(U.R) A Southern Illinois University so cialogist has found that some mentally ill persons "carry on managerial and professional jobs with apparent success. Dr. Herman Lantz reported on the first mental study ever made of a large group of non-hospitalized men. His subjects were 1,000 World War II Air Force officers and enlisted men from various culture regions and walks of life. "Some mentally ill persons make the grade in high - status positions because somehow they are able to integrate their de vient personalities with their oc cupations," Lantz said in a re port in the journal, Social Problems. The sociologist found 36.1 per cent of the 119 men who held high-status positions in civilian life were severely psychoneurot ic; Zl per cent were muaiy so, and 8.4 per cent were actually psychotics the most advanced form of mental illness. Lantz said his findings "call for an analysis of such people to learn how they are able to inte grate their psychoneuroses with their jobs." His study shows persons en gaged in agricultural vocations are least psychotic of any occu pation. Lantz believes this is due more to rural family and group life than to occupation. He found few students and clerical workers were mentally ill.

Daily's U-Drive Medford Airport Monday, Junt 13, 1955 MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL A Nkhol's Worth of ... Comment On This and That By HARMAN W. NICHOLS United Pratt Fearer Writer Washington (U.R) Margaret Truman claims that she heard ghost sounds around the White House when her pappy was president. Our present leader, Mr. Eisenhow er, claims he's a sound sleep er and that he and Mamie don't pay any a 1 1 e n t ion to noises in the dark of night. All of that sent me to the library to look up the business of spooks around the nation's capital. Seems that back there in the 1920s a ghost, or something, showed up and scared the wits out of a Capitol floor-scrubber. This fellow finally got so work- Herman Nichols KEFAUVER MISSES CAP Detroit (U.R) Sen. Estes Ke fauver, who hails from the "greenest state in the land of the free," wished for his Davy Crockett cap today. Kefauver told an audience "If I'd known the weather in Chicago was go ing to be so cold, I would have brought my coonskin cap."

According to some fine re search done by an unknown re porter for the National Tribune on Sept. 8, 1927, a black cat. or some other form of ghost was on the prowl nightly in Statuary Hall where live the marble and bronze likenesses of the great in our history. According to the reporter, who made a thorough study of the problem, the cat was black, as, indeed, all cats are in the dark of night. Cat Wandered The fellow who wrote the story said that the cat was all over the place every night. Frightening the daylights, or nightlights out of night care takers. Before the floor-washer dis appeared, the reporter got hold of the man. The cat, although he never saw her, he said, must have been "big as a big tiger" on account of she flashed green eyes "as big as saucers" when she went running around statues of the likes of Uriah M- Rose of Alabama, the jurist, writer and world traveler. Not to mention Gen. James Shields, the only man who ever served in the Senate from three states. The cat, and her offsprings. according to the latest reports, also became quite fond of Gen. Lew Wallace, the soldier, states man author. Maybe the pussy had read, or heard about the wonderful trib ute paid to the general Jan. 11, 1910 by Sen. Albert J. Bever idge, of Indiana, from whence the general sprang. "General Lew Wallace loved liberty for all men and fought for it." Escape Sought Mayhap the cat dearly loved liberty, too, and was looking for a way out of the gloomy hall of the immortals which looks so eerie in the after hours. - Samuel Adams, according to the old-time chroniclers, also was a favorite haunt of the kitty and her tribe. How could she and her young help but be im pressed by the likeness of a man who signed the declaration, and was the press agent, you might say, for what happened at the Boston tea party? After all, Sam was known as the "father of the American Revolution," and it says to right there under his statue. Any smart cat also couldn't help but cuddle to the likeness of Daniel Webster, "an expound er of the Constitution." It is said that old Dan had a bunch of cats in his back yard and fed them catnip and other feline delica cies by the hour. But, cats or ghosts I'll go along with old Charles Ander son Dana, who once said: "I don't believe in ghosts, but I've been afraid of them all of my life."
