It's the "hard driving personali ties" who are often most likely to live, a psychologist has de clared. Dr. Leonard Wendland, psy chologist at Rancho Los Amigas, a county institution with the largest ward of polio "respirator cases" in the world, said these persons belonged to the class "who want to get ahead in a hurry." "They're the type of people who hold an eight-hour-a-day job with a correspondence course or some other self-betterment pro gram which takes four hours or so of their time evenings, ana who are building homes for themselves week ends," he said. Doesn't Know Why He confessed he didn't know why this is. but he intends find ing out. Right now he is collect ing psychological studies on two classes of "total" polio victims, those who die in "iron lungs" and those who adjust to mechani cal respirators so well that their life expectancies are not much lower than those of healthy per sons. Dr. Kenneth Landuer, assist ant medical director of the Na tional, Foundation for Infantile Paralysis, said there was no knowledge now that indicated one personality type was any more susceptible to polio than another. Fatigue Factor Studied But he pointed to the "fatigue factor. Experiments with ani mals have demonstrated that much physical exertion during the incubation of polio virus often results in severe paralysis. Experimental animals which were kept inactive during the in cubation period produced, -dig; matically fewer cases of per manent paralysis.

The "omelet" may con tain the secret of what's involved m setting up a breeding project for egg quality. going when they feel the first symptoms," he said. "The others go to bed." More 'Will' To Live But Dr. Wendland pointed out that hard drivers were more likely to "will" to live even though they couldn't move or breathe. The Rancho Los Amigos res pirator center maintained by the March of Dimes organization has at the moment 120 patients whose lives hang on mechanical breathers. A staff of 200 care for them, more staff than patients. Before a nurse or attendant can join the staff he or she must submit to being locked into an "iron lung." The rule is that every member of the staff caring for patients must understand what it is to be such a prisoner. i ii ' 1 i i S Sng ESTABLISHING FARM CREDIT BOARD, President Eisenhower signs bill Increasing farmer par ticipation in ownership and control of federal farm credit system.

Y. 4U.R) Offic ials at St. Lawrence University are taking a look into the past. They are studying items in a copper box removed from the cornerstone of the ruins of Fish er Hall. The box was left in the cornerstone at ceremonies Aug, 10, 1881. The building was de stroyed by fire in December, 1051. Among the mementos in the box were copies of local news papers, the St. Lawrence Plain Dealer and the Canton Commer cial Advertiser. Officials, also found some silver coins, vintage 1881, plus a revised version of the New Testament of 1881. Since the university was called St Lawrence Theological School In those days, religious items predominated in the collection. In that category is an outline of a sermon, "Angels," drawn by Dr. Ebenezer Fisher, after whom the building was named. College Ithaca Expansion Regretted Ithaca, N. Y.

When there's a rodeo, Jones decides it's time for a few days off and off he goes. Jones can sell automobiles and rodeos to other people but around his home it's a different story. He has three children, two boys and a girl. The girl likes rodeos but the boys don't Jones says he will practice more at home. Reporter Has Few Trying Times at Nudist Conclave By ALINE MOSBY United Press Correspondent San Bernadino, Calif. (U.R) r m glad it was a nice day, be cause I. was weaiing only lip stick and sunglasses. As the sole woman reporter at the American Sunbathing Asso ciation convention which ended yesterday, I had only a few try ing moments. The first was getting used to being without clothes. This lasted about three minutes. The second was rougher. I ran into four news photographers I know. ' Line of Duty We recognized each other and exchanged nervous laughs. It was all in the line of duty, we agreed. Reporters covering the nudists were required to strip down, and I was no exception. It may come as a shock to many readers, but a nudist camp is devoid of sex. If I didn't real ize this at first, the point was brought home to me when one girl "wore" a scarf which cov ered her bosom. Younger members around her whistled, and an elderly gentle man next to me said in a chilly tone, "you see what happens when people put on clothes?" Hold Fashion Show Hundreds of nudes in all shapes and sizes are not seduc tive. After seeing them, I feel that only Marilyn Monroe should be clothesless. The nudists held a fashion show in which models were adorned with hats, sandals and earrings. They also demonstrated a beach basket designed to solve the nudists' No. 1 problem, no pockets. . After the show members staged a parody on people who wear clothes. It was in the form of a masquerade ball, and it was hard to recognize anyone. They all wore clothes.
