(Continued frum Front Page)
James Marvin Windham, mem-
ber of the Board for State Hospi-
tals and Special Schools, arrived
and discussed the above mention-
ed ^grievances with the patients,
after the riot was over.
Dr. James A. Bethea, executive
director of the Board, arrived lat-
er, and was briefed by Windham
and Dr. Castner on the develop-
ments. Dr. Bethea’s first words
were: “I am so thankful Dr. Cast-
ner came out of this all right.”
Dr. Bethea is staying over for
more investigations, and confer-
ences.
Board member! Windham prom
ised to bring the matter up at the
next meeting of the Board.
Officials were all in agreement
that the hiring of more attends
ants would-be a big step forward
toward a solution.
A report of the injured as a re-
sult of this riot has been summed
] up as follows:
Dr. L. D. Hancock, 53, originally
of Houston, who has been in Rusk
since early February, got a lacer-
ation on the right side of the head,
five or six inches long, and a con-
cussion.
Clyde White, Ward supervisor,
received a possible broken jaw. He
was hit with a baseball bat, and
at press time, it was reported
swelling, increasingly.
W. H. Taylor, 58, attendant, was
hospitalized in the Rusk Memorial
Hospital. He was described by the
attending physician as being beat-
en up pretty badly. There were;
three long deep cuts on top of the
head, a broken right forearm, a
bone broken in the right hand,
three fingers on the left hand
broken, and unknown extent of
chest injuries.
Joe Taylor, 31, of Route 1, Jack-
sonville, attendant, was treated for
shock.
Report of the patients injured
include C. W. Patterson, age 64,
of San Antonio, who is a white1
trusty. The patient of 34 years at
the Rusk institution, was hospital-
ized as a result of a blow on top
of the head.
Robert Williams, 47, Negro, of,
Tulia in Swisher County, patient
for six years, was the first man,
to be assaulted. He received a bro-
ken jaw, two head wounds, and a
bone fracture of the left arm.
Mack Henry Crawford, 24, Ne-
gro of Austin, was hit on the head
with a mop handle, which was ani
accidental blow.
Eddie Crawford Wilson, 41, Ne-
gro of Austin, and patient for 7
months, received a minor bump by
a mop handle.
Frank Garrett, 34 year old Ne-
gro of Dallas, and patient for 12
months, was hit twice on the head,
cut once on the shoulder near the
neck with baseball bat and his left
hand was injured.
Pharoah Tilley, about 40, a pat-
ient of 12 years, is the most se
verely injured, and may not live.
He received injuries to the head,
crushing it, causing multiple frac-
tures of the skull. Nobody could,
explain why the madmen picked
on Tilley to give him such a beat-
ing.
Janet Rye of Arlington, who turn-
ed in a good performance; and a

Dr. & Mrs. Floyd
Brigham Attend
Polio Meeting
Dr. and Mrs. Floyd Brigham at-
tended a closed circuit TV pro
gram on Polio Vaccine at Dallas,
Tuesday, April 12.
Drs. Jonas Salk, Hart E* Vani
Riper, and Thomas Frances, Jr., j
participated in discussions and
demonstrations which some 50,000
doctors in the principal cities of
the nation viewed.
By means of graphs, previous
vaccines were compared with the
1955 vaccine and it w a s shown
that when properly given it is cap-
able of producing as high a degree
of immunity as is acquired by hav-
ing an active case of Polio. The
extreme safety of the vaccine was
also revealed.
A fellow who follows the horses
sure has to keep ahead of them.
This old world has too many
church members and too few
Christians.
Mother Nature takes care of her
foolish sons by providing wives to
Watch over them.
