H.M.S. Bounty, an arm- ed transport Christian seized from Capt. William Bligh off Ta- hiti in April 1789. She lies, the Geographic said, 100 yards off Ship Landing Point on Pitcairn Island, where the mutineers burned and scuttled her. The Geographic's scoop was leisurely in the making. Four years ago Luis Marden, a 44- year-old Geographic writer-pho- tographer,' wandered into the Royal Museum in Suva, capital of the Fiji islands. There, he saw Bounty's rudder, dredged up by a Pitcairn fisherman in 1934. Ex- cited, Marden requested permis- sion to search for the rest of the ship. His bosses were enthusias- tic, but in the manner of the Geographic, unhurried. Three years later`, Marden ar- rived at Pitcairn, laden with an "rather more than to his under- lying emotional sickness." Despite the obvious hazards of the open-door policy, more and more state mental institu- tions, quietly and withort publi- city, are trying out the system in this country. ,"Opening the doors is a matter of staff, confi- dence," a hospital psychiatrist said last week. "Of course, there is an element of danger, but we must •accept it if we are to help the mental patient, first in the free atmosphere of the hospital, and then in the outside world." —From NEWSWEEK. Aqua-lung, Admirality plans of the Bounty, and a conviction that finding the remains "would be child's play." For six weeks Mar- den searched the sandy bottom on a line drawn between Ship Landing Point and the spot where the rudder had been found far off the line. "Then r came on two long, sandy-brown trenches. I stuck my face within 6 inches of the bottom. It was covered with white-chalk sqUiggles, looking like white worms." Marden thought they might be sheathing nails. He shoved a chisel into the sand, and " a puff of black smoke came up." That was ,he realized, carbonized wood. And that was the Bounty. Why had the Geographic wait- ed so long to publish its news? "The gestation period of one of our stories," Marden said, "is even longer than a man's.—From NEWSWEEK. Siegfried Waselberger accept- ed the challenge to "walk" the 173 miles from Salzburg to Vien- na, Austria, on his hands. His daily schedule was two miles, and every hundred yards- or so he stopped, rested and took refreshments. And he won his bet! elude an outsize plaster mer- maid, elephant, stagecoach, char- ioteer, sphinx, racehorse, som- brero, and camels. Despite these gewgaws, main attractions -are washing machines, social direc- tors, baby sitters, playrooms with nursery-school teachers, ice machines, beauty contests, and free dancing lessons. Norman Giller, who designed many of the new motels along the strip, is .a great believer in the come-on; "You've got to catch the eye of a motorist whiz- zing by at 50 miles an hour. Once you get him, you've got to keep him busy," Cocktail part- ies and kiddie shows are fea- tured. Never at a loss for new come- ons, more than one owner is already dreaming of an "out of this world" motel, with an out- size plaster sputnik inevitably planted on Miami's motel, row.

Weald the like to come back? he asked. ",Would YOU like Me to coiner was tier timid reply. Reaseure ed, the girl returned to the hos- pital the same evening and con- armed treatment. Through sympathetic ques- tioning, the attending doctor learned that even in a pleasant "open ward," where she was free to come and go at will, the depressed young patient had felt rejected, unloved, and abandon- ed. Subconsciously, the purpose of her walkout was to prove whether or not the (lectors and nurses really were interested in her cases At a recent meeting in Atlan- tic City of the National Associa- tion for Mental. Health, scores of psychiatrists and hospital su- perintendents listened to this and other stories of a trend, even in state mental install- teens, toward the removal of door locks and window bare in psychiatric hospitals. "The old locked-door policy has deleterious effects on both patients and the staff," Dr. Mil- ton Rosenbaum, psychiatrist at the Albert Einstein `College of Medicine, told his colleagues. "It still represents . . . the un- derlying fear and hostility of the community, including its doctors, towards the mental cases." In the Bronx Municipal Hos- pital Center, where Dr. Rosen- baum is chairman, "we have es- tablished open wards, and fur- thermore, there is no segrega- tion of men and women on any of our wards. The effect of an occasional walkout," he added, "is almost negligible." In fact, the patient's behavior while he seeks his freedom, can, as in the ease of the timid girl patient, provide valuable clues to the sick person's mental disorder. Contrary to public opinion, the vast majority of mental pa- tients are not violent. They are more like a flock of sheep, standing around waiting for someone in authority to tell them what to do next. So long as they are kept behind barred doors and windows, herded to meals, to exercise, and to bed by nurses and attendants with large bunches of clanking keys, the sick men and women will re- main quiet and apathetic, or childishly angry and irrespon- sible. "Many of a patient's most serious symptoms are due to the unnatural environment of locked doors and completely directed activities," said Dr. Rosenbaum, In 69 years of publishing, the yellow-backed National Geogra- phic has built a circulation of 2.2 million copies a month, dis- covered the nesting place of the bristle-thighed curlew (south- western Alaska) sent two Army Air Corps officers higher into space than any man had ever gone before (72,395 feet in 1935),• and dropped Dr, William Beebe and his bathysphere deeper into the sea than man had ever dived before (3,028 feet in 1934).

London Hassle, Over 'SS. cetSf' Kilts The trouble with England is that there lust are not enough .$cots in it — yet. This has been proven again by the astonishing events of the past few days, These events hare culminated in the forced resignation of two cOlancls-of,the,regirnent, both of whom of course, are actually generals, and have left White- hall with a verra cleefeecult Problem, That problem is to And a regi- mental colonel who will agree to deprive lads frae Glasgow and members of the Highland Light Infantry of the 'right to wear the kilt, and who then will find a way of doing it. The hassle began in July when, as part of the reduction and reorganization of the British Army, the Royal Scots Fusiliers and the Highland Light Infantry were instructed ,19 amalgamate. At the time all the experts north of the border were agreed the amalgamation would no be sumple. For the Fusiliers are Lowlanders while the Light In- fantry are Highlanders. . ,weren't as if that eren't enough, the Fusiliers are recruited main- ly from Ayrshire country lads while the HLI has the pick of. the townsmen of Glasgow — writes John Allan May in "The Christian Science Monitor," And then, of course, the regi- ments dress differently. They sport different tartans. And the Lowlanders wear trews (tight- fitting tartan trousers), whereas the Highlanders aye stick to the kilt, Sae great were the seeming difficulties that the Prime Min- ister, Harold Macmillan "himself no less, had to write a letter pointing out that the alternative to •amalgamation would be dis- bandment. So the colonels on both regi- ments, Maj. Gen. Edmund Hake- will Smith and Maj, Gen. Rob- ert Urquhart, set to and fought out a reasonable compromise. The compromise was that the Royal Scots Fusiliers agreed to discard their trews and wear the kilt, provided it was in their own tartan,, the dress Erskine; while the Highland Light Infan- try agreed to give up its tartan, -the Mackenzie, provided the new regiment wore the kilt. A suitable' title was thought up for a kilted regiment in a Lowland brigade—for the new regiment is to be part of a Low- land group even though it con- tains Highlanders — and the name was approved by the Lord Lyon King of Arms, than whom one can hardly go higher in heraldry and in tradition. The two colonels, or generals, then took their plan to the War Office, with some pride. They were. at once urged to resign. Believe it or not the. Sas- senachs in Whitehall already ,had decided that the amalga. mated regiment is going to wear trews and that's fiat. The two regiments now are being asked to .recommend suc- cessors to the colonels who were forced to resign and to find a new compromise so long as there is no mention of kilts. The Times, of London, under the headline "Ineptitude Un- limited," declares: "An extra delicacy should, sweeten White- hall's dealing with Scotland, where resentment, against an alien bureaucracy is easily awakened. Too often an extra ham-fistedness is what is actu- ally achieved." The sentiment is versa fine. But ye can tell the paper's printed in London: On the same day it places its report abodt developments in the Hebrides squarely- on page eight under the general head- ing, "Imperial and foreign news." O'ch, aye. They need more Scots doon here. FISHERMAN'S 'MICK On the river bank a passer-by stopped and asked an angler: "Having any luck?" "Pretty good," replied the angler. "I haven't had a bite for three hours." • "That doesn't sound Very good to me," said the other. "What makes you think it's good?" "you see that man over there?" pointed but the angler, "Well, he hasn't had a bite for six hours." MERRY MENAGERIE tiAgeo 4.Wilik it.
