MIAMI, Fin. (AP) A sifinll boy's discovery of "a funny bug" on the family dog and a mother's memory of a nine-year-old newspaper story may have saved 0-ycar-old Cynthia Frame's life. The rod-haired girl tottered into her parents' bedroom Monday and told Mrs.

David Frame that she couidn't walk properly. Mrs. Frame told Cynthia, "Your logs are probably still asleep." Hours later. Cynthia still could not walk properly, so Mrs. Frame took the child to a pediatrician.

Mrs. Frame said the pediatrician referred them to a neurologist, and he could find no reason for her problems. When Cynthia awoke Tuesday, she was worse. "I woke up and couldn't turn over In bod," she said, "I screamed for my father." Cynthia was unable to walk or control her arms and was having difficulty speaking. David Frame, a Dade County Fire Department captain, said Cynthia again was taken to a physician.

"The doctor said he thought it was something with a name a mile long that doesn't often strike children Cynthia's age but can go away in 48 hours. He said we should just wait," Frame said. It was then that 6-year-old John Frame told his parents he had found "a funny bug" on the family dog, Missy. Mrs. Frame said she immediately recalled a newspaper story she read nine years before about a similar disease.

Gov. Hail's special adviser on education, is named interim president of what college? "We both said, and ran to Cynthia." They found a swollen wood tick embedded in Cynthia's neck under her flowing red hair. A doctor removed the tick with tweezers, and within hours Cynthia was well enough to walk down the street to visit a girl friend. A spokesman for the Dade County Health Department said pregnant ticks produce an organic-toxin which prevents nerves from transmitting impulses to muscles. "It (the toxin) definitely can kill if it reaches the point where the muscles which control breathing become affected, but it is reversible right up to the point of death by removing the tick." "The toxin is produced only by gravid female ticks.

Males and nonpregnant females don't produce it. Ticks also can cause Rocky Mountain spotted fever, but we've never seen a case of it from Florida ticks," the spokesman said. Frame said Cynthia apparently picked up the tick during a family camping trip last week. By Thursday she was able to resume her play with the neighborhood children, the dog was given cost jobs at Norman. 3.

IS F'iWiiv Guardian In a precedenl-sctting ruling, a panel of three Oklahoma County district judges Thursday ruled a state-employed court reporter cannot collect on her county retirement fund until she quits her present job.

The ruling was announced Thursday afternoon by Dist. Judge Homer Smith, to whom the case had been assigned. Judge Smith had received permission to consult Dist. Judges Jack Parr and Harold Theus and rule as a panel on the touchy, technical question. No Precedent There was no law or previous court cases on which the judges could rest and they based their decision on a highly technical legal point.

The case had been brought by Olivia Garner, a court reporter tor Associate Dist. Judge Traub. Before judicial reform in 19C9, she was a court reporter for Associate Dist. Judge C. J.

Blinn, then a county judge, and was employed by the county. She was a member of the county retirement fund. In 1969, court reporters became state employees, and after two law changes by the state legislature, she was allowed to make a choice between being a member of the state and county retirement funds. Status Changed She chose the county fund and in February 1972, she had been in (he fund over 15 years and believed she was eligible for benefits while staying on the job. The court- ruled that she in effect contracted with the county fund while in the capacity of a court reporter and that until her status changed she could not receive any benefits.

They said it made no difference that she was being paid by the stare. Bill Funk, assistant district attorney, said he believed the court ruling indicated that if lite woman quit as court reporter, got a different state job and discontinued her status with the county fund, she would be eligible for benefits. Importance Ciled Funk as representative of the county employees retirement fund board which refused to pay benefits to the woman, had argued she had not. fulfilled all requirements of law which initiated the fund program. Suit Filed To Condemn Pike Access The Oklahoma Turnpike Authority Thursday filed condemnation proceedings against 1S1.4 acres of land in Noble County.

Naming the U.S. government, the Federal Land Bank of Wichita, Kansas, and 37 individuals as defendants, the authority said the land was required for construction of the Cimarron Turnpike. Contending that the federal government is a necessary party to the suit-several of the individuals named are Otoe Indians and some of the land is reserved by federal law for them the state said it had "made every reasonable, diligent, good faith effort to acquire such premises by negotiation and purchase." but the defendants had refused to sell. Pointing out that the Turnpike Authority has the power of "eminent domain." and could normally-take the property, Winfrey D. Houston, the Stillwater attorney representing the turnpike authority, argued that the land Is necessary if the turnpike from Tulsa to 1-35, at Stillwater, is to be constructed.

A hearing on the complaint has been set for Aug. A at in a.m. beforp Dist. Judge Stephen S. Chandler.

Black Claim Of Neglect Gains Zero NORMAN Charges of neglecting black student needs at the University of Oklahoma were scoffed at Thursday by OU adminis-traiors and student government leaders.

Spokes men for the Black People's Union on campus recently have voiced dissatisfaction that black students at OU no longer have a cultural center. "It's true that black students no longer have a house in which to maintain a cultural center." Dr. John R. Morris, vice president for the university community, said Thursday. Morris said the black organization lost its lease on the cultural center almost two months ago.

"I really don't know what the situation is for next year or whether the university can assist the students in obtaining a new center," he added. The BPU currently is maintaining two offices in Ellison Hall, which also houses the OU student government, said Morris. Wilbur Walker, a black administrator who serves as presidential assistant to Dr. Paul Sharp, said he was not prepared to comment on the black student complaints. "At this moment, I have no idea if any plans are underway to get the students a new cultural center," he said.

Student government leaders also pleaded ignorant when questioned on what was being done to satisfy the blacks on cam- Friday, First As- i Church.

BGra" ifae Service1 In in" offi SMITH E- IW6 SW it Services 10 PARMETER New York Times Service WASHINGTON Psychology may be more important than meterology in explaining the south's disproportionately high death rate from tornadoes, a report by two scientists suggests. The two men, a psychiatrist and a geographer, invoke the psychology factor to help explain what they call "a puzzling phenomenon the disproportionately higher frequency of tornado-caused deaths in the south" Their report cites earlier studies showing that the south has far higher tornado death rates than other sections of the United Slates in terms of deaths per 1,900 square miles and deaths by population, After disposing of the conventional explanations, including strength and frequency of tornadoes and total population at risk, they suggest that an important fact may be the inhabitants' attitude toward life and events. The authors sampled this in a questionnaire given to a small group in Illinois and a roughly comparable group in Alabama.

The results, the report said, showed a sharp difference in altitude. The point of view prevalent in the southern sample was passive and fatalistic while that in Illinois could be summed up by the expression: "God helps those who help themselves." "These data suggest that southerners place more weight 1han northerners on a force external to themselves God as a casual acent in their lives," said the report. "They consequently feel themselves to have relatively less power in the determination of their own futures." Another striking difference, the au- thors said, was the attitude toward tornado warnings. The questionnaire asked the respondents' opinions on the best way of identifying tornado weather. Almost half of those in Illinois op1-ed for listening to weather broadcasts or watching the barometer.

The most common answer in Alabama was "using one's own senses; for example, watching the shape of the clouds. "Fatalism, passivity, and perhaps most important, lack of trust in and inattention to society's organized systems of warning constitute a weak defense against the terrible strike of the tornado," said the report in the current issue of Science, the weekly technical journal of the American Association for the Advancement of Science. The authors are Dr. John H. Sims, assistant professor of psychiatry, University of Chicago, and Dr.

Duane D. Baumann, associate professor of geography, Southern Illinois University, Carbondale. They emphasized that tornado death rates almost certainly depend on a multiplicity of factors "of which psycho-iugiutl aiiliutie Is only one, but the authors said the traditional explanations including storm strength and quality of housing need to be re-examined. "Our point is, rather, to emphasize the obvious, but so often neglected (or avoided), relation of man himself to the problem of natural hazards," they declared. The region defined as the South in this report includes Alabama, Mississippi, Tennessee, Kentucky, Arkansas, most of Georgia, Okahoma and eastern Texas and the southern part of Missouri.
