Treatment For
Brain Injury
Being Offered
New hope for the brain injur
ed is being offered to the peo
ple of the southeast through an
Atlanta organization, Dr. Ver
non S. Broyles, Jr. has announ
ced.
With the formation this year
of the Georgia Institute for Neu
rological Development, Inc., the
much discussed Doman ther
apy is being brought to this sec
tion of the country.
The Atlanta organization whose
board is headed by Dr. Broyles
is affiliated with the Institutes
for the Achievement of Human
Potential located in Philadel
phia and headed by Glenn
Doman.
It is a non-profit organization
whose stated credo is "We in
tend to serve any brain injured
person for whom there is hope
irrespective of race, religion or
financial responsibility.”
Robert Custer, formerly as
sistant director of the Phila
delphia Institute, is as director
of the Atlanta organization.
According to Mr. Custer, par
ents of brain injured children
should apply as early as possi
ble to the director of the insti
tute.
The younger the person is, the
easier it is to aid him. The per
son is brought to the Georgia
Institute for an initial evalua
tion of the brain damage. The
parents are taught the proce
dures for their specific child.
All actual treatment will be per
formed in the person’s home by
the family. Every two months
the person will return to the in
stitute for re-evaluation and re
programing.
Interested persons may get in
formation by writing Mr. Custer
at 607 Peachtree St., N.W., At

Here’s How
SS Measure
Would Work
WASHINGTON (UPl)—Under
the Social Security Bill passed
by the House, benefits would
increase for some 24 million
Americans now receiving pen
sions.
Even If the current measure
did not pass, amendments to
the social security act passed
two years ago call for a gradual
rise in monthly benefits in
nearly all categories. Thus
current law prescribes for a
benefit range of from $44 to a
maximum of $l6B.
In the future, under the bill
the House passed Thursday, the
range would be from a
minimum of SSO monthly to a
maximum of $212. Here are
some examples:
For a workers who is 65 or
older at the time of retirement;
Present Law Proposed Law
$44 SSO
$78.20 SBB
$101.70 $114.50
$112.40 $126.50
$124.20 $139.80
$135.90 $152.90
$169 $lB9
.... 212
(The present formula used to
compute average earnings has a
ceiling of $550. Under the
House-passed bill, this maxi
mum monthly earnings base
would rise to $633, thus there is
no equivalent at this time to the
proposed maximum mc.ithly
benefit).
For a man and wife who
retire at 65; also survivor
benefits for a widow and one
child; or for two parents:
Present Law Proposed Law
$66 $75
$117.30 $132
$152.60 $171.80
$168.60 $189.80
$186.30 $209.70
$203.90 $229.40
$252 $283.50

TOKYO SLUM RIOT
TOKYO—Tokyo got a taste of
the long, hot summer Thursday
night when an angry crowd on
2,500 slum dwellers rioted and
stormed a police station, setting
fire to nearby buildings.
Authorities said the riot was
triggered by a misunderstand
ing. They said police were
putting a man injured in a
traffic accident into an ambu
lance in Tokyo’s Sanya slum
when persons in a nearby crowd
began yelling, “the police are
unjustly arresting one of us.”
The crowd grew to a mob of
2,500 persons who stormed the
district police station during the
hot, muggy night. More than 800
helmeted police were rushed in
but it took hours before order
was restored.
Several persons were injured
and 16 others were arrested.
Hundreds of windows were
smashed.

TOLL MOUNTS
NEW DELHI. India (UPD-
Officials said the death toll rose
to 90 Thursday among Madras
state residents who drank
varnish to celebrate the New
Moon Festival. Scores of others
were hospitalized in Madras and
surrounding towns. Madras
officials Wednesday banned
varsish sales throughout the
state in which normal alcoholic
beverages are forbidden.
It appears from the story appearing on the front
page of the Griffin Daily News of August 15th that
I was in error concerning the Spalding School Board
taking the actual vote to consolidate schools at a
closed session.
The Griffin News writer seems to be the only one
who understood at the time the public and news re
presentatives were asked to leave, after other routine
matters were discussed, that this was for an executive
session and that the meeting was to be opened again
after this executive session for a vote on the action to
consolidate the schools.
Therefore, I am happy to retract the part of my
statement saying the vote was taken behind dosed
doors and hope the board meetings will continue open
to the public in the future with a MINIMUM of execu
tive sessions.
In the light of having made this retraction I would
like to add since all information received by me be
fore the so-called public hearing, and from everything
occurring at the so-called public hearing as well as
those reported as occurring at the board meeting
thereafter, that such a vote appears to be a mere for
mality as the matter had apparently been cut and
dried before the public hearing was called and the
inclusion or exclusion of the press and public would
amount to little or nothing.
