LAW IN THE NEWS
BY PHIL YEAGER
And JOHN STARK

Contributing Writers for The Star
Emile lola once observed
bitterly that the law in
It's infinite majesty gave
princes and paupers equal
rights to sleep under the
Seine bridges Of Paris. This
right has been emphatically
confirmed by a committee Of
the French parliament,
which continued the time
honored right Of "clochards"
(bums) to sleep in public
places, whether 1t be the
warm air gratingS Of Paris
subways or under the fam
GUS bridge arches Of that
city. The committee killed a
proposal which would have
given the French police pow
er to arrest and Jail Sleep
ing hoboes.
The issue arose in the
course of a recent campaign
to rid Paris Of the traditional
"clochards" whose casual
habit of sleeping in parks
and other places, more often
than not well oiled with
cheap wine, bothered some
Of the more proper Pari-
slams. 1t spoiled the beauty
and dignity Of the city. they
felt.
But the "clochards" have
their own pride. Usually they
carry some money with them
learned through odd jobs or
seasonal work. and this pre-
vents their arrest under
French vagrancy laws. Like
our own versions, these stat
uteS apply to persons with
no home, no funds, and no
visible means of support.
But in France. a citizen can
sleep in the streets with i'm
punity provided he has some
money in his pocket.
In an effort to flneSse the
matter, the French police be-
gan to round up the hoboes,

FAMOUS FABLES
BY E. E. TDGAR

Versatile: Meyer Davis, So
ciety's top orchestra leader,
was once engaged by a So
cialite who requested a string
section with ten violins. Able
to find only nine violiniStS,
Davis asked a friend, a lead
ing pianist, to play the fiddle
for the night.
you won't really have to
play" Davis told him. Just
tuck the violin under your
chin and pretend. Nobody
will notice the difference"
Everything went smoothly
for the first few numbers.
Then the pianist began to
ham 1t up. AS he pulled the
bow noiselessly across the
strings his face took on a
look Of rapture.
During the intermission,
the hostess called Davis aside.
That violinist," she said,
pointing to the pianist.
What a superb artist! Can
you have him play a solo for
us?"
Davis did some quick
thinking.
You think he's a great
violinist?" he said. "You
should hear him play the
piano"
The "violiniSt" was brought
over to the piano and gave
a performance which left the
hostess limp with admiration.

OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
THE CASE OF
THE HIT-RUN DRIVER
By DONALD ]. SOBOL

BY DONALD ]. SOBOL
The body Of Bryan Kirk,
tennis pro at the fremont
Manor Hotel, lay in a gulley
off Route 81. Dirt coated his
white T shirt, blue shorts,
socks, and even his sneakers,
indicating that he had rolled
over several times after be-
ing struck by a hit-run
driver.
Looks like Kirk was run
down purposefully," Sheriff
Monohan said to DR.. Hailed
iian. Somebody lured him
out here-it's the perfect
spot for the thing. Those
trees screen out witnesses,
and the road bends ahead
and behind.
Furthermore" continued
the sheriff, Kirk had a rep.
uatation. A lot of husbands
- guests as well as hotel
officials-have had words
With him. About 10 minutes
before his death. Mrs. Grant,
wife of the hotel manager,
saw her husband chatting
with Kirk outside Kinks bun
galow. She couldn't hear
what was said, but she saw
the men part without shak-
ing hands. From there, Kirk
walked to his death"
Returning to the hotel with
the sheriff. Haledjian ques-
toned Grant about his con-
versation with the tennis pro.
"Oh, that?" said Grant.
Kirk was supposed to keep
records of every lesson, be-
cause the hotel gets a per-
centage. He hadn't been do
ing it, but he promised he
would thereafter"
Did your wife take tennis
lessons FROM him?"

It's important for parents to
know what is going on in
their children's minds.
Aside from this, I have
been suSpecting that things
are not as they should be in
that household. My brother
in-law has always had an
eye for women. Maybe if he

saying the child really under
stands anything, but this
might just be the thing to
bring him into line.
What is most important
is that this child is going
around talking like this.
THE COUNCILS VIEW
Edna's desire to use this
child's confession to bring
something to a head in an
other household is wrong. It
is also wrong to break the
promise to the child. But
Edna'S maternal instinct that
tells her the parents ought to
be made aware Of their child's
unhappiness Is on the right
track.
The right thing to do in
this case was to have con-
fronted the child and told
her she could be mistaken.
The statement that parents
sometimes have their disagree
ements but can go on loving
one another was a good one.
1t should have been supple
mented by telling the child
to talk to her parents the
next time she has these feel
ingS. When she demanded
the promise that her mother
not be told, she should have
been advised to have no fear,
but to tell her mother herself.
There is much to be gained
by treating children with re-
spect and by recognizing that
they are extremely sensitive
to the feelings Of adults.
Children are also very senSi-
tive to moral issues and Bit
terly resent broken promises
and unfair treatment.

ScHIzoPHRENIA - Conf'd from preceding page

ment = inSulin, electroShock, tranquiIizing
drugs and pSychotherapy - has brought about
real gains in recovery.
This turn is of tremendous importance be-
cause it concerns the most widespread of the
serious mental illnesses = one which strikes
primarily at young people. Schizophrenia
sends more than 10000 people to mental hos
pitfalls each year. Most of these cases are young
adults between 20 and IS. Some are even in
early childhood.
Today, when good care and treatment are
available, more than half of the Schizophrenic
patients may be discharged within year after
admission. But when they do not recover after
early, intensive treatment, they are apt to
finger on as custodial patients anywhere from
five to 30 or 20 years. That is why Schizo-
phrenic patients make up SO large proper
ton - about half of the total mental
hospital population of 10000.
Body Chemistry A Clue,
For the past Is years this disease has been
under concentrated study by a task force Of
some of the nations leading scientists in a
comprehensive research program sponsored
and financed by the Thirty-third Degree,
Scottish Rite Northern Masonic Jurisdiction,
and co-ordinated by the National Association
for Mental Health.
Scientists have attacked the disease from
every angle - biochemical, psychological,
clinical, cultural and psychoanalytical. An
important result Of these studies is that they
have shown an underlying difference in body
makeup among schizophrenia patients.
Among the body peculiarities so far pin
pointed are chemical differences in the blood,
urine and cerebrospinal fluid. These differ
ences make schizophrenicS more susceptible to
emotional stresses and preSSures which trigger
abnormal behavior - the symptom Of the
disease. The stresses Of life, sometimes even
mild ones, can turn one Of these apparently
normal persons into fully developed schizo-
phrenic, although careful study of his past will
usually show some indications Of undue sensi-
tiWty or other evidences of disturbed social
relationships

Evidence OF Heredity Factor

The very same kind of stresses do not have
similar effect on people who do not have this
special susceptibility, which appears to be
inherited These studies have also shown that
even persons who have inherited this suscepti-
biIity do not necessarily succumb to the illness.
1t is Questionable whether this illness is any
more prevalent today than in the past. Ger
tainIy more schizophrenic patients are in men
tai hospitals than would be accounted for
by the growth of our population. However,
other explanations may account for this.
States are offering more hospital space for the
mentally i'll, and early admission and treatment
are encouraged. Also, as communities become
more crowded and urban, they are less able to
tolerate the mentally i'll and are more inclined
to put them in hospitals.
Considering past progress, there IS no doubt
that drugs, psychotherapy and other forms of
treatment will be constantly improved. In the
future, more and more schizophrenic patients
will be discharged earlier from our hospitals,
or be treated outside the hospital in commun-
ity clinics, to the point of either
full or partial recovery. We are EWA
