\ MODERN PSYCHOLOGY E NDS LONDON (Reuters) -- King George Ill, generally re- garded as a "mad monarch" who lost Britain its American colonies, was not mentally ill in the accepted sense, doc- tors reported today. Two British medical re- searchers--with the help of the king's great-great-great- great granddaughter, Queen Elizabeth Il--have discovered George ITI was suffering from a classic case of porphyria, defined by medical dictionar- ies as a pathological state brought on by genetic factors. "The discovery clears the royal house of Hannover of an hereditary taint of madness imputed to it by the long-sus- tained but erroneous' interpre- tation of the king's illness," the experts say. Writing in the current issue of the British Medical Jour- | a a tne iiGG iMondgrcn be Dr. Richard Hunter, mother and son, and both members of the Royal College of Physi- cians, say they plowed through acres of antique med- ical bulletins, documents, let- ters, diaries and books, to seek the reai cause of the king's so-called madness. "This study allows the cer- tain conclusion George III's malady was not mental in the accepted sense, in whatever old or modern terms it may be couched. SUFFERED SEVERELY "His Jong and sorrowful ill- ness, in which he suffered severely from his affliction, pitifully from his. treatments, and miserably from his man- agement, takes on a new im- portance in the -annals of medical history as the first description of a rare meta- bolic disorder not even today G The royal malady also was unique in that it was contin- ually documented over 58 years, with sons replacing fathers as the king's physi- cians, the article says. The doctors' research showed the assumption King George Ill was neurotic also would have to be revised, since porphyria would render its victims restless, hurried, agitated and impulsive--espe- cially in minor attacks that go unrecognized. Until now, all these symp- toms had been held up as evidence of the king's neu- rotic state. The search for evidence led the two doctors through Wind- sor Castle, Lambeth Palace-- residence of the Archbishop of Canterbury--the House of Lords and the royal archives. eived ee iii STIGMA ON KING GEORGE III | ao AN LY, Sp £1 4. --help from the Queen who supplied them with a clinical journal of Sir Henry Halford, one of the physicians to George III. DISEASE TRANSMITTED The researchers say the king's disease was of the type usually transmitted to blood relatives. They found the king's youngest sister, the hapless Queen Caroline of Denmark, who was banished by her husband, Christian VII, also died of the disease inher 24th year, in 1775. King George suffered from the disease, in bouts lasting from one to six months, from the age of 26. But none was recorded during the American war of independence, for which history has made him share the blame. isiOwmier studies have been devoted to the king's Jliness, both by American psychiatrists, in 1955 and 1965. One said. the king was a manic depressive and the other "undoubtedly psycho- tic."' Both ignored his physical suffering. Historians have been forced to rely on the diagnosis of manic depressive insanity or psychosis by the clinical pic- ture revealed by a study of the king's physicians, but daily records made this diag- nosis untenable. i The discovery of new medi- cal evidence 200 years after George III's first attack made it possible: to 'fit together all pieces of the enigma," Drs, Macalpine and Hunter say. The course of the royal malady read like a descrip- tion of a textbook case of porphyria, they say.

Elegantly - dressed voung women who normally would be insulted if someone tried to give them a lift hurry daintily into the snarled traf- fic and hop into cars with strangers. They stand on the edze of the sidewalks as they leave their jobs and, during the peak of the extended rush hour, wait for traffic lights to turn red, and accept rides as quickly as it is possible to make their way among the ears and trucks. . But even among these hitch- hikers, desperately in need of transportation home, there are the discriminating ones Some, in the fading evening light, rush into the middle of the 'street and, after a quick glance at the driver, hurry young even more quickly back to the curb. | It may take a few minutes | or longer before they accept | another invitation to enter a | car, or they may wait for a | half-full taxi-cab to come by, and squeeze in if the parties are going in the same gen- eral direction The taxi business has en- | joyed a boom during the | strike, as it normally does | during New York's rush hour, | but now taxis are permitted: | to pick up more than one fare--and arouse indignation among the passengers who feel they are being over-, charged And those New York work- | ers who don't wish to take a chance on hitchhiking, on the overcrowded and almost un- | available taxis, use bicycles, motor scooters, car pools and even roller skates | A spokesman for the Com- | merce and Industry Associa- tion estimated, that despite | the strike "at least 80 per cent" of the city's workers got to their jobs Thursday WILL HIT GAMBLING LONDON (AP)--Prime Minis ter Wilson's government gave natice Thursday it intends clamp down on Britain's panding gambling as. a evil, George Thomas, to ex ocial parlia- mentary secretary at the home| office, told a public meeting: | "The time has come to strike) a note of warning to the na- tion.
