Four More Electrical Firm Heads Start Jail Terms Today PHILADELPHIA (AP) Four high-salaried electrical firm -executives surrendered today to start 30-day jail terms for fixing prices and rigging bids in Amer ica's biggest federal antitrust' case. Dressed in conservative busi ness suits, and accompanied only by their attorneys, they arrived from 5 to 20 minutes before they had been ordered to surrender. All appeared glum. After fingerprinting them, U.S. Marshal William O'Brien said he would handcuff them two to each handcuff and then drive them in two automobiles to the Mont gomery County Prison in nearby Norristown. At Norristown, they will join two Westinghouse executives who asked to start their 30-day terms last Friday three days early. Beginning their terms today are William S. Ginn, 45, a General Electric vice president from Sche nectady, N. Y.; George E. Burens a GE vice president who lives in Cleveland.

The psychologist says patients fear of the chair produces several situations, including cancellation of appointments at the last, minute nr coming in laie. upseiung m dentist'i schedule. Other patients delay paying their bills, says Dr. Gitlin. He says it's their way of saying to tha dentist: "You hurt me. Now it's my turn to hurt you." Everyday experiences sucn as these often leave dentists in a stale of frustration and tension, claims Dr. Gitlin. i "How many times," asks Dr. Gitlin, "has a dentist wished he could dig a little deeper with a probe, or drill a little longer, In order to retaliate. for some hostile art that a ' patient directed his way?"

He said colleges and high schools alike have a greater re sponsibility than they are now as suming to see that the right stu dent goes to the right college. Mistakes are too costly, Mi chael said, "for the failure in one college can mean the end o a youth's education." with so per cent ot me nation s high school graduates now going on to college, Michael said, prep aration for couege is a primary function of the secondary schools. This means, he said, that aca demic programs must he given more emphasis in high school, and standards of achievement must be raised. Michael praised the advanced placement program of the College Entrance Examination Board as "perhaps the best plan for coop erative action in the curriculum between school and college."

Dean Stephen Komine of the University of Colorado told the convention that population explo sion at the college-age level, plus the growing popularity of a col lege degree, is putting tremendous pressure on the colleges to be more selective in their enroll ments.
