"The doctors told me to forget
that David was my baby. They
told me to think of him as q
disfigured thing, apart from my
life-a thing that needed help"
The fragile mother described
four years of physical agony

Struggled beside her was the
subject of her discussion = q
four-year-old who was not sup
posed to have lived beyond five
months.
David Bergen, 7423 Carroll
Ave-, Takoma Park, was born
with only half a normal face.
a badly damaged heart, a con
genital strangulated hernia and
a severely cleft palate. Doctors
told his parents, Mr.. and Mrs
Henry Bergen, that David had
little chance to survive, but
they simply refused to believe
the worst.
Parents can be stubborn"
Bergen said with a grin. 1--WE
refused to believe the little guy
couldn't pull through. That kid,
he's a real fighter" Bergen said
with pride.
David was a full-term baby"
Mrs. Bergen explained. THE
doctor doesn't know why he was
disfigured. Some think it might
have been because of the flu /
had during the first three weeks
of pregnancy" she added.
David weighed seven pounds,
16 ounces at birth. Six months
later he had gained less than
four pounds because his dis
abled palate and lips prevented
normal feeding. A large syringe,
containing milk and later food,
was attached to a tube which
was inserted into the baby's
throat. David still takes food in
this manner, the Borgens said.
With no lids to protect the
left eve, doctors took skin from
the infants shoulder and graft.

area when David was six
months old.
Little David's face and palate
have been torn up and put back
together in eight plastic sur.
gerry operations, Bergen said. He
is scheduled for many more
operations before the left side
of his face can pass for normal.
At the age of three he under
went surgery for a strangulated
hernia on the right side. In a
year or two doctors may try to
close the gaping hole in his en-
larged heart, and perhaps repair
the shrivelled pulmonary artery
which functions very improper
ly," according to one of the
many surgeons who has treated
the child.
David will have more surgery
on his severely defective
palate" doctors said. Dental
surgeons later on, may replace
the child's tiny yellow teeth with
proper bridgework.
1T has taken more than
courage to keep our baby alive.
Dentists, psychiatrists, plastic
surgeons and pediatricians have
given freely of their time and
energy to save his life. The

John B. Diamond Dies;
Elk Chief Judge Was 50

Judge John B. Diamond III,
81, who served on the Montgom-
cry County Peoples Court since
1855, died of a heart attack,
Sunday, at his home at lis
Upton ST, Rockville.
A native of Rockville, Judge
Diamond graduated from Cath
ersburg High School, and later
attended Catholic University,
Benjamin Franklin University
and Columbus Law School.
Judge Diamond stepped down
from the chief judgeship of the
county Peoples Court last July,
expecting to open a private law
office in the near future. He
was in private practice from
1913 to 1851 and again from
1853 to 1855.
From 1884 to 1910, Judge
Diamond was attorney for the
Federal Housing Authority, and
served as Assistant US. Attor-
ney for the District, 1940-1947
and again from 1852 to 1858.
He was a member of the
Montgomery County and Dis.
trict Bar Associations, and a
member of the Washingtonian
Country Club of Rockville.
Surviving are his wife, Eliza.
beth, and three sons, John B. w,

topped by that 1868 Ford 4.

tail price of the car, together
with the sales tax, license plate,

these prizes is simply a matter
of taking both new and renewal
subscriptions to this newspaper.
The contest is very short-only
six more weeks.
An outstanding feature of this
greatest of all prize contests is
the fact that there will be no
losers. The very least anyone

one dollar out Of every five dol.

gram of the us. Public Health
Service was transferred to the
NTH and was expanded to
become the Institute of Mental
Health.
Up until that time, the mental
hygiene work of Public Health
Service had been concerned,
chiefly, with two things: admin
istering two PHS hospitals
established for treatment of
narcotic drug addicts, and the
study of drugs and drug addicts.
During the 1885 there had
been increased awareness of the
need to come to grips with men,
tai illness and emotional dis
orders but il was the iii wind
of World War III that blew the
need into the realm of urgency
and action.
Mental Health activities Of
NH this year win cost in the
neighborhood of $144 million, or
a little more than 16 per cent of
the total appropriation for all
the Institutes in fiscal 1868.
Only general medical sciences,
cancer and heart work exceed 1t
in annual expenditures.
Last year, research grants
made by the Mental Institute
ran more than $40 million;
training grants, 500 million, and
fellowsfips nearly 81 million.
OF necessity, research sup
ported by the institute spans a
wide range of physiological,
psychological, and sociological
sciences. Studies range from
basic biological Investigations
to explorations Of social fac
tors affecting human behavior.
Among these are the psychoses,
neuroses. psychopharmacology
industrial mental health. mental
retardation, alcoholism, school
mental health, and the psyche
logical phases of aging.
Clinical studies made in the
Mental Health's own laborato-

ries concentrate on biological
factors in scilizOphrenia; the
chemical organization and meta
bolism of the nervous sys-
tenn; psychopharTnacology; drug
addiction; effects OF stress on
the human organism; child and
family studies, and effects of
family relations on all types of
psychiatuic disorders,
The Institutes own clinical
and laboratory Investigations
are carried on In three principal
facilities. One is the Clinical
Center, the 5OO-bed research
facility which also houses the
clinical research programs OF
the other National Institutes Of
Health on It's Montgomery
County grounds. The second Is
the william A. White Pavilion,
n 350-bed building on the
grounds of st. Elizabeths Hos
pital In Washington. The third
Is the Addiction Research Cen
ter, n field station Of MIMI at
the Public Health Service Hos
pital In Lexington, Ky.
Training grants made by the
Institute are geared to meet
acute shortages of qualified
mental health personnel and
are given to educational institu-
tons and others to enable them
to expand graduate programs
and provide trainee stipends to
psyc1iatrists, clinical psycholog-
lists, psychiatI.ic social workers,
psychiatric nurses, and others
in the biological and social sci
ences related to mental health.
The Institute supports, also,
psychiatric residency training Of
general practitioners, training
for undergraduate medical stu
dents in human behavior, and
special postgraduate courses for
physicians who wish to increase
their knowledge of psychiatry
while continuing to practice in
other fields.
Still another phi a Sc of
MINIS work concerns itself
with State aid in the develop
ment of comprehensive COM
munity mental health programs.
For example, the Institute

Not because they were sickly,
undernourished, or manned by
physical disabilities. They were
unfit because of neuro-psychia-
trio disorders. No matter that
guns of war were numbering
around the world; that the pro-
tective breadth of the oceans
had become nothing, their coun-
try couldn't use them. They
were mentally i'll.
1t was the Selective Service
System of World War II that
brought into sharp focus the
fact that 100000 - nearly a
million - men between the
ages of 18 and 81 were unfit
because of mental illness in one
form Or another. A further
dramatic spotlight swept the
picture when the Armed Forces
disclosed an additional 100000
had to be discharged for the
same reasons.
Ugly words, mental Illness,

They might go away. Except
they didn't.
Public interest was aroused.
Congress listened long and well
TO a steady stream of repre-
senfatives of the medical pro-
fessions, the armed services,
and many members of educa-
tional, civic and religious groups
who came to plead for answers.
What they wanted they told
the congressional committees
was a comprehensive and inte-
grated attack mental ill.,

light. They wanted research to

about better mental health

1949 years ago, what had been

makes grantsinaid to the States
which, supplemented by State
and local funds have encouraged
the growth of a wide range of
vital community mental health
activities. 1t also gives profess
sional and technical assistance
to the States through eonsulta-
tons, surveys of special mental
health problems, conferences
and demonstration projects. 1t
works to improve and modern
iZe State mental hospitals and
their treatment procedures.
In addition, grants are made
to the States for mental health
projects, surveys, conferences
and research designed to develop
programs for rehabilitation Of
the mentally i'll.
The broad scope Of MIMI
intramuraI research is funneIed
through a number of divisions
and branches. For example, the
Adult Psychiatry Branch cur
rentIy Is conducting, among
other things, the tripartite
research program which include
sections Of Personality Develop
ment, Psychosomatic Medicine,
and Family Studies In Mental
Illness.
The Section Of Psycllonatic
Medicine is concerned with iden-
tifying and quantifying emo
tional reactions and measuring
concornitant hormonal reactions
with special emphasis on the
adrenal and gonadal hoIInones
excreted in urine. Blood and
urine determinations of adrenal
horTnone response to a variety
of natural and experimentally
induced stress situations are
carried out, too.
The section of Family Studies
works with psychiatric patients
in the big Clinical Center and
whose families come in several
times a week for theraP's and
evaluation.
Then there is the Clinical
Neurophaamacoly Research Cen
ter housed in the White Pavilion
at st. Elizabeths which ensure
direct contact with the kind Of
patients who come into mental

hospital. Some 800 patients, are
selected from the general hos
pital population to make up a
group representative of the
many kinds of mental disorders
found in most public mental
institutions. The building is
equipped with special facilities
for both laboratory and clinical
studies, including animal expert
mentation.
One function of the Center is
to define special research prob
lens presented by mental hos
pital populations, and to devel-
Opment research and therapeu-
tic techniques to deal with them.
Through establishment Of
suitable laboratories for expert
mental work in a mental hos
pital, the center, also functions
to bring the hospital closer to
new knowledge and information
being accumulated by the
behavioral sciences.
In it's Laboratory Of SOciO-
Envir0nmental Studies, the
research program of MIMI rs
focused on the role of social
and cultural factors In mental
health. Research Is carried on
In interrelationshipg between
position in the social structure
and dominant tendencies In per-
sOnality development or behav-
Tor patterns. The Laboratory
studies, also, ways In which diff
ferent communities and pOpula-
tons define and cope with men-
tai illness.
Most Of this Laboratory's
work is carried out in the COM
munity and ranges from inten-
sive. continuing study of small
groups Of individuals or fami-
lies to cross-sectional studies Of
the larger population and the
formal and informal organiza-
ton of the community.
The Institutes Laboratory Of
Psychology concerns itself with
Investigations Of personality
and psychological functions

pathological aspects.
