Delegates at the Canadian in- stitute on mental health serv- ices said Tuesday a mixing of the sexes would raise standards of behavior and treatment and speed the return of mental pa- tients to the community. They recommended that no new mental hospitals with seg- regated facilities be built in Canada. Dr. H. C. Moorhouse, medical superintendent of the Ontario {Hospital at New Toronto, said abolition of segregation would do more to improve conditions in mental hospitals than uniting the separate nursing staffs for male and female patients. Unification of nursing staffs is proposed in one of six study. reports placed before the con- vention by a committee of the 14 Burn To Death In German Blaze NUERNBERG, Germany |frew South, scene of one of the \byelections.

The junta was installed sev- eral hours after troops backed by tanks fired into a defiant crowd of hundreds in the heart of the capital, killing at least four persons and wounding 20. The shooting touched off the most violent rioting in the city in. months, and demands mounted for the resignations of Balaguer and his armed forces chief, Gen. Pedro Rodriguez Echavarria, who had been ac- cused of planning to set up a military dictatorship. The junta--four civilians and three military men--took over the government from the all- civilian seven-man council of state which had ruled for 16 days. The council, headed by Balaguer, was installed to guide the Caribbean island country for 13 months toward its first |free elections after 31 years of jdictatorship by the late gener- jalissimo Rafael Trujillo. DRAWS IMMEDIATE FIRE The change in government drew immediate fire from the National Civic Union, the larg- est anti-Trujillo faction, and the leader of the opposition to Ba- laguer. Radio Caribe, a government station, said the new junta will rule until Feb. 27, 1963, the same time Balaguer had set for an elected government to take over. The junta, to rule without a presiding officer, retained two bers of the deposed coun- cil--Antonio Imbert and Luis Amiamatio, only survivors of the band of 12 that plotted Tru- jillo's assassination last May. The shooting broke out after Kekkonen Clinches New 6-Year Term HELINSKI (Reuters) -- Pres- ident Urho Kekkonen virtually clinched another six-year term of office in final returns today from the two-day Finnish pres- idential elections that ended Tuesday. Kekkonen won 145 seats in the 300-seat electoral college in a polf that brought a record turn- out of 78 per cent of the 2,750,- 000 electorate. His guaranteed electoral total was six short of the minimum majority of 151 required for: his election when the electoral col- lege meets to vote for. a presi- dent Feb. 15. But he also has the support of a large number of individual elector-candidates from the Lib- eral Finnish Popular party, the Conservatives and the Swedish Popular party, which among them won 53 electoral votes. BLOODY RIOTS END DOMINICAN REGIME Civil-Military Junta In Control a crowd of about 500 massed in Independence Park across from Civic Union headquarters. Targets of the demonstration appeared to be Balaguer, a holdover from the Trujillo era who had been dragging his feet on his promise to resign, and Gen. Rodriguez Echavarria. UNABLE TO COPE Police. were unable to cope with the demonstrators. Then troops and about six tanks moved into the square. Troops on one of the tanks opened fire and the crowd dived for cover. The shooting brought thou- sands. storming into the streets. They overturned trash cans, hurled stones and set fire to a theatre. Troops moved into re- inforce police and cleared the streets in two hours. A dusk-to- dawn curfew was enforced. Thus, eight months of strife and disorder following the Tru- jillo assassination finally forced Balageur out of the government. Rirliner Sales To Red China Certain In U.K. LONDON (AP)--Britain will go ahead with sales of six Vis- count jet airliners to Red China despite a new American bid to block the deal, government of- ficials reported Tuesday night. The foreign office at the same time moved to check reports the United States has banned the supply of certain strategic equipment used in the Vis- counts. An authorized source disputed the right of the Washington ad- ministration to apply its regula- tions in Britain. These developments signalled a fresh phase in the 12-year British-American dispute over relations with Red China. Brit- ain has recognized the Peking regime but the U.S. has not. London hopes to follow up the $10,000,000 Viscount deal with the sale of dozens of other air- liners, fuel oil and industrial goods on easy credit terms. Washington frowns on all such trade. The American bid to bar the transaction was disclosed Mon- day by the assistant state sec- retary, Frederick Dutton. He told Senator Kenneth Keating (Rep. N.Y.) in a letter that the American company whose Brit- ish offshoot makes navigation and radar gear for Viscounts has been warned not to supply the equipment. The British source said: "It is the policy of Her Maj- esty's government to honor all contracts entered into by this country. This sale therefore will go forward.
