FROM HABIT TO HABIT

Anyone who wants to perform few ex-
ercises in self-discipline can get workout
by trying to avoid some familiar habit. Knee
crossing, for example.
An informal, highly unscientific survey
suggests that practically everyone is a con-
firmed knee-crosser. Just try going for an
hour-at your desk, or in a social gathering
without crossing your knees. Accomplish
ing this requires constant alertness, which
can only be maintained at cost of frequently
losing the thread of thought or conversa-
tion. The moment you relax, up goes one
leg to cross the other.
Still, it can be done. And there may be a
clue, here, to solution of many of the worlds
ills. Most of them seem to spring from
habit.
First everyone tackles something rela-
lively easy-the knee-crossing habit, say.
Then we go on to bigger things smoking,
aggressive driving, cliches of thought and
speech. And at last everyone joins to break
the old human habit of settling arguments
with war. So sit down and start right now.
And don't cross your knees!

PENTAGON AND DRUGS

This, clearly, is not the drug industry's
finest hour Manufacturers are still licking
the wounds inflicted by the thahdomide scam
dal and the resultant passage of a tough
drug control bill. Now they have received
another blow, public disclosure that the De-
partment of Defense buys lot of drugs
abroad because it can get them cheaper than
from u. S. companies.
This is not an open and shut matter:
Other considerations than merely the price
of drugs are involved. The whose question
of whether government agencies should "buy
American" exclusively has been raised. IT
infringement of u. S. firms patent rights is
being encouraged by the Pentagon's foreign
drug purchases, as Representative Richard
L. Roudebush of Indiana. claims, that should
be gone into thoroughly.
On the face of it, however, the Defense
Department case for continuing to buy large
quantities of medicines overseas appears to
be good one The department reports that
between December 1859 and July 1862 it
paid S6.8 million for foreign drugs that would
have cost STA if purchased from American
companies.
That is not the worst of it. Thomas D..
Morris, assistant defense secretary, has told
the House Military Operations subcommittee
that the Pentagon believes u. S. drug man.
ufacturers charge more than they need to.
They charge, he said in a letter to the sub
committee, ''what the market will bear"
If that is true, then government pur-
chase of drugs from foreign concerns is
warranted in the public interest. There is
no reason why the Defense Department or
any other unsupported agency should pay
IT, S. firms "what the market will bear
merely for the sake of adhering to a buy
American" policy.

AN OLD STORY

1t is announced that some 500 new dis
count stores have been opened in this coun-
try in about year, and that more than 1900
of these stores are now in operation.
This has put new element into the re-
tail picture. But it does not mean that we
are in for retail revolution in which the
discounters will swamp the traditional types
of store, either chain or independent.
To begin with, the discount houses oper-
ate on minimum of service. Great numbers
of consumers want more than this when
they go shopping. They want the convent.
ences that contribute to the satisfaction ano
pleasure of shopping.
Moreover, the long established merchants
and, again this goes for both the chains
and the independents-are used to meeting
competition. They have no intention OF turn
ing to the wailing wall and letting their trade
go elsewhere. They are making the most Of
their very real inducements and attractions
to keep and increase patronage, and they
are doing it successfully.
For third thing, numbers of establish
ed stores are adding what amounts to dis
count innovations of their own, to meet the
demands of those who want them.
The point is that retailing is always II
a state of development and change in this
country The chains with their mass mer
chandsing methods are the greatest guar
antee the consumer has of reasonable prices

RESISTANCE


Administration spokesmen, following an
old tradition, have said that the defeat OF
major Administration domestic measures
can be attributed to the power of intrench-
ed selfish interests along with pure political
finagling which cynically disregards the pub
lie interest.
But there is another and very different
side to the coin. Walter Lippmann, who has
observed the national scene for a great many
years and is certinly no hidebound conser-
vative, summed it up in these words: 81 do
not see how it can be doubted that the re-
sistance in Congress, which involves about
a third of the Democrats and about all the
Republicans, rests on powerful and stub
born feelings among the voters"
This resistance is to the further eXten-
sion, at enormous cost, of the Welfare State.
Among other things it made itself felt in
the votes that defeated the creation of a
cabinet-level department of urban affairs,
and the medicare plan tied to social security
payments.
The medicare matter is especially signifi-
can't 1t is reported that members of Con-
gress received more than 1 million pieces of
mail in opposition to it. Of the 20 senators
from the 10 states with the highest per-
centage of elderly people, II voted against
the final, amended version of the bill. They
certainly knew the sentiments OF their con-
sttuents.
Every government, like every family,
must at times come to grips with prob
lem as old as society. 1t amounts to choos-
ing between what it might like to have and
what it can afford We can't afford more
Welfare Statsm, without running incalcul-
able risks.

Local Facilities Main
Hope For Mentally Ill

Community facilities for psych-
iatric patients offer 'fhe m n
hope of more successfully combat
ing the major problem of mental
illness in our society,"" according
to DR.. Fred A. Lewis, director,
Fort Logan Mental Health Center,
Denver.
The traditional pattern of pr o.
longed Observation-Disclosures for
mental patients is archaic, medi-
cally unsound, inhumane, and j IN
the long run, much more expen-
sive to the taxpayers" DR.. Lewis
said in the current Journal cf the
American Medical Association.
A more promising alternative is
community care aimed at prevent
ing disqualification by providing
prompt and continued expert care,
he said, and in many parts of the
country the long overdue transi-
tion to this modern concept is un-
der way.
Prolonged n st itu t i n a liza
tion came into being 80 or 100
years ago when knowledge of psy-
chiatric treatment as we now know
it was almost nil. he said. This
system functioned fairly well un-
til the goals of the institutions be-
gan to change from custody to de-
finitive treatment, he said.
"It then became apparent that
the basic principles of good medi-
cal treatment applied equally s
we'll to psychiatric illness as they
did to conventional medical an d
surgical illnesses, and that h s
system made it extremely difficult,
II not impossible, to practice good
medicine" DR.. Lewis said.
The pattern of prolonged insitu-
tionalization ignores basic princi-
Piles of good medical care. such as
early diagnosis and treatment and
continued care after the acute
phase, he said.
"It implies that psychiatric pa
tients should not be treated until

KeOgh Bill: Supporters of tn e
Keogh bill held Congress in ses-
sion in a move to assure eventual
enactment of the measure to pro-
vide the nations self-employed e.
uuitable tax treatment on monies
saved for retirement. At press time
President Kennedy had not acted
ON the measure. The President
would have either to sign or to
veto the bill as long as Congress
was in session. Congress was ex-
pected to override a veto.
Dlphtheria: Two deaths were re-
ported by health officials in Iowa
and South Dakota in an outbreak
of diphtheria. In Sioux City, Iowa,
Charles Maxwell MD, city health
officer, expressed hope that a plat

days passed with no new cases re-
ported in the city. Forty-nine per-
sons have been isolated as possible
carriers. South Dakota officials
said the IA cases in that state re-

cnlatrlc programming, he a d
some plan for shared fiscal re-
sponsibility has been developed
which usually entails, the st a e
matching local funds on a certain
prescribed basis.
; This plan has worked we'll
when local citizens have become
vitality interested in the psychia-
trio care of their neighbors a
have organized local facilities" he
said. However, to the short-sight-
ed, it still seems cheaper for COM
munities to ignore their RESPONSE
bilities and to continue transfer
ring their sick neighbors to t h e
nearest state hospital.
"The citizens of our country
have yet to be convinced that by
spending some of their tax dollars
now for facilities at the local level
they will be able to avoid much
greater expenditures at the state
level in the not too distant future
Community programs set up
around the country have proved to
be quite successful, DR.. Lewis said
Some of these were organized by
LEGAL communities, he said a.
cthers by state hospital personnel
themselves.
AT one clinic, the Albert Elm
stein School of Medicine in N W
York City. patients are seen the
day they apply to the clinic for
help, he said, and under these cir
cumstances, 1t has been found that
many patients require no more
than half dozen psychiatric in
terviews.
The Washington County Health
Department in Maryland has or
ganized a psychiatric emergency
Milford chronicle., 1962-11-23

their illness is so severe n a
they require an order from court
committing them to an institution,
he said. 81 also implies that as
soon as this acute period has pass
ed, the patient may be discharged
without further thought"
Aside from the obvious inhu-
manity of locking up persons who
could be treated and returned to
society, Dr. Lewis said, psychiat-
rists have learned through bitter
experience that it is much easier
to keep patients out of a psychia-
tric institution than it is to get
them out once they have been ad-
mited.
"Once the patient is in an in
stitution, the ranks of his COM
munity tend to close behind him,
he said. His family readjusts to
his absence, his employer may
hire someone else to do his job,
and life necessarily goes on in the
community minus the member who
has been hospitalized. When q pa
tient leaves the hospital he must
break anew into this community
which now regards him as some
what of a stranger"
disqualification has another a d.
verse effect ON the patient by al
lowing him to withdraw from life's
stresses. he said
"Once a patient has become ac-
customed to having his life run for
him by other people. if frequently
becomes difficult for him to give
up the security OF the hospital for
the uncertainty of life outside OF
an institution" he said.
From the financial standpoint,
DR.. Lewis said, institutionalizatio
is by far the most expensive way
of caring for psychiatric patients.
A mental patient committed to a
state hospital at age 20 will cost
his state more than $4,000 IL he
lives out his normal life expect
ancy of 46 more years, he said.
Obviously, the state should n o
and cannot organize, staff, and fl
nance all of the local services
which are vitality needed, he said.
In most states with advanced psy-
Milford chronicle., 1962-11-23

service which responds to calls in
the community "a hours a day, he
said. With this service, he said, ad-
missions to the state hospital from
the county dropped 32 per cent.
Many ingenious programs have
been devised to function as sub
stitute for capitalization, he con-
tinued. In Massachusetts,, he said,
psychiatric team has b e n
routinely visiting all patients re-
ferred for disqualification to t h e
Massachusetts Mental Health Cen
ter in an effort to work out al
ternatives to hospital admission
and was able to find suitable al
ternatives for 60 per cent.
In New York City, he said, the
after care clinic from Manhattan
State Hospital established a pilot
project in which psy'chctic patients
who had suffered relapse were
referred to the clinic for outpa-
tient treatment rather than being
readmitted to the state Hospital. A
large proportion were back on
their jobs in two to six weeks, he
said.
In Denver, Boston, and various
other places, day hospital pro-
grams have been set up to provide
care for patients who otherwise
would have to be hospitalized.
