Psychiatrists Surveyed
On Abortion Problem
By PATRICIA McCORMACK
NEW YORK (UPD—Psychia
trists concerned about abortion
consider the expectant mother,
her rights and what is going to
to her emotionally,
i Their concern extends to the
child—his rights, what happens
when he is unwanted—and the
family, unwilling or unable to
provide a loving home.
The costs of being unwanted
; add up to a sociological cancer
and incoude delinquency,
.disease, crime, maladjustment,
( mental and emotional illness.
Survey Psychiatrists
These points were made
repeatedly in a poll of more
i than 5,000 psychiatrists, all
’ members of the American
! Psychiatric Association. The
survey topic: abortion.
Data show the psychiatrists in
favor of liberalizing the indica
tions for abortion. Most prefer
safeguards embodied in profes
sional supervisory boards.
Some suggested these boards
consist of medical personnel
from various specialties, others
that such boards include social
workers, lawyers and other non
medical professionals.
Spray Plane
Crashes Into
Small Pond
ALBANY, Ga. (UPD—Robert
T. Weber, 43, of Albany, was
killed Wednesday when his mos
quito-spray plane crashed Into
a pond.
The small plane crashed five
miles north of Albany in Lee
County. Rescue workers recov
ered Weber’s body from the
pond.
Respiration Tip
SAN FRANCISCO (UPD—Ar
tificial respiration must be star
ted immediately when an acci
dent or illness causes a victim
to stop breathing, the Californ
ia Medical Association says. A
person can live only about six
minutes without breathing. Brain
damage may begin within four
minutes, the association says.
The sooner breathing is restor
ed, the better the chance of re
covery.

An analysis of their replies
found most preferring abortion
problems be handled by indivi
dually considering each case,
rather than by general rules or
categories automatically ap
plied, including legal rules.
Major Questions
A capsule report of the
surveyed psychiatrists’ atti
tudes:
—97 per cent felt a pregnancy
should be interrupted when the
life of the mother is endan
gered.
—B6 per cent felt an
interruption was called for when
the physical health of the
mother might be impaired.
—BB per cent would favor
interruption when there is
significant risk the mental or
emotional health of mother
might be jeopardized.
—9O per cent felt an
Interruption would be called for
when there is a significant risk
that the child would be born
mentally or physically defec
tive.
—9l per cent favored inter
ruption when the pregnancy
resulted from rape or incest
involving a girl under 16.
—B6 per cent called for

interruption when the rape or
incest involved a girl over 16.
—23 per cent thought a

whenever a woman requested it.
California Leads Liberals
In terms of llberaliztlon of
indications for abortion, psychi
atrists in California and New
York were about equal, with
California having a slight edge.
A psychiatrist consulted on
problems of unwed mothers for
20 years favored unlimited
abortions. He said:
“I have yet to see a case in
which an unwanted pregnancy
has not resulted in psychologi
cal damage to the mother, to
the child or to both. Frequently,
the damage is major and
unbeatable.”
And a woman psychiatrist
favoring abortion on request
said:
“A pregnancy should be
terminated when a woman is
desperate enough to seek it, no
matter what the reasons.
“Too many women have died
because moralistic clergymen
and the mercenary underworld
have driven them into the hands
of unskilled individuals.”
County School
Consolidation
Made Easier
ATLANTA (UPD — County
wide school consolidation will
be much easier now, thanks to
a Wednesday rule change by
the state Board of Education.
The new ruling allows a coun
ty to consolidate either its high
schools or elementary schools
as separate groups.
Previously, a county had to
submit a master consolidation
plan for both elementary and
high schools before it could get
state funds.
State Superintendent of Edu
cation Jack Nix said the new
plan will make it easier for
counties in poor financial con
dition to consolidate.
The Board’s decision was a
political set-back for Gov. Les
ter Maddox who approves of
consolidation only if it has the
approval of local voters. Board
members feel local school offi
cials have the right to make
consolidation decisions without
voter approval.
Maddox has indicated he will
ask the 1968 legislature to pass
a bill making it necessary to
hold a local referendum before
consolidating.
Geranium Care
UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa.
(UPD — Geranium fancier
should keep in mind that direct
sunlight promotes the vigorous
growth of their favorie plant.
Penn State Extension floriculture
specialists remind that geran
iums need several hours of di
rect sunlight daily. The plants
flourish in south windows but
may be placed in east or west
windows provided they will have
several hours of sunshine a day.
Flood Prevention
ANN ARBOR, Mich. (UPD—
Towns located near rivers are
often their own worst enemy
when threatened by a flood, ac
cording to an engineer. Increas
ed urbanization forces waters to
run off rather than be absorb
ed into tne earth, said Prof. E.
F. Brater of the University of
Michigan. In addition, storm se
wers rush water to streams and
rivers, upsetting the natural
timing of runoff. He said plan
ners should look at least 20 years
ahead when working on sewers
and other related water carriers.

MINATURE ‘MODEL T’, just like Dad’s, is the pride of Karen Skinner, 10, whose
father built for her a copy of his own antique car. Made by Kenneth R. Skinner of
Metuchen, N.Y., it is powered by a two-cycle lawnmower engine and is equipped with
brakes and clutch. The wheels, which have handmade wooden spokes, use 20-inch
bicycle tires. The little auto took two years to complete.
