spare time and parts Egan and his volunteers stripped the old flaking paint still needs engine cowlings and a new paint job Johnsen said it might also be adorned with a pinup girl a typical decoration on World War warplanes The F-106 was gutted of all usable parts saving the Air Force 91 million and given a new paint job by 318th maintenance crews Just as important to the museum as the two aircraft are the many photographs and vintage uniforms Johnson has collected He formed a non-profit organization of Air Force buffs who purchased display cases to contain photos uniforms uniform patches and a history of McChord In addition to more did photos flying gear documents and World War posters Johnsen is seeking male mannequins on which to display uniforms McCHORD AIR FORCE BASE (AP) Frederick

and a basement filled with boxes of memorabilia Sometime next month Johnsen base historian plans to move his makeshift museum into permanent quarters near a base runway where he has been keeping the planes a B-18 Bolo Bomber and an F-106 Delta Dart fighter The 1100-square-foot museum also is to contain office research and library space The bomber was the first aircraft assigned to the base when

treats sex offenders with new drug SEATTLE (AP) Dr Charles Tappin the first local physician to administer chemical castration to sex offenders says the injections must be accompanied by psychological counseling to be most effective give them something chemical to stop their drives then examine where their abnormal thoughts come said Tappin Tappin is a psychiatrist who used the drug Depo-Provera extensively on sex offenders in Germany in the late 1970s He has put seven volunteer patients on the drug in the last six months Depo-Provera combined with psychotherapy works better than any current treatment for sex offenders he claimed in a recent interview Known as Depo-Provera decreases a sex drive by reducing his testosterone level to less than that of the average woman The sexual psychopath program at Western State Hospital in Steilacoom does not use Depo-Provera says Maureen Saylor program director are thinking about exploring it she says and of itself it is not tee answer It does nothing to get at the basic Tappin agrees Depo-Provera is not the total answer but he contends that psychotherapy alone work either Depo-Provera does not make men impotant and its effects are temporary Tappin says When injections stop the testosterone level gradually returns to normal but most patients studied have not returned to pre-treatment behavior when taken off the drug National attention focused on the drug in recent months in the wake of some controversial legal actions around the country Courts in at least three states have given convicted sex offenders a choice of prison or weekly Depo-Provera shots Last spring the Oregon Legislature passed a law giving all violent sex offenders the chance to receive the hormone Critics of the treatment include the American Civil Liberties Union primary concern is the right to refuse medical said Kathleen Taylor executive director of ACLU are watching it to see what happens in this state doit know enough about its safety There is also the philosophical question of using a chemical that can change Depo-Provera has been used in 83 countries for long-term birth control but it is not approved for contraception in the United States because studies indicate it may cause cancer in female animus However doctors can prescribe the drug legally for other purposes Tappinbeli eves that the drug has been well tested and its risks for men are minimal but he opposes making its use mandatory individual should be educated about its use and be free to ke a said Tap-pin a specialist in the legal aspects of psychiatry should not be
