swapping back at Republican
charges of political irrespon-
Sibility" in his campaign
speeches, Mr.. Stevenson said
What some people do speaks
so loudly you can't hear what
Cney are saying,
why did the Republicans
oppose a 81 minimum wage?
why did they oppose Demo-
cratic efforts to relieve unem-
ployment in some distressed
areas?"
Has Ups and Downs
South Bend has had its ups
and downs from Studebaker
shutdowns in the auto making
lulls.
Mr.. Stevenson said it's not un-
usual for Republicans to call
Democrats promises pie in the
sky" until those promises are ac-

port almost an hour before it
could land through a low ceiling
of ground fog and low rain
clouds.
Plane Delayed
A second plane, carrying news
men and staff, was delayed al
most half an hour longer, but
the pilot. F. w. Jeberjahn,
blamed the delays on a rather
archaic" system of airport traf-
flc control. He said there was
heavy air traffic because of the
afternoon football game at the
University of Notre Dame. Mr..
Stevenson originally had planned
to come here only for the Michi-
gan State-Notre Dame game.
The long delay in Mr.. Steven
sons arrival caused some thin
ming of the crowd around the
courthouse. and newsmen esti-
mated about 5000 remained by
the time he appeared. Daniel w.
Richardson. city street commits
sioner, estimated the original
crowd at 5000 to 10000.
Mr.. Stevenson praised his run
ming mate, Senator Estes Kefau-
yer. as "a friend of every Joe
Smith in America" and added /:
|"Our vice presidential candidate
doesn't have to turn over q new
leaf to go before the people,"
IKE" Sign Displayed
Mr.. Stevenson attended the
Notre Dame game, sitting in a
50-yard line seat. A group of
students hoisted behind him a
sign I'VE Like Ike" which he
apparently did not see. He did
spot an ike" button worn by a
woman sitting in front of him
and with her he talked off and
on in friendly fashion.
Before the game, Mr.. Steven
son was the guest along with
Others at a luncheon given by
the Rev. Theodore M. Hesbrugh.
president of Notre Dame.
After the game, Mr.. Stevenson
flew into Chicago. Before going
to his Libertyville 0ll) home for
the week end, he addressed
Democratic Embarrassing dinners
throughout the country over a
closed television circuit.

SchizOphrenid
Curab|e, Mental
Health Unit Told

A meeting of mental health
experts was told today Of vic-l
tins Of schizophrenia now have
a so per cent chance of recov-
ering.
DR.. George S. Stevenson, medi-
cal consultant of the National
Association for Mental Health,
which is holding its sixth annual
convention at the Sheraton
Park Hotel here, predicted that
chances for partial or total re-
covery will go even higher than
go per cent within a few years.
Schizophrenia is often called
split personality and is the most
common serious mental disease.
It may be marked by delusions
of persecution, hallucinations
and a loss of touch with reality.
DR.. Stevenson said this dra-
matte development is of "tre-
mendous Importance to the peo-
pie of this country since i'll
concerns the most widespread Of
the serious mental illnesse>, one
which strikes primarily at young
people" He said the disease
sends more than 10000 Amer
leans to mental hospitals each |
year. Most Of them are between |
20 and 35.
Advances in Last 10 Years
Up to 10 years ago. DR.. Ste
venson continued. THE very
great majority of the Nations |
mental health patients received
little or no specific treatment"
He said there has been a gradual
increase in the number Of pa
tients given treatment in the
last 10 years but that only about |
20 per cent of the patients are
getting all Of the treatment
available through modern science.
He said gains also have been
made in treating two other ma
jor disorders, inVolutional pSy-
Ghosts and manic -depreSsive
psychosiS, largely disorders of
middle age. Chances for par
tial or total recovery from these
illnesses are about IS per cent
and rs per cent. respectively. he
said. Involutional psychosis
often occurs among women at
change of life"
DR.. Stevenso nadded that the
only two major mental illnesses
which have shown little gain are
senile psychosis and cerebral
arteriosclerosis which are men,
tai diseases found largely among
the aged. The latter affliction
results from hardening of brain
arteries. The two disorders are
marked by faltering memories
and mental processes.
New Drugs Cited
Forty years ago." DR.. Steven
son said, there was little that /
science could do for most mental
patients. Since then, psyche
therapy has been refined and in
sulin shock and electro-ShockI |
have been introduced and wide
ly used.
More recently. research lab
oratories have produced and
many hospitals have used new
drugs for the treatment of men,
tai disorders, commonly known
as tranquilizing drugs"
DR.. Stevenson reported on a |
study made in the New York |
State Mental Hospital system by
DR.. Benjamin Malzberg.
