LXIV, No. 63 ANN ARBOR, MICHIGAN, SUNDAY, DECEMBER 6, 1953 EIGHT PAGES ii Commission Views State Mental Units Hospital Officials Defend 'U' Plans By GAYLE GREENE Controversy over Michigan mental facilities for children is be- ing kindled again by a sharp blast at the proposed University Neu- ropsychiatric Unit to aid child mental disorders. The Michigan Mental Health Commission is planning to renew the fight for its own cottage type hospital at Northville and oppose University plans. In analysing the inadequacy of University facili- ties, the Commission has renewed its accusation that the Neuropsy- chiatric Unit will be used "pri- marily for teaching and research" } whereas the "Commission would stress treatment above other con- siderations." TWO University Hospital ad- ministrators sharply denied the charges. "I don't think any hospi- tal could have more of a service function than ours," Dr. Ralph Rabinovitch, chief of children's services said. Both he and Dr. Raymond Waggoner, Director of the University's Institute agreed, "You can't place one above the other. We teach and do research through service." The doctors reiterated a de- fense of the present 25-bed unit saying they had accepted all re- ferrals to the limits of capacity, administered therapy, and re- corded improvement in 75 per- cent of the. cases. "With ten thousand out patient visits a year, I'd hardly call it a 're- search unit'," Dr. Waggoner said. "That's many times more outpatients than are handled by any single unit of any .other state hospital." "We are anxious and ready to cooperate with the Mental'Health Commission," he added, "as we are deeply concerne with the mental health of Michigan's children and they ought to be too." ONE OFFICIAL wondered why the Commission kept bringing up the same accusations since "they are not seeking to replace our unit, but rather to supplement it." "I don't understand why they nake a public issue out of it," he continued. "We have never resorted to this type of name- calling and senseless charges." Dr. Waggoner and Dr. Rabino- vitch felt that a prime advantage1 in combining training and re- search with service is the student attendent. Most of the counselors1 in University Hospital facilities' are graduate students: physicians,! medical students, clinical psychol- ogists and public health majors. t "As a result," Dr. Rabinovitch1 pointed out, "the average attend- ant has an I.Q. of 130." He believes this to be one of the reasons the State Legislature is anxious to have the children's mental health unit at the -University. * * * WITH STUDENT personnel, the hospital avoids the problem of union restrictions, which is re- portedly one of the factors in the chaos uncovered at Wayne Gen- eral Hospital and Infirmary. "I wonder where they will get their therapists," Dr. Waggoner said. "They have never been able to fully staff their adult unit at1 See CONTROVERSY, Page 2 7 'U' Survey Reveals Minor Party Shifts Research Center's Study Shows Democrats Crossed Party Lines By PAT ROELOFS and BECKY CONRAD Flanked by two surveys on "Party Identification," the University Research Center yesterday reported the number of citizens of voting age calling temselves Republicans and Democrats "has not changed significantly" since 1948 despite a turnover in Washington. The October, 1952 random survey, contacting 2,000 persons in 66 counties all over the nation, found 47 per cent of those interviewed thought of themselves as Democrats compared to 27 per cent con- sidering themselves Republicans 1 even though the vote did not fall Local LfYLthat way. Report 100 Subpoenaed In Michigan Inclusion of 'U' Students Denied Between 75 and 100 residents of Detroit and other Michigan communities have been subpoena- ed to testify before the 11ouse un- American Activities Committee when it opens hearing in Detroit early in January, according 'to a Detroit newspaper.

Fast cited the Curies, Sergi Pro- kofieff, Dmitri Shostakovitch' Sean O'Casey and Pablo Picasso in an attempt to -substantiate his claim. SPEAKING before 25 people gathered off-campus in a privatej home,rFast said "any university consists of frightened people. That you (the audience) should come in an underground capacity, deny- iy any meeting at all, is a fright- ening commentary on what exists today,' he added. Terming himself, "the most widely read writer on the face of the earth," Fast asserted "I am still forbidden to speak in a public place in Ann Arbor. How- ever, if Velde or McCarthy came here, he claimed, they would be granted the largest hall on cam- pus. SCommenting on his personal history, the author said, "I have considered myself for many years a Marxist and came from' the working class." For eight years I have raised my voice and warned, pleaded, shouted and wrote on this "police state tyranny" and budding totalitarianism that is turning what is good into what is bad, and vice verse, he continued. "I saw the operation of this machine of silence and intimida- tion go into action," he said, ex- plaining that publishers became so unwilling to accept his books that he had to publish them *. * * . IN A question period following the author's address, Fast was ask- ed why there is not complete free- dom to travel from the Soviet Un- ion. In reply, the author, who said that for four years he has been' denied a passport to leave the country, returned the' question, "are not hundreds of Americans not free to leave the United; States?" This country is the only nation in the area termed the "Free World" that does restrict passports, Fast said.

SOUNDINGS from a poll taken this October showed these propor- tions had not changed in the past; year. One out of five of the votesj Eisenhower received came from Democrats who crossed party lines. Independent voters, also went for Ike by a two-to-one margin, the study revealed. Between the two polls there wasI a campaign, election and a turn- over in Washington. Director of the University Survey Research Center Angus Campbell pointed out, "If everyone voted the party line, the GOP would go out of' business." ** * CAMPBELL noted that the de- pression and FDR managed to break loose some from the Re-; publican camp who have now be- come regular Democrats. Motivations to vote, he ex- plained, fall into three cate- gories: 1. Is the potential voter strong- ly identified with a party or does he stand to gain from the victory of a particular party?- 2. Is he stirred up over cer- tain issues and see the election as a means to do something about them? 3. Do the candidates inspire respect? He indicated the "personal at- traction of Ike outdistanced any- thing the Democrats had to offer." SECONDLY, voters moved to the GOP issue position, he claim- ed. Foreign policy, "quiescent in 1948," grew to a prominent stand in 1952. General Eisenhower was' able to do something about the Korean action. Voters didn't view Stevensona"as relevant to the hwar," he said. The Korean situation seemed to illustrate a growing dissatis- faction with American foreign affairs, Campbell pointed out, explaining "the population had moved to an isolationist stand." "Almost none of the switching Democrats were as Republican on issues as the old-line GOP fol- lowers," according to Campbell. They moved into a "middle posi- tion," he explained. * .' * HOWEVER, in the South, they took a position similar to regular Republicans there. Southern swit- ching Democrats supported Ike and GOP policy stands. Crucial problem with the poli- ticians, according to Campbell, is, "Will switching Democrats stay with the Republicans?" Although the Survey revealed 20 to 30 per cent of those interview- ed, mentioned corruption in gov- ernment, Korea, taxes and high prices, only three per cent made any reference to McCarthy and Communism in America. * * - was not so important as radio and newspaper publicity might See VOTE, Page 2 out. REPORTS in the Detroit Times indicate that University students were included in the group receiv- ing subpoenas. However, Univer- sity Vice-President Marvin L. Nie- huss said last night "we have had no information or indication from the Clardy committee - that any students have'been or will be call- ed." Other groups implicated in the Times story were members of labor unions and leaders of alleged Communist front organ- izations.

Survey -Shows 56 Religions On Cam pus A total of 56 different religions are represented by students en- rolled at the University this fall, according to the results of a census compiled by Lane 'Hall. The 2.302 Catholic students on campus form the largest single re- ligious group, with those' of Jewish and Methodist denomination fol- lowing close behind, with 1,953 and 1,874 members, respectively. OTHER religious groups repre-i sented by more than 1,000 stud- dents are Presbyterian with 1,663, and Episcopalian with 1,235. Of the 15,504 students includ- ed in 'the poll, 2,412 listed no religious preference.
