NEWS FOR VETERANS

Democracy in action is
proving useful as a new wea-
pom against mental illness in
30 Veterans Administration
Hospitals.
DIR. S. T. Ginsberg, chief of
the psychiatry division at VA
central office in Washington,
d. c., said patient represen-
tatives elected and organized
under democratic principles
give patients a voice in the
management of their affairs
at the hospitals.
VA psycharists have found
this patient government"
useful in the treatment of
mental illness because of the
self-development, the coopera-
ton, and the acceptance of
responsibility it fosters, DR..
Ginsberg said.
DR.. Ginsberg said patient
governments in VA hospitals
are mainly of two types:
/. Patients on a ward elect
several of their members as
a council to represent the
ward in joint meetings with
members of the hospital
staff.
2. Patients organize as an
overall group along the lines
of community citizens as
ISOLATION, with a constitution
and bylaws and periodic
meetings presided over by
elected officers.
These patient-governments
operate in planning recrea-
tion for patients, establishing
ward regulations for patient
conduct, assigning housekeep-
ing duties, recommending dis
culinary measures, welcom-
ing new patients and many
other activities, DR.. Ginsberg
said.

there is too much emphasis

rived with the award, they
found Mr.. Marks busy on the
telephone. arranging a home for
another stray.
He told the group, at the SIM
pie ceremony. that those years
in the dog house-where he has
seen at least 10000 dogs come
and go-haven't seemed long at
all. And he said his battles, most
Of which he has won, have only
served to sharpen his sword.
The poundmaster's greatest
battle, over the years. has been
with the vivisectionists. Until
recently. the law allowed him to
decide what should be done with
animals that were picked up. and
he made sure, none ever went TO
medical research laboratories.
Z. On ALLEGATION Board
Then. in 1854. the District
Commissioners established the
Animal ALLEGATION Board along
with rules and regulations as to
how, in certain instances. ami
mails were to be made available
to hospitals and laboratories. Mr..
Marks was made a member Of
the board.
"I've used every loophole in
the rules" he says quite bluntly.
ito keep the dogs out of the tor
ture chambers-and now hardly
any ever get through"
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1957-05-09

Mr.. Marks also fought a bat
tie with the principal at Randall
Junior High School, whose play
ground abuts the dog pound. The
principal maintained that the
dogs barking annoyed the chill
dren and asked that the pound
be moved.
Blames Children
Mr.. Marks replied publicly
that "those poor dogs can't even
eat in peace without the children
coming up and annoying them.
If anyone needs protection it's
the dogs" The pound stayed.
And Mr.. Marks has won
several one-year extensions Of
duty as poundmaster-from a
somewhat reluctant District
government.
/. Technically. he should have
been retired in 1853. But each
year. despite objections that the
Commissioners should not make
exceptions to the retirement
regulations. he gets his extern
sion. He is now appointed to
July, 1858.
Mr.. Marks also has fought
against dognappers. against dog
pirates-those who buy dogs
from the pound ostensibly as
pets but actually to sell to
Northumberland against public

indifference to the fate of his
charges.
Retains Enthusiasm
He does it all. he says, because
my chief aim in life is to help
dogs" And at "a he shows all
the enthusiasm in petting q dog
as does a moppet of four.
Although it isn't intentional,
any conversation with Mr.. Marks
about dogs is apt to lead him into
Ia comparison Of dogs with people,
"Just like people," he main
tains, dogs are all different.
Some are ugly and some bright
and some friendly. And some
viii bite you"
He likes the story attributed
to Mark Twain:
IF you pick up a dog from
the street that is cold and hungry
and If you feed and house him
and take care Of him-he won't
bite you.
This is the chief difference
between q dog and q man."

"The many measurements
which have been taken have con-
firmed that fallout from Nevada
tests has not caused illness or
detachable injury to health. The
exposures have been consistent
with the recommendations Of
such authoritative groups as the
National Academy of Sciences
and the National Committee on
Radiation Protection.
Furthermore, information on
levels Of exposure in communi-
ties In the test site area, as well
as elsewhere in the United

Prof. Hermann said that sew

throat have been treated by the
synthetic drug, and that some
Of them appear to be cured.
Smaller the Better
He emphasized. however. that
scientists generally wait. for at
least tive years before they con-
sider cancer cured" Most of
the persons suffered from pri-
mary tumors although some had
metastasized (spread from one
organ to another). OF the latter.
some Of these cancers were
forced to regress.
The professor said that, so far,
the trials showed that the
smaller the tumor the better the
success. Some. he added, have
completely vanished in four
weeks.

the tumor mass whenever posi-
bic. Professor Hermann said.
The object is to first impede the
