SILL, Okla.

(UPI) --Mess He had been absent without Sgt. Wilson Douglas Watson, 41, carries impressive credentials. He won the Medal of Honor leading an attack on two Japanese bunkers at Iwo Jima during World War H. He killed 60 Japanese soldiers firing a machine from the hip. Six times in battles on Guam and Iwo Jima enemy bullets hit lim.

He has been hi and out of lospitals in his 21 years of service to the United States in the Army, Air Force and Marines. Watson is without a doubt a lero. But today the Army considered desertion charges against him. He has been hospitalized at Ft. Sill "for a rest" and the hospital may file a report on his condition today.

Watson was arrested Thursday on the 100th anniversary of the founding of the Medal of Honor award at Marked Tree, Ark. where his wife and nine-year-old son were staying leave from Ft. Rucker, since last October. "He is not under arrest or detention," an Army spokesman said Friday after Watson was brought to Ft. Sill.

"No charges have been filed yet" The spokesman said no further action will be taken until an investigation into the circumstances is comTJlctBfl. Watson talked with Maj. Edwin S.

Week in Review Wilson Closer to Prime Minister Dream; JFK Talks of Recession United Press International For many years Harold Wilson ias yearned to become prime minister of Great Britain. And through these years Wilson must have felt he was indulging in wishful thinking. For one thing he was a member of the Labour party, which aas been out of power since the collapse of Clement Attlee's government 11 years ago. And in his own party two men were in higher positions. There was Hugh Gaitskell, the brilliant successor to AtUee as titular head of the party.

Then there was George Brown, the No. 2 man. The unexpected death of Gaitskell last December made Brown the heir apparent. But Wilson made a bid to grab the leadership from Brown and won it on the second ballot. Wilson's victory is significant because the Labour party has grown stronger in recent years and now is given a chance to win the next general election.

And such a victory would change Wilson's address to No. 10 Downing Street, thus fulfilling his dream. If Wilson is installed, he would, at age 46, become Britain's youngest prime minister. But youth no longer is an obstacle to the highest office in a land. As the pro Labour Daily Mirror of London put it: "Wilson belongs to President Kennedy's generation and the future belongs to the young." A United States was giving "greatest attention" to halting Castro's subversive activities in a i American countries.

Also Kennedy was believed to be making another move to prod Khrushchev into pulling his troops out of Cuba. Caracas: The government said dissident Communists had hi- iacked a Venezuelan ship. Informed sources said the freighter Anzoategui was heading for a Cuban port while Venezuelan slanes and ships hunted in the Caribbean for its whereabouts. Names in the news: Khrushchev: A few years ago le made his "we will bury you" remark but later said his boast was symbolic, that Americans fcemselves would discard capitalism for communism. In Moscow Friday Khrushchev went over to the Chinese ambassador, who was attending a reception for the lung of Laos, and greeted him as though he were a long-lost brother.

He told the envoy that "When we throw the last shovelful of dirt on the grave of capitalism, we will do it with China." Averell Harrlman: He was reported a strong possibility for replacing Undersecretary of State George C. McGhee, who may be moved to an overseas post. Harriman now is assistant secretary for far eastern affairs. Sgt. Wilson Douglas Wat-son: This World War II hero was re U.S., Soviet Chiefs May Be Called On to Break Disarmament Deadlock By K.C.

THALER United Press International GENEVA (UPI)-- U.S. presidential envoy William C. Foster today tried and failed in a face-to- face meeting with i trouble-shooter Vagsfli V. Kuznetsov to break the nuclear deadlock at the 17-nation disarmament conference, reliable sources said. The official U.S.

spokesman sand the two diplomats met to set procedure for the conference of which they are co-chairmen. The spokesman said agreed the talks should continue with all 17 nations taking part in full plenary session. But reliable sources said Kuznetsov, a Soviet first deputy foreign minister, again refused to approve vital Anglo-Ameri Soviet nuclear talks. According to the sources a meeting between President Kennedy and Premier Nikita Khrushchev may be the only way to break the deadlock. The sources saw no prospects for any immediate progress at the 17-nation disarmament conference here after Russia's "take it- or-leave it" statements Friday.

The conference resumed only last Tuesday after an eight-week recess. Conference officials said the decision needed to break the impasse are of such magnitude thai they probably will have to come directly from President Kennedy and Soviet Premier Nikita Chrushchev. With the conference hi weekend recess, U.S. chief negotiator Wiliam C. Foster went into strate- meetings with his Western col- eagues to try to find a way to crack the hard Soviet position.

Russians Dim Hope The Russians virtually slammed the door on worthwhile nuclear negotiations here when they told the conference Friday the West could nave a test ban only on the Kremlin's terms. They also re- iected Kennedy's plan for prevent- ng war by accident or miscalculation. Western delegation spokesmen iranded Russia's stand "totally uncompromising." They feared it leralded a new cold war spell in the aftermath of the Cuban crisis while the Soviet leadership ostensibly reviews its foreign policy. Friday Soviet Deputy Foreign Minister Vassili V. netsov tossed the test ban initiative over to the West and said the next move is up to Washington.

He said a test ban treaty is possible only if the West accepts the Soviet position on on-site inspections and other key points.

State Mental Hospitals Called Human Warehouses; Legislators Will Tour CHICAGO (UPI)--Illinois legislators today were invited to take a first-hand look at overcrowded conditions at two of the state's 17 mental institutions. One mental health expert laid the institutions were "human warehouses." Gov. Otto Kerner will lead one group of legislators in a visit to Lincoln State School, Lincoln, and Lt. Gov.

Samuel H. Shapiro wffl tour Jacksonville State Hospital at Jacksonville, with another group. The tours, sponsored by the Board of Mental Health Commissioners, will be held Tuesday. Lincoln State School, with a population of 5,156, considered to be the largest institution in the world caring for the mentally retarded. The Board of Mental Health Commissioners said the school is presently 38 per cent overcrowded.

"The deteriorated condition of many of the buildings increases the severe hardships under which the already overburdened staff members must care for patients, the board said in a statement The board despite the overcrowding, an additional 1,017 persons are waiting admission to Lincoln. Jacksonville State Hospital, established more than a century ago, it more than 32 per cect overcrowded, the board said. One patient has been at Jacksonville for 67 years. "Because of present understaffing and overcrowding, intensive individual treatment which might return patients to noraal lives INEWSPAPERif outside the institution is impossi trie," said Alex Elson, Chicago at torney and chairman of the Board of Mental Health Commissioners "For the most part," he said. "state schools and hospitals for the mentally ill and retarded serve as 'human which often care for patients from the time they enter the institution until death." Elson said legislators were in vited to tour the two institutions because authorization and financ ing of immediate relief for th? state's mental health program can come only through action by thr Illinois Legislature.

The tours, Elson said, win im plement the board's recently released report on current condition? in Illinois mental institutions and the projected program of the Department of Mental Health. He said successful treatment o' mental illness has been realized "on a very small scale" at Chicago State Hospital through the efforts of a well-trained team. "This remarkable achievement is a source of optimism," he said "With the development of the state's program for intensive care in community mental health facil ities, the achievements will b- multiplied." A recent Joint Commission Mental Illness and Health showed that more than half the patients in most state hof pitals receive no active treatment of any kind, Elson said.
