Nude Body of Girl, 6,
And Halloween Garb
Found in Cemetery
By »h« Associated tf»u
JOHNSTOWN, Pa., Oct. 29.
The nude body of a 6-year-old
girl—blood running from her
mouth—was found in a cemetery
early today hours after she dis
appeared while playing Hal
loween “trick or treat” games in
her neighborhood at suburban
Conemaugh.
Conemaugh Police Chief
George Fetsko identified the
child as Karen Mauk. He said
her face was bruised, “blood was
running from her mouth and
there were other marks on her
nude body.”
Earlier Deputy Cambria Coun
ty Coroner Richard P. Wilkin
son said there were “no visible
marks” on Karen’s body.
Autopsy Ordered.
Dr. Wilkinson ordered an au
topsy but said the results may
not be known until later today.
Steve Steffish, a member of
the Conemaugh Fire Depart
ment, found the body about
12:30 a.m. near the entrance
of a cemetery about two miles
from the home of Karen’s par
ents, Mr. and Mrs. William H.
Mauk.
Mrs. Mauk said she reluctant
ly gave the child permission to
leave the house about 7 p.m.
(EST) last night to take part
in neighborhood Halloween ac
tivities.
Mask Not Found.
The mother said the child
wore a white falseface and a
paper hat. The paper hat was
found near the body with shreds
of the child’s clothes. The Hal
loween mask has not been found.
Mrs. Mauk reported the child
missing about 9 p.m. when she
did not return home. Police said
the mother has not been able to
identify the other children Karen
Joined when she left the house.
Earlier in the evening the little
girl had been playing with a
cousin, Paul Lindenberg, 6. But
Mrs. Mauk said the child re
turned home after that and then
went out again.
Snakeroot Drug Aids ' Hopelessly ' Insane
Associated Burt*''
CHICAGO, Oct 29.—A re
search team today reported
“dramatic” and seemingly “In
credible” results in beating
“hopelessly” Insane patients with
a new form of an old snakeroot
remedy from India.
They said the drug, reserpine,
brought improvement in 80 per
cent of the 74 “back ward” men
tal hospital patients they treat
ed. Eight have been discharged
and 20 others have become so
much better with continued use
of the drug that they may be
sent home on leaves of absence.
Reserpipe also appeared to
help mentally retarded patients.
The doctors said reserpine
should not be regarded as a
“panacea in the treatment of the
mentally ill and mentally retard
ed.” However, il[ further studies
bear out their results, they add
ed, “reserpine will be the most
important therapeutic develop
ment in the history of psychi
atry.”
They said they expect lt to
revolutionize present psychiatric
treatment.
Reserpine is a chemically pure
derivative of rauwolfla serpeh

Daily 9:30 to 6, Except Thursdays *2:30 ta 9
tins. This Indian plant hks been
used for centuries in the treat
ment of mental illness, insomnia,
snake bite, anxiety states and
other conditions. Lately, lt has
been found effective in lowering
blood pressure in hypertensive
patients. /
The team of American physi
cians, Drs. Robert H. Noce and
David B. Williams of Modesto.
Calif., and Walter Rapaport of
Sacramento, investigated reser
pine because of recept enthusias
tic reports from Lidia on its
effectiveness in mental illness.
They selected for their study
only those mental patients at
Modesto State Hospital with the
poorest prospects for recovery.
Three of the patients had re
ceived over 100 electro-shock
treatments with no lasting bene
fits. Nine of them came from
maximum security wards where
many patients were secluded or
restrained on occasion by strait
Jackets.
Writing in the Journal of the
American Medical Association on
results obtained with the drug,
they said:
“At present on the wards
where patients are receiving
i reserpine, seclusion, restraint of
■ all types, sedation and electro
, convulsive therapy have been
t almost eliminated. It seems ln
i credible that a drug can re
: place electro-convulsive therapy
i in this manner, but apparently
such a drug has been-found and
we expect lt to revolutionize and
I facilitate modem psychiatric
. treatment.”
The drug apparently acts on
' the hypothalamus, the seat of
’ emotional behavior in the brain.
1 The doctors said the drug not
only exerts a tranquilizlng ac
f tion but “we believe that a ro
t organization of the personality
‘ is taking place in an amazing,
• rapid, satisfactory manner.”

: have arrested several members of
a band of smugglers supplying
