NEW YORK, Mar. 26 (AP)
In the slums of upper West
Side Manhattan two buildings
stood without heat or light as
nightfall brought darkness and
cold to the $50 tenants inside.
At the gas meter valve and
the fuse box. an angry young
man hacked away the locks to
restore gas and electrical serv-
lice cut off because the land
lord didn't pay the bill.
That angry young man was
identified yesterday as the
Rev. John D. Purnell, %, an
Episcopal clergyman who an
swered the slum dwellers' pleas
for help.

Strategy Shift Tied

Unexpectedly rapid develop
ment Of the Soviet missile Of
tense makes American air de-
tense look like a losing game,
Pentagon officials said today in
explaining a new 81 billion cut
in planned air defense spending.
Air defense programs will be
cut back by $140 million this
fiscal year, $50 million in fiscal
1861 and $3.50 million in 1862.
Air Force officials initiated the
cuts, and Secretary of Defense
Gates, before he left for Europe
last week, accepted them. In
part, the reductions were forced
by the tight Air Force budget,
but they also were based on
the belief that the strategic
picture has changed.
Progress Unexpected
Soviet missiles have out
stripped year-old official ma
tional intelligence estimates OF
their probable rate of improve
ment. More missiles are being
built, and their accuracy and
reliability has grown faster
than had been thought pos
sible. American long-range
missiles have grown" at an
equally surprising rate.
The result is that air defense

Police Report

A 26-year-old liquor store de-
liveryman this afternoon was
charged with the rape Of a 40
year-old woman employe at
National Airport early today in
the 2700 block Macomb street
NV.
Deputy Chief Edgar E. Scott
said the suspect, William Ralph,
who lives in a basement apart
ment in the 300 block Ordway
street NV, has admitted the
rape of a second woman in
Kensington, Md, Monday night:
and the attempted rape of q
third woman in her Chevy
Chase home Thursday night.
He also admits today's attack.
Chief Scott said.
Ralph is colored and all Of
his victims are white.
Chief Scott said the man ad-
mitted grabbing the 40-year-
old woman as she walked from
her car, dragging her to the
rear of a house and attacking
her.
Confronted by Woman
The police official said the
suspect was confronted by the
woman this morning and sup
piled details of the attack
which she agreed fitted in with
what actually happened.
The Chevy Chase woman
and her l7-year-old daughter
picked the suspect out of q
police lineup as the "man they
thought" had attacked the
housewife before the woman
and the daughter fought him
OF, forcing him to flee, the
deputy police chief said.
He added that the suspect
supplied details about the Chevy
Chase home-details he could
know only by having been in
side the house. And Ralph told
questioning police that a piece
of his undershirt had been torn
of during the struggle, a detail
which fitted in with the story
of the attack told by the Chevy
Chase woman'S daughter.
Pointed Out in Hall
Capt. John Sullivan, head of
the District police sex squad,
said the Kensington woman ar
rived too late to attend the
lineup this morning, but that
she passed the suspect in the
hall, pointed him out and said,
That's the man."
Ralph then said he wanted
to apologize to that woman"
and told her details of the
Monday night attack that made
it positive" this was the right
man." Capt. Sullivan added.
The captain said his investi-
gators had started to give Ralph
a lie detector test when the
suspect admitted raping the
District woman. The other ad-
missions then followed during
Interrogation without lie de-
tector tests, Capt. Sullivan said.

The campaign led to bloody

quently, however, and most of us can expect
to witness such an attack at some time.
Consequently, everyone should be forewarned
of one thing: such outbursts of emotion can be
contagious. Those in the immediate vicinity
tend to become overanxious themselves be-
cause they feel unable to cope with the out
bursts. Most peoples nervous attempts to
calm the hysterical person only serve to in
tensify the attack. The time-honored "bucket
of water" thrown on the person may bring
him to his senses but this is due not so much
to the water but to the recognition by the
hysterical person that someone seems to have
the situation under control. However, this
method is not to be recommended In fact,
throwing cold water is itself often an act of
desperation on the part of the observer.
There are some specific dos and dOn'ts for
handling of Mysteries.
First, do not become anxious yourself, even
if the attack does not subside Immediately.
Secondly, do not shout at the hysterical
person, for the shouting conveys anxiety and
loss of control on your part
Thirdly, do not use physical methods such
as slapping the face. Although these methods
may sometimes be effective, they can often
make the person worse.
As for the dos the most important is to
remain calm yourself. Keep in mind that no
physical harm will come to the patient and
that the attack is bound to end. If the attack
is taking place in public, try to find out from
one of the bystanders what precipitated the
outburst Next, if there are several people
trying to help, ask them to leave it to the
person who seems most able to take command
of the situation. 1t may be necessary to ask
everyone else to leave the room.
Temper or hYsierio?
The person having Mysteries should be
spoken to quietly but firmly. Reassure him
that everything is in hand or that the danger
is past = according to the circumstances.
If the person is throwing himself about, it is
usually advisable not to restrain him - it is
often better to pay no attention until his move
ments cease. At this point, reinsurance and
support will be the most effective way to help.
Attacks of Mysteries are rare in children,
and convulsions in child rarely of purely
emotional origin. When they occur, they are
much more direct expressions of fear and
fright Most children when frightened tend
to cover rather than scream, but when they
scream it is in obvious terror. Juvenile
temper tantrums, however, in many ways re-
semble the hysterical attack of the adult =
the emotion dominates his behavior and con-
tinues in spite of attempts by others to have
him control himself Such behavior is best
controlled by paying no direct attention to
the child until the tantrum is over. When
child is terrified, he needs kind firm reassur-
