The
Rambler
Sours
On Elephant
By JOHN McKELWAY

There are a few things you
should do in Washington be-
fore you move away, or go to
jail or fail to get reelected.
One is 10 attend the Grid
iron Clubs banquet. Another
traditional affair is opening
day, when the Senators still
have that ghost of a chance.
Perhaps you might prefer
the dinner of the Alfalfa
Club, the Symphony Ball, a
RedSkin game, or the OPEN
ing of Congress when those
gentlemen still have a ghost
of a chance.
In relatively recent years
another traditional gather
ing seems to have taken
hold. 1t fills some gaps in
November and prepares you
for the frantic holiday sea-
son ahead. If you are lucky
enough to get an invitation
as the Rambler was-eat
with the Anteaters.
In preparation for the
feast, the Rambler skipped
breakfast yesterday and got
out to the Zoo about 10 am.
The woods were golden,
the sky was a deep blue and
there was just enough nip in
the air to make a walk re-
freshing. 1t also helped the
walker get in the proper
frame of mind to eat ele-
plant.
While elephants fascinate
the Rambler, he has never
had any desire to eat one.
But there had been that
fine luncheon last year when
the Anteaters, an organiza-
ton which has as its one
purpose the gobbling up of
wild game, screwed up its
courage and downed pounds
of HippopotamuS. 1t h al
tasted something like roast
beef and had settled we'll.
And the Rambler felt If he
could eat Hippo, he could at
least sample the elephant.
He presumed he would be

The superintendent today
also outlined his ideas for ex-
banding mental health care in
the District.
Subcommittee members noted
that President Kennedy early
this year requested that the
District government, in CO.
operation with the Department
of Health. Education and We'll
fare. lead the way in adopting
and demonstrating new con-
cepts in treating mental illness.
Speaking in reference to the
White House proposal, DR.. Cam
eran said he thought the city
should be divided into three or
four geographic areas, each
served by a community mental
health center.
The District, he said, should
make use of existing facilities,
including st. Elizabeth's. The
Federal Institution could con-
tinue to handle the "interme-
date and long-term" patients
from throughout the city, while
the proposed new center could
offer short-term care.
In his testimony yesterday,
DR.. Cameron proposed that the
institution have as many staff
members as patients.
This proposal headed a list
of recommendations by DR..
Cameron for long-term i'm
provements at the institution.
The security question, he said,
is tied in with the overcrowded
hospitals long-arnge patient
care problems.
The hospital superintendent
said there should be a 1-to-1
ratio between the staff and the
patients, exclusive of full time
research and training person.
mel. st. Elizabeth's now has
about 1000 employees for about
6,700 resident patients.

A House investigating sub
committee today was told that
about one out of every five

from st. Elizabeths Hospital
this year committed new acts
of violence while at large.
The statistics were submitted
by DR.. Dale c. Cameron, su-
perintendent of the hospital, to
a special House Education and
Labor Subcommittee.
The subcommittee. headed by
Representative Daniels, Demo-
crat of New Jersey. was set up
to investigate problems at the
Federal mental institution.
The hearings, which got under
way yesterday, are focusing on
the problem of escapes of dan
gerous patients.
In answer to questions from
the subcommittee, DR.. Cameron
today said that 20 of lat "pris-
oner" patients committed new
crimes after escaping from the
hospital this year.
/ One Died in Gunfight
The breakdown on the acts
Of violence, he said, includes
one murder, one rape, four rob-
berries and % miscellaneous
charges ranging from assault
to housebreak.
One patient died after a gun
battle with police.
The subcommittee staff said
that DR.. Cameron's figures are
out Of line with the statistics
from the Police Department
The superintendent said he had
no explanation for the conflict
in the figures.
The number Of escapes by

to the hospital after criminal
proceedings-haS risen during

BALTIMORE, Aug. 9 CAP)-
A Johns Hopkins pediatrician
has described in detail the dis
ease which took the life of the
premature son of President
Kennedy.
DR.. Mary Ellen Avery, pedia-
trician in charge of newborn
nurseries and assistant profess
sor Of pediatrics at the Hop
kins Medical Institutions, is not
connected with the Kennedy
case. She issued this statement
as general information:
". Hyaline membrane dis
ease is very well known to
all doctors who take care OF
premature infants, since about
$4,000 babies a year die from
this disease in the United
States. About 20 babies q year

MEMBRANE FORMS
II Hours Critical
In HyoIine Disease

many studies, mostly done in
the past 10 years, have shown
it is related to immaturity of
the lung. The baby can initiate
his lungs normally but when
he breathes out, the lungs
empty instead Of retaining
some air as they usually do.
Thick Membrane Forms
IF the lungs are not suf-
ficiently well developed to keep
some air in them at all times,
they tend to form a thick
membrane in the air spaces
from which the disease gets its
name-the hyaline membrane
disease, often called the lido
pathic respiratory distress syn
drome.
Infants are usually placed
in incubators which provide
added heat and humidity and
extra oxygen. Sometimes in
travenous fluids are given and
occasionally the infants are
given artificial respiration for
some days. The critical period
is only a few days. u hours.
"Hyaline membrane disease
is not thought to be familial,
except when several infants
are delivered prematurely; in
that case, they would all be
at greater risk than If they
had been delivered at full term.
There is no known associa-
ton with birth injury or any
maternal disease except dia-
betes. 1t does appear to be
more common in premature in
fants delivered by Caesarean
section. although the mode Of
delivery does not predispose
to the disease after a term
